and the boat went over the falls three
hundred yards below. The boat had on

and powerful. AS soon as the cable broke
all the passengers except two jumped over
board and struggled vainly to reach the
shore but were swept over the falls. The
boat righted after going over the brink
and lodged against the Belknap bridge, a
short distance below, where two paSSen-
gers who still chung to it were
rescued, and two men on the shore
took skiff and tried to effect the rescue
of those who jumped into the water, but
were also swept over the falls. OF the
thirteen men concerned eleven were lost.
All were strangers going to the mines and
their names are not known. All the pack
animals drowned.
