A Child Barely Rescued from tho
Jaws Of an Alligator.

Jaws Of an Alligator.
(From the Handsboro, Miss, Democrat. univ
3lst)
Last Saturday, about shutdown. four
miles east of this place on Biloxi bay. &C.
CURED a scene calculated to send thrill
OF horror through every human heart.
and to make even the boldest tremble
with fear. Two little girls, daughters of
Mr.. ELAN r. Blackwell, living on the
Back Bay Of Biloxi, while bathing in the
Day Immediately in front O. his dwelling,
were attacked by an enormous alligator.
The eldest, girl Of about seven years Of
age was holding the youngest, an infant
o1 TWO years, In her hands, and was quiet
~ sn)oylng her bath, when suddenly her
i'tt'e sister was snatched from her, and
borne swiftly from the shore. Terrified
beyond measure, and unable to render any
assistance to her unfortunate sister, the
elder girl uttered scream, which was
quickly caught by the ear Of the father.
VINO happened. accidentally, to be passing
within 30 or 40 feet of the SPOT where his
daughters were bathing. Realizing in
stantly, from the tone of the voice. that

Blackwell, who is an active and athletic
man, rushed rapidly to their assistance.
and arrived at the spot just in time to
discover his little daughter being borne
ont into the bay by an alligator. Com
pretending the scene at once, and neryed
70 almost superhuman efforts by the des.
perate situation Of his child, the aeonized
father leaped madly into the waite: IN pur-
suit of the would.be DESTROYER of his
daughter which was then some IS or 30
yards from shore. The water, for dis
lance of 40 or SO yards out into the bay
from tae point where the children were
bathing, ranges in depth from one and a
half to two feet, and then suddenly at

possible; both, therefore, redoubled
their efforts, the one to reach the point,
the other to prevent it. In this struggle,
although sinking to his waist in the soft
mud at the bottom at each bound, the
father was successful. He succeeded in
grasping his child by the arm about ten
feet from deep water. The alligator,
which all the while held the child's foot
IN its mouth, perceiving itself overtaken,
and alarmed and confused by the bold
ness of the assault, released its hold, and
made its way rapidly into the deep water
in front of 1t. The father completely ex-
hausted, raised the child out of the
water, and, perceiving that it still lived,
by desperate effort succeeded in regain
ing the shore and depositing the child
safely in the hands of its mother. The
little girl is unhurt, with the exception of
a couple Of bruises on its foot, made by
the teeth of the monster.
