eliortly it was found necessary to throw them
overboard, as well as • quantity of provi•

by the motion of the peddles. the capt.iu baying
revt reed them. and Amok. N.. sieroin *reined confident
enough to undertake the rescue. A gentleinaneeeing
what was the matter, threw off hi. coat, and pistil ird
into the water eitliout • moment's hesitation. Th•
child had come up mid now mink for the. second time,
and when the swimmer got out far enough, was out of
sight. lie instantly dived, and after a brief MP reel
rose to the surface, with the boy its his arms. The
child gra.ped the arm of the evrimnier with • deadly
clutch. They were hauled out of the water together.
Measures were ttkeis to resuscitate the child, which
was effected hy the time the boat arrived at Williams'
burgh, and the reeener quietly went Ida way home, •

not be returned. The mime of the brae e rescuer was
