IL was in seeking one of these that he came so near losing his life. This friend is employed on one of the boats lying at the wharf which had made Fast to another boat. so that Fields had to step from the one to the other. In doing so. Fields either miscalCulated the distance or his foot slipped and he fell into the river As the space be tween the boats was too narrow to permit of him striking out with his hands. it looked as though he could not reach the open water and must be drawn under by the strong under tow He kept up the battle for life for fully twenty minutes. and just as he became exhausted and was about to sink. two river men succeeded in reaching him with a rope and pulled him ashore.
