NORWICH. May ga lively 14-year-old lad
named Jones OF the country town of Preston
had an experience the other day, the memory
OF which will abide with him. In the rear OF
his homo. near the Shotueket River Is a very
deep well. the curbinG OF which is OF seamless
sections OF big drain tito smoothly doyetailed
together. In leaning over the we'll curb to re-
cover hisjack knife, which had fallen on tho
edge OF the we'll, lie lost his balance and, like
plummet. plunged head first down the dark
cylinder. 1t is forty-nve feet to the water and
fourteen feet farther to the bottom.
The boy caught the well rope. broke it, and
boy and rope went 10 the bottom in an instant.
Then he came to the surface. and, being an ex-
pert swimmer. easily kept himself aloat lie
called for help, but evidently his voice barely
scared to the surface OF tho earth. He swan
around the sides OF his perpendicular prison
few times and tho desperate nature OF his con-
diton was apparent But he was plucky. II
he kept on swimming long no reasoned, he
would soon DO ey hausted, and sink.
SO he managed to fix his heud Hnd shoulders
against one side OF the we'll and his feet against
Tor several moments lie gazed inward. Tho
tall shaft narrowed like tunnel above and
immensely far awSy;,, The boy deed:
fS to ton maze Of h eo well The 10 well tile is is
very wide but the boy was barefoot. and his
muscular toes and fingers stuck to the smooth
crawl onward. Up he went slowly and without
n slip. until he was within foot or two OF the
shaft. and then suddenly his clutch slipped.
and second time he shot down tho wall go
ing to the bottom.
He came to tho surface of the water quickly.
and after moments rest again began his toll
some upward climb; and again. whom within a
foot OF It's TOP, he lost his hold and plunged
the feat and that timo was successful. He
pulled himself out Of the shaft. stepped over
the well curb and fell breathlesS and OK
haused on the ground. The flesh had been
stripped from his fingers by The cutting grain
OF the drain tile, and his finger nails weTe
worn to the Qucks.
