DROWNED IN
NIAGARA RAPIDS
Youth Loses Life After a Brave
Struggle In Whirlpool.
FAILED TO HEED WARNING CRY

August sporer Had Gone In Swimming
Above the Rapids and Was Caught
In the Swift Current Where Cap.
tain Webb, the English Swimmer,
Lost His Life.
August Sporer, an eighteen-year-old
boy, Of Niagara Falls. N. Y, went to
his death in the Niagara whirlpool
rapids. after a gallant 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 landing. He struck
out at once for the middle of the
stream and then turned toward the
bridge. His companions called to him
to turn back, for the current Is very
swift at that point. but he kept on
down stream and was caught in the
great sweep. the first break from the
smoother waters to the rapids.
The boy struggled for a time against
the current. but to no avail. Then,
realizing that he was beyond human
help and was to be carried through
the rapids, which took the life Of Car
tain Webb. and which have resisted
every unaided human effort at pass
age 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 witness
ed. Although but a frail boy. he went
into the rapids, swimming strongly. |
and held his own until he struck the
giant wave which curls up opposite
the old battery elevator. Then he
went under, and for a second was lost
to sight of the score Of people who I
stood on the lower arch bridge
Again and again he disappeared, only
to reappear. each time fighting desper- .
ately against the terrible current.
Then. when within 300 yards of the
whirlpool. his strength gave out and
ne sank and was lost to view Even
then he had swan perhaps 100 yards /
farther than did the great English
swimmer. Captain Webb.
