basins Of water eddies in the river together
between which there Is high ledge of rocks and
quite fall In the stream After fishing together
awhile from the lower eddy, Mike left Devine

another place, and that was the last that was
seen of poor Mike Sometime after boat was
discovered floating in the lower eddy, and ON Sc
curing it the fsh-pole and line used by Nike -
was found in the boat, and one oar gone There
seems to be no doubt that he attempted to cross
the river in the boat, and getting into the fails
between the eddies, was upset and drowned. A
large force Of men have been dragging the river
since but his body has not been found Dan
