THE other night six young men Of Coving-
ton, ranging in age from fifteen TO twenty {
three years, started out in a small skif for
a ride upon the Ohio river. They had not
been out long when the steamboat q. w.
Bachelor came along, throwing up heavy
waves. The young mems skiff was caught
in the swell of the boat, and as none of
them knew how to handle a skiff, it was
soon upset. Before they knew the danger
they were struggling in the water None
of them could swim, but they all caught
hold of the sinking boat Their frantic
efforts to hold on kept the submerged
skiff turning over and over in the water.
Each time the skiff was turned
over they would all be compelled to let go,
and as it would right up again they at
tempted to renew their hold. This turning
operation was kept up, and one by one the
drowning boys failed to catch as the skin
would right up until only two were left
These held ON firmly and steadily and
aoated with the boat down the river, until
their cries attracted attention, and they
were rescued After picking up the two
half-drowned boys the rescuing party
| looked around for the others until thor
oughly satisfied that further search for
them alive was useless They then pulled
| to the shore with the two they had saved,
| where it was learned that they we're Bud
| Marsh and Ed Guy, aud that those who had
| been drowned were Frank and Walter
Guy, Geo Glover and Harry Wilson.
THE tailor workmen of Covington have
