DROWNED IN THE RAPIDS.

August Sporer, an lS year old boy oil
Niagara Falls, went TO his death yester-
day in the whirlpool rapids after gal
liant battle with the giant waves between
the lower bridges and the pool.
With three companions Sporer went
for a swim In the river at the former
Maid Of the Mist lsndi5g. He struck
out at once for the middle OF The stream
and then turned toward the bridges. His
companions called to him to turn back,
for the current is very swift at that
point, bat he kept on down stream and
was caught in The great sweep, the frat
break from The smoother waters TO the
rapids.
The boy struggled for time against
the current, bat to no avail. Then, TT
alizing that he was beyond human help
and IVES 10 be carried through the rapids,
which took the life Of Capt Webb and
which have resisted every unaided human
effort at passage, he deliberately turned
down stream and began a grim Eight for
life.
Not in all the history OF The river has
such brave effort been witnessed. Al
though but lTsil boy, he went into the
rapids swimming strongly, ADD held bis
own until he struck the giant wave
which curls up opposite The Old Biitery
elevator. Then ne went under ADD for
a second was lost to sight to the score OF
people who stood on the lower arch
bridge.
Again and again he disappeared, only
to resppesr, each time fighting des-
perately sgsiust the terrible current.
Then, when within 300 yards OF the
Shirlpool, his strength gave out aud he
sank and wss lost to view.
Even then he had swum perhaps 100
yards farther than did the great EGG
lish swimmer, Capt. Webb.
The body could be seen In the whirl-
pool last night. River men are waiting
