A SLIDE ON A ROOF
Terrifying Experience on an Ice
Coated Mansard.
FIGHTING DEATH IN MIDAIR
Perilous Plight of Two Workers, and
an Exhibition of Coolness, Presence
of Mind and Heroic Patience How
the Difficult Rescue Was Effected.
During the fall and winter of 1870
A. T. Stewart, who had bought the
Grand Union hotel nt Saratoga, lnrgcly
rebuilt that great hostelry of i!,000
rooms. The building bus a munsard
roof, and at the peak It Is ninety-eight
feet from tho sidewalk.
Ono cold winter morning, when the
work was virtually completed, two
men, Harvey, tho head roofer, and a
helper named DciiiiIhoii went up on
the roof to finish tho Hashing round
tho bnso of the tower. There had beeu
n slight mist that morning, and It bud
frozen npou tho roof, but the two
men had on India rubber overshoes to
preveut them from slipping on tho
slates.
Suddenly, however, Harvey's feet be
gan to slip. Ho went very slowly at
first, for tho upper roof of n mansard
is not steep. Ho tried to stop himself,
but there was nothing to which ho
could cling. Ho turned Ills head In
Deinilson's direction to see If ho could
not give somo assistance, but Dentil
son too, was sliding Blowly down tho
roof.
Harvey's presenco of inltid did nov
leave him. "Llo down flat!" be called.
Bo both men carefully laid themselves
at full length on tho icy roof In order
Hint tho Increased friction might re
tard, and perhaps stop, their descent.
For an Instnnt It checked the move
ment. Then the men began aguln
Blowly to slip nearer the angle of the
roof and tho steep pitch below.
It seemed like hours, although It was
only a few moments, when Harvey felt
his heels catch on a slight projection.
A blind gutter had been built into the
lower edge of the upiier part of the
roof to carry off tho largo amount of
water that would full upon such an ex
panse or roor. Tho upper gutter pro
jected above tho slato roof only about
half an Inch, but it was against this
that Harvey's heels had caught.
There he hung on tho very brink or
tho abyss safe for an instnnt. He
dared not move n muscle, however, ot
even turn bis head to see If Dennlsou
were still on the roor. Ho did not cry
out for help, for ho feared that the
mero effort of tilling his lungs and
shouting might dislodgo him. No out
could see the men on the flat of tha
roof from tho street below. Tho only
hope lay in the carpenters Mho wor
nt work tusldo tho building. Uut how
should they know what was happening
up thcro on the roof?
Suddenly Harvey beard a voice, low,
but distinct, come from the tower
above him. "Hold on," It said, "and
I'll help you!" Then nftor a long time
Harvey heard tho sound of several
voices. Whoever bad found him hnd
got help.
Tho first volco spoke again: "Hold
on! We will lower this rope to youl"
Presently something rubbed on tho
lnto above Harvey's head. It wan
tho rope, which they were slowly
working down toward him.
"Can you get hold of it?" asked tho
voice.
"1 don't dare movo much," Harvey
replied "Can't you get It down near
my band?"'
They had to give It a flip to get It bj
his shoulder. Then It traversed tho
length of his arm and finally touched
his hand.
Harvey raised his nrm very careful
ly and took hold of tho rope. It was
an inch cablo that had been used in
raising tho slato from tho ground t?
tho roof.
"Can you turn over very carefullj
nnd climb up?" asked the voice.
Cautiously Harvey worked his hand
along on the rope It was Ills right
hatid-untll ho flnnlly drew it taut.
Then ho carefully raised his left hand
and, reaching across, grasped tho rope
with that hand too.
Then when the worst of tho matter
was over, lie began to shako llko :i
leaf. Ho lay there, flat on hi bad;,
clinging desperately to the ropo and
dreading Inexpressibly the next step.
How was be to turn over on that slip
pery roof when ho needed both bund!)
to cling to tho rope?
At last he spoko hoarsclj:
"Can you pull me up?"
They consulted togethei.
"1 don't daro to turn over," ho
added.
There was a sharp tug on tho roiJ.
Harvey iec them draw his arms up to
their extreme length, still nfrald to
trust his weight to ids ri-scuem. Then
ho felt bl heels I oho their grip on the
gutter, and bo bogim nlowly to movn
upward.
It wim not fill bo hud nearly reach
