Before recovering he had several fits. He was eventually sent home
wrapped in blankets.--_Eastern Morning News_, December 13th, 1866.

Man Overboard.--About two o'clock on Saturday, whilst Mr. John
Ellerthorpe was busy at the Mytongate Bridge passing a vessel
through, he heard something splashing in the water, which he
thought was a dog. He called out to a lighterman, named George
Woolass and another man who were on board of the vessel, to bring a
boat and get the animal out. A boat was obtained, and the splashing
was found to be caused by a man who had fallen overboard. On
getting him out it was found he belonged to one of the fly-boats,
and had he remained many seconds more in the water he must have
been drowned.--_Hull Advertiser_, March 2nd, 1867.

[Sidenote: HIS EFFORTS IN THE WATCH-HOUSE.]

We have seen in several instances, that our friend, after having rescued
the drowning, remained with them until all fears of immediate death were
totally dissipated. Indeed his kindly ministrations in the watch-house
of the Humber Dock Company, have been scarcely less remarkable than his
exploits in saving the drowning from the water. In that room is the
'Royal Humane Society's apparatus for the recovery of persons apparently
drowned or dead, accompanied with directions for the proper treatment of
such cases.' And there our friend stood for hours together, in his wet
clothes, during the piercing cold of winter and the oppressive heat of
summer, endeavouring to restore suspended animation. He says, 'I always
felt very anxious about those I had rescued, and in dangerous cases
generally remained with them until they came round. By remaining in my
wet clothes on these occasions I have often seriously damaged my health;
but I felt so anxious about them that I often forgot altogether my own
wet state. Dr. Henry Gibson says I have seriously injured my
constitution by these long exposures in wet clothing, and I am afraid he
is right, and that it will shorten my days.'

[Sidenote: A REMARKABLE INSTANCE.]

We give one instance of his ministrations in this watch-house:--

About three o'clock on the morning of July the 23rd, 1865, he suddenly
awoke out of a profound sleep, and thought he heard a boy call out,
'There is a man overboard.' He sprang from his bed, threw up the window,
but not a person could he see, not a sound could he hear
