From The Boston Traveller.
Last Saturday four little boys from
five to ten years OF age, visited the sc;
shore on the northerly side Of Savina
Hill, Dorchester, and heediessly step
ped upon piece of floating ice. The
tide was just then on the ebb, and float
ed the boys off some seventy or eighty
rods from the shore into deep water
before their perilous condition was dis
covered. The alarm being given ,sev
eral of the neighbors ran to the beach
but on their arrival they found the boy
too far off to be rescued without boat
and there was no boat near enough t.
be made available in season to save
them. The little piece Of ice on which
they stood-belng not more than five
or six feet square-was rocking by tht
force of the water and the uneven bal
ancing of the boys weight upon it.
In this emergency, Mr.. Joseph S
Hilliard-father OF one Of the young
est boys-aryiyed upon the beach JUS
in time to see two of the smallest slip
from their position into the water
With admirable presence Of mind and
equal tortltude he threw off his coat
and. with a stable door taken from it,
hinges for the purpose, he pushed i
before him and swan to their relief
While on his way he directed the two
boys who were still standing upon the
ice to extend a stick which they had
it being only small rattan-to tht
two bows who were in the water, tC
catch hold upon. In this way one lit
tie fellow, probably five and half OF
six years Of age, grasped at it,aRd Ta'
thereby aided to regain his pc sition oil
the ice.
The stick was then extended to the
other, and he caught hold Of it and
was drawn partly out Of the water
when, losing his hold, he fell back
again. This was Mr.. billiards. son
Let the reader imagine this thrilling
scene-this terrible trial to the fathers
affectionate heart, in witnessing his
little son, only s'x years of age, sink,
ing the second time into the water un.
der such painful circumstances.
But Mr.. H. was equal to the crisis
still he cautioned and counselled the
bows while swimming to their rescue
telling them to keep perfectly quiet,
and again reach out their stick to his
little boy, which they did; and again
the poor, chilled and almost exhausted
child grasped it, and was thus sustain
ed with only head and neck above
water, until reached by his father.
Mr.. H. then,by means of the door and
piece of ice, kept these boys out OF
water some haitian hour or more, when
a boat was obtained and took them all
