bottom. Fearing the displeasure of its owner, the borrower
of the bucket immediately let down the reps and watt down
after it, etoppicg three times in her descant by setting her
Get and beck eguinet the sides of the well. Having in this
way retched the edge of the water, she found it necessary
to cell for assiatanos in returnieg, and some workmen eying

boxes, and there leaned backwards against the iron railing.
The railing folds over when required, se as to allow ri gang-

nately worked the rod out of its simple fastening, red in-
stantaneously, all protection being gone, he fell backwards
into the river. The steamer wee stopped and • small boat
lowered, but the attempt to reoover the drowning men
proved unavailing. Greif was men only for an lenient, and
