we sat in almost perfect silence for the next
hour aud IL hall with our feet dangling IN the
water, which was near two feet deep, listen
ing 10 the raging OF the elements outside
which were mukin roar worse than thou-
sand pieces OF artillery.
About four o'clock we could see the water
was beginning 10 recede, and In hileen min
utes 1t was all out OF the kitchen. l then
went into The house and got q lamp. My sis.
| ter made fire in the stove, and alter sweep
| ing out the sluSh and mud the best we could,
went into the house and got some chairs and
seated our parents by the fire. Before O'Clock
all the water had gone back Into the river,
We then went OUT TO the front and took a
view clinglng 10 the nearest thing at hand 70
keep the wind from blowing us over; The
force of the wind was nothing to what IT had
been, hut still with sufficient force 10 throw
a person down, And what u view met our
gaze, nothing but wreck and desolation on
every side, where before had been heavy, sub
stantially built wharves were only ieW piles
left where had been fine ship yard with
two marine railways and five or SIN shops
was dreary waste where had been piles OF
nicely piled lumber, hundreds OF cords oil
wood, elevated railroads and derrcks for car
rying the phosphate rock to and from the
drying Sheds-all was gone.
| The drying sheds were nearly completely
torn to pieces, and the boiler houses, etc
were wrecks. The drcdges, washers, lighters,
and tug boats were all, except one tug, the
Cecilia, high and dry on land, and ~ far
back TO the inland as the eye could reach was
nothing to be seen but fallen trees, parts OF
houses, ana WrtcKa8e ol every description.
As we turned our eyes to the spot where we
stood, we saw that the study and all In II was
com pletely gone, the room next to IT washed
out clean, even the mantle torn away. the pic.
lures torn from the walls. The mating tipped
up from the floor, and all washed away, and
as we were only able 10 find very few things
aiterward. either far or near. we suppose most
OF the things must have been swept back into
the sea on the swirl recedlng tide.
The front piazza gone, the roof split open al
the gable, and the whole front part OF the
house leaning way farward. with many OF the
pillars under the house gone, OF all the tenee
nothlng left but two posts out OF forty-eigh
chickens all gone but two out OF nineteen
fruit trees all down but four.

Moreover, the cart which carried her
carried also CHASTITY burden, the re-
mains of poor Pierre, which had been
found at the foot of the precipice and
which the sergeant thought might be
necessary for his later Investigations.
It was late in the afternoon when they
started, so that the sun was beginning to
throw long shadows through the noun
tains when they had reached the scene of
Pierre's death. When they had arrived
at the fatal ledge, the sergeant called to
them to stop. Then he pointed out to the
others the disposition of the ground and
made rough sketch Of the place, re-
marking to Robert, in voice Of casual
unconcern, which chilled his wife's heart:
