tion of trying their abilities at swimming. The dis-
tance agreed upon was to swim round a sloop in the

two of them turned for the shore, but the thfid, ex-
claiming that if he did not perforrp_ the task he
_ should never see Dundee again!" proceeded,
but being shortly exhausted, he too •turnesfsVor the

could render him no assistance, and, ifideed,'itairowly .
escaped from shating the same fate. His body was
found in the evening.
