MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
A story is told of a log-roller who, while working on a log drive, fell into the water. He struggled for a while, and at last, dizzy and nearly exhausted, managed to grasp a big log and hold on to it. The current was so strong and swift that it carried his body under the log, until his feet stuck out on the other side. Just as a comrade grasped him by the shoulders he caught sight of his own feet protruding on the other side of the log. "I can hold on a bit longer !" he gasped. "Save the chap that's in head first, if you can."
