The story Of the battle in which they
engaged has only just come to light.

The story of the battle in which they
engaged has only just come to light.
Bad blood had existed between
these two sons of toll and they con.
cluded to settle their differences. Both
were fine specimens Of that type OF
hardy manhood which Is employed in
loading and unloading the great ocean
liners-men who usually settle their
troubles at flsticuffs, which fact makes
this incident all the more startling
and interesting.
One night they went down upon the
New York & New england docks at
South Boston, and, removing their
clothing, they plunged into the wa.
ters at South bay and proceeded to
drown each other. They battled for
at least twenty minutes, during which
time the results were about even,
when suddenly one seized the other by
the neck and began to strangle him.
At the same time both sank beneath
the surface. How many feet they went
down is not to be recorded, but the
stranger, becoming exhausted, rose
to the surface. A moment later the
apparently iifeless body of his adver.
sary made its appearance.
In the dim lights cast upon the wa.
ters by the distant electric lamps the
victor realized that his deadly work
was accomplished, the strife at an
end. Thoughts Of arrest for murder,
the electric chair, crowded upon his
mind and his almost benumbed senses
were quickened. He grasped his vic.
tim and shouted Justify for assistance.
A party returning in a catboat after
a pleasant days outing in the harbor
heard his cries and reached both men
Just in the nick of time. They were
taken into the boat and after artifi.
cial respiration had been applied for
time they were restored to conscious.
ness. After bracer or two of brandy
they were put ashore at the public
landing on Long wharf and arm in
arm started for their homes.
A small paragraph appeared in the
morning papers which stated that two
men were rescued by yachting party
and cared for until they were able to
go home.
But there had been q duel in the
dark waters of Boston harbor "the
night before the Fourth" He who
would have been murderer became
a life saver; his magnanimity has
been recognized by the man who
might have left him to his fate had
he been as successful in that terrible
conflict as the other, and now both
VOW eternal friendship.
