power to arrest the flying boat,
: but past them she went like a bullet
from 4 rifle, and was out Of sight
in 4 moment. The conductor
then ordered the engineer to put
! on full head of steam and follow
us rapidly as possible, which he
did, constantly sounding the alarm
Of danger. He did not get an
other glimpse Of the boat, but the
alarm brought the employees at
: Beaver Creek Station to the look
out, and quickly making a slip
moose they sought to throw it ov-
cr the bow of the boat as she came
under the bridge. This they sue
ceeded in doing, but could no more
hold it than they could have held

| Crccl; falls she went with the
speed ofIightning. The falls are
about thirty feet high, and ut the
foot arc 4 number Of large bould-
crs, but the Velocity Of the boat
was such that it cleared them
easily, and struck the water some
twenty feet beyond.
From here no one saw the boat.

i point one hundred miles below
Denver. Through Golden into
the Platte river, and under the
Denver bridges she went, unno-
ticcd, nor slackencd her pace un-
until she lodged in a drift at the
distance below Denver above men
toned. The Platte does not run
very rapidly, but the boat had &C
quired such 4 wonderful speed in
its descent from the mountains
that it far outrode the cGrrent. A
Mr. Walsh, who lives on a farm
near tho drift where the boat
lodged, discovered the boys still
in the boat, which was near
ly full Of water, and took them TO
his home. They were restored to
their overjoyed parents the fol-
lowing evening, after having &C.
complished the most penlous jour
ncy in tho quickest time ever be-
fore made by any human being
who escaped alive. The distance
travelled was one hundred and
forty miles in two hours. but
how it was ever done, or how
the boat escaped being dashed to
pieces upon some Of the huge
boulders or rocky cliffs which
everywhere intercept the course
Of Clear crock, is nothing short Of
4 providcntial miracle. Probably
not again in a thousand years
could the journey be made with
the best appliances and by the
most skillful mariners.
