GOES Through WHIRl- !
POOL RAPIDS AND LIVES.
Capt, Larsen in Motor Boat Makes 4
Passage--Boat Is Abandoned Near
LeWiston--He TTif|eS with Death
But Says He Will Try Again.

Niagara Falls, N. Y, Sept 49,
Captain Clause Larsen, in his little
motor boat, the Ferro, made a sue
cessful trip today from the foot of
the cataract through the whirlpool
rapids to within mile of Lewiston, a
distance of Az miles. He started
from the Maid of the Mist dock at
4.45 and ran on a rock near the
American shore at $50.
Despite the battering in the whirl-
pool rapids, Larsen went through
safely, but his boat was leaking badly
at the finish and throughout the trip.
Larsen had intended to start at 2.30
o'clock, but he was delayed by engine
trouble. Besides, the authorities
threatened to interfere on the ground
OF attempted suicide.
The Ferro swung under the cantil-
ever bridge, the engine running at
top speed and was caught in the swift
drift leading to whirlpool rapids. Lar
sen held to the middle of the channel
and in less than three minutes had
made the great pool. In the trip
through the rapids the little boat was
lost to sight most of the time, but at
Great Wave it was shot 20 feet out
of the water The boat landed right
and continued to the pool.
Larsen kept to the outer edge OF
the pool and passed out and down
without accident. Just as he lett the
pool, the engine stopped working ana
Larsen was at the mercy of the waters
hardly less violent than those above.
The little boat swung around stern
first and then turned completely over.
Larsen came up badly battered, and
with his leg injured.
From now on Larsen was the playthinS
of the mighty river, unable to hold the

This seems to have been the actual
,ssult of Sagadahoc county's election
"a sheriff last Monday, although tho
,.tu,ns as published last Tuesday
morning and generally accepted gave
George c. Pease of Phippsburg, the
nmocratic candidate, 1916 votes and
yobn w. Ballou, the Republican can
ddate and present incumbent, 1920, a
majority of rs votes for Mr.. Pease.
The difference is due to an error in
the published returns from the town of
powdoin which was pointed out to the
Times Saturday by Hon. Frank s..
Adams of that town, the Sagadahoc
member of tine Republican State COM
mittee. The returns from Bowdoin for
sheriff as recorded in the town rec
ords. show 1913 votes for Ballou and Sc
votes for Pease, instead of the IS votes
credited for Ballou and 81 for Pease in
the published returns.
Mr.. Adams statement was later Yer.
flied by the Times in a conversation by
telephone with an employee of 3. d.
Coombs, the clerk of the town of Bow
doin. Mr.. Coombs himself has been in
Boston since election day. Saturday
in response to the inquiry of the Times,
his clerk read from the signed report
of Mr.. Coombs the same shrievalty fig
ures which were brought to Bath by
Mr. Adams. which seems to clinch the
matter beyond a shadow of a doubt.
In addition to the error in the pub
lished returns from BOwdoin, Mr..
Pease was credited with two more
votes than he actually received In
Bath, while in Topsham Mr.. Pease got
five more votes than the published re-
turns gave him. Making all the correc-
tons. therefore. the vote for sheriff
in the county, as officially returned by
the town clerks, stands as follows:

There are many desirable things
