The boy struggled for time against
the current, but to no avail. Then. re-
alizing that he was beyond human
help and was to 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 fight for life.
Not in all the history of the river
has such a brave effort been wit
messed. Although but frail boy he
held his own until he struck the giant
wave. which curls up opposite the old
Battery elevator. Then he went un-
der and for a second was lost to sight
of the score of people who stood on
the lower arch bridge.
Again and again he disappeared,
only to reappear. each time fighting
desperately against the terrible cur
rent. Then. when within 900 yards
of the whirlpool his strength gave out
and he sank and was lost to view.
Even then he had gone perhaps 100
yards farther than did the great Eng
lish swimmer, Capt. Webb.
The body can now be seen in the
whirlpool. where rivermen are wait
