A Marrow Escape From Drowning in a
Worse Place Than the Ditch esp Canal
LAWRENCE, Mass, Nov. At has just
leaked out that Gen. Butler came near be-
ing drowned last Friday evening. He
came up the river on the j. L. Mather, and
just at the upper edge Of the rapids, four
miles below this place, the steamer ran
upon rock and stuck there. It was in
dispensable that Gen. Butler should be at
Lawrence at an early hour, and small
boat carried By the steamer was brought
along side and Gen. Butler, Mayor Breen,
Hon. Caleb Saunders and Capt. Romans
took places in it. The water was running
very swiftly, and as soon as the boat
was loaded the current began to
suck it under the counter of the steamer.
In endeavoring to push it clear the boat
was partially swamped, and each effort
to right matters only made them worse.
The current was so swift that only an ex-
traordinarily strong swimmer could escape
being drawn into the rapids and whirled
down the river mile Or two before still
water could be reached. Fortunately the
deck hands, after much effort, succeeded
in hauling each man on board, the general
escaping with banged up hat and thor
ough wetting.
