4 HARD SWIM
Bv WILLIAM LlTTLEFORD.

XKTHEN l was a college boy of is I
wv lived in Cambridge, near Harvard
college, but every summer, when school
work was over, | went to spend my va
cation with an aunt who lived in lit
lie town on the banks of the MISSISSIPPI
nj, in Tennessee.
1t was during one of these visits that
the incident which L am about to relate
occurred.
The principal amusement during
the summer of the dads in the little
town where my auntresided was swim
ming in the great broad river that near
~ encircled the village, and almost
every boy in the vicinity was an expert
swimmer.
But the best boy swimmers in town
were my cousin, Lewis Atherton, and
his particular chum and crony, Harry
Shaw.
At the time of which l write both
were aged about IA. Lewis was stout,
muscular boy, with a firm, well-set
chin, and cool, determined expression
that never forsook him under any cir
.cumstances.
His friend Harry was more slender,
a young Indian.
AS l said before, Lewis and Harry
were the best boy swimmers in town,
and several times when the day was
fine and the water smooth, they had
sWum across the river, which, at that
point is nearly mile in width; but
they had always had a skiff along in
which to return.
One unusually warm day in late June
we strolled down to the river bank
above the town, and made ready for
swim.
We had just struck out into the cur
trent when we saw, some distance I'D the
river, huge raft of lumber floating
down in midstream; and we decided to
swim to it, rest ourselves a little
while, and then swim back to shore.
The plan was we'll enough laid, but as
Burns says:
''The best-laid schemes O. mice and m en-
gang aft agley."
We reached the raft, and, having
selected some planks on which, to rest
ourselves, lay down to have a chat. We
had been resting perhaps ten minutes,
and Lewis had just proposed starting
10 swim back, when we were startled
by a sort of bump that shook the whole
raft, and, springing up, we found, to our
'd1smay, that the raft had landed on the
Missouri side of the river.
1t was all very we'll to swim the river
as volunteer feat, with skiff along to
take one in if he gave out; but to swim
across as matter of necessity was
quite different thing. ,a
'Well, fellows, how are we going to
get back?" l asked, rather ruefully.
Swim back, Of course" said both. in
one BREATH :.
A fresh breeze had started up, and we
saw that the longer we stayed the less
likely we would be to reach the oppo-
site shore in safety.
1t was evening. The sky had become
overcast and the breeze came in little,
irregular flaws. A storm was evidently
=. coming up, and storms in that region
: sometimes came very rapidly. The
y water out in the current showed now
; and then an ominous white cap, but we
,fearlessly plunged in one after the
other, like three frogs jumping off
log.
The water seemed very cold at first,
but the exercise of swimming soon
drove the chill away, and we felt quite
comfortable. The choppy waves an
,noyed us little, dashing into our faces

TO LOOK AFTER THE HOSPITAL.
Assistant Surgeon General Forward
VIII BE Here To-day.

w III DC mere lO-uAEs
Col. w. II. Forward, assistant surgeon
general of the army is expected to arrive
from Washington to-day. He comes to look
over the preliminary work that is being
done on the hospital. 1t is not known just
how long he will be here on this trip, but
his stay will be until the completion of
the work after 1t has once been begun.
The sewerage of the hospital is a matter
that 1t is thought, is giving the depart
ment at Washington some anxiety. A pro-
file that was erroneous, having been fur
nished the office by an outsider has been
looked over in Washington, and from this
1t was concluded that the grade of the
sewer from the hospital site TO its connec-
ton with the citys system would not be
adequate for the drainage of the build
ings.
A day or two ago telegram was sent
to Capt. j. w. McIIarg, in charge of the
preliminary work, instructing him to make
no expenditures and to involve the govern
ment In no way until something further
could be heard This would have looked
bad and would have seemed TO injure Sa-
vaunah's chances for the big hospital, had
it not been that the profile studied in
Washington was known TO be misleading
and that the grade the sewer will have is
three or four feet greater than that shown
by the paper in possession of the officials
at Washington.
A new profile is now being prepared by
Capt McHarg's office. 1t win show the
eminent practcability of the proper sew
erage of the site. A new arrangement Of
the buildings has also been made so that
IL win not be necessary 10 put any one
OF them on the low ground at the south
east corner of the tract. If any building
at all is put there, it win be one that VIII
not require any drainage. such, for in
stance, as the chapel BY this arrangement
it viii not be necessary to employ a plan
that had been decided upon for the sewers
that would have drained buildings on this
low place. This plan was to run the sew
ers up under the joists, suspending them
from the timbers instead of running them
underground.
1t is believed that the matter of the
sewers need not occasion any uncertainty
as to the location of the hospital at Sa-
vannah. Col. Forward viii at once see the
mistake that was made in the first profile
and viii appreciate the feasibility of secur-
ing a good grade.

MORE ROOM ron ooMMIssARY.
Muj. Ruthers Now Has 1880 square
Feet for stores.

Feet for stores.
The unloading of forty-seven carloads Of
supplies for the depot commissary was
begun yesterday. 1t was delayed for day
or two on account of there being insult
icient storage room. Yesterday, however,
5000 additional square feet were placed at
Mai. Ruthers disposal, the Central Rail-
road having restricted it's own freight de-
pot still more in order to provide the com
missary department with sufficient room.
Partitions were put up by the road, a stan
further evidence of the consideration with
which the government officials have met at
the hands of the railroad officials.
The addition of the 5000 square feet,
gives Maj. Ruthers 33,25O square feet for
storage purposes, not a bit more than he
needs. From floor to ceiling goods are pack
ed. They are stacked up higher, in many
instances, than they should be, as 1t Is
more expensive to pay labor to handle the
goods when they have to be piled so high.
1t is also more trouble and causes a loss
of time.
Hardtack and beans are run up to the
rafters of the depots. When these are out,
however, there will not be so great
need for space, as Maj. Ruthers does not
intend carrying such stock as he now
has on hand. The space they take up
will be used for other things. He has
about stopped the issue of bareback and
beans to the soldiers, as they do not care
for either Small quantities are constant
Iy being sent out, but nothing like as much
as when the commodities are issued regu.
Early.
In addition to the cars now being I'M
loaded Their are about 100000 pounds Of
stores on the way to Savannah from the
contractors who supply the government.
Space will have to be made for the stor-
age Of these when they get here.
The depot has been sending out stores
rather fast during the last few days. Is
sues are being made to the commlssary Of
fiers Of the Seventh Corps and transports,
as they arrive. are having lot of goods
put aboard. Maj Ruthers and his force
OF clerks are kept busy.
A visitor 20 the depot is impressed with
the great quantity of stores of all sorts to
be seen. Thousands Of sacks of flour are
solidly stacked as high as the rafters, and
other stores are in proportion. All that IS
to be found in a grocery store is under
charge of Maj. Ruthers in the depot.
