CAUGHT IN SSulIRl OF
NEW YORK SEWERS
Man Is Swept For Nearly a
Mile Under City.
HAS MOST MIRACULOUS ESCAPE

Edward Boyle, Plumber, Has Adven.
ture Like That of Victor Huao's
Jean Nai Jean In Labyrinth by
Which Paris Streets are Drained.
New York, March 14.-Edward
Boyle, plumbers helper, is the hero
OF a trip through the sewers of New
York which rivals in interest ana dan,
ger the Wanderings 0f Victor Hugo's
Jean Val Jean through the labyrinth
by which the streets OF Paris are
drained. For three-quarters of a mile
he was swept helpless through the
dark by rush Of water running like
mill race. Overhead the rattle and
roar OF the busy streets went on. At
last he was thrown, Gazed and beWil-
dered, from the mouth of the sewer
into the East river. Men on a scow
mO0red near by hauled him out and
brought him to land again.
For a time he could not speak. for
the shock of his terrible experience
had paralyzed his nerves. Then, while
the little crowd that had gathered
about him still were asking where ne
had come from he found his tongue
and asked for q smoke Half an hour
later he had refused the assistance of
the ambulance surgeon who had been
summoned and had started on his way
home, seemingly none the worse for
his strange adventure.
Boyle is employed by a plumber who
has the contract for keeping in order
the sewer which runs through East
Twenty-third street and empties into
the East river There had been some
trouble with the drains at number 252
and Boyle was sent with two other
men to remove the obstruction.
Immediately opposite the house is
manhole Of the main sewer and the
men decided to start their examination
there. A ladder was lowered into the
sewer and Boyle, with guide rope
dangling ready to his hand, went down
first. He had almost reached the bot
tom when a rung broke and he lost his
balance. He screamed as he grab
bed at the rope and his companions
bent over in time to see him miss it
and disappear with a splash
Boyle said the water was rushing
through the sewer at a terrific speed.
1t was three or four feet deep. He
could feel the bottom, but could not
keep on his feet.
The Fifty-third street sewer runs in
to the main drain at Second avenue.
There the volume of water and filth
was greatly increased and Boyle mar.
rowly escaped drowning. He was hurl-
ed about, but managed to keep his
head above water, and after a few mo-
ments more, which, he says, seemed
like hours, he saw the light at the end
OF the drain. He was hurled head
foremost into the river and struck out
for scOW which lay nearby
