A. j. Lawson was enjoying boat
ride on the bay the early part of this
week, and having occasion to stand
up, his foot caught in the rowing
stirrup and he was pitched into the
bay. Mr.. Lawson could not swim.
He got hold of one side of the boat.
The row boat upset. Mr.. Lawson
climbed on the bottom of the boat.
The waves washed him off, He got
hold of the craft again; righted it (;
chung to the side took observations /;
found the wind off lake, and knew he
would drift ashore in about an hour
if he kept hold of the boat. The
tug Effie L. rescued him.
The river was damned so full of
drift wood last Sunday, above the
bridge, that passage up the river for
boats was an impossibility. The barge
Young was blockaded in the middle
of the river. In the afternoon, n
wind off land drove the drift wood
down the river, and caused the Cap
tain Mckay considerable trouble in
getting the steamer City of Mackinac
to her landing. To get one of those
steamboats, up the river at night
through the drift wood, without dam
age to the paddle wheels, requires con-
siderable skill and patience. The
steamboat can only be driven ahead
short distance, then the wheels are
reversed a moment or two, which
causes the water to clear the rubbish
short distance from the steamer
then ahead few more feet, and so on
until the landing is reached. A boom
stretched across the river, with a tug
at each end, would sweep most of the
rubbish.out of the way.
