lame horse who was still board and calmly await
ing his fate when left The human creatures fbrtu
nawly found the ice generally strong enough to bear
them and walked for distance hope that
the agents of the Ferry company who their Distress

where they the ice ,be ladies' Ahivering aad
much ghsened, until the shouts of the s uu!Ated
the enterprise OF the bostmen along shore who rowed
out and rescued them, at the moderate price of
two shnipgs ahead The general remark when
the Columbus went down, that it q righteous
judgment on the company. Some wondered Why

the agents to be the strongest boat their lue.
