Nor ought they-they must keep their hands of

(From The Rochester Daily Advertiser of March 81
A THRILLING INCIDENT.-Th following interesting
account oil the rescue OF several persons from almost GER
tam destruction, has ben furnished us by a friend:
Sometime during last Friday night, a few men in Niaga-
"a, U: C., perceived that a boat was in the river adrh
he Immediately took another boat and went after IT,
They soon, with both boats, became inexiricably fastened
in by the ice, which was floating down the river in large
quantities. They were carried into the eddy, about half
a mile from Fort Niagara. The wind at this time was
very high, and the cold excessive; the waves running
eight or ten feet high, dashing and jambing the ice with
great force.
At about Z o'clock in the morning, il was perceived. tba,
these men must inevitably perish, from the severity oil
the cold, unless speedily delivered from their perilous Stu.
ation-ior they had toiled in endeavoring TO effect their
way through the ice, until their energies were entirely
exhausted, and they were chilled past the free use of theiI
limbs.
CARA, with a number OF soldiers, 10 assist them. In a sbor
time, however, is was discovered by those who eazed
rom me shore with intense anxiety, that this last boat wa:
ITSELF In a more imminently dangerous condition than the
other; and the crews of both must, even if the boats were
not crushed and sunk by the furious action of the ice, sooI
freeze TO death. For two or three hours, the painfully ex.
cited spectators were vainly endeavoring to devise scheme:
for their deliverance.
Before yielding them up TO inevitable death, it was de.
ternlned TO make one more attempt 10 save them: accord.
lnglly, some OF the officers, soldiers and citizens took boards
and Notwithstanding the uncertain support of the dashiDe
ice, laid them from cake to cake, and by having person!
stationed along the line, replaced and hold the boards a.
'helr places. Two complete lines were thus laid, one Il
each boat, and the almost frozen crews were lifted out, one
by one, and safely conducted TO the shore bvtbeir magnani
nous deliverers.
The boat from the Fort was out three hours. Some o
The men were so frozen that they could have existed hut
lille longer. Some OF the intrepid men who went TO lhei
rescue, fell in between The ice cakes several times. 90
that their clothes became like sheets OF ice. All, howey
err, were safely landed, much 10 the relief Of the almos
agonizing spectators. We understand that all the mel
who were out, were more or less frozen.
There were many persons who oxerted themselves t
the utmost whose names we have not heard men toned
Sergeant Robinson may be named as the first and lore
most In This almost unparalleled act OF deliverance. 1
was alter ten o clock. when the last man was landed.
