rising tide until shout of terror from the
children showed the old boat afioat a couple
of hundred yards from the shore and rapidly
sinking.
The children's screams brought all the
women to the shore. and the ensuing scene
was maddening. There was no other boat at
hand and no men near. In less than ten
minutes the crazy boat filled and capsized,
leaving the children struggling in the water
For the majority the struggle was brief, as
one by one the G6tle heads were seen to dis
appear.
Tanored Pauras, aged seven, chung to the
boat, and some twenty yards from him was
seen, still struggling, the only other remain
ing child The boy left his refuge and swan
to the child, brought her back to the boat
and held on for an hour until the boat
drifted in 50 that the women could wade out
and bring in the children.
The names of the drowned are Alfred.
