immense weight, had no tooner placed their fore
feet opon the slip, than doubting its solidity, they
drew back, and all the coaxing of their keeper
cenld not induce them to venture to past tlong
it to tht boat. Finding it Impossible to over
come their obstinacy, the keeper drove the ani
mal down to the railway ' wharf, whert, feeing
fond of the water, fhey were easily Induced te
enter, and, goided by the keeper, who followed
the m in boat, they commenced the talk of
swimming to the opposite shore. In order that
the keeper might manage them the mere readily
they were fattened together by a rbain, about
ten feet long. On gettmgout fairly into the cnan-
ne, the tide wtt to ttrong tt to carry them ra
pidly down tht stream, in spite of the eflfortt of
tbt keeper to gaidt them toward tht Jertey

the animali appeared to bt rercorne either by

against the rapidity of the current, and the keeper
observed tbat Virginiut appeared to be sinking.
