'Soto the water, and arrived at the spot just in time to preserve him I • from a watery grave. •On being somewhat recovered, • he confessed that tic had come from a coffee• house in the neighbourhood, where be had passed the night and some preceding days, with a fixed determination to.put a period to hit existence.
