While the murderers were forcing
in the doors OF houses with their car
5ines, a poor Catholic family in the
neighborho0d OF these massacres, was
IN desperate situation False securi-
ty had hitherto made them neglect the
necessary precautions The unhappy
father did not perceive his error ill lis
house door was ierced through and
through by a shower Of musket balls.
The only means That remained to save
bis wife and numerous family from IN
evitablc destruction, was 10 escape
over the roofs ofthe houses. The mo
mcnls were precious the door was
already giving 20 the efforts Of the as
sailanls. Taking his youngest son in
his arms he climbed from lis own to
the next roof, followed by his tremb
ling wife with an infant at her breast,
and after her his four daughters But
this fight was soon interrupted by a
cross street. They already heard on
The ueighboring terraces, the furious
cries of their puF.ucrs--it was necessa
ry to venture the dangerous passage
over the street. The father inspired
with new strength, pulled plank
from the adding house, and laid ii
across the street. so that it rested on
the opposite roof, and offered narrow
insecure, bridge TO this unfortunate ia
mIy. But the imminent danger oil
falling was not the only one that theat
ened them the street which they had
to cross was that in which the shot, the
cause ofthc tumult, had been firel =
1t was full of furious Turks, whose
continual fire alarmed them But they
had not time to consider At last one
ofthc daughters ventilred on the mar
row board but at her first step hun
bred muskets were discharged at her
However she reached the opposite
roofs without injury, and her sister
who followed her was equally fortu-
nate. Meanwhile the rest of the ia
miIy were discovered by furious
Turks on the neighboring roofs, and a
shower of balls from that side also as
sailed the unhappy fugitives.-U Urged
by alarms from all quarters, they all
crowded at once on the frail bridge
which at first they thought would bard
ly support ore person. All the shots
were now directed TO the same point,
and pierced in many places the board
which bent underthelr weight Bot it
seemed as if Providence covered with
his bis egis this unhappy family;
not one was wounded; all II he'd the
opposite roofs, and thence the resi-
dence of an European family; where
the father exhausted by exertion, and
mental agitation, as soon as he found
himself in safety, tainted away.
