NIAGARA PALLs-A PERILoUs Es-
CAPE.-At Niagara Falls, short time
since, visitor proceeded after break
fast to view the suspension bridge
While descending the steps which led
down the bank he slipped and fell into
the water, just above the bridge, and
when discovered was thirty or forty rods
below the bridge, near the shore, rolling
oyer and oyer, borne along by the re-
sistless current, until he caught hold of
of large rock, and after some fruitless
struggles succeeded in seating himself
upon it. The alarm being given, it was
found that there was no means of saw
ing him from being swept away in the
furious rapids, except by lowering
rope ladder down the bank 800 feet,
and casting it within his reach. The
ladder was procured. After it was low
cred about 100 feet it became sntangled
among the rocks and trees. 1t was at
once decided that some ore must go
down to disentangls it, and conduct ii
down as far as shelving rock over the
mans head.
w. B. Ooburn, porter OF the Ladew
Hotel, volunteered, and climbed down
the bank to the place where the ladder
was entangled. He needed assistanceI
and Anthony Shiley and Nat. Crane
offered to go down. The three worked
bravely for more than an hour in con-
Quoting the ladder DOWN the precipice.
At length the waving of handk kerchiefs
and cheerings on the Canada side indi-
Gated to us that the man had sprung to
the shore from the rock, and had begun
to ascend.
After an interval of fearful suspense,
passed in anxiety. lest exhausted by
cold and wet, his strength might yield
before he should reach the top, his head
appeared. He was Immediately seized
and drawn up. Crane, at imminent per-
il to himself, had descended over the
shelving rock to render assistance in
the ascent, which was declined. He
still remained below. But at length he
also reached the summit.
