A Life of 'Bravery and succeas on sca. mini Shore. A telegram from Niagara . dated last • (Wednesday) night saye e The tragedy.' ef yesterday—for there is only 'the smallest, possible foundation for the here that Cap- • tain Webb is still. alive—ie the all-Ftbsdrie ° ing topio of convereation here andeonathe- American side to -day. All eorts Of waye by which it is theuglit possible the OaPtaia ,eould have reached land are suggested, -but all appear to be Prompted by the strong hope that the .darnig swimmer had °seeped -death. Everywhere the question is asked " Has Webb been found yet ? " butnothing has yet been heard. • Search'has been made around the whirlpool and ;down the river for eeveralmilesebut as yet without success. Mr. Frederiok Kyle,the late captain's agent, returned to the Clifton House today'and obtained Weble'e Watch; which had been deposited with the clerk by Webb juet .before. going out. to. his death. Kyle went down .to Lewiston last night immediately after Webb'e. loss.. He hired a steam ferry boat' and . with several parties went up the river' several miles searching for the body, but without success. About 9 o'clock he returnedto .the Clifton House here and Shortly after- wards went to Buffalo.. •He. reeurned here to -day, and during several hours madea, _hruitless_searchealmag_thesbanks...eurround- ing the whirlpool. He appears nautili cast downat the death of the. captain. A rumor was ?Moat that Webb. had been been by some students passing the Roman Catholic College, of ...Our Lady. of Angele, 8everal miles down the river; ..but this. is not the case. . Another rumor . was that he had been seen at the Frontier HOnile, , but this is also untrue. Borne people yet hold to the belief that he is in hiding•Sfemewhere until tie , news of his death gets' abroad; when -he will -ehow hime self. They even offer. to. bet, money that he will yet turn' .but no wagers have Yet been reported. A theory is that he left the water at Foster's Flats, a; few nailee down the river, but inquiry oWed Olathe did not leave the water there: ' • • The statement of a boy, who paye he'sa,w the captain just at. the bend turning ;from the vvhirlpeel into the river wheetait.ciirvee. to the eastward, appeare to be, s the, Only fact which keeps alive_e_theabelief_thatsbe safely passed the most dangerous points But others who were close by did not see, the man at this point. There is no doubt he was seen near the Shoie wherStthe water begins to sweep aroutftt. One malt thought the captain was .going to make the. land at this point, and he started through the trees to reach. him for the purpoSe of having a conversation with the captain on corning out of the water. When he reached this spot, however, the captain was nowhere to, be seen, nor did he appear afterwards. • When in the small beat with McCloy, who rowed him to the ;point at which he 'Went into the water, • the captain talked freely.. He said in •answer. tn ,the boat- man's questions that he -made., 525,000 out of his swina. acroes the English Channel, and that 515,000 of it was gone. " Well," ;said McCloy, ." if I was yoni would go ashore andkeep the rest." But :the: cap- tain would not be pareuaded to . go baok, and when the boatman had; gone; as far as he dared, Webb stood up. in the boats and, went into the water. , • • The Maid of the Mast. The Maid of the Mist :was • the • appro., priitte name of a small steamer Which. in 1854 used to ply hetweee.aspoitit'juel above. the Railway SusperisienBeiclge and the loot of the Palle..

A daring river craftsnaan,JoefR.Robinson, undertook the hazardous task of Piloting the boat down the river, and .twomen named McIntyre and 'Jones assisted him. An immense concourse,. of • spectators assembled to Witness' the cemanaencementof the voyage, which was described by an eye- witness thus: With •a shriek' from her whistle and, a whitepuff from her escape • pipe, the boat ran up the eddy ashort dis- tance, then swung round to he right, cleared the smooth water; and Shot likesan • arrow into the rapid' ueder the bridge.

Robinson rose at once, Seleed the helm, set her to the right of the large • apt in the pool, and thenturned her directly, through the neck of it. Thence, after receiving another drenching from its comb- ing waves, she dashed. on .without further accident to the quiet bosom of the tiv.er below Lewiston." Thus was acciomplished the most remarkable and ;perilous voyage ever made. Captain 'Webb's Career. Captain Webb belonged -to an old and highly respected Salopian He was one of twelve children and was born in Dawley, in Shropshire, ia the year 1838. He spent hischildhood days on the banks of the Severn, where he learned • to swine, • and there, near the great iron bridge, he saved a younger member of his family from drowning. This was his first aquatic feat. He Was born with a love far the water, and prevailed upon his.friends to let him go to sea. Ata very eatly ago he donned the blue frock and. blanket trousers of a naval apprentice on board the train- ing shipConway. Here he learned to hand, reef and steer, and was well trained in all that goes to make- a thorOugh Bea- man. On board this vessel he 'became iambus by saving the life of a shipmate who fell overboard in• the Mersey. After leaving the Conway Captain Webb " served his time " in the employ of the Rathbone Brothers of Liverpool. He went in liter- ally at the hawse heles 'and canae out at the cabin windows. Bo was chief Officer of the Hengist and other seagoing ships. le-retuthingain-the Russia, of the Cunard Line, from New York to Liverpool, whither he wae coin. pelled to work his passage owing to disaster and,finanoial difficulties, it seaman on one of the lower yardarms fell into the sea, 'which was runhing mmultaine high. Tbe vessel was ageing- ttt , a great rate of speed, tr:nd there -was a tgale of wind blowing. Notwithstanding these disadvantages Captain Webb 'jumped on the rail and leaped into the sea to the drowning znan's rescue. He did not ;find the Railcar, but was not taken frontal:le water for more that half an hour, owing to the state of the weather. For this brave attempt the passengers presented hirn with 12100, and the Liverpool Humane Society sthe silver medal of the Royal Humane Society. Iu 1875 Captain Webb swam across the English Channel from Dover to Calais in twenty-one hours and a half, after la terrific: battle with the wind - and tide. For this he received a great ovation from the citizens of his native town. ;Later on he tried to swim thirty -be can- secutive hours on the Thames, but owing to the filthy conditstaol. the _water was unable; toremain in lofiger than ten. Even, then he was nearly poisoned. He, swam for six ,consecutive days with several famous eaVimenereishortlyeafterwarclemmone-to.,staye in the water longer than fourteen hours - each day, and beat the seoond man easily by twelve mules. OaTitiliicWebb said that he swam fourteen hours eaoh, of the first two days, but did liot find it necessary to do po afterward. • Captain Webb first vitited this continent in July, 1879,,aed on August 13th he swam from Sandy Hookto Manhattan Beach, and on August 23rd he was defeated by Captaitil Boyton at Newport, 13ciyton swinemieg an; his.. dress andusing paddles and giving ' Webb, five miles start in twenty-frve. second trial was arranged for September] 5th for 54,000, but the referee declined to 1 give a chcisima and the match was . subsequently declared off. He shortly afterward left for . England, but re- turned in June, 1882, when he won sieveral matches, defeating amongst others G. H. Wade and Thoreas Riley. On Qatober 14th of that year he performed thewonderful feat of remaining in the water 1281 hours in a week in Boston, the task being accorn- plised in a -tank in Agricultural Hall, Webb went back to England- immediately after- ward, but once more returned about two months ago. He announced his determine - tion to attempt the swimming of the Niagara rapids, ;and prepared himself for it by aeceuree of training at Nantasket Beach, where he could obtain plenty of Practice amid the breakers. The Place ot Death. ,Tbe whirlpool is a 'scene of extraordi: nary beauty and attreaetion. As the river approaches this place, its rapiddescent, and the narrowness ..of its curved and rocky bed, force the stream, which here runs at the rate of 27 miles an hour, into. the piled.up ridge-- of water, from which liquid jets and' coneS, often rising • to the height of twenty feet, are throwa into the Sir. At the pool the river anakee an abrupt turn . to the Tight,. while the strength and. violence of . its current, as it ' sweeps roubcl the cliff on the American Side, produces . so strong 'a reaction as to press • ,part.. of the stream into a recess or basin on 'the Canadian shore, the struggling and °minter -working currents, thus forming the great 'vortex of the. whirlpool.

A BRAVE LITTLE BOY. One of tise Rdom. iu the Late School Horror Dcwardetitor-Ilis raverY., In the•pamo mat occurred in Grammar School No. 25, on Fifth street, on June 8th, a little boy �f 8 years, named :Frederick Schultz, took a conspicuous part in saving his plass from fright and demoralization by his pluck and .coohiess. When a little boy in his class about hisown age attempt- ed to scramble out of a window; and throw himself to the sidewalk, Freddie Schultz Pulled hini back by the legs soad threatened to break his neck if he tried to de the same thing again.
