THE Truth ABOUT "SAM, PATCu"-HIs LAST LEAP
"A correspondent of the Rochester Democrat takes
exception to a statement concerning the renowned
Sam Patch which recently appeared in an English
book, and gives the correct version of the story OF
that individuals last leap. He says:-
"Sam Patch's last leap occurred on the afternoon
of the 18th of November, 1929, on a cold cloudy.
dismal autumn day. The heavens, as if in keeping o
with the melancholy spectacle, were almost clothed
IN sackcloth. The sun refused to look upon the
mOurniul tragedy. But ten thousand human beipos
more thoughtless, lined the banks of the river on
both sides, perched also upon the mills and houses
and in trees, above and below the high banks, to
cheer and encourage the poor drunken suicide in
his self-immolation A scafFcld was erected thirty
feet high, the island above the falls as they then
were, standing very near where the saw-mil upon
the brow of the cataract NJ W is. From that scaf-
fold poor Sam dropped into the deep water, as it
then was below. Ten thousand eager eyes watched
him as he went like an arrow down against
the dark ledge Of rocks, a distance Of one
hundred and twenty-siX feet. Ten thousand
eager eyes gazed with breathIess anxiety upon the
spot where he fell, expecting to see him emerge
from the water, as he had done most gracefully
just one week before, after jumping from the pre-
cipice without the scatfold, distance of ninety-sx
feet; boats put out below, and sailed around near
the spot ready to pick him up Ten thousand
people, like great crowd of witnesses, still lining
the cliffs, still srainiDg their eyes to catch the first
glimpse Of any dark speck the waters, no one
daring hardly to move or draw a long BREATH for
near hall an hour, until one by they began to
turn away and give him up, many with fearful
eyes, many with words saddened and subdued upon
their lips, Poor SAINT was his last leap How
fool-hardy! How wickedr And some were heard
to say, How wicked to countenance a miserable
man in such suicide If we had not been looking
on he would not have done it
"For two long hours, at least, until darkness
stopped their work, eager men hunted all over and
through the waters below theials, to find the poor
remains of the miserable victim of his own folly,
but found them not. Next day the search was re.
newcd Indeed, it was kept up with more or less
diligence for some time; and vet all in vain for that
season. Searching, dragging. fishing in the waters
day alter day revealed nothing. But the next
spring the body was picked up by some unknown
person near the mouth of the river seven miles be-
low, as it hoated out into the lake. 1t haa lain
in the water all winter; had gone down over the
lower falls aso and still was in such state ofpre
servation as to be readily identified. 1t was taken
up and decently buried in spot of ground near at
hand"
