A HEROIC ACT AND A PRoyIDESTIAI. !
EsCApE.-On Wednesday morning last. a |
little child of Ellen Bebr, cOlored, fell into !
the bayou opposite it's mothers residence,
in the rear of \. T. GastrrlPs store, and,
strange to say, tloated down tho stream
on the surface of the water until it reach
de the mouth of tho bayou. some hundred
and fifty wards or more from the point
where it fell in. Here it encountered the
ferry fiat which was moored al the mouth
of the bayou, passed under its entire
length, coming up again to til ur-
face after emerging from under the boat
and drifted down the river toward the
coal hull which lies Just above the wharf
boat At this moment the attention of |
Sam Mclaughlin, colorcd WAS called to the
pcrilous situation of the little one, and
with heroism for which he deserves
the admiration and thanks of the whole
plunged into the stream and
Drought tho child safely to shore. We
that the infant was not Sc
riously injured, and up t." our latest adj
vices, was getting along we'll. 1t is sup
posed that the clothing prevented the
child from sinking; however this may
be, it was certainly Il providential escape.
All credit say we, to Sam Mclaughlin.
