Culty i got reefs in the Foresaid took Down the Mainsail and furled it then took two turns round the mainmast with the for Sheet which Morphy and Rene held. The boat acted Well when brought close to the wind and shipped Only the Spray and work ing her up to three quarters of a mile off the Shore in the Lee and being Well acquainted with the difficulty of a night Entrance to the boat Harbor i let go the Anchor in three fathoms of water and paid out nearly All the Chain Lurling ouf Foresaid. The boat Rode Well and there was but Little swell this was about 8 . On sunday night 7tb inst. At about 9 . A j mobs Squall struck us with rain the Cabin snapped and we were adrift. Though deeply regretting our proposed night of rest we thought it Only necessary to Deaden her Drift till Daylight when we would head her for the Narrows and w do this we paid out a whole Coil of towing line and some other rope which brought Ber head to Windward and held her Back. In this Way we drifted All night i think about fifteen Miles and at Daylight Morphy said he thought he saw a Shoal ahead Fie had scarcely spoken when our Centre Board struck twice m the trough of the sea and we seemed to be Over the Shoal when the Tow lice caught and jerked the boat violently careening her and tilling Ber with water to the thwarts the rope struck once again breaking it and we were holding on to the Belay ing pins and masts expecting the boat to go Down but we had air tight water tanks partially filled with water for ballast and no Stone ballast and though the boat was Drifting helplessly in the trough of the sea the masts Down nearly to the water we saw that she would float so when the wind abated a Little i Rove a life line from Bow to Stern Aloir her Side fastening it to the Iron stanchion sockets and Morphy and Rene got up on the Side to be ont of the water and i with Aore difficulty got up and lashed myself to life line strongly advising my compan ions to do the same. Rene however had been out of his mind More or less from the time the Chain parted and it was with much difficulty that or. Morphy could keep him holding on and finally had to hold him up with one Arm round him and the other egg the life line. I would have helped by to lash him on but could not reach rom whew i was and the Tea becoming smoother Murphy himself did not see the necessity in his own Case either though i urged him repeatedly to do so and there was plenty of rope for the purpose. I think struggles to keep Kene from falling Over exhausted him a Good Deal for in the fore noon of that Day when the boat gave a lurch Reno slipped from mor Phy 8 Arm aaa went Down without a struggle. This affected or. Morphy very much and i noticed that he began to wander in his mind talking of Regina and Toronto and directing me to dry and pack his clothes As though we had reached port. All this time we had not eaten though there were Provis ions under the forecastle deck and monday night was passed the wind abating. The morning of tuesday was Clear and Bright Ford with warmer Wathor and our clothes began to dry and Hope revived. Still Morphy spoke in a rambling Way and twice slipped of and Wax called Back by me on to the boat but the sea becoming smoother we both tried to sleep lying along the Side of the boat and from one of those fitful naps i was awakened by a splash and to my horror it wa3 my poor companion who had slipped off again. I made a clutch at him striking the tip of his sinking Bead and nearly fell in myself but it waa too late and he Sank to Rise no Here the narrator seemed deeply affected and explained that they had become the Beav of friends which Bond won rendered closer in conductor Woods Ufa saved in a Way that Seema almost miraculous. One Hundred feet in the air with Tho Falls roaring beneath him and a Treavy train rumbling above him was the Posi Tion in which William Woods a conductor on. The j., m. And i. Railroad found him Lief Friday at Midnight. Yet by a Mira Cle his life was saved. Or. Woods had charge of the Bridge freight train which hauls the loaded cars from this City to the Jeffersonville Yards on the Way to their Northern destination. On Friday night his train consisted of about thirty cars drawn by a Mogul engine. were two brakeman besides himself and at Midnight the Start was made. Woods was at Tho front end of the car next to the engine and was climbing Down the ladder to step on the tender. Before he gained a foothold however the ladder which was an old one gave Way beneath the weight upon it. Tike a Flash he disappeared Between the cars and fell through the narrow Cross ties of the Bridge. Fortunately he succeeded in grasping with both hands a projecting Iron bar to which he Hung while the train passed Over him. Or. Woods is not a Strong Man and be fore half of the train was Over his strength was nearly exhausted. He called lonely for assistance but the Roar of the Falls and the rumbling of the train drowned his cries and it is doubtful if a Man passing on the Footway could have heard him. Sev eral times he was on the Point of releasing his old and had he done so his body would Hare been dashed to pieces on the rocks below. But Tho thought of his wife and children at Home he says imbued him with additional strength at the critical moment and to managed to hold on. When the last car had passed his arms were stiffened and almost numb. Besides he was so weak that he could not draw himself up Between the ties and it seemed As if he had Only escaped death under the wheels to meet an equally horrible fall upon the rocks. Just As he had resigned himself to his Fate and his stiffened fingers were slipping from the Iron bar to which he held there was a Footfall on the Pine boards above him. Several glimmering lights appeared and a moment later he was lifted to the top by Strong hands. The other trainmen it appears had missed him soon after the a client and five minutes later they had stopped the train and began searching along the track for him. He probably Hung there ten minutes before t icy discovered him and had they not Clono so just at the moment they did he would probably have never been found. The bracing air soon restored him and he was Able to walk Back to the courier journal. Printing sacks in colours a specially.
