Canaller to the Rescue.

Francis Daley, William Edwards
and James Forrest, boys OF twelve.
were standing on what is known as
Change Bridge" over the Morris
Canal at Centreville, when boat
passed slowly under. The boys ran
from one side to the other of the
bridge to see the nose of the boat APP
pear beneath them They came with
such force against the hand rail of
the bridge that it gave way. Daley
and Edwards fell into the water and
Forrest struck the deck of the boat,
breaking his shoulder. George Rob-
bins, who was driving the mules of
the canalboat, halted them and
jumped into the water, caught Daley
and brought him out on the towpath.
Robbins then returned to the water
for Edwards, but the boy was out of
sight. Robbins dived several times,
but did not find Edwards. Daley is a
good swimmer, but was dazed by the
fall into the water He recovered his
nerve and dived, found Edwards and
brought him to the surface. Rob-
bins took hold of the boy and brought
him to the canal bank and resusci-
tated him Meanwhile Robbins
mother, who was steering the boat,
had worked some time over Forrest
before reviving him.

fore he could extricate himself he was

heads above the sand, but it was with
difficulty they were extricated BY

with the aid of ropes the animal was
pulled out, nearly dead. But the res
