the two lower bridges and the pool.
With three companions. Sporer

He struck out at once for the middle

ward the bridges. 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 Captain Webb and which have
resisted every unaided human effort
to pass. he deliberately turned down
stream and began a grim fight for
life.
Not in all history OF the river has
such a brave effort been witnessed.
Although but frail boy, he went
into the rapids. swimming strongly.
and held his own until he struck a
giant wave which curls up opposite
the old battery elevator. Then, he
went under and for second was
lost to the sight of the score OF per-
sons who stood on the lower arch
bridge. Again and again he dis
apneared only to re-appear each time
fighting desperately against the ter
rible current. Then. when within

strength gave out and he sank ard
