parted company, the tub making excel
lent time to the bottom Of the shaft.
Water was splashed about at a fearful
rate, and a commotion similar to a San
Francisco earthquake, or n Virginia
"cave" created. Several spectators
ran te~rri6cally, but stopped rs soon as
they thought they were out Of danger.
At latest accounts, can quiet on the
