On the morning of Nov. 25, 1881, two men were walking to work along the North End waterfront when they saw something incongruous in the river, just off the foot of Everett Street .... It was a pair of bare legs, sticking straight up out of the river, tied together with a piece of wire. (Portland, Multnomah County; 1883) (For text and pictures, see 1910a.carrie-bradley-2of2.html)
