STEAMER NOTES F. W. Pote, the Belfast
narrow escape from drowning last Thursday
afternoon The steamer City of Bangor was
leaving the dock for Boston and Mr.. Pote was
casting off the stern line, to which the heaving
line, contrary to the usual custom, was still
attached, and becoming entangled in the small
line he was dragged overheard. There was a
heavy swell on and the tide was running
strong, but Mr.. Pote on coming to the surface
after his plunge struck out for the corner Of
the wharf, where he grasped spike in Spite
and held on for dear life. Reports of the &C.
curence in out-of-town papers say he cannot
swim, but an expert swimmer could not have
done better. The accident was seen from the
steamer and her way was stopped and orders
given to lower away lifeboat, but before the
boat reached the spot parties on the wharf had
made the rescue, by means of rope. Mr.. Pote
! ~ ~ f,,11,,

cold and shock. He is now fully recovered.
