A POLITICAL WEDDING. Democrats and Pops in Political Unity. F. O. Daniel for Superior Judge, and C. C. Edinger for the Assembly—Interesting Things that Happened During the Day—Mr. Squires Comes Near Talking Candidate Daniel to Death — Mr. Rogers' Witty Motion—Cap. Schumacher Rises to Make a Remark—How Candidate Edinger Came Up to the Hall—Uncle Dan'l Baker has the Cards Stacked for the Senatorial Nomination, but Rabbi Edelman has His Eye onto Him. The Democratic and Populist parties joined hands in the bonds of political wedlock at their conventions at Santa Ana on Saturday. It will require the ideos of November to determine whether this joining of issues in quest of the ignis fatua of political spoils will bear the fondly expected crop of loaves and fishes, and if it does not there will probably be a notice in the papers that one has left the other's bed and board, that incompatibility of temper has served to disrupt the union, and giving warning that one be given no credit on the other's account at the grocery. But nevertheless the fusionists put up the best ticket they had in the shop. Fabius O. Daniel was nominated by the Democrats for Superior Judge, and was subsequently endorsed—or, more properly, nominated again—by the Populists; and C. C. Edinger, who was formerly the Chairman of the Santa Ana Board of Trustees, underwent a similar process for Assemblyman, the Pops getting the first whack at his nomination. There were several funny things and one or two surprises in the Democratic convention. W. P. Northcross of Orange was selected as Temporary Chairman. The gentleman is a gold bug, and in the last Democratic convention offered an amendment to the report of the committee on resolutions, protesting against "silver monometalism;" and he was shortly displaced by the committee on order of business who recommended Uncle Dan'l Baker, the Black Eagle of the Santiago, a rampant silver bug, as Permanent Chairman in his stead. Baker indulged the convention in a lengthy silver convention were then elected from the five Supervisor districts—two from each: First district—Charley H. Neill. Second district—M. Nisson, Jake Ross. Third—M. L. Rogers, U. E. Squires. Fourth—Uncle Dan'l (reconsidered), W. P. Northcross. Fifth—Henry Adams, W. T. Newland. All the minutiae of the work of the convention had now been cleared off the board, and still there was no word from the Populists. The convention had not long to wait, for soon word was brought in to the effect that C. C. Edinger had been nominated by the Populists for Assemblyman on the second ballot. The Chairman arose and said that recently a caucus of leaders of the two parties had been held, at which a plan of fusion had been decided upon. The committee had arranged for a joint wedding of the two parties. It was to be a family affair. In consideration of the Populists embracing with true love and feelings of affection the Democratic candidate for Superior Judge, the Democrats agreed to take to their bosoms the Populist candidate for the Assembly. Wild cheers greeted this humorous announcement, and above all lusty calls arose for the man whose name was now upon everybody's lips. "Edinger!" "Edinger!" "Edinger!" came from a hundred throats. But he came not, and after yelling itself into silence, the convention subsided, and the work of the committee on fusion was ratified and there was more noise. The Chair—The next business before the convention is the selection of a candidate for Superior Judge. There was no response. The report prevailed that Judge Montgomery had withdrawn from the race, leaving the field clear for Daniels. A rumor was also current that Judge Towner would be trotted out at the last moment for re-election to the office. The Chair—Are there any candidates for Superior Judge in the house? [Laughter.] Finally U. E. Squires of Olive appeared and nominated Mr. Daniel. At mention of the name there was a wild outburst of applause from the noisiest convention that ever sat in the hall. Here Mr. Squires should have stopped, but he continued on until it seemed he was really never going to stop, and though it was generally known that there would be no other candidate for the office, yet every word of Squires' speech after the first outburst of applause that greeted Daniel's name, placed that gentleman more and more in jeopardy of losing the nomination. Nothing since Heathman's speech murdering George Bassonett in the convention two years ago came so near wrecking the fortunes of a candidate as this speech. Only the fact that Daniels had no opponent saved him. Squires kept on, giving the convention a long-drawn-out and dry biographical sketch of his man, and the delegates became weary and surfeited with enuil. Spectators left the ball, delegates twisted nervously in their seats, and still Squires kept on. Finally he closed in a peroration of something about a Daniel Kleinigkeiten. Look out for the railroad graders! A bouncing ten-pound baby boy arrived at Ralph Hunter's residence at 7 o'clock yesterday morning. The weather prophets predict that we might have a bit of a blow—a Santa Ana wind—before many days are over. The days have been warm during the week, the thermometer rising to the 90's, but the nights have been cool. The Ladies' Euchro Club will meet at the residence of Mrs. O. des Granges, Sr., on the afternoon of the 25th of September. John Davis, who lives on the Gardiner place west of town, has the thanks of the editorial household for some splendid melons. The lectures at the Sanitarium are becoming quite popular. Yesterday morning there were a number of visitors in to hear Dr. Scheurer lecture on anatomy. Marshal Steadman gives notice in our advertising columns this morning that city taxes are now due and payable to him at his office in the City Hall. The Alice Roseland dramatic company, supported by the Wilber stock company, will give an entertainment at the Opera-house on Monday evening next. The Woman's convention meets at Santa Ana to-day (Thursday) at 2 o'clock. Mrs. T. S. Grimshaw is the elected delegate and Miss Fanny Higgins Secretary from this city. The Lulu James dramatic company failed to appear at the Opera-house on Monday evening, and the statement is given out that the company will not come, for the present. Wm. Schwonckert has our thanks for a couple of baskets of grapes and some pomegranates. Mr. Schwonckert had the misfortune one day last week to learn by telegraph of the death of an uncle in Illinois. The town has been billed for the Sells Bros., & Forepangh circus which shows in Los Angeles two nights the latter part of the month. The circus gives Orange county go to this trip, and neither Anabeim nor Santa Ana will have the show. Lloyd Bailey, George Boyd and John Beash went on a hunting expedition up Soquel canyon on Tuesday morning, and were expected back last evening loaded down with venison. As we go to press, no venison is in sight yet. A meeting of the Republicans of this city will be held in Harker's real estate office on Center street on Saturday evening at half past 7 o'clock. Those in position to Pops getting the first whack at his nomination. There were several funny things and one or two surprises in the Democratic convention. W. P. Northcross of Orange was selected as Temporary Chairman. The gentleman is a gold bug, and in the last Democratic convention offered an amendment to the report of the committee on resolutions, protesting against "silver monometalism;" and he was shortly displaced by the committee on order of business who recommended Uncle Dan T Baker, the Black Eagle of the Santiago, a rampant silver bug, as Permanent Chairman in his stead. Baker indulged the convention in a lengthy silver speech that was characterized by more ranting rot to the square inch than anything the Democrats of the county ever listened to. "We want to open the nints of the country to the free and unlimited coinage of silver so that we may throw out the silver dollars among the people—throw them out among you," he shouted, motioning with his hands and arms as though engaged in the reprehensible act of hurling bucketsful of silver out upon the heads of the delegates. There was loud and long continued applause at this, coupled with cries of "That's the talk!" "The United States Government issued greenbacks during the war—cheap Lincoln wage—and they were good money; money was never so plentiful; why can't the Government issue the same kind of money today!" There was more applause, and so it continued to punctuate the speech intermittently until its close. As a rule, the more nonsemenical the talk, the louder the noise. Uncle Dan's has the cards stacked in an innocent sort of way for the Senatorial nomination; but Charley Edelman is also in the fight, and will go him a round, even though he loses. Uncle Dan's was placed in nomination for one of the delegates at large to the Senatorial convention, but declined, saying he'd rather not go. Subsequently Edelman was elected a delegate, whereupon Uncle Dan' was prevailed upon to go as a delegate from his Supervisor district. Dan will go to the convention, which will assemble at Corona at 28th of the month, just to keep his eye on the Rabbi. Spurgeon's Hall, where the unterrified met in convention assembled, is probably the worst lighted hall in the world. It is quite dark enough within ordinarily, but when the curtains, which need washing, are so tightly drawn that sharp pencilings of light are all that are permitted to make a forcible entry into the dimly lighted room, glaring into one's eyes from the reflection of the sun on the Brunswick Hotel across the road, the effect may be better imagined than described. So far as recognizing an old acquaintance among the delegates was concerned, that was out of the question, from the seats at the base of the Chairman's platform, and the proceedings of the afternoon were carried on, so far as those facing the delegates were concerned, for the most part by ear. The day's proceedings began by the mistake, on the part of the chairman, of entertaining a motion to put up the committee on credentials the work usually performed not only by the committee on permanent organization and order of business, but by the committee on resolutions as well—putting the work of the three committees on one. The mistake was discovered before the convention adjourned for luncheon, and a motion was made by Mr. Edelman and carried to appoint a committee on resolutions. Then another mistake was made in permitting the convention to split up into five Supervisor district canouses to select a member of the committee on resolution from each. The committee on credentials had been nominated as follows: Henry Neill, L. B. Fine, B. Frank Porter, Charley Edelman and W. T. Newland; when the noise of the moving delegates to get into their canouses made impossible all attempts to preserve order, and after a lengthy bit of confusion stop, and though it was generally known that there would be no other candidate for the office, yet every word of Squires' speech after the first outburst of applause that greeted Daniel's name, placed that gentleman more and more in jeopardy of losing the nomination. Nothing since Heathman's speech murdering George Bassonett in the convention two years ago came so near wrecking the fortunes of a candidate as this speech. Only the fact that Daniels had no opponent saved him. Squires kept on, giving the convention a long-drawn-out and dry biographical sketch of his man, and the delegates became weary and surfeited with ennui. Spectators left the ball, delegates twisted nervously in their seat, and still Squires kept on. Finally he closed in a peroration of something about a Daniel come to judgment, looked about as though he had forgotten something, and then took his seat. M. L. Rogers (raising)—Mr. President, in view of the fact that we have a good deal of business to transact, and the hour is getting late, I would move you that nominating speeches be limited to an hour—or say an hour and a half. [Uproarious laughter.] Mr. Daniels was nominated despite Mr. Squires' speech, and was called for and responded in a bit of a talk that amounted to nothing, yet was loudly applauded. Rabbi Edelman and Deacon Spurgeon were appointed to take up a collection to defray expenses and succeeded in gathering $30 25. The work of the convention was now over, and the impatient delegates set up a cry for the Populist candidate for Assemblyman. A delegate asked how the convention would do about endoring him. Would they endorse him or nominate him? The Chair—The best of our legal advice is that he must be nominated. Rabbi Edelman then nominated C. C. Edinger for the Assembly. Cap Schumacher—I move that nominations close— Some one caught the Captain by the coat tails and he sat down, amid audible titters. The nomination was seconded by several and was put and carried unanimously. The delegates again set up a call for the absent nominee. The storm center of the cheering, gathering force down on the sidewalk at the foot of the stairs, told the delegates that their candidate was approaching. Up the stairway the maelstrom of noise denoted that he was coming up to the stairs. The delegates rose in confusion as he entered the hall. As he freed himself from the dozens of men who crowded about him to shake him by the hand, he walked, hat in hand, towardthe Chairman's platform. He was a portly gentleman of perhaps 200 pounds, aged about 55, with gray hair and beard, and stirred like a farmer. As he mounted the platform he walked up to the chairman, who came forward to meet him, and he asked: "Have I been nominated for Assemblyman here?" The Chair—Yes, sir, you have been nominated as the candidate of the Democratic party for that office. He turned and thanked the convention for the honor, said he would vote for Cator for Senator, or for some other free-silver Democrat, but for a Republican never. Then noisy convention adjourned with three cheers for the ticket. THE POPULISTS. TWO BALLOTS NECESSARY TO DECIDE THEIR CHOICE FOR ASSEMBLYMAN. The Populists met in G. A. R. hall, Uncle Hiram Hamilton in the chair. Four candidates were placed in nomination for the Assembly, viz., C. C. Edinger, Dr. Head, E. D. Cooke and Mr. Winslow. The first ballot resulted: Edinger 34, Head 28, Winslow 5, Cooke 2. No choice. Second ballot: Edinger 41, Head 27, Winslow 1, Cooke 1. Edinger was declared to be nominee. The convention subsequently nominated Daniel for Superior Judge. graph of the death of an uncle in Illinois. The town has been billed for the Sella Bros. & Forepaw circus which shows in Los Angeles two nights the latter part of the month. The circus gives Orange county go-by this trip, and neither Anabeim nor Santa Ana will have the show. Lloyd Bailey, George Boyd and John Bush went on a hunting expedition up Soquel canyon on Tuesday morning, and were expected back last evening loaded down with venison. As we go to press, no venison is in sight yet. A meeting of the Republicans of this city will be held in Harker's real estate office on Center street on Saturday evening at half-past 7 o'clock. Those in position to know tell us the meeting ought to organize with over 100 members. An order was on Saturday made by the Superior Court to the effect that insomuch as H. F. Kealiher had not complied with the former order confirming the sale to him of The Timo Lynch real estate, the Public Administrator be ordered to re-sell the property. J. S. Howard of Pomona has rented the Metz building on Los Angeles street and will open the same as a photograph gallery aboutthe first of October.Mr Howard is an experienced photographer having been inthe business forthe past fifteen years,and comes well recommended as an artist.

The committee on credentials had been nominated as follows: Henry Neill, L. B. Fine, B. Frank Porter, Charley Edelman and W. T. Newland; when the noise of the moving delegates to get into their canouses made impossible all attempts to preserve order, and after a lengthy bit of confusion the following names were reported as the committee on resolutions: H. N. Short, W. H. Bentley, W. M. McFadden, R. M. Hargrave, J. R. Raine. The convention adjourned for luncheon, and it was the common remark that while Northcross can make probably the best nominating speech in the county, as a presiding officer he is not so successful. It was close upon 2 o'clock before the committee on credentials were ready to report. They didn't do a thing to Northcross, for they forthwith recommended Uncle Dan'l for permanent presiding officer. But whether this was done in retaliation for cheating upon them the work of two committees, whether on account of the fear that Northcross would tangle up the affairs of the convention, or whether it was because they wanted to listen to a good old fashioned fiat money speech, we cannot say; but Northcross yielded gracefully, and Uncle Dan'l took the chair, and regaled the convention in a half hour's talk on cheap money. Secretary Monaghan read the list of delegates, and the chairman read the platform, which was short, and endorses the Chicago platform and pledges the party to Bryan and Sewall. At the mention of the names of the standard bearers the convention went wild with enthusiasm. Down the street, in G. A. R. hall, the Pops were cheering for Bryan and Watson. The convention made haste slowly, in order to hear what the Pops were doing with the proposed plan of fusion. The Chair announced that the first business before the meeting was the selection of county central committeeemen. A half hour was consumed in their selection. (Their names appear upon the first page.) An auditing committee composed of the following delegates was appointed by the Chair: Henry Neill, George Minter, Bill Spargeon, J. B. Raine, E Johnson. Selection of two delegates from the county to the Senatorial convention was next declared to be in order. The following were placed in nomination: W. M. McFadden, Uncle Dan'l Baker, (declined;) Charley Edelman, and W. L. Metcalfe. The vote resulted: Edelman 62, Metcalfe 46, McFadden 39. The two former were declared to be the choice of the convention. The following delegates to the Senatorial organization and order of business, but by the committee on resolutions as well—putting the work of the three committees on one. The mistake was discovered before the convention adjourned for luncheon, and a motion was made by Mr. Edelman and carried to appoint a committee on resolutions. Then another mistake was made in permitting the convention to split up into five Supervisor district caucuses to select a member of the committee on resolution from each.

The driver cut the cords of the Freshies in the wagon and then the Freshmen took possession of the wagon and captured a number of more Sophia. When half way home they met reinforcements in the shape of a number of Freshmen who had made prisoners of some Sophia. When they reached the University they found about forty Sophia tied to the trees, and as many Freshies guarding them. About twenty-five of the Soph ringleaders were thrown into a wagon and taken down to the bay about four miles and dumped into the water. Tom doesn’t add whether they were all drowned or not, but the Freshies got a photographer and took a picture of the Sophs tied up before they were dumped in. He adds that the Sophs will probably not attempt to “ruush” again this term. While riding a bicycle near his home at the corner of Lemon and Sycamore streets on Saturday evening, Ed Zeus had the bad luck to fall from his wheel, breaking his left arm an inch and a half above the wrist. The break was set by Dr. Champion, and Ed will have a vacation from our composing room for a month or so. In the meantime George Bauer and John Smythe, the two local lightning strikers, are assisting us to get the paper out. There was a deep-chested and sonorous report about the best laboratory on Tuesday afternoon to the effect that Ben Huss had flopped to the gold standard and had left his previously acquired silver-bug ideas behind him. On interviewing him, Ben pronounced the report a malicious campaign canard, manufactured out of whole cloth by his arch enemies, George Garlochs and J. H. Eocarl. Ben and Check Weighman Moreland will have free-silver ideas, but the other boys at the laboratory tell us they will have them both converted before election. The Epworth League and the Y. P. S. C. E. will hold a union meeting next Sunday evening in the Presbyterian Church.

At the close of the meeting a collection will be taken for the relief of the destitute Armenians. Should any desire to contribute to this cause and be unable to attend the meeting they may send their contribution by a friend, or hand it to Rev. Collings or Rev. Stone. Mr. Shanley has brought into our office several beautiful clusters of walnuts, one of them containing thirteen nuts—or rather twelve, one having broken off in the handling. This is the cluster which he referred to at Santa Ana last week, in a conversation among walnut growers, and at that time he thought it contained eleven nuts.

The Judge is an old-time friend of Mr. Bassett, having known him in San Francisco in the early days. Every time Mr. Bassett comes to Southern California comes over to Anahaim to see the Judge.

Capitain came down from Los Angeles yesterday afternoon to close up their negotiations for the building of the factory spur from this city to the Alamitos. Mr Capitain has labored faithfully to bring his spur to this city, and now that his efforts conjointly with the work of the committee on right of way, are about to be crowned with success, he will be accorded the generous thanks of the people of the community therefor—as will the gentlemen of the committee also. Engineers Boschke and Winingstad in Southern Pacific Company have located their families here for the present, and they best indication that railroad building was begun from this point to the Alamitos farther north The image contains a page from a historical newspaper with columns of text in English.

It was picked up, torn up, and soon swept out and destroyed. Shortly afterward news came of his arrest in San Francisco, on a charge of embezzlement, and his imprisonment in default of $3000 ball. The offense with which he is charged is made more serious by the fact that he is alleged to have appropriated the last dollar from a destitute widow for whom he collected the money. Mrs. Susan Cunningham owned a little home which was mortgaged to Michael Ccran. He closed, but agreed to pay the widow a certain sum of money. This amounted to $135, and was collected by Hayford, who be given by each of the pastors. At the close of the meeting a collection will be taken for the relief of the destitute Armenians. Should any desire to contribute to this cause and be unable to attend the meeting they may send their contribution by a friend, or hand it to Rev. Collings or Rev. Stone. Mr. Shanley has brought into our office several beautiful clusters of walnuts, one of them containing thirteen nuts—or rather twelve, one having broken off in the handling. This is the cluster which he referred to at Santa Ana last week, in a conversation among walnut growers, and at that time he thought it contained eleven nuts. George Ruddock went this two better, having gathered a cluster from his archiderm with thirteen nuts. Mr. Shanley has taken another look at the cluster, and finds it equals Mr. Ruddock's. The cluster is now on exhibition at this office, and we are waiting to hear from Mr. Ruddock. It is important that voters who have attended to the duty of registration, should not fall into the error of supposing that they can move into the precinct from the one in which they are registered without losing their votes. There will be cases no doubt where such removals may take place before the November election. To persons who have moved or are intending to move from one precinct to another, information as to the requirements of the law will be useful. It is necessary that in order to vote every person who leaves the precinct where he registered shall procure a transfer to the precinct which he moves. The legal requirements as to residence is that a citizen must have lived continuously for thirty days before the election in the precinct in which he wishes to cast his ballot. Transfers may be granted to those who move thirty days or more before the election, but none to those who move thereafter. You must vote in your home precinct, or you cannot vote at all. Herman Dickel is out of luck with his bay mare that had its tendons cut in a runaway accident in the Brea canyon some months ago. The animal was found after a serious runaway accident, and the tendons of one of the hind legs were cut as with a knife, the tendons on the other leg being all but similarly severed. How the animal uncovered unaccountable severings of the tendons has all along been a mystery, and there were not lacking those who declared it to be their belief that the cuts were the work of a friend in human form, who slashed the tendons out of pure meanness. The mare was hauled in upon a dray from where she was found lying in the canyon, and after many weeks of careful attention by a veterinary the tendons healed and the mare recovered sufficiently to be able to get about the stable yard. She was sent out to pasture in Soquel canyon some weeks ago, and last week disappeared from the ranch; but whether she was stolen or strayed is not known. Tuesday afternoon a political card of George Hayford, bearing his photograph, which he used during his campaign for Assemblyman in this county some years ago, and which had reposed forgotten in the card case at the side of the editorial table, fell to the floor, of its own volition.

Mrs. Susan Cunningham owned a little home which was mortgaged to Michael Ccran. He closed, but agreed to pay the widow a certain sum of money. This amounted to $135, and was collected by Hayford, who listen to what the wild waves are saying. Cypress school district began school Monday, Sept. 14th, with Margaret E. Landell as teacher.

Bassett of San Francisco, for many years Secretary of the Republican State Central Committee, was in town yesterday, having come up from San Diego, where he went to look over the country with a view to see how politics are going. Mr. Bassett is a keen observer, and informs us that if Southern California does as well as the northern part of the State, the State will go for McKinley by a good majority. Mrs. Henry Rogers and grand daughter, Mrs. Jennie Benot, returned on Saturday evening to their home in Garden Grove from a visit of some seven months to relatives and friends in Missouri and other Eastern States.

All who are interested in Chautauqua work are requested to meet at the home; Ms.Means, on Los Angeles street; morrow (Friday) evening. It is to be hoped that a large Cirole will be formed, as course of reading this year promises to be special interest. Doubtless most of the citizens of Alameda are familiar with Chautauqua work but a word explanation may not be our place. Every intelligent man or woman wants improve his or her mind and is willing make some effort and sacrifice to do so; all spend some money and time each year with this object in view. Sometimes ever, the money and time are worse than wasted on worthless or harmful literature. The Chautauqua course is a guarantee against this waste of time and money. A course of reading carefully selected articles is systematically arranged by competent authors. This year the course is composed bythe Chautauqua Magazine andthe following five books: The Growth of The Freedom Nation; by Prof. Adams, of Yale Brownt University; French Traits; by W.C.Brown; A Study of The Sky,a popular astronomy book; By Prof.Downey; Director Of Chamber Observatory; University Of Denver; A Survey Of Greek Civilization; By Prof.Mathieu Of Trinity College,Dublin Ireland; A Theory Of Greek Art;By Prof.Tanbell,Verosity Of Chicago. The books cost $5 andthe Chautauqua $2 with 10 per cent discount,making it all in this not too spend on mental culture for a year.Even this ample may be reduced by two or three using same books,making only a little more.Among who is not willing to spend this small ample per year on his mind does not deserve have one. The books are all written in a poetic manner.Very little time is required,since every week spent withthe Circle discussingthe matter read.S thus they as well asthe intellectual sideofyour futureis developed.Nowif Godhas you a mindworth two or three dollars annumand thirty minutesofyourattendanceper dayWhynot unitewiththeChautauqua?

It was picked up, torn up, and soon swept out and destroyed. Shortly afterward news came of his arrest in San Francisco, on a charge of embezzlement, and his imprisonment in default of $3000 ball. The offense with which he is charged is made more serious by the fact that he is alleged to have appropriated the last dollar from a destitute widow for whom he collected the money. Mrs. Susan Cunningham owned a little home which was mortgaged to Michael Curran. He foreclosed, but agreed to pay the widow a certain sum of money. This amounted to $135, and was collected by Hayford, who acted for Mrs. Cunningham, and was to receive a fee of $10. According the woman's story, and the evidence of other witnesses, Hayford paid his client $5 and kept the balance. Attorneys to whom the widow went in her distress, made several attempts to have Hayford disgorge. He was rich in promises, but no coin was forthcoming. —Deeds of bravery and heroism are not all things of the past, as was proven by an incident that occurred at the Landing on Sunday, between 3 and 4 o'clock. As the tide was going out with force, and the wind, meeting it, lashed it into heavy chopping waves, a man by the name of Theodore Frixen started out into the bay in a round-shaped narrow boat to look for an car that had been lost by some boating party. His boat could not stand the pressure of the heavy waves and was overturned, throwing its occupant out. Then the cry of "Man overboard" rang through the camp and almost paralyzed with fear those who stood on shore. Brave hearts and willing hands sprang to the rescue. The large surboat "Nora," better known as "Bessie," was lifted by four men, carried into the water and was soon manned by the following men: Ford Alvarez, owner of the boat, Arhie Hunsaker and Herbert Morton at the oars, and Eddie Goss in the stern to watch for the drowning man. Within a few feet of the bar, where dashing waves would soon have swept him under, he was reached and drawn into the boat. He was scarceely conscious of anything but that he was saved from a watery grave, and his joy was unbounded. A hard pull brought them to land and there it took six men to roll up on rollers the boat that a few moments before had been carried by four men. Only those who know the conditions of currents and tides at the Landing at times can realize the danger to which rescued and rescuers were subjected.
