Dear Aunt Dorothy.

country last summer and how I got lost.
One Sunday my uncle, two cousins and
went to the seashore to find some pretty
shells. We took off our shoes and stock
1ngs so that we could wade in the water.
The wind had blown down lots Of trees,
and I could not climb over them as fast as
my cousins. The shore was very winding,
so I couldn't keep up. In little while
could not find them. I screamed for them,
but they did not hear me. tried to find
my way back. I went through marshes
and brambles and soon I came to mans
corn field and saw a house little way off.
My uncle and cousins got frightened when
they missed me, and searched for me ev-
eryWhere. Finally my uncle thought must
have fallen into the water, SO he pulled off
his clothes and went in to find me. Not
finding me there, he started back home. On
his way he passed the house where 1 wan
dered to, and he was as glad to see me as
l was to see him. ANNIE c..
