had been playing in the boat at
wharf just above the bridge when the
craft got detached from its mornings,
and was carried by the high wind into
the middle of Quinnipiae river The
boys had no oars and knew nothing
about navigating even a row boat, and
were thoroughly frightened and set up
a great cutlery. Several men rushed
down to the dock and gave them di-
rections to sit down in the boat, as they
were rushing about the craft, ana were
in danger of getting overheard. They
were told to be quite, and they would
soon be rescued. AS the boat drifted
under the drawbridge, some boys fish

a line, but did not succeed. Two boats
set out from the shore, and one of them
reached the shipwreeked young mar
liners before the craft had gone below
the bridge. Quite a number of the peo-.
pie assembled on the bridge to witness
the rescue.
