but duty TO the community and to the
young girl who was standing SO near

Capt. Clason, Of the sloop Tommy,
plying between Clear Lake and this
city, gives the News IN account Of IN
act Of heroism BY . young girl that 10
emiuently worthy Of record. He says
that during the last norther Q small
sloop. in which there were two men,
vas capsized of Edwards Point.
Both succeeded in getting upon the
bottom Of the boat, and in this peri
lous position were buf3eted BY wind
and exposed to the cold for about
twenty-four hours. One Of the men,
utterly exhausted, was ready to sue
cumb, but his companion bound him
TO the boat With q rope. and thus pre-
vented his destruction. Finally they
were carried BY the waves to within
about . mile Of the shore. when they
were seen through . sryelass BY Mis-
Evans. . sixteen-year-old daughter Of
a gentleman residing At the Lawrence
place on the bsv shore, between
Edwards Point and the mouth Of
Clear Greek. The brave girl. realiz-
ing their imminent peril, and know
ing that there was no one on the place
to 70 to their rescue. herself launched q
frail skiff and set out to aid them.
With such sea - was running. this
would have been Q hazardous under
taking for q strong man, but the little
heroine was not daunted BY danger.
Pulling through the pillows until
exhausted. she would drop her an
Choir. rest, and, hosting her weights,
would start anew. In this manner
she slowly worked her way to the men.
whom she relieved from their dan
gerous situation. and safely conveyed
to land, attending to their wants. and
gently caring for them at her fathers
house.
