Of Miss Parks, about eighteen years Of age,

was critical in the extreme, and Miss Farka,
who had received q severe injury upon the
head, WAS washed away and drowned. Lieut..
Joseph Stacher gained q footing, and with al
most snperhualan e1ertfous, suecee1ed in
holding the remaining four indies until their
cries brought assistance from the town. The
lieutenant; was severely injured in the back,
and hal not aid come quickly they mnst all

praise for the presence Of mind he exhibited,
whereby he saved the lives Of the remaining
ladies. who IN their fright had struggled with
such earnestness as to almost foFce him under
the water, when NIL would have been lost.
