It seems that as he approached the wharf to make a landing, tho passengers rowded to one side of the boat, causing her to ro!I down until the water came into the cabin windows. Then six of them lost their fooling and wont over board and the boat righed herself, The thing that kept her from rolling over waa that John Manning was in the cabin, and it was proved years bro that ho wasn't born to bo drowned. Five of the men who were given snch an unexpected bath made 'their way a'iiore, and the sixth was fished out w ith a boat. It was raro good fortune that preventod moro serious results than a wetting. 1 Our Late Storm (Coquillo Herald) The heavy rainfall of Thursday, Fri day and Saturday gave us tho highes water on Sunday we havo had since 1390. Our mills are a day behind, and our railroad is unable to run, trains far ther this way from Marsbflold than Coal edd, the track being mostly' under wa ter from here to that place, and, wo are informed, very baely washed out of posi tion in many places. About all tho damsges done In this part of the valley is done to the railroad. Ou the upper river the railroad has suffered even more limn in the past, and tho farmers have ost considerable fencing. The long tres tie approaching the railroad bridge near the mouth of the North Fork is consid erably wrecked and damaged, The tres tle at Cedar Point is also removed from its foundation, and near the MeAdame place thero aro two or three (slides onto the track, while near Coaledo a large tree fell across a bridge cutting in two.

However, tho ralnn camo on lowly and with plenty of warning, giv ing tho people n good ennnce to look af ter nil live stock, In short, outside ol tho railroad and Mr. Peart there has been much more good than harm done by the high water, ssr "- " jf " -"" From Friday's Dally.
