OF tidal wave than the swell from a
steamer. Il is said that Clarence was

Of being rocked IN the cradle OF the
deep when he suddenly found himself
beneath his boat on the high, dry
ground. At this stage Of the river steam

running their boats at full speed past
houses, barns, wharyes and other prop
erty."
