little while wondering what to.. do
next. A poor Chinese woman near
as, wet and shivering, was wailing
over the death of leer ehild. Others
who had been in the water wore sick
--nauseated by the water or chill,
We were soon led to a farm house—
dark, eomfortlese buildings of mad
where the people were even too poor
to buy rice, •
There we found the Captain and
his wife ---he almost goue from the
shock and chill. Misse Dale took
charge of him. and I lent hey sweater
coat to him and .my petticoat to his
wife. It was not a cold night, for-
tuuately, and we ourselves were not
wet, Indoors there was 'a fire built
on the mud door, around whleli .peo-
ple were - drying themselves, and
talking everlastingly in Chinese. We
preferred to remain outside, al-
though the crowd, of curious' specta-
tors drew close about us and made
us uncomfortable. They tried to be
kind—brought us ram eweet, pota-
toes to -eat, which they peeled for us
with their fingers.
It began to rain softly and we took
refuge under a sort of verandah.
The clouds were not very thick and
through them the moon shone $o
that we coulee everything with
clearness. We made a bed. on the
ground for the children, and the
rest of us took tarns holding the
baby or leaning against each other
trybag to sleep. I felt desperately
tired after the long strain, but I
coaldn't sleep. I either felt cold or
too uncomfortable.: We sometimes
went indoors to get warm, bue were
soon driven out by the smoke from
various sources. Some one found a
bed for the Captain .and his wife.

We bought a few oranges and
someone brought me a cooked pota-

so I vas not suffering from hunger.
We had no food for the baby and
tried to keep him asleep
About 3. o'clock, as Miss Dale and I
sat on her rescued. trunk, some fifty
soldiers arrived, coming up from the

happen next, The only available
small boat had been appropriated by
the firemen, who were on their way
to the shore.
The water whirled and boiled a-
round us and far out we saw the
Captain and his wife struggling in
the whirlpools as they were carried
down the river.

comforted us greatly. Also we were
all there—even the littlest of the
