the rapids, which took TIE life Of Cap
tain Webb, and which have resisted
every unaided human effort at passage,
he deliberately turned down stream
and began a grim fight for life.
Not ii all tho history Of the river
has such a brave battle been witnessed.
Although but frail boy, Sporer went
into the rapids swimming strongly and
held his own until he struck the giant
wave which ciwls up opposite the old
Battery elevator. Then he went under
and for second was lost to sight Of
the score Of people who stood on the
lower arch bridge
Again aud again he disappeared, only
to reappear each time. fighting desper
ately against the terrible current, but
when within 500 yards Of the whirlpool

and was lost to view.
