PUNT ADRIFT IN THE RiVER

' Away From Moorings and Were
t Swept Into Swirl of Waters-
Clasped Hands and Crouched In

er Lad Swam to the Shore.
NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y., June 23. -
Hubert Moore, the 1.n -year-old son of
ll}irs. Tobia Moore, 6281.2 Elmwood
avenue, and Donald Roscoe, ten -year-
old son of William Roscoe, 710 Ash-
land avenue, were carried to death in
a fishing punt in the \'hiripool Ra-
pids at five o'clock yesterday after-
noon. Elliott Thompson, the 14 -year-
old son of Frank Thompson, 455 Elm-
wood avenue, escaped by leaping from
the craft and swimming ashore.
Fully 300 people saw the two boys
go to their death, but were powerless
to lend aid. A call was sent to the
ire department, but the inen who
desponded could do nothing to prevent
the tragedy.
The three boys were playing on the
lower river bank below the plant of
the Niagara Falls Brewing Co. A fish-
ing punt owned by George Wolfe.
1,172 Michigan avenue, was moored
to a tree stump, and the little fellows
clambered into the boatand amused
themselves for an hour throwing sticks
into • the river and watching the cur-
rent carry them ashore, When the
old rope that held the punt broke the
boys did not notice that the craft
was adrit until itwas about twenty
feet from the shore, but having seen
sticks carried shoreward by the aue
rent, the boys did not apparently feet
alarmed. Soon, however, they were,
horrified to discover that the punt was
going clown stream at a rapid pare.
Yount Thmmnsnn the only member
or the party who eould swim, plunged
into the river and swam ashore, after
telling his companions not to worry,
that the boat would be carried ashore
by the current. For half a mile the
little fellow ran along the rough bank
calling encouragement to his maroon-
ed companions. Then, exhausted, he
fell to the ground. He watched the
boat round the curve in the river and
saw it carried quickly to midstream
by • the swift water just above the
Whirlpool Rapids. He trudged home,
completely done out, andsis in bed
suffering from terrible nervous shock.
Word was quickly passed that two
boys were adrift in a boat without
oars, and the river banks were 'lined
with people. A crowd lined the rail
of the tower bridto as the little craft
with its helpless pa-senaers plunged
into the Whirlpool Rapids.
Just before the enek•sheil death trap
entered the rapids, the two little vic-
tims of the treacherous stream stood
up and shook hands. Men wept and
women screamed when they witnessed,
this touching ween. Then, as if in
prayer, the helniee4 ten -year-old;
crouched in the bottnm of the boat
with their Hands clasped. In an in-
stant young Monte threw up his head,
braced himself. and grabbed the side
of the boat. Hi+ companion did like-
wise, and the old fishing punt struck
the first wave of' the Whirlpool Rapids.
The boat was tnseerl in the air by a
giant wave forty feet high, the great-
est of all waves of the rapids.
Like soldiers under fire. the boys
faced their doom )hanging tight to the
side of the punt, awhile the tiny craft
was buffeted frdm wave to wave in
the turbulent, rushing, toseine. waters
of the rapids. After mounting tha
mammoth wave, the punt plunged her
nose into the crest and sank with her
human freight. The two boys were
still holding fast to the sides of tha
boat when the cruel waters engulfed
them,
Mrs. Roscoe is seriously ill, and it is
feared the shock will kill her. • Three
physicians were working aver last
night: She is unconscious. Mrs.
Moore is prostrated by the shock.

SOME statements are so saturated with their

ing on a car during the excitement over,the
naval battles between Russia and Japan," said Mr.
Thomas Martindale, before the Retail Merchants'
Association of Pennsylvania, "I observed that the
men were reading the war news and the women
were reading advertisements. Those women, I
watched keenly, read eoery line of the advertise,
ments, and then turned to the woman's page, This
ride was a distance of eighty miles, yet at the
journey's end the women had nor yet had ,time to
turn to the, actual news of the day. The women
want advertisements to read, and you must present
your business in a readable shape to be in the fight
these days."
