companions to the house of Mews. Milledge, at Creech,
where every kindnese and attention woe shown them, sad
nomelehment sparingly and judiciously administered.
" We visited the man and boy on Saturday afternoon,
they having been on the previous day removed from Creech
to their own nnideuces, the cite near Beadle, the other at
Stobotorts. Upon asking Wooltries what wen his lest
impressiene when be found himself thus suddenly shot up,
he said, ' I thought I shm!d die. I had met with malty_

We had noddle to est, end only two bits of rads e' eandle.
The Lae we were in reached almost thirty lest, and I
think a little south east, it did dip down south, and
there the water roe. Then there was another lace that

to welkin as wall as we could up times two Imes, the
wed one being the driest. Booutimen we did lie down
a bit, but were so cold when we fell asleep, that we
stood so long awe rioted. I could not drink the water,
but the boy went dews twice to it end drook—'twas ao

we bawd them making the lane we were In hopes, and
we began to Mock to tell 'eat the dirsotre. We lknow'd

as we could. Afterwards when we bar dm teem b.ck
to the old way, I said to tho boy, . There, sow they be right
