t—hebiestaadablishme Salvi, a daring
mentofmoes.pablo
Fugue, at present at the Rock Gardens, Scarborough, had
a narrow escape fur her life, or at least her limbs, on Satur-
day afternoon last. She was annouueed to ascend a wire.
rope from the gardens to the top of the saloon—a feat
which she accomplished very cleverly. In returning, how-
ever, and while performing some movements on the rope,
the wind, which had blows in gusts during the afternoon,
caused her to lose her balance, and she slipped off the wire
to the great consternation of the beholders. With remark-
able presence of mind, she seized the wire with her hands,
and hung on for several minutes, cdling lordly for help.
At length, as soon as possible, the wire was sleckened, and
Madame Salvi was drawn to the side of the brink, and re-
leased Inner her critical position. Had she Mien to the
ground she could not have ramped serious injury. The
screams of many in the crowd were louder than the cries
of Madame Salvi herself. Notwithstanding her narrow
escape, Madame Salvi repented her dangerous exploits on
the rope on Thursday, in the presence of a great number of
speetators.
