TOUCHING IscrpENr-Faial A6eetiom.--A
brief item was recently published, noticing the
death by drowning of a little son of Mr.. Nash,
keeper Of the lighthouse at Grand Point, Me-
most touching story connected with the oc-
currence is related by the Belfast (Me.) Age
Mr.. Nash fell out of his skiff while throwing
ou: an anchor:
Because of his lameness he was unable to
rtr1Q nd riain f, fI.a
hold of the gunwale of the skiR and at once
halloed to his little boy Elisha, who was look.
ing out of the open window, (the house being
but small distance from the shore 10 pi We his
mother the alarm. Mrs. Nash who had been
confined to the house by Illness for a fort
night, heard her husbands voice and at once
started for the rescue. Before leaving the
house she charged Elisha to remain on the
door step till her return. Seing no hope of
saving her husband herself, she ran to the
house Of a neighbor for assistance Elisha
beholding his fathers perilous situation could
remain quiet no longer, and SO ran down to the
shore, and at once began to wade into the wa
ter to attempt to help him. His father bade
him to keep out OF the water and sit on the
shore until his mother came. Seating himself
upon the shore he patiently awaited his moth
er's approach.
Mr.. Nash, by struggling hard to maintain
his position, had well nigh exhausted himself
and while clinging to the side Of the skif it
again turned over, aud he thereby lost his hold.
Bidding his child farewell he sank beneath
| the waves, with the belief that he should never
rise alive. But to his joy, rs he sank, he caught
hold Of the rope with which the boat was
moored, and by this means drew himself up
and got on board. Upon looking for his child,
/ he found he had disappeared. The little fell
| low, thinking to render his father essential aid
betook himself to the water he saw him
sink, and waded out as far as he could, and
| then reached forth his hands towards his
| father. The strong tide bore the little fellow
| beyond his depth, and in the quiet Of death he
| relinquished his hold on life! When the
| neighbors arrived, they found Mr.. Nash in
| the boat quite exhausted, and the body of his
| devoted child floating near the beach.
| Our informant, who saw the corpse of the
boy soon after ii was recovered, says that its
| tiny hands were still outstretched, and the
eyes wide open, as il still anxiously looking In
| the direction of his father. As the fond and
| heart-stricken parents bent over the cherub.
| like form of the darling one as it was arranged
| for burial, many eyes, like theirs, were suffused
| with tears, because of the pathetic tale con-
nected with his death.
