Oldreiye. who has obtained considerable
reputation by his walking on the water on
the Hudson river and in Boston hdr6or,
walked from Ai6en-Street bridge, on the
Merrimac. this noon to Central bridge, and
challenged death by continuing his trip
through Hunt's Falls. blOre than 5000 per-
sons lined the banks. Oldreive embarked
about I2:I5 in his wooden floats. They are
square boxes Of cedar, about four and q half
feet long, finished in the top with a recess
for the foot. and in the bottom with Il series
OF |collapsable paddles, hanged to swing
horizontally, and on the backward push pre-
sent a ilat surface like the membrane OF a
ducks foot.
He walked slowly down stream. and his
principal progress was by the current.
When he reached the rapids at Hunts Falls
the current, swollen by recent rains, dashed
about over rocks and eddies In hundred d.
rections. Many 3 boat has come to grief In
attempting TO pass there. Swept to the
northerly side and into the swift current,
daShing over rocks and ledges, be tried vain
Nv to keep Roadway, but the current swept
him round and round. Several lines he lost
his balance and fell forward with bis hands
upon his floats. A murmur arose from the
crowd that ne was gone. Had he capsized
his chance for life would have been small.
But he recovered himself, and was swept by
the current through the rollers, and once
more stood erect. When be finally enteredthe
pool between the rapids he wa thoroughly
exhausted, but be was safe. He rested for a
moment, aud then struggled towards the
shore, landing amid the applause OF the spec
tators JUST after the whistles blew l O'Clock.
