AN English correspondent writes as
follows :: "On the 2lst of August two
ladies were fishing in deep part of the
river Tyne, called the Turnwheel, about
half mile below the town of Aston
Cumberland; Mrs. A took the right bank,
Mrs. B. the left. The right bank is pre-
cipitous and overhanging and the lime
stone rock near the water is slippery
Mrs. A, in endeavoring to pass from one
rock to another fell inio the water, which
was about twelve feet deep. She struck
ont for the opposite bank, which was
better for landing than the. other, and
from which Mrs. b. was striving to reach
her with a fishing rod /; but, weighed
down by heavy serge dress, she failed
to get within reach and turned back
Becoming exhausted. she found it neces-
sary to float until assistance arrived Mrs.
B., seeing it was impossible to swim with
heavy dress on, ran to shallow part
of the river, waded across rapidly run
ming water, aud with the assistance of an
old man who had been fishing. succeeded
in reaching her friend. Both ladies got
safely to the bank, not having suffered
much from the immersion. But for their
courage and presence of miud, the con-
sequences must have been fatal to one or
both of them The knowle ige that they
could swim doubtless gave them much
confidence. If, adds the person who re-
lates this incident. amy woman is induced
by seeing this to learn the art of swim
ming, she may some day be able to save
her own or fellow creatures life, and
the story will not have been made public
! in vain"
