The Chicago tribune seems to be the only news outlet to write about the incident as it occurred. Just off the coast of that midwest city, the child who was allegedly attacked, George Lawson, was swimming not too far from a boat offshore when he was abruptly pulled under upon surfacing. His screams brought help from John Adler, who came to the rescue. Quote, I just couldn't believe it, but I had to believe what I saw happening right before my eyes
