AN ADVENTURE ON THE HUMBER.—One of those
" Hair-breadth 'Scapes," said by S!aakspere to ap-
pertain unto " field and flood," occurred on the Humber
yesterday. As the New Holland Railway Company's
steamer was crossing from New Holland to Hull, at 5,30
in the afternoon, the passengers on board were suddenly
surprised to see the captain rush up the bridge, com-
municate with tho engineer, and give hurried orders to
the man at the wheel. The engines were at once re-
versed, and, in mid-stream, the vessel was brought to, and
remained as motionless as the wind and tide—both of
which were strong—would permit, It was soon discovered
that about a furlong ahead of the steamer was fluttering,
a mere speck in the distance, a signal of distress, in the
shape of a white handkerchief attached to a walking stick,
and held aloft by some one in a small boat. Directly the
packet got up to this singular object, all passengers rushed
eagerly to the side to get a glimpse of it. There were two
young gentlemen, shivering with cold, and splashed and
bespattered with water and mud, in a small frail boat, and
they had neither ears,:nor sails,nor any means of steering their
little craft. A rope was thrown them, and they were soon re-
leased from their perilous position. When on board, the
young fellows were plentifully "chaffed" as to their nautical
adventure, one burly passenger of the fore-cabin, with a
third-class ticket, and a regard for "naught or nobody" in
particular, drily asking, "Heave lung h'd bin out? Any
Provisions left ?" The young men then told the cause of
their predicament. They said they had walked along from
Hull to Faull, and there carelessly stepped into a little
boat which lay by the river's bank, Some fellows passing
gave it a push into the stream, and away it went up the
river without oars or any means of steering. They have
determined to take proceedings against the man who thus
SO heartlessly treated them to a practical joke that might
have ended as many jokes have, fatally.—Eastern Noe n-
