NYS506. Geo. Barker, Niagara Falls. Conroy the Guide, Dressing Room, Shadow of the Rock. In 1874, Mr. William McCullough, while at work painting the small bridge between the first and second Moss Island, missed his footing and fell into the middle of the channel; he was carried down the current and, going over a ledge into more quiet water, got on his feet and waded to a small rock projecting above the water, upon which he seated himself to collect his senses and await results. After several vain attempts to get a rope to him, Mr. Thomas Conroy, a guide, then connected with the Cave of the Winds, who had in the previous autumn conducted Professor Tyndall up to Tyndall’s Rock, put on a pair of felt shoes, and holding to an inch rope, picked his way with a hiking staff, from a point a short distance upstream, through favoring eddies and pools to McCullough. After a short rest, he put the rope around McCullough, under his arms, and winding the end around his own right arm, the two started shoreward. On reaching the deep water near the shore, both were taken off their feet, and as the people pulled vigorously at the rope, their heads went under for a short distance, but they were safely landed. A contribution was taken up for Conroy’s benefit, and Professor Tyndall, on hearing of the rescue, sent him a five pound note. E. $125
