SWAN FOR HIS LIFE.

John T. sullivan's Remarkable Escape
From Drowning in the Bay.
John T. Sullivan, the shoe-dealer, met
with serious mishap while out rowing in
his wherry the other day, and if it were
not for his remarkable physical endurance
he would surely have gone to a watery
grave.
He was just returning from spin up to
Hunters Point, and when half wav be-
tween the point and the California Sugar
Refinery. while taking stroke, he missed
water with one oar, and losing his balance
was precipitated into the water.
The boat still maintained its upright
position, but being a very frail built craft
Mr.. Sullivan could not re-enter it without
swamping it.
When the accident occurred he was
mile out from land, and unfortunately no
one was near to render assistance. He was
lncumbered with heavy sweater and
shoes and before he struck out for shore
he undertook to remove them.
Being an expert swimmer it was an easy
matter to get his shoes off. but when it
came to the sweater the task almost fin
ished him. He was under water half the
time in getting the thing off, only coming
to the surface when completely out of
breath. Once he had the sweater nearly
OFF when it became entangled in some
manner and almost smothered him, but
by superhuman effort while under
water he managed to free himself of the
lncum mbrance, and coming to the surface
struck boldly out, towing his valueble boat
along with him.
He was just one hour and a half reaching
terra tlrrna, during all of which time he
had been struggling in the water that
was both cold and very rough. He landed
at a point midway between the rope-walks
and Butchertown, and after starting circu-
iatlon in his benumb bed anatomy, he got
into his wherry and rowed to the Pioneer
boathouse, where his craft is kept.
Outside of slight cold, which he con-
tracted through the experience, he was
none the worse for his little mishap.
and was out rowing as usual yesterday.
Mr.. Sullivan is well-known in sporting
circles, being prominent member of the
Olympic Club and Pioneer Boat Club. He
is remarkably fine oarsman, having held
the amateur championship of the coast in
the single-scull for number of years.

The new building will be erected on the

Rev. Phillip Coombe came to San Fran
cisco in the early part of 1893, and in the
December following organized the Rich
mond Congregational Church. At first he
had to battle with great odds. but with
true Christian fortitude he struggled on,
his efforts finally eliminating in brilliant
success when only dismal failure had been
predicted.

beginning, gradually increased with each

Watt, who declared that San Francisco
should have the National convention in
1897, and if not then in 1898. "When the
City Fathers heard this they Immediately
raised the angel on the City Hall dome.

the convention is held here the angel will

San Francisco to his idea occupied the
center of things. Through its Golden Gate
came in representatives of the Orient and
through them went missionaries to all
parts of the world. The cosmopolitan
character of the City, with 10000 Italians
and 10000 Chinese, was next spoken of as
being one of the peculiarities of this City.
The speaker called upon his hearers to
advocate Christian citizenship, the old
Christian Sabbath of New England; the
reading of the Bible in the school and to
denounce the saloon element.
"Nearer, My God, to Thee" by the
Plymouth Congregational Choir, and
Sunshine" by the choir and audience,
concluded the meeting.
Immediately afterward Mr.. Shaw gave q
reception in the parlor and was taken by
the hand and cordially welcomed by many
hundreds of Christians.
In conversation the visitor said that he
will visit Los Angeles and San Diego this
week and will reach Sacramento next Sun
day. From that place he will leave for the
East. He said with reference to the con-
vention of 1897 that many Endeavorers in
the East had formed clubs and were pay
ing in SO much q week for the purpose of
providing themselves with funds to make
the trip to San Francisco. He estimated
that 25,000 Endeayorers would visit San
Francisco if the railroad companies would
make reasonable excursion rates.
