Pe,ilous Situaton.-During the late violent gale
and tide, Mrs. Caldwell, poor woman, who with four
or five children lived in miserable shanty at small
island near the end of Coney Island, found her little
home suddenly surrounded with water. The gale
soon took away the roof of her house, and the tide
swept away the house itself.
She despatched her two boys for boat, and they
with man near the spot to take off the woman
and two small children, but the strength of the wind
drove them from the shore, and they could not APP
proach the island In this fearful dilemma the woman
tied wagon to a tree and herself children and dog,
got into the wagon. Every tree around her except
the one to which the wagon was tied, was washed up
by the force of the water, but the little company on
the wagon were thus saved.
