The hope was entertained by the crew
of the Potemkine that as soon as tho

THE BROKEN WHEEL.

The members of mission station,
in time of war, were forced to flee from
hostile surroundings. With their be-
longinSs packed in wagons, drawn by
slowmoving oxen, they escaped to the
forest, hoping to make their way over
long distance to point on the river
where, on certain afternoon, a small
steamer would touch at landing. 1t
was weary travelling, the roads We're
rough, and the plodding animals could
not be hastened. The little party anx-
iously counted the miles between each
sunrise and sunset, hoping and praying
that they might be in time. The last
day came, with goodly number Of
miles still to be covered, but not more
than they thought might be accom-
plished, when, suddenly, one of the
wagon wheels broke, crushed in such
a manner that further progress was
impossible.
Back somewhere on the road de-
serted blacksmith shop had been no
ticed, and they could only turn back
and with such skill and tools as they
could muster, repair the damage. The

darkness fell, and they could not reach
their destination. But when the NOR
row came, and, weary and disheart-
ened, they reached the river bank, the
first sight that greeted their eyes was
the steamer. Hindered by shifting
currents and sand bars, it also was
day late, and it speedily took the party
on board and bore them to safety.
Later it was learned that band of
ruffians had also been watching for
the boat, determined to murder every
refugee. They had waited far beyond
the usual time for its appearance, and
then gone sullenly away. The broken
wheels and contrary currents are often
