FROM OZELLO.
Thrilling Escape of Two Young
People During the Storm.

Ozello, Fla, Feb. 8, 1896.
The many friends of Mrs. c. Il.
Burt, now residing on St. Martins
River, will be surprised to hear of
the terrible experience of her two
children, Beulah and Clinton, dur
ing the storm which prevailed
Wednesday and Thursday night,
the oh inst
Miss Beulah Burt, having closed
the term of school at Fort Cooper,
where she had given every salts
faction as teacher, came with her
brother Clinton as far as Homo
sassa by private conveyance.
There, after paying social
calls, they proceeded without
thought of danger to take their
sail boat, and left for St. Martins
River.
1t was 5 o'clock before the boat
was ready. Then, with light
hearts and in the gayest of spirits,
these young people started and
sailed, as they say, quicker than
any one else ever did"
All seemed right until they
gained Greenleaf's Bay. Then
their danger suddenly dawned
upon them.
Clinton dared not risk the cross
ing of the bay, as he was on the
right side, opposite from any
house. Tney kept close to the
marsh, which was covered with
water, and here, amid the rain,
hail, bowling of the storm, and
raging of the sea, this brother and
sister spent the entire night in
their trail boat, praying for help
and protection as they had never
prayed before.
The lights from +. +. Wheel
cr's house they could see, and oc
Casonally some one moving about
Thcy shouted, but nothing could
be heard above the roar of the
wind.
Oh, the long and dreary hours
At last day dawncd, but with day
no succor, for the storm was worse
than ever; but the blessed light
was there to guide them, and Gin
ton managed to get to the new
road, which was cut a few years
ago by Mr.. Carroll, Then he anc
his sister, after making a fire with
one match he happened to have
and dry ing their outer clothin 6
walked knee deep in water, five
long weary miles through the
storm, and finally arrived at the
house of Mrs. I'd Moreton, where
they were cared tor, and every at
attention given them.
Friday morning they agair
started from Halls River in Mr.
Moreton's boat, theirs being left
to the mercy of the winds. They
found upon their arrival at Homo
sassa that Mrs. Burt and a party
of friends had come there an hour
before to make inquiry, never
dreaming that Beulah and Clinton
had ever left this place. Imagine
if you can their feelings when tolc
that the party had started Wed
nesday afternoon for home, and UP
20 that moment their fate was z
mystery.
The alarm had not had time tc
spread before the missing ones
