The fire was getting hotter and hotter. The
water was thick with human bodies, struggling
for life; she tore her bonnet, already on fire,
from her head, and hand in hand with one she
loved better than herself, took the dangerous
leap. As they rose from the water, Mr.. Fowler
assisted his wife in procuring good hold of him
on or about the shoulders. She wiped the water
from his eyes and mouth, and encouraged him to
retain his hope of being saved. He continued to
struggle with the waves. Half an hour elapsed,
and there were no signs of assistance. His
strength was rapidly failing his wife observing
it, tried anew to cheer him. He said he could
not stand it any longer; it seemed as though he
must give up. At this moment she heard steam
er coming rapidly through the water. She says
-" My dear husband, few moments more and
we are safe. Don't you hear boat coming ?"
He said he did, and Immediately revived, and
made all the efforts in his power, and struggled
for himself and his heroic wife until the Misss-
sippi took them, with scores of others, on her
commodious decks.-[Syracuse Journal.
