Rocky Point.

Reuben Hammond, about IS years of
age, made an unsuccessful attempt to
commit suicide about o'clock, this
morning. by jumping overheard from the
tug boat Coastwise, on which he was

the two barges had reached point just
below Rocky Point.
There the chief engineer jumped over
board, and was floating rapidly out of
sight when Mate Rickert, who had heard
the splash, investigated, and saw the
,man near the first barge.
Rickert procured help at once.a and ran
TO the second barge, where, with the aid
OF one of the deck hands, the barge's boat
was lowered 80
After considerable trouble. Hammond
was pulled into the small boat, and ar
ter a protracted struggle, he was taken
aboard the second barge. the John c.

forts of four men to hold him.
