The Sacramento tCal.y Bee relates the
following: ''Some days ago, as the Free
port ferry was taking load of passengers
across the river, and when about half way
over, the rope which is attached to the
bank, and by means Of which the boat is
rtowed, broke. CONSERVATION reigned
among the passengers; none Of the men
could swim; the boat was drifting down;
there was nothing on board by which it
could be padded or its movements direct
ed. For few seconds silence and inactiv-
ity reigned; then strong and healthy
looking Canadian woman, seeing that the
men could do nothing, proceeded calmly
to take of her shoes and stockings. Mod
esty forbade the removal of mitch more,
and, arrayed as weightily as Horatius
Coolies was when the bridge fell and he
jumped into the yellow Tiber with his
harness on his back, she caught rope in

and swan for the shore. There were no
exultant Romans on the bank to greet her
with loud plaudits but the suddenly cheer
full faces of the lords Of creation or fine
boat were beaming upon her with eyes of
admiration. She reached the bank, tied
the rope to a strong tree, and the men
hauled the boat ashoze.''
