him out of the water on the ice, which
proved sufficiently strong to sustain his

had barely strength enough to enable him
TO gain the shore. Mr.. Geo. Raymond,
who chnnred to be near AT hand. at the
moment Mr.. Cook fell into the water,
FASTENED TO their relief, and in his efforts
to assist them, he also broke through the
ice, and soon sank, together with Cook
aud Bates. Young Churchill succeeded
in keeping himse ahove the suulace OF
