FearfuI Scene Mt Ningara-HRir-
breadth Escape from Death

AIsNaPS
A correspondent of the Concord, New
Hampshire) Statesman writes
Professor Ruggles, OF Dartmouth Col
lege, had very narrow escape at Mag
ara Falls on Friday evening. While
walking on Goat Island with party OF
ladies, one of them dropped her parasol'
which slid some fifteen or twenty feet
down the bank of the river. Nv. Rug-
ples went down and picked it up, but on
attempting to return, the bank being
steep. and the ground hard, lost his 1901
ing and fell down to the very brink OF
the precipice, which at this point is eigh-
~ or ninety feet high. Here he caught
hold of,the roots of an. uptrrned tree.
the trunk of which hangs over the abyss
The shock caused the tree to shake vlo
lently, and it appeared on the point OF
falling over the precipice The ladies'
sbrieked and called for help, but no as
sistance was at hand.
A movement on the part OF MI hug
ples or a gust of wind, wonld cause
the tree to fall. At this critical moment
one of the ladies took off her basque and
skirts, cut them into strips, got shawls
and other articles of clothing from the
rest of the party, tied them togetheI'
fastened stone to the rope thus formed,
and let it down to Mr.. Ruggles, who,
taking hold of it, walked slowly up the
bank. 1t was moment of fearful sus-
pense. The rope was held firmly by the
ladies above, but it might uHtie or break
and tall of hundred feet on the rocks
below must be the inevitable result
When Mr.. Ruggles reached terra frma,
his fair rescuer, who had shown such re-
markable presence of mind, tainted, and
WAS taken home in an unconscious state
