THE DAWSON JOURNAL IH. CARVER ON ARCHERY. Wliat tire Groat Rifle Shot Says of tire Cso of the Bow amt Arrow. ‘ You see,” eaid Dr. Carver, as ho deposited a whole sheaf of brightly feathered airows on a table, tock otf his uuiOrageous felt, and drew up a “h. ir, “I must be shooting something or other all the time. If it isn’t a Winchester it’s a bow and arrow.— Pretty, they Hut most too fine! Fancy things, theae arrows, for hund sorne young ladies to shoot on grass plats at straw targets. Now, an In dian arrow is a good b>t longer, inav* be thirty two inches—and when a Sioux draws it chock up to the bow it fairly hums when he lots it fly. AN INDIAN ARROW Has grooves cut in it behind the barh, that is to say the ones they use in hunting, so that the blood car. flow, otherwise the wood would spoil and swell. The fighting anows are r.asty things. The barb is so put on tho shaft that when it hits you the steel, or old hoop iron, stays in Ihe flesh when you go to pull out tho arrow. Dear sakes, what ugly wounds I have seen them make! An Indian hoy be gins to handle a light bow when he toddles, maybe at 4or 5 yerr. His bow is talier than he is. He shoots at most anything around the camp. W T hen he is 12 he uses sharp arrows. A boy must be stiong at 18 to use a man’s bow. Now, a white man who takes an Indian bow for the first time has ali he can do to bend it. It wants 6ome strength, hut more knack. Tne bow is made straight. When it is fttiung, the cord, even when in ten sion, almost touches the bow. It is thick, totr.e to 5 feet long—that is thiir hunting how—and lias extra stffening by having sinews pasted on it. I have seen We-shessa-has-ks, that’s the Long Man, and lie was the best of the Ogala Sioux, kill an ante lope with his arrow at 125 measured yards. We-shessa has-ka was nearly 7 feet tall, and a erood Indian. Ou horseback, broad side to a buffdo, I have more than once known that In dian to iENb AN AUKOW TUROUOn A BIG COW. The airow hung out on the other side. The boW for horseback and lor war is a trifla shorter and maybe stiffer. You do not draw the arrow to the eye, but Catch aim as Ido when shooting from the hip. That can on ly be mquired by long practice. The string is drawn by the clutch of the whole fingers, though some of the tribes use the thumb and three fin gers. The long man could shoot an arrow in the air out of sight, and so can I (the Doctor pointed to an arrow buried up to the feather in tho ceiling of our office, his own peculiar orna mentation of tfto Forest and Stream sanctum), I think that in a couple of months I could get Into perfect practice, for I used to hold my own with any Indian on tho plains. Some times alter I had been shooting with n,y Winchester, an Indian would come up and show his bow, at and tell me bis bow was ‘mucheo good; but then I used to take his oWn bow and beat him at it. ‘"To pass away the time when 1 was at the Brooklyn Driving Paik, I bought me AN fcXGtISU BOW AND ARROW'S. Of Holberton, and soon gat into tho tiick of it. I hit blocks of wood thrown into the air quite as often as I missed them. The English bows aud arrows are fancy, but good. I would rather have an old Sioux one made of hickory or ash, but the boss bow I ever owned was made of Buffa lo ribs. An Indian carries his quiv er of arrows over bis right shoulder, [ so that he can get his arrows quickly. | \Vli6n he has discharged one arrow, the Doctor pronounces anow with a j single letter ; lie calls it an R. with the j same motion as he uses in pulling the | string he clutches another arrow. If he shoots one hundred yards he has ! three or four arrows in the air, all going at the same time. It’s great I fun shoo'ing at a bird with a long tail that flies over the prairie. Knock out his tail and his steering apparatus is gone. I have knocked the tail out of many a one, and so caught him in n:y bauds when h 6 tumbled. See here. Talking about these things just makes me long to be back again on the plains. New York is a migh ty good place, and I iiave made lots of frtends; but somehow I want a horse, and a big field with miles on DA II m\; GEORGIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 1878 . miles before me to gallop over, and buffalo just a showing on 'hedivide.” And here Dr. Carver siiut his eyes and seemed lost for a while in th< vis ions of rolling prairies in the iar-off Western wildernesss.— Forest and Stream.

A Bo.v Terribly Bitten While Bathing in tire East River - Figlitingfor Life in Mid-Stream \v th tin Eight Foot Monster.— How lie was Stunned by a Heavy Blow from a Stone Used as an Anchor. AVw York Sun. Thursday evening at 5 o’clock Char les Gates, aged fourteen, of 46 Pres -1 ident street Brooklyn, anil Arthur Cole, aged sixteen, of 96 Saokett street, had a rovel and oxciting encoun ter with a shark in Isast river. They had hired a boat at the foot of Colum. hia steet for the purpose of going] on a crab fishing expedition. They em baiked at 5 o’clock, and pulled slowly down the river until they reached tho breakwater between Columbia and I Ilicks streets. Here Gates remarked to his companion that ho would like to take a swim. Cole replied, “Ali right; peel off and i’ll remain in tho boat until you return.” Gates undressed, plunged into tho river, and swam several timos around the boat. Meanwhile Cole was engaged In at taching a rope to a large stone which he had on board, and which ho meant to use as an anchor after they began to fish. Cole’s attention was soon di veited fiom this work by a sudden and violent displacement of the water, which almost upset the boat. Almost simultaneously with the shock which was thus given him he was startled by the screams of hi#companion, who loudly called for help. Cole conclu ded that Gates had met with some accident, and was about to leap into the water wheu looking over the side of the boot, he saw his companion struggling with a shark. There was no time to Le lost. The cries of Gates were growing fainter and in a minute more . is life must have heon sac diced. Cole bi thought himself of the* primitive archer lie had heon in iking. He p'omply seized the stone and with all his strength hurled i. at tho shark. For tunately his aim was good, and the heavy stone strurck the shark on the head. Seemingly stunned by the blow for a second, the shark released his hold upon Gates. Cole seized this oppor tunity to oscue lii * friend, whose bleed ing and mangled body was about to sink. Colo lay to bis oars, and a few strokes brought him alongside of Gates, who was being swept along by the tide. He reached out lbs oar but the drowning boy was Unable to catch hold of it. At last a fortuuate wave brought the boat and Gates’ body close together, and Cole leaned over the side, and ceizing Gates by the bead > nd shouldor, and pulled him on boil’d. By th ; a time the shark had partial ly rocovoted and began to plunge vio lently about in the water. Theap'eech loss and almost lifeless Gates was place! in the bottom of the bout* and Cole again lay to bis oars, and pull ed with all bis strength in the direc tion of tho boat-house, from whence they bad started. Tho shark seemed to have lost its rckoning when it miss ed its victim, and after making divers mat oeuvres it disappeared. Ou reaching ttie sboie it was found that Gates was terribly lacerated. Ilis body seemed to bn bleeding at tvety porß. He was exhausted from loss of blood as well as the shock be had sus tained. An ambulance was sent for Dr. Cochran and an ambulance promply ariived at McOothry’s boat house, where the unfortunate boy had been p.ovided with a blanket aud otherwise temporarily cared far. After a cursory examination of | Gitos’ wounds the ambulance sur geon pronounced him to be in a most critical condition, and directed his im mediately r.tnoval to St. Pet t’s lies piial, at Hicks and Congress shouts. Here the wouuds wars closely exam ined by the resident surgeon. It was found that the hoy’s back and sides were tommy lacerated, and little if any hope is entertained of his teeov eiy. Cole, who is undo the hero of the hour by bis relaiives and noignbors is a lad ot qttijt demeanor, and has un usual intelligence for hisage. lie says that the shaik was at le st eight feet in length. “My son, hold up your ami tell me who was the fetiongest man?” “Jo- 1 nab.” “Why so?” Cause the whale couldn't liold him alter he’d got him down.” ■- • Destructive tornadoes with much loss of life and property have prevail ed recently ta tuc northern states.
