them ali from wanting sleep, and Thomas
and his wife had enough to think about to
make plans for the future.
Nv.
Instead OF the storm which the preced-
ing day foretold, the morning broke clesf
and cold. 1t was good November weather.
Thomas emerged from the ox-shed very
early, to find way Of taking care OF his
family that day.
Looking over the bay, he saw small
boat which he knew at once, for there
was but one other anywhere on that coast
besides his own. As it neared the shore,
he went down to meet it, and Daniel Colt
jumped out and asked many questions
how the house caught, what they did last
night, and what they were going to do.
On rising early that morning to go out
birding, Daniel had seen the glow, smelted
smoke and had rowed over from the island
instead OF going hunting. On hearing
voices, Mrs. Richardson and the children
came out, and Mr.. Colt said: "You must
come over on our island and get some
breakfast, and then, after resting, you will
be better able to plan."
So glad to find some chance OF eating
and resting, they all went down to the
boat and over to the island (now Gott's).
Mrs. Gott was amazed, and could hardly
get the food together from asking
questions. "And were the provisions all
burned, Mary. and our stock none too
large nowf"
Gan burned, dearl But when think
of the children being saved, we ought
not to complain. There will be some way
provided, since he has brought as thus
far"
While the women were trying to make
! the best OF it in the house, the men ct the
shore also had planned.
s.Tom, you are welcome to come In with
us for the winter. Our room Ii not large,
but it 10 better than nothing. and birding

for our interests, and have mind to &C

new log hut at Bass HSrbor was suitable
for habitation.
The Colts, 90 well as the two Richard
son families, gave them share OF their
small stock Of dishes, for in those days it
didn't take a. much to start housekeeping
as it does in the twentieth century, and
then summer was coming and they could
do without many things which were
necessities In winter.

Refused 1t is TOO late to cut logs for new
cabin now, besides, our household goods,
such as they were, are all gone, together
with the vegetables and all those groceries
from the vessel"
"Weil, then, Tom, don't worry, and
we will 20 to the house and see what
the women have planned
They found the table spread with q
bountifui breakfast OF potatoes baked in
the ashes, some cold meat, and corn-cake
and molasses. After the first pangs OF
hunger were satisfied, Mr.. Colt told of
the plans he had made for the housing OF
both families, and it seemed the women
had talked along the same lines, while
getting breakfast. So It was agreed,
and the remainder Of the day was well
spent, for new berths must be added
and many other things changed to
accommodate the enlarged family.
As long as the weather continued mod
erately warm, the men dug CLAIMS to eat
and to use for bait in fishing, and the sea
birds made great addition to their stock
OF food, but there were many mouths to
feed and the outdoor life was conducive
to good appetites and robust health.
So, a. the rougher days Of winter came
on, the beef grew less and less, the fish
were harder to get, and although there
were some birds to DO seem, their stock Of
ammunition had given out. There were
potatoes enough, but as the days went by
and no one near9d the island, the two
sturdy men knew that something uust
be done very soon. Getting plenty Of
wood together and making their families
a. comfortable as possible, one bright,
cold morning, they took small quantity
Of potatoes, some water, and their guns,
and started out to find ammunition.
The days went by at first with good
cheer, for were the men not coming soonf
and then they would once more be having
something with their potatoes and meal.
But after few days . storm came up, and
then it cleared on cold, and the ice began
to make round the shores, until finally no
boat could break through it. The store OF
food grew smaller day by day. The chill
dren begged and begged for something
appetizing with the bare potatoes, but
nothing could be had, for they were on
small island surrounded by ice, and no
boat or man.
So, every night as the women went to
bed, they prayed that the morn would see
the ice broken away from the shores, that
their husbands, il they were living, could
get to the island. Day after day passed,
and still the ice held, but an easteriy
storm came at last and broke up the ice
and there was an open sea at last. One
bright morning soon after, Mrs. dott said:
"Mary, Daniel and Thomas must get here
now il they are living"
~ think 90, too" said Mrs. Richardson,
"for three days have passed since the ice
broke up, and it seems that is time. They
must think we are worried - well as
hungry; 30 let us hope for the best and
watch out for every speck on the water"
The bright winter day was nearing its
close, the sun casting long shadows over
the snow covered island, when little Tom
came running into the hut, full Of ex-

element, crying, ~ see something
that looks like boat way off"
OF course both women ran to the door,
and there, sure enough, was something,
and what else could it be but the boat?
1t was not from the direction Of Bass Har-
Dor, and who could it be II not their hus-
bands?
Back they went into the cabin and put
on more wood, and little Tom and the
others brought more from the wood pile,
because whoever it was, would be cold
and tired. Some little time was used up
in this way, and then all went to the
shore. 1t was indeed Thomas and Daniel,
safely returned after days and days OF
Watching and waiting, and just as the sun
sank below the horizon, Thomas put his
foot on shore. They brought with them
several birds, both sea ducks and par
tridges, . good quantity OF fish, rabbits
and ammunition.
This was to them not unlike the win
ter of 16O9-10, known as the starving time,
! when Lord Delaware at last came and
saved the people of Jamestown from ruin,
and their fasting was turned to feasting.
80 also did these people. 1t did not take
long to prepare one OF the fish and cook
it, and while the supper was cooking, the
men told what they had endured.
They did well fishing on first leaving
home, and reached a harbor with few
inha bitants before the storm came. While
the ice was enclosing the land, they got
ammunition OF settlers and improved
every minute, shooting birds and rabbits.
But as time passed on they became anx-
ious for the families back ON the desolate
island, and when the first day came with
out ice or storm, they made haste to get
home.
History fails to tell what harbor the
men were in. None was the worse on for
having endured the hardships and
hunger; but - Mary said while she sat
near the fire that night and watched the
faces in its light: ''God has brought US
safely through another crisis, and shall
keep ON trusting till de-"
