cries for help, Il am drowning." is
sued from the river just opposite what
is known as the Point, near the Fuller
Bros. foundry.
It seems that man named Turner
from Waterville had arrived in the
city and attempted to cross the river
fer the log houses in duck float made
of canvass. The boat had long been on
land and consequently leaked badly.
However, Mr.. Turner put out from
shore and when about in the channel
the boat filled and turned turtle. Mr..
Turner with baggage was thrown into
the river. With clothes all on and on
ly half clinging to the boat which in
time would itself sink, shouted for
help.
His cries were heard and boats from
all quarters put out to aid the man.
Charles Grady reached him first just
as he was sinking and Immediately
took him to the house RATS, where ev-
erything was done for his comfort.
1t seems that Mr.. Turner had been
engag ed to work on the logs at the
Sawyer houses and was trying to get
to them.
Mr.. Grady was highly commended
for quickness and ability in handling
his boat in so fine a manner. Mr.. Tur-
ner lost all his baggage and the coat
which he had managed to rid himself
