Bernard Maginn, the boy that started on the Tycoon for
Pittsburg, but was put off at Evansville, had a narrow escape from death. The boat arrived at Evansville during the
night time; young Maginn, half awake, was getting off the boat, but fell into
the river. He went under the water and
caught the wheel at it was revolving. He
clung fast and made two revolutions and a half, which singular enough was done,
and he got out uninjured. – Cin. Com., 21st.
