Oren Volz, Fort Knox military police, when she warned him there was a half-submerged log near the landing, friends said. Swerved to Miss Log - Her husband swerved the boat to miss the log and Mrs. Volz fell out. Sergeant Volz leaped after her but was dragged under by his hip boots which filled with water as he brought his wife to the surface. He loosed his hold to remove the boots and was unable to find Mrs. Volz again when he came up, witnesses said. Sergeant and Mrs. Volz, who lived in a summer cabin at Wagner Beach, had been married fifteen months. Sergeant Volz' home is Columbus, Ohio.
