such ant extent that the City OF Dublin lay to for

City to New York yesterda! forenoon, run down a
small boat In which two msn had been seated. For.
tunatey the men, on llnting that they could not
escape the collision, jumpal into the water and had
barely time to get out OF tie course when the small
boat was struck by the paddles of the ferrybOat ana
turned over four or five tines. The men struggled
in the water Tor neary seven minutes before
assistance reached them, and then they were on the
verge of exhaustion. Theywere rescued by the crew
OF q smack, and none hit expert swimmers could
have held themselves so bng aOat, considering the
weight OF their wet cldhes. The ferryboat New
York from COrtlandt steet passed near the spot
and there Xas great indignation among the passen-

left to struggle In the watlr for so long time. The
pilot OF the Plainfle Id jptined himself by the plea
that he was endeavorng b avoid the ferryboat New
