THROUGH THE RAPIDS.
Man In Barrel Braves the whirlpool

Man In Barrel Braves the Whirlpool
of Niagara.
Bobby Leach, of Niagara Falls, Ont,
made a trip through the Whirlpool
rapids in a barrel, starting from the
Maid of the Mist, landing near the
Cantilever bridge. Except for few
scratches and bruises, Leach, who
claims to have made the trip several
times before, was uninjured.
Leach entered the rapids at 1857,
and went through them in three min
utes. riding the tremendous waves
smoothly. The great wave caught the
barrel and hurled 1t clear of the wa
ter, but it righted itself nicely and
went on to the Whirlpool without mis-
hap. Five times the barrel circled
the whirlpool, keeping to the outer
edge. At the south end of the pool 1t
was caught in an inshore eddy and
fioated in close enough to be caught
with a pole at sos.
The only one Of the barrel navIga-
tors to be killed in the trip to the
Whirlpool was Maud Willard, who suf.
located in her barrel In September,
1901. She was in the whirlpool for
five hours.
