An Americans Success.

Capt. Boynton, wearing his india rubber
suit, has crossed the straits OF Messina,
passing successfully through both Scylla
and Charybdis during the prevalence of
o severe gale, which caused the destruc-
tion of one Of the accompanying vessels.
Fortunately there were no lives lost.
The trip took five hours, and was wit
messed by the American consul and many,
distinguished Italians. Shortly after
starting, Boynton received blow from
the tail of. one. of the large fishes which
abound in the straits, but upon the ap-
proach of the harpoon boat he was found
entirely, unini ured and laughing at the
mislap. Notwithstanding the predic-
tions that lie would never leave the wa
ter alive, Capt. Boynton landed in excel
lent condition and in no way fatigued by
his marvellous exertions.: His reception
by the entire population Of Messina was
most excited and enthusiastic. He was
officially welcomed by the mayor and all
thorities, and subsequently entertained
at a public banquet. Capt. Boynton
compares the Scylla and Charybdis to
the rapids and whirlpools OF the Niagara
river =; NJ. i.-..
