They i.4t&, however, able to extricate themselves after some trouble, but one was temporarily overcome uy the heat and a quantity of salt water which he had swallowed. Dr. Suttee, who-was bathing in the vieinity, attended to the lad, who was taken to his home, and is now doing all right. The other boy was bathing again-in the afternoon.
