seeing the accident. jumped into Ihe
row boat "RAmblsr," lying OF the pier,
and started at once to save the drown

seeing DouRherty carried down with
the tide towards the bridge, Climbed
down the pier and jumped into the
river, catching hold Of the struggling
man, and both were carried some dis.
tance below the bridge.
Finding that the roWboat had
dropped 80 fer down the stream thst 1t
could not come to his assistance, and
his life being endangered by holding on
longer to the drowning man, he Was
compelled to let him 20 and look out for
his own safety. A line WAS thrown to
him from one Of Warmers boats, which
he caught and he was pulled aboard
considerably exhausted. The body Of
DouRherty WAS recovered about an
hour and . half afterwards and taken
to his late residence. An inquest was
