trick at that place, with the following re-
suit:
The wind was blowing off shore AT the

his peril, he was in the swift current of the
falls unable to stem it, and a scene of wild

The most desperate efforts were made to
stem the current and but one or two parties
were able to do it, and the most of them
were headed for Corn island, including MIR. |
Clown. He and the greater number of his
attendants had TO take water goose fashion.
and wade ashore, all coming out safe, tired, |
and very wet, and the most of them excess |
siVely frightened. The sail boat and its !
crew went over the falls and landsd al Ship |
