AN ESCAPE. — Yesterday afternoon three boys and a little girl named Minnie Jordan, daughter of a bricklayer living in Greater St. Andrew's-street, Seven Dials, were sitting upon the parapet of the Thames Embankment, between Waterloo and Hungerford Bridges, when a sudden gust of wind blew one of the boys onto the pavement and the girl into the river. A cry for help was raised, and a gentleman who was passing slipped the collar from his Newfoundland dog, lifted up the animal, and cooly dropped him into the water. The child at that moment rose to the surface, and the sagacious brute turned his head in her direction, seized her by the collar of her cape, and directed by his master, swam with his little burden to the adjacent stairs. The gentleman called a cab, placed the child in it, and drove off to the Endell-street Baths, whence the girl was taken home little the worse for her immmersion. The owner of the dog refused to give his name, but observed that the dog's name was "Ready."
