On the afternoon of June /, 1872, an
old painter named William McCul.
Tough while painting the bridge above
Niagara falls between the first and
second Sister islands fell into the rap
ids. Instantly he was swept furiously
toward the cataract, but whirled into
lesser waves, so that he struck against
and seized rock not far above the
brink.
Hundreds quickly gathered on the
shore and watched, all eager to help,
but ignorant what to do. Among them
was Thomas Cohroy, who secured a
coil Of rope fastened one end to tree
on shore and with the other end in his
hand waded out as far as he could and
occasionally swan, the water being
from eighteen inches to six feet deep
He aimed far up stream to allow for
the power of the current and at last
with great difficulty reached the unfor-
tunate painter and bound him to him
self with the rope. They were swept
off their feet several times on the way
back to shore, but the rope had been
firmly fastened, and they finally landed
safely.
When they reached shore it was
found that Mccullough still clutched
his putty knife firmly in his hand, hay
ing held it during the three hours he
had been on the brink of the falls.
