he1 mother had written the letter. the
children heard the little babe CRYING.
and. as the mothers voice was not heard.
one of them went, to see what was the
matter, and found the mother dead in bed,
with the child clasped in her arms. This
left the care Of five small children TO this
girl of fifteen years, and she asked her
father what she should do. As he had
good situation here, he decided to have
them come.
The little nurse started with her charge.
She knew nothing Of travelling and conse-
ouently her difficulties were many. When
one or two days out on the ocean the babe
took sick. and all the others were more or
less seasick. As the child grew worse,
she applied to the physician for medicine.
He ordered her to give the child warm
bath each morning. She went to the cook
for the warm water, only to be gruffiy or
dered of with the remark that he had NO
time to trouble with the matter. Repeated
attempts proved no better, and being too
timid to apply to others for aid, she could
do nothing for the little sufferer. New
York was reached at last, ano sne tnoughs
