ANACORTES. May Is.-AIee-r Bacon.

miles above Marolemount- A. H Man
ming. J. E West and j. W. Jackson. Se-
/ sstie prospectors. had engaged Bacon TO
set them across the river in hts canoe.
The river was very high and the current
swift. so IL was decided TO make two
trsps.
Manning had been safely landed on the
opposite bank and the second canoe load
was about half way across the river when
Bacon called:
Low down in the canoe. boys. and pun
for your nvesr'
The heavily loaded canoe had bean
forced too far down stream. and was
making towards one OF the many danger
Gus swirIs which make the Upper Skagit
river such danger to canoemen. Bacon.
who was considered as safe with a canoe
as with an on team. was quick 70 see the
danger and sounded the warning. but
even the Hercuiean efforts OF the three
men could not keep the canoe from being
drawn into the swirl and 1t capsixed
about fifty feet from the bank.
Manning was poweriess 10 render as
sis'ance. and had to stand by and watch
the EFFORTS Of the men TO save themselves
Pie says that Bacon was drawn close to
shore and could easily have reached H.
but evidently fearing for the safety of
the others, turned and swan back to the
canoe West and Jackson had managed
10 cling TO the canoe although Jackson
once passed under the canoe and out OF
sight. Finally all three men had hold
OF the canoe.
Bacon started to raise himself w. the
canoe slightly sank beneath his weight
and this seemed to bewilder the man. who
again turned and started for shore All
knew that West could not swim, and he
was their greatest anxiety but he soon
climbed up on the canoe. while Jackson
was carried against rock and was as
sisted TO shore by Manning pulling him in
by means of pole. West padded first
with his hands and later. when the paddle
drffted within reach. then with that ar
ticle. and also by the aid of a pole passed
to him. reached shore also.
But Bacon was probably caught with
cramps and sank when only a few feet
from shore. He held paddle In his hand
as he went down. and the eye witnesses
say that this paddle sank slowly inch by
inch, until finally lost 10 view. and then.
evidently as Bacon's grasp loosened the
paddle suddenly reappeared above the sur
face.
Albert Bacon was about Al years old.
and came from Maine. He left a widow
and three children, who live on the farm
near Marblemount, and also brother,
Hugh Bacon. living near Marblemount.
and a sister. Mrs. Frank Agar. formerly
a resident OF Seattle. but now of Spokane
He was one OF the best canoemen on the
river and was universally respected.
