MARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING.
On the 4th inst, Willie Burbank,
aged 16. Ernest and Elmer Watkins.
aged IA and II respectively, and
Everett Blodgett, living with Milton
Cook, aged IL, came to the conclu-
sion that it was too tame TO come
homo from school on the road afoot,
when the river offered so nice chance
for a ride. So, launching an old dila-
pidated, un-riyer-w worthy skif, and
stepping aboard, set off in fine glee.
The river being quite high, all went
merry until they came to q right angle
bend in the river at the upper end OF
Mr.. Burbsnk's meadow; the river,
being very rapid and careles, withall,
stopped over into the boat, carrying it
both ends and part of the other side,
down broadside, smashing off one side,
leaving the boys with rather mean
craft, without oar or setting pole.
But still pursuing their journey, some
times the remnant of the boat and
sometimes the boys top, but as good
luck would have it, they all kept to-
gether, Willie and Ernest being
swimmers. Willie being in command
of the craft, ordered Ernest save
himself and he weuld try to save the
boys. According to orders, Ernest
swan ashore, saving himself and hat,
The wreck and crew floating on full
one-half mile, came 20 anchor in front
Of Mr.. Pattee's, having lost all their
hats, dinner pals, and nearly all the
starch they had in them. Willie
found himself with leg badly bruised.
They all attended school next day,
but voted unanimously to foot it home
in future. The next day Mr.. Wat
kins presented Willie with a nice new
hat for his bravery and generalshIp.- =
