hardly be called game, as the Cotile
boys had everything their way after
the first inning. Colfax went to bat
first and scored one run. .Cotile fol-
lowed with the same score, and then
whitewashed Colfax. On the second
inning it was plainly to be seen that
the Colfax catcher was not in playing
trim. and to Offset the goose egg the
Cotile boys ran mp a string OF IA on

Colfax catcher caught bah on his
nose that knocked out the little play

nings were played, Cotlle not taking
the last inning. The utmost good
humor prevailed, and both players
and spectators enjoyed themselyes.

near Cape Split, Nova Scotia, on We'd

nets and drifted nearer the whirlpool
than they meant TO. In endeavoring to
pull the boat out OF danger the wrist Of
one ofthe men, named Dakin, gave out
and tho boat was dragged into the
Whirlpool and capsized. Gardiner, the
companion, caught ON net buoy, but
In moment both men were sucked
down to great depth, the weight Of the
water upon them being intensely
painful. Then they both rose, and as
Gardiner was about TO advise Dakin whit
te do in order to save himself, they both
went down again. That time, says the
rescued man, both felt sure that their
time had come; still, almost suffocated,
they arose once more. After coming to
the surface of tho second whirlpool they
had only time to draw breath OF two
when they We're sucked down into the
third. Gardiner very nearly perished
while under the surface this time, but
upon rising again he found his compan-
lon near him. He spoke to him but
found that he was corpse. Gardiner
succeeded in reaching his dory and clung

surface, aud no matter which way Gard

cred the corpse. Gardiner was driven
