Partially stunned by the fall and the sudden chill, slle was helpless and went to tho bottom. There were many spectators and many orders for someone to do'sometlling, but one man _ instantly saw what was to be done, and he did it. Pulling oil' his boots he plunged in, caught the lady and accompanied her to the bottom, for, like all drowning people, slle wound her arms around her rescuer, Being' a lady of considerable avoirdupols,| considerably over 200, it is not known what occurred ill the depths, but when they retllrned to the surface he had; her securely in his arms, ulld with’ his ullconscious burden he nlade forl the wharf. Help now calne froln the spectators on the wharf, wllo threw ropes, etc., and pulled the half-drowned lady and her reseller to safety on the wharf. Tile lady was ilnniedlately taken to the Prince (Yonnty llospital, where she soon recovered t'ronl her chilly bath. The nlan wllo did this gallant alld truly heroic deed was Mr I). A. l’urdy, an employee of the dredge Manoch, owned by the contractors for the (lar fcrry piers. That he saved the lady's life is unquestioned; tllat he risked lllui easily might have lost his own is. equally true. With the modesty that cllaracterises all real heroes, Mr Purdy declilled to discuss the matter, and this report was secured from all eye-witness. All wllo saw ills heroic, manly act nml knew this risk he ran, are lolul ill tllcir praises ami unhesitatingly declare that if ever a man earned a life-saver's reward, ho certainly did. Tile lady recovered quickly, little the worse for her plunge ill the ice-cold water, and the man who saved her life came to Charlottetown by the late express-also little the worse. ai- though with a ruined suit oi' clothes, but no doubt inwardly rejoicing that he had to his credit. the satisfaction of having saved a life.
