He SAYS:
ut is estimated that over 1000 persons
We're drowned by the overflow of the MINI
sand Ages as it is called, was broken
in two places. Those who attempted TO
cross were never seen again. One of the
most wretehed conditions was that they
did not like to leave their floating homes
because robbers would come and carry off
everything of value. Some one would al
ways go with the house when 1T fell or
fioated away After the flood the officials
raised about 5000 and the missionaries
81 600 to help the sufferers.
Although at present We go wherever
