THE ROSEDALE IN TROUBLE.

Capt. Crangall, Toronto, part owner of the steamer Rosedale, and outside manager for the company owning the line of steamers of which the Rosedale is one, is in the city superintending repairs to some of the steamer's machinery, which are being made at the locomotive works. In running down Lake Ontario the connecting rod of the steamer's machinery was broken. Temporary repairs were made, and the steamer proceeded on down to Prescott, where the broken parts were taken out and sent to this city to be repaired. It will take until Saturday to complete the work, and meanwhile it is expected the steamer will make this port to receive the parts now being repaired.

Captains Crangall and Geoghegan are old friends, and meeting last evening they exchanged reminiscences of bye gone days. Among other incidents recalled was the saving of Capt. Crangall's life by Capt. Geoghegan. It happened forty-two years ago. Capt. Crangall accidentally fell into the water from a vessel lying at the foot of Clarence street, where he was taking on a cargo. Capt. Geoghegan, then quite a young man, witnessed the accident and hastened to the rescue, getting Capt. Crangall out of the water with considerable difficulty. Capt. Geoghegan never received recognition from any of the humane societies for his brave deed.
