situation rather uncomfortable. Just as the boet

for moment drove the engineer from his stand;
but not comprehending the working Of the machine

went aft over the cyendsr and along the pitman,
and hnal!y intruded on the peace aud quiet of the
deck passengers, who very politely cleared the way
for so unexpected visitor. The bear kept his
course until he came TO the stern OF the boat and
then attempted 10 climb up the ruddcr stock; but
hndlng that would not do he plunged into the river,
