WILLIAM TELL ESCAPE FROM GESSLER
Tell was being carried in Gessler's boat to the dungeon in the castle at Kussnacht when a storm broke on Lake Lucerne, and the guards were afraid that their boat would sink. They begged Gessler to remove Tell's shackles so that he could take the helm and save them. Gessler gave in, but Tell steered the boat to a rocky place and leaped out.
