noyance to the legal practitioners.

cluded Mrs. Cellars,- Miss Gertrude Pol
Ivka, Miss Martha Poilvka and Miss Ma
bel Ayers and Miss Rothschild, all of

The strong undertow had dragged the
ladles Into - the crab-pool which extends
ta the mouth of the Necanlcum River
where the water was up to their necks,
and each receding wave, together with
the shifting Band under toot, made their
position a precarious one. As they were
about to be overcome by exhaustion Mr.
Rothschild sprang Into the water, and
With the help of Qui Kinney managed to
pull them out. It was then that the ser
vices of Miss Eborall. who Happened1 to
be near by proved feo' invaluable, for Mrs.
ceiars Became unconscious. For 20 min
utes she Worked with Mrs. Cellars and
her efforts were -crowned with success.

While arranging the box preparatory to
its being drawn up, the rope la some
way formed a loop aroifhd one of the
men's ankles and ha went up into the
air at1 a swift speed with feet up and
head down. He continued to ascend in
this position uiitil he was fully 60 feet
high, whenthe foreman noticed the mis
hap and at once gave orders for the
dangling man to be lowered.
"From handling the coal he went up
black in the face," said one of the men,
"but when he came down he Was white
