Both aro autd to have fallen in lovo,
Last Saturday Riley came here from
Women and Child-

With a fearful crash the section of

Aboard both floata, but fully 1-3 plung

That so many peoplo could haye fallen
into iuch a apnea without stunning and
thrusting a number of those undorneath

would be caught under tho fioata seems
incredible, though (or a timo it was
