clothes from the oldest children.
He loaded mother and children in
the sleigh. covered them with bedding
and started for his sown house. Twice
the sleigh was overturned by violen:
gusts of wind. The first time Mr..
Brown urged the mother to try and
reach his house Immediately. She did
so, crawling much of the way on her
hands and knees.
He. having a second time loaded the
half dressed children. soon found them
again scattered upon the frozen snow,
with his sleigh broken. Covering the
youngest under a log. he started with
the two oldest on foot toward his
house Before he could reach the house
