perience, Daniel Delaney, shipping clerk for

Delaney was hurled by misstep from the north
abutment of the State-st. bascule bridge into
35-foot concrete lined pit that forms part Of the
sub-structure. and had fought for almost hour
In irnpenetrable darkness against death by drown

weight that all but fills the pit in its descent.
When Delaney reached the river on his way to
work the blocking of vessels in the river at Sae-st

minutes Delaney stepped under the street bar
rier and looking down the river took misstep
and fell to the ledge nine feet below from which
he slid to the brink of the pit underneath the
northwest approach OF the bridge. The ledge first
encountered covered by several inches of
slush and drippings from the bridge, and Delaney
was shot down into the pool of water rising to a
height Of almost six feet alongside the counter
weight, which now rested on the floor of the pit,
filling it save for narrow into which the
man had fallen.
Immersed In icy water almost to his lps. De-
laney felt the ffteen-ton weight brush slowly
past him as the bridge lowered His shouts
for help were muffled by the roof of metal and
wood which had closed about him. and he sought
In vain a foothold in the lowered pool of water

Then Delaney lost his bearings and was unable
TO locate the corner into which he had fallen the
only spot that the weight would not occupy
AS the moments passed and answer to his
shouts was heard he realized that the weight
when it next descended would crush his life out.
Forty minutes after the bridge had been lowered
a man named Patrick Cunningham reached the
structure and heard faint cry for help. Believ-
ing some person had fallen into the river he called
IN the bridge tenders.
