Va., Oct. 29.?Across two and a half miles of whtte-capped and chilling water of the Chesapeake Bay, Captain Mills, of Suffolk, swam yesterday afternoon in a heroic and successful attempt to save four companions.

Finally the deserted but welcome beach of Lynnharen Inlet came In sight of the almost spent swimer. Barely able to-make the last lap of his thrilling race against death. Captain Mills crawled ashore. He was too weak to stand upright. The- lower part of his body was covered with bruises and cuts^rom the barnachleclad refuge poles. Hardly ablA to move,.every muscle of his body at therend of its endurance, his face inched and drawn, he moved on hands and knees into I the beach sand, into whose warm 'embrace he burrowed unt+fTie was able to walk. } At the flsh house of Henry Pacini he- found the aid for which he had risked hie life. Paccini gave the shivering captain a stimulant and then n a motor boat the two went after the four men for whom Captain Mills had risked his life. The outgoing tide would hare soon swept the boat to tea. Yesterday morning Captain Mills with four oompanions also of Suffolk, started for an all day cruise in a small gasoline motor boat.
