Daring Deed of william Ellis at
Niagara Bridge.

Niagara br1O8e.
The recent death of William Ellis of
Niagara Falls recalls one of the most
daring deer1s in the annals of the
mighty cataract. In 1913 Ellis saved
four men from a terrible death. 1t
was at the time when the first bridge
was being thrown across the Niagara
on the side of the lower steel arch,
where the famous railway suspension
bridge stood for many years. COnnec-
ton had been made between the
mighty cliffs, and the engineers and the
workmen under them had drawn over
cables, on which they had erected
crude platforms.
There were two of these, and one
afternoon when several men were far
out on these platforms working on
the structure terrible tornado swept
down the gorge.
The men near the cliffs FASTENED to
shore, but far out toward the center
the wind had swung one of the plat
forms across the other. Some pOr-
tons were torn away, and beyond the
open spaces hung four men, swinging

er, expecting every minute that they
would be torn from their hold and
drop to death on the rocks far below
or fall victims of the mighty flood that
at this point pours into the whirlpool
rapids at almost fifty miles an hour.
Judge T. G. Hulett Niagara's grand
old man, was one Of the engineers. He
ho bo ,,,t ,,o
bles were to be saved the rescue must
be speedy. He called for some man to
volunteer to go out in the old iron bas-
ket now in the possession of the Buff
falo Historical society, to try to res
cue the men.
All were anxious to have the men
saved, but the majority dreaded going
far out from the cliffs on the cables,
which might any moment be torn from
their anchOrages and dropped into the
chaSm. But there was one man whO
despite the danger, stepped forward.
That man was William Ellis.
"Will you so, Bill?' asked Engineer
Hulett
Ellis simply bowed his head and
made his way to the basket He was
given short ladder, and as he was let
out from the bank he was cautioned to
take only one man in at time
Down the slender cable way the bas-
ket sped. The wind roared and the
rain seemed trying to drown the men
who stood about. Out, farther out, well
nigh toward the center, the old iron
basket shot. To the man farthest out
Mr.. Ellis directed his way.
When he approached the place where
the man was hanging. he stretched out
the ladder, and the man slid into the
basket, which was hauled toward the
bank. But Mr. Ellis did not pass the
other men, Notwithstanding he had
been told to rescue one at a time, they
all begged so hard that he had not the
heart to let them stay there minute
longer than possible, so that when the
basket was again pulled toward the
shore it contained five men, four of
