chat she had left for the Mormon settle
inent in San Bernardino, carrying every
thing with her. He started in pursuit by
the next steamer, and found his wife and
family at San Bernardino, with team all
packed up for Salt Lake. Hetried to per-
suade her to remain, but it was useless.
She threw herself upon his neck and wept
fervently, because he would not 90 with
her, but she refused to turn back. She
appeared to feel very badly at the idea of
leaving her husband among the Gentiies,
who, she believed were destined to be de-
stroyed by wars, famine and pestilence, and
told him ho would yet be glad to walk to
Salt Lake and beg for bread, as the whole
GENTLE race were doomed. She told him
! he would be starving here; but in the land
of the Saints there would be an abundance
of this worlds goods The husband, rather
| than go with her, turned back and left her
IN the company of those who succeeded in
imbuing her with such strange infat6a.
| ton He now hopes to go on to the lake
in the spring with the troops, rescue bor
and her family, and send her back to o2isr ilisir
