As we were gong out TO see tine

that one Of Mr.. Thorne's children, a
little girl about years Old, had fallen
in and gone over the Falls. All was

the Hotel lying apparently dead, hav-

assistance.
Mr.. Thorne with his family, had
been to the extreme fall and were re-
turning: when they came to the 9Th
fall, the servant had just taken the
child from its fathers arms, and was
advancing, when in some way he fell
with the child into the whirling wa
tiers below. The man was saved. 1t

Miss Suydam fell in 1927. Nothing
could be more distressing than the

turned. 1t was truly heart rending.

butcher him. The wretch exclaimed
in Spanish" Mercy, mercy! Oh
God! if they wish to kill me, let
them come and shoot me herc-don't

his life was safe. He rushed below;

drown his sorrows. AS soon as the
