tinued his way. At 0A. ". he hailed the
steamer Bost ma, about fifteen miles above

which made the river rise In white.capped
waves, which covered him completely, and
occasioned him no little trouble and an.
noyance. lie arrivedat Portsmouth atnoon
where 10000 people were awaiting his
approach. Having had no breakfast
the Captain, still remaining in the water
sent request to the hotel for lunch,
and, after some delay, received q reply
that II he desired anything to eat, he must
himself come for It. Politely thanking
them for their generous hospitality, he
pushed of, hungry as he was. A boat fol,
lowed him, and one OF It's passengers
brought him a few slices Of the outside OIL
loaves OF bread, which the Captain soor
transferred TO the inside OF his stomach.
He kept on his way, fighting very hard
against the terrible wind and the danger
Gus whitecaps, making necessarily slow
time, and reaching Buena Vista after five
hours OF exhausting battle with the Gle
ments.
The Captain by this Time experienced .
sensation OF emptiness, again stopped ant
sent for food, but the messenger never 70
turned. Understanding the true inward.
ness OF his own situation, he pulled of
and fought on to vanceburg, where he
was welcomed by large crowd, and {
bountiiul meal was served TO him while
remaining in the water alongside OF a
steamer. He reached Rome at 8 o'clock

and half hours, eating but one meal in
thirty.lhree hours, and running in thai
time cighty.two miles-the most exhaust
ing trip, on account Of the wind, he hal
yet made, being submerged by the wave:
during almost the entire distance.

ness his arrival. Captain Boyton has lost
twelve pounds since leaving Pittsburgh
His muscles are swollen and sore, and III!
hands and limbs bear witness to his "a
tiguing labors. His face is much sun.
burnt He is, nevertheless, a tine-looking
man, with clear, steady, blue eye, and i
frame which gives evidence OF endurance
Every feature indicates courage and reso
luton.
He is anxious that no accident shall oc
cur on his arrival tomorrow in Cincin
natl, and particularly requests that ne
boats shall come out TO meet him, anC
that all the spectators will remain on the
bridges or on the landing. lie will reach
the suspension bridge aud pass under it a
