Their examination demonstrated that
the man had not only descended into
the depths, but that he had disappear
ed in the cover, which is only sixteen
inches square, connecting the vault
with the main sewer on Ellicott street.
A long pole was procured by the Off

without success. One of the prisoners
was.induced TO enterthe sewer to sec
if he could find him, but hewas unable

From the description of the sewer il
seems almost inevitable that the man
must have suffocated before reaching

he did not, he. must have experienced
come terrible. sensations in forcing his
passage through. r .r z7g.l s.-
He is described as being Eve feet
eleven inches in might, and proportion
ately stout, and it would seom almost
impossible for such a person to sqeeze
himself along the narrow passage from
the vault TO the main sewer; but ifhe
did succeed in accomplishing his object
what must have been his horror to find
himself in the passage, when perhaps
he thought the small passage termiha-
ted somewhere above ground. He may
have reached the large sewer, but in
that event, his fate could only be a
most frightful death, in the most dismal
place 70 be conceived of-the dark
sewer ola large city, surrounded by.
myriads of rats, which, he knew; would
soon feast upon his deadbpdy-perhaps
would not even what for his death, but

Whatever may have been his fate,
