port, r. l., an incident occurred that
created considerable laughter. Pat
Mcclure, small, good-natured
lrishman, was hurrying down the
street to the wharf, when he met a
few friends, who talked with him
until the boat was about to start.
Pat ran down the street, and as he
reached the wharf, the boat was
pulling out into the stream. Not
intending to get left, he made a
jump, just cleared the rail, and,
landing heavily on his head, was
rendered unconscious for few
minutes.
When he recovered he stood up,
looked back at the wharf, and ex-
claimed: "Jabez! What a lapel"
