While the ferry wss still in motion and the Mate was in the act of warping her into the pier, a 'passenger in 8 hurry'tepped o(f and landed right in the mid- dle of the rapidly tightening bight of rope. In split seconds that noose would have crushed the msn'8 legs against the bind- ing post snd one who has seen that rope tighten can imagine the result. With the quickest kind of thinking. the Mate loosed the rope and the man stej)ped free. It all happened so quickly that the msn probably never re- alised the danger. The routine sct of warping in s ferry dsy in and day out is spt to become mechanical--the sct of throwing the rope be- comes an automatic movement. The Mate on this particular oc- casion could have been excused hsd he acted less quickly or be- come excited when the unex- pected happened to his routine. But this man's mind wss ready for the emergency snd he avert- ed what in my opinion would have been s terrible injury. The very matter-of-factness with which the Mate handled the thing made it seem easy, but to me standing within s foot or two, it wss s fine bit of work. C. J. BRODERICK.
