Thrilling Escape of Five Young Ladies.

Last Sunday afternoon five young ladies
got into a boat that was tied to a tree in the
pond of the upper dam in Ware. In rock
ing and pushing the boat around, the fasten-
ing became loosened, and they driIted out
into the stream, In a moment they saw
their peril. Before them was the brink Of a
high dam, at the foot Of which were jagged
rocks over which the water boiled and foam
ed with destructive fury. The cries Of the
Young ladies drew together hundreds of spec
tators, who watched with fearful anxiety the
boat drifting slowly towards the edge of the
dam. No other boat was at hand, and a
speedy death seemed certain to the young
ladies. As the boat with the precious freight
ncared the dam, the spectators seemed dumb
with horror. Each looked TO the other I'M
ploring help, knowing that help was next to
impossible, while the shrieks of the young
ladies in the boat pierced the hearts of their
trienls with terrible anguish. Among that
crowd Of men and women was there no heroic
spirit to attempt Il rescue? Presently there
was a stir among the spectators, anda young
sailor appeared, who boldly plunged into
the water. He swan along Just above

young man struggled through the water and
the boat came sweeping down upon the eur
rent. In another instant the boat was on the
edge of the dam. The young ladies threw
up their arms in terror, and many of the
spectators turned their eyes from the fearful
sight. But at the same instant the strong arm
Of the young sailor seized the boat, and. bra
cling himself against the edge of the dam,
held it from going down upon the rocks
The ladies were saved. Then there arose
from the crowd on either shore a wild tn
multuous shout. which was taken up by the
hills around and echoed back to the ears Of
the joyful multitude. Slowly yet surely,
the Young sailor and hero drew the boat TO
the shore and delivered TO their friends the
young ladies he had rescued. We have not
