SWAM NIAGARA FALLS.
An eighteen-year-old youth was recently placed under arrest for “vagrancy and unlawfully swimming the Niagara River.” It is alleged that he plunged unclothed into the roaring torrents below and swam the rapids. He was swept twice around the whirlpool, and finally emerged into the calmer waters on the Canadian side after two and a half hours in the water. It is asserted that he is the first person to swim the rapids of the Niagara gorge and reach the shore alive.
