years have passed since the whirlpool
rapids Of Niagara have been conquered
by a human being in barrel boat, and

it for newcomers to the fails.
Leach started from the old Maid of the
Mist landing. towed by boat. at $3.50
o'clock. At S:57 he was plunging over
the frst wave of the rapids. and the next
minute was shooting over the giant
combers that crowd themselves between
the narrow banks Of the gorge.
Like lightning he was shot through
the rough rapids and out onto the bot

1t will be recalled that the last to make
