his efforts to set a pace to encourage her and hurry her on. Once 

 the crowds felt that he was deserting her. Time and again, how- 

 ever, he turned and helped her to her feet and prayed her to keep 

 up courage. He did all that man could do for a fair companion,

 their lives might be spared. 



Finally, they were seen to reach the still ice in an eddy on the 

 Canadian side and from this point men who had hurried down 

 the bank aided them to shore. They had been carried over two 

 thousand feet downstream on the moving ice, which seemed every 

 moment as about to open out in a great crevasse beneath them. 

 The lady was Miss Bessie Hall, of Johnsonburg, Pennsylvania, 

 while her companion was C. E. Misner, of Buffalo. No lives 

 have ever been lost on the Niagara ice-bridges. 



PORTER, PETER A. Goat Island. (Arm. rep't of the com'rs of the 

 state reserv. at Niagara. Albany. 1900. 16:75-128.) 



Mr. Porter's purpose is best expressed in his own words. " I have 

 endeavored, in this article," he says, " to bring together a number of 

 opinions that have been expressed about Goat Island, in its various aspects. 

 These expressions are mainly those of persons to whom the world has 

 given a hearing, because of their abilities and prominence in their respective 

 spheres. And joined to, and interwoven with these expressions, I have 

 added such a chronology of the island as I have been able to collect." 

 The geology, botany, history, literature, and natural beauty of the island 

 is each considered in its turn.
