There was neith. er cloud nor ripple to mar their• pleasure when all at once, on by some magical power, the boat began to rook and heave the paeeenlers out into the still Bold wat- er, and being superstitious, as sailors al- ways aro, the boat was 00011 abandoned. Every soul took to the water and made. for land, which all reached in safety. The boat is called the "MoCptder" and le one of the fastest on the stream.
