withdraw when our attention was attracted
to what appeared to be a bundle of old
clothes lying in a corner Of the room; on
my drawing closer to this object il appeared
to move. In a moment Bell had flashed his
lantern on it, and there we saw with horror
stricken eyes what appeared to be the form
of a little old woman. AS we advanced
nearer to her she raised her head and spit
at us in wild fury of rage; at the same
moment we saw that she was bleeding terri
bly, from an ugly wound in her side. Again
we tried to approach her, but this time her
rage was something frighful to witness.
She shrieked and tore her hair from her
head in handfuls, while the blood spurted
from her side in stream.
