About four yeara ago tha propeller Buckeye, belong ing to the Northern Transportation Com pany went down iu the river St. Law rence, in seventy-eight feet of water, aud it was known that a mother aud child were asleep in their state room, at time of lier sinkim;. The father beireed of me and offered me a good deal of money to take out the corpses, and though I dread Mi the work, I at lust consented. I had been all over the wreck two or three limis and knew jusl where tho stateroom Was. i he door was fast locked, and I waited a while before bursting it open. Of course, a dead person couldn't barm you, but even in bio. id day, on shore, and wi:h people aruuiid you, d ni'i you know that the sight and presence of a dead per son fefingTup sol in a though, s aud ner vous feelings ? T knew bow they would look, how they were floating aronrol in the room, and if the father hidu't been look big so wretched nbove, there was no money to tempt me in there. But; at last I got a crowbar from forwards, and, not letting myself think, gave the light door a blow that stove it in. The' water came rushing out, the Vessel just then lnic .-i .I over toward my side, and out they cam", the woman tirst, her eyes wide open and hair trailing behind, and in ber left hand Mtts hMd'tlle haitrTef fli: cli Id."
