 Boy and Bush tried to coax their companion to come up to the sum- mil anj safety, but Wilsoua nerve waa gone. and the two sailors mr- ried back lo the ship via the trail, N.erc they scared stout rope aud two additional men and re,un- ed to the overhanging rock The rescue party lowered one of their number over Che side Of the cliff and oftcr he had made fast to Wil- son, gave the signal to haul away It was after midnight when the whole party arrived on board their snp. Wilson having spent over seven hoIrs m cllngius on to the side Of the mountain He says that he would prefer going aIof in a gale of wind than to agam attempt mountain climbing.

the zee boat racing at Maletts bay
brought out a large crowd Tuesday and
the sport was good, but one accident
marred the success of the day. John
Devlin, the horseman, had leg broken
when an ice boat suddenly swerved into
crowd of spectators. Of which he was
one. Devlin was standing near the edge
of the crowd when the Lemon. driven by
Frank Seymour. was brought up into the
wind before starting. A sudden gust
drove it at high rate of speed into the
crowd and several were knocked over
but all escaped without serious injury
except Devlin. who fell directly in the
boats path. He was picked UP and car
ried to the Mary Fletcher hospital as soon
as possible and the fracture was reduced
that evening. The big race was wone by
the Scrap Heap, homemade affair
which didn't look like a prize winner but
which without doubt has got the goods
and which was picked by the knowing
ones several days ago The Eagle came
in second and the Minnehaha finished
third, with a long string behind her. The
latter boat was damaged in an accident
several days ago and her bowsprit was
not true, so that lots of wind escaped her.
Had it not been for this she would have
done much better, in the opinion of the
ice boat racers.
