year, on the 14th inst, went swim
ming IN the canal short distance
below LiAerpool, with two compan-
ions They SWAN into the lock,
which being not quite full they
could not reach high enough to pull
themselves out. In their danger
they called for help and were ans
wered by n lady, Mrs. Snowdy, living
near by, who succeeded in rescuing
two of the boys, but failed to rescue
the third IN whom she recognized a
son. The body of the lad was re-
covered in about 30 minutes after he

number of cables or heavy ropes
with which he tied his house and
butcher shop and buildings to
trees above food mark, and in that
way kept his buildings from being
swept away. The buildings were
damaged but they were saved and lac
has home while others, who if they
had possessed his foresight might
have saved their dwelling place OIL
home, but it is not given to every
man to see as far as he did on thai
o ccasion.
