CARLSON, TWO RIVERS LIFE SAVER, MAY DIE
Exposure in Rescue of Dorothy A, May Result in His Death
Nelson A. Carlson, age 26, Surfman No. Two, who has been a member of the Two Rivers Life Savers is hovering between life and death at his home in that city with a severe attack of pneumonia. Two weeks ago last night, the Two Rivers Life Savers were called out to assist the gasoline boat Dorothy A. and with a high sea running, the big waves enveloped the crew with the icy surf. Carlson had a slight attack of a cold and the added exposure brought on the ailment that may now prove fatal. His home was at Fish Creek, Door County until he joined the Two Rivers Life Saving crew six years ago.
