About three years ago, a young lady came froth
London on a visit to a relative near Bolton Abbey, and
with a presentiment that she should be drowned in the .
Strid, of mournful memory. For some time she refused to
visit it ; but at last, overcome by the persuasions and ridi-
cule of her friends, consented to do so. On approaching
the water, which was 45 feet deep, she threatened, with
seeming levity, to leap in, exclaiming, "I am going!" Ai
piercing shriek folloWed ; she had taen the fatal plunge -
A gentleman, a few yards below, seized her bonnet ; but
the strings broke, and she was drowned!

A man who wishes to rival the American Sam Patch,
of diving and leaping notoriety, attempted on Wednesday
to slide down a rope from the cliffs at Dover to the bottom.
He threw himself boldly from the cliff, but before he bad
descended many yards he stopped, and became perfectly
motionless, dropping at the same time two little white flags
that he hcld'in his band when he started. He thus remained •
in the most horrible situation that can be conceived, until
alter a short but fearful pause, some person from the place
whence the adventurer bad started threw him a rope, which
he contrived to lay hold off and fasten round his body. BY
the aid of this rope, and the exertions of his friends above,
I he was rescued from his perilous situation.
In a furious attack that Buonaparte made on Acre,
in April, 1799, Sir Sidney Smith found it necessary to risk
his ship (the Tigre, 74), by warping her into the shoal
water on the south of the town, in order to flank the French
batteries and trenches, and such were the fire and effect of
this movement, that all was reduced to ailence in a verY
few minutes. On this occasion, as Sir Sydney was going
over the ship's side to land and hasten to the beach, the
First Lieutenant and Master chose that unseasonable it 0-
merit to serve him with a written protest against "placing
his Majesty's ship in danger of being lost ;" to which
he
calmly replied—" Gentlemen, his Majesty's ships are built'
on purpose to be placed in danger whenever his Majesty's
service requires it, and of that the commanding officer is the
bt:t judge."— United Service Journal.
