IHRILLING Escape OF FIVE YOrNG LADIES
Last sunday afternoon five young ladies got
INTO boat that was tied to a tree in the pond
OF the upper dam in Ware. In rocking and
pushing the boat around, the fastening became
loosened, and they drifted out into the stream
tn 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 foamed with destructive fury
Inc cries Of the young ladies drew together
hundreds of spectators, who watched with fear
ful anxiety the boat drifting slowly towards
the edge of the dam. No other boat was at
hand, and speedy death seemed certain to
the young ladies
As the boat with its precious freight neared
the dam, the spectators seemed dumb with
horror. Each looked To the other, imploring
help. knowing that help was next to impossible
while the shrieks OF the young ladies in the
boat pierced the hearts of their friends with
terrible anguish. Among that crowd of men
and women, was there no heroic spirit TO
attempt rescue, Presently there was a stir
among the spectators, and young sailor ap-
peared, who boldly plunged into the water.
lie swan along just above the flush boards, but
1t was extremely doubtful whether he could
reach the boat in season to prevent ii from
going over the dam. 1t was moment of fear
ful suspense. The young man struggled through
the water, and the boat came sweeping down
upon the current 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, bracing
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 wild. tumultuous shout, which
was taken up by the hills around and echoed
back to the ears of the joyful multitude. Slow
ly, but 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 the name of the young man, but we
hope to publish it some time alongside the
name of one of the ladies he has saved, among
