deck hand, almost exhausted from his
long and exciting swim, managed to
get aboard the steamboat. As the
gangplank slid into the water, the
ropes about the animals neck were
reinforced by several stout cables.
These cables were fastened to a
steam winch on the deck. At a given
signal the engines were started and
the snorting, kicking bull was drag
ged up the gangplank on to the deck
where the deck hands bounced upon
him and tied him with dozen ropes.

sued the deck hand, who fortunately
was a good swimmer. The rowboat
went after the bull, and the steamboat
naturally trailed along behind. It
was lucky for the deck hand in the
river that the men in the boat over
took the bull before it overlook him.
The steamboat was the Major Rey-
bold, which makes daily trips between
this city and Salem; N. j., and it
started its journey up the river with
the steer, the rowboat and the deck
hand aboard. The bull was on the
freight deck, with several stout haw-
sers about his horns and legs. Whether
the animal suffered from the heat or
disliked the prospect of leaving the

The bull charged across the deck
and the deck hands scattered. They
hid behind the water barrels and
mounds of merchandise on the deck.
The steer advanced toward them, and
the deck hands jumped to their feet
and beat it to the engine room. They
had barely time to slam the door" in
the animals nose. One of the deck
hands was unable to reach the engine
room. He started to run across the
deck. The bull saw him and followed.
The frightened deck hand saw the
bull at his heels, so without hesitating
he dived over: the side of the vessel
into the river. The bull kept right on
after the man into the river. Fortu-
nately the deck hand was a good
swimmer, and he started up the river
with the tide. The mad steer kept
going, too.
The Maj. Reybold slowed up and
followed slowly after the man and the
bull. The captain saw that the ami
NAL was gaining so he ordered six of
the crew into rowboat to overtake
the bull. The men soon had the boat
in the river and they went after the
bull, rowing forty strokes minute.
At the end of the quarter mile, the
deck hand was about ten yards ahead
OF the bull, which led the rowboat by
