scarcely credible for boys of their age; having provided them-
slres with pockets fall of stories and bricks, they atsailed the

directions, with nothing shoit of a defeat. In a little time,
however, they returned, having reinforced their party, and re-,

inflating the lungs of the young man with his own mouth, before
the apparatus fur restoring drowned pertain could be procured
from the Town Court, where -it is kept. .In a short time his
exertions to restore suspended -animation were crowned with
success, much to the joy cf the 'dieted parents of the youth.—
A number of merchants and tridninea on the spot humanely
rendered every assistance in their power, and a sabscriptiOn was
immediately set on feat to rawit It►e ypting.seaman, whd, by
his intrepidity, had reamed the youth from a watery grave.
