PerflOus POsitiOn---An Insane Woman
takes Possession Ofthe Walking Beam
of q Steamboat.


Takes Possession 0fthe Walking Beam
OF aSteambOat.
The Passengers OF one of the boats of
Goodrich S line had something of an ex-
citing time when the boat was coming
from Chicago night or two since
Among the passengers was an insane
being brought to this city. The woman
was so quiet that her guardians relaxed
viligence when suddenly they discovered
| she was missing. At once a search was
made through all parts of the boat. But
without success, and it was feared that
the woman, taking advantage of the
moment when not watched had jumped
| overheard and was lost. As this con-
clusion was arrived at, one of the sailors
discovered through the darkness of the
night, singular object On the walking
beam of the boat. Lights were brought
when it was discovered that the object
was the insane woman in question. She
sat on the walking beam as lady would
on side saddle, and appeared to take
extreme delight in being borne up and
down with it. How she had succeeded
IN getting upon the beam, most danger
dangerous position, could not be imag-
lned, but that she was there is certain.
The passengers focked about much to the
delight of the unfortunate woman who
acted more and more recklessly every
moment as she saw she was watched and
it was feared she would fall from her
seat among the machinery and be crushed
to DEATH
At the time heavy sea was running
and the boat lay in such position that
if the engine was stopped it endangered
the safety of the boat. 1t was slowed
however, as much as considered safe.
At this the woman appeared indignant |
and made motions with her body as boy
will with rocking horse to have it go
faster, and threatening to jump off if it |
did not
The passengers partook of the excite
ment of the scene and were not little |
alarmed expecting that every moment
would witness the woman cast below. A |
short consultation was held, when the |
passengers were requested to move away |
which they did-Then several strong
sailors after several attempts, sue !,
ceeded in grasping the woman as the |
walking beam came down and rescuing !
her, much to her own regret. When |
she was safe every one on the boat who !
to see frightful development |
to the scene, breathed easier Wiiiconsin |
