9 80 or 10 p. N. the banks of the creek
began to overflow and soop the water
began coming into the house; the whole
bottom was q black and roaring body
of water; the rain Was pouring down in
torrents; the cloud overhung the sky
like velvet curtain and the thunder
was terrific. Mrs. Carey took one lit
tie boy, aged about nine, and Mrs.
WiIes' baby, but six weeks old, left
the house and started for the high
ground Reaching the gasden fence,
perhaps 100 feet from the house, she
found the current so strong tina. she
could not keep her footing. Her clothes
became entangled in barb wire fence.
Fortunately she was at the foot of q
tree. Helping the boy to climb the
treo she handed him the baby to bold
a moment. The waters we're raging
all about her and were rapidly rising.
She must act quickly. With great
presence of mind she disengaged herself
by tearing her dress from her person,
and swung herself into the tree. As
sisting the boy to climb further up she
took the baby and held it and herself
by one foot and one hand to that sway
tree for three loug hours and till res

brought her and the children away. by
the aid of ropes. When the men
reached her she SAID, "ssve the baby
first" The heroism Of this noble lit
tie woman woman who thus saved these
children-the children of anOtber-ds-
serves to be mentioned IN song
