for his companions. as he called to them,
some time after he left the boat, to be care
full, At that time they could see him, and
he appeared to be within twenty feet OF the
bank, but he probably then got into an
eddy or counter current, and was unable TO
save himself BOatmen who saw the place
yesterday said that it was impossible for a
man incumbered with heavy clothing and
boots to make the shore unaided 1t is
stated that the parties who rescued the two
