What carne very near being a sad
drowning affair happened at Londes
born mills on Friday afternoon. The
1l' f rain the night Heavy fa nefore o
had raised the water to spring fres-
het height in the river and had
broken the ice 'fora long distance
above the dam, The ice at the dam
seemed quite solid so that ;Mr. Hut-
ton and his son-in-law, Mr. G. C.
Thompeost, went out to break some
of it and . get it away before the
big rush of water came. They had
only been working a dew minutes.
when the ice gave way under • Mr.
Hutton and he was carried swiftly;
over thy dam into the seething
wat-
ers below. After being carried soma
dllatanes he got to a place where he
could touch bottom and with great
difficulty he pulled himself onto a
large piece of ice. Almost at the
same moment the ice broke under
Mr. Thompson and he was also be-
ing earried down stream, but being
father from the dam and a little.
nearer the shore lie made one des-
perate leap and landed up to his
neck in water but with his feet on.
solid ground. It happened that Mr,
Charlie Stewart, who. was at the
mill at the time, was standing with
Mrs,. Thompson watching the two
sten and they immediately ran to
their assistance, Mr. Thompson was
within a few feet of the pier but
Laving on long rubber boots which.
were fall of water, ani b`avy cloth-
ing, he was unable to help himself
much. With great presened.of mind
Mrs. Thompson removed tlie long coat

of it threw it to hint and he was
quickly drawn in. They then went
to Mr. Hutton, who had a rope at-
tached : to him arsi this he threw to
his rescuers and they towed him in.
It was a close call and had it not been
for the• quick and heroic action of
Mrs. Thompson and -''Mr. Stewart the
story might have been a different
one. As it 'was '1396 men were near-
ly exhausted buf it is hoped that
very soon they will be fully recover-
ed from their most unpleasant ex-
perience,
