While the steam boat Wm. Avery was lying at the wharf at Ogdensburgh, the engineer, Mr. Stebbins, discovered a boy in the water in the act of sinking, he immediately plunged into the river and succeeded in rescuing him. On being brought to the shore he said another boy had sunk, upon which Mr. Stebbins made a second plunge, and swimming to a certain distance with a pole in his hand, he placed it down and discovered that bubbles arose to the surface. On removing the pole, the body of the boy came up and was removed insensible to the shore. By proper remedies he was speedily recovered, and no words can paint the joy he exhibited on being brought as it were to life, and saw again his companion, whom he thought had sunk with him to rise no more.
