was intense during all the time Of rescue,
but the people worked heroically through
it all. Several persons distinguished
themselves by their noble efforts and risk

unfortunate fellow creatures. Hundreds

their services were no longer required at
their machines, they went to work where
they could do good. Many other cit
izens labored hard and faithfully, and the
ladies helped by carrying water and other
wise assisting. One of the most iu1pre-
ssive things We ever saw vas q woman,

surroundings, but with touch so ten

men was ministering unto him..
