Dr. Carroll and Mr. Wm, Tolles were hailed, and the party started upon the ice in the direction of the faint calis for assistance. A young man by the name of Benedict was found struggling in the water and ice, and was speedily rescued from his perilous position. He had been in the water about half an hour, and when brought to the engine room of the bowl mili was almost insensible. Had the faithful dog net heard his faint cry the man would certainly have been drowned. ïhe captain has every reasoh to beproud of his dog. - Ludington Demoorat.
