RODE THE
RAPIDS IN
SAFETY
Charles Edward Percy In His
New Boat Accomplished the
Feat at Niagara.

Nigara Falls. N. Y. Sept s.-Charles
Alexander Percy made his promised trip
through the whirlpool Rapids yesterday
afternoon. Thusands OF people looked on
from the banks and bridges. Percy
rowed out In the river from point above
Old Maid OF the Mist. landing at s;bs
o'clock. and two minutes later he was
In midstream, heading full into the
rapids. AS he approached the bridges
he stood up in the cockpit OF his boat
and with flag In each hand waved to
the crowd Then he quickly retreated
into the rear air compartment. He was
thus concealed when he went under the
bridges.
His boat entered the rapids bow on.
but for the greater part Of the trip rode
sideways. Previous TO the start several
bags OF stone were taken aboard for bal
last Thus the boat was heavily weight
ed, and instead OF riding over the bill
lows OF the rapids II plunged right
through their crests and was frequently
out of sight. The waves dashed against
1t and over It with frightful velocity.
The boat entered the pool at 4;os p.
m, and a minute later Percy appeared
In the cockpit. Then came an intensely
interesting scene as he battled with the
waves and currents in an effort to reach
shore. He was carried about the pool
and sucked down In whirls. but all the
time remained In the open cockpit. he
effected a landing at 4:20 o'clock
Percy's boat Is little smaller than
his other boats have been. This latest
craft has a length of Is feet and beam
, OF 3 feet IL inches. 1t stands feet
inches higher at the ends. and the timber
used in the construction is principally
seven eighths inch white oak. There are
3s ribs, ls on each side. and they are
! ~ inches square. They are set from rve
| to seven inches apart. At each END there
| is an air compartment and these are
| decked with half inch Norway pine and
| then covered with canvas. Ore OF the
| air compartments has q length OF nve
| feet. while the other IL six feet six inches
| long.
1t was In this larger compartment tha'
| Percey concealed himself IN making the
voyage through the roughest part or tht
! river Between the air compartment
there IL an open cockpit 4 feet inche'
long and II inches deep. When the boa
was lowered into the water an oak plul
was driven into one end OF the keel pip
and after the pipe had filled with wate
the other end was similarly plugged
Thus the boat had a water ballast AM
Ia the only boat SO made for rapid voy
ages.
