SAM PATcH LEAP.-A drunken sailor be-
longing to schooner Hart performed a feat jus;
outside of Chicago the other day which he will
hardly wish to repeat. The Chicago Press
says he went TO mast head, then to main mast
truck, where hanging by ore hand to the slend-
er top mast, he wrenched off the gilt ball and
hurled it TO a distance from the vessels side,
then sprang into the air, coming down feet
foremost into the water and after being under
water until it vas supposed he had gone to
Davy Jones' locker, he rose to the surface and
was rescued. His first enquiry after concious-
ness was restored was as to the whereabouts of
the man who bet him Sl5. The distance Jump
ed was one hundred and seventy feet, ind he lies
seriously injured at the hospital, in Chicago.
