NARROW ESCAPE OF BOYS.

Keith Carlin, son of Mr.. G. @. Csrlin,
and two companions, Emmett Rlner aud
Willis Washington, also of this city, had
a narrow escape from drowning in the
Potomac river late Saturday afternoon.
The boat in which they were rowing was
run down by barge in tow Of the tug
boat Rosalie, Capt. M. Kersey, but Car
lin and Washington saved themselves
by jumping onto the barge, and Riner
was picked up by Policeman Pssseno OF
the Washington hsrbOr precinct after he
had been held under the water as the
barge passed over him. Following their
rescue the boys we're taken aboard the
Washington police boat Yigilsnt, in
charge OF Sergt. Dean, and we're con-
veyed to wharf in this city. Capt.
Kersey Immediately stopped his tug and
started back with it to give assistance, II
necessary, but upon seeing tbs boys had
been put aboard the Vigilsnt he again
took up the tow and continued down the
river. In the swamping of the rowbost
all the clothing of the three boys was
thrown into the water, and for some
time the harbor police boat seached for
the missing articles. Finally all their
clothes except one shoe and the watches
and money belonging to the boys we're
picked up.
