While the car is on the ferry in

chance for escape. Throwing the
guard with the gun over his head,
Tom planted his feet firmly on the
accelerator and the gearshift and sent
the car hurting through the ferry

the car started Tom jumped.

Tom as hostage. Pearl thereupon in

One day as we were crossing the

in the middle of the water.
The tug broke, we were sinking in
the sand; we had the rack with some
heavy wood and iron on.
Guy got out in the river and hunted
for the tug. He found it and fixed it
on the harness. The next thing that
happened was when the singletree
was lost. We could not find it. Final
ly we had to hitch the other team on.
I was frightened. When we got

When papa was 8 years old he came

so restless that the woman told him
if he would say, Here she goes and
there she goes" for five minutes she
would give him a piece of money. So
when the FIVE minutes were up she
gave him a piece of money. 1t was
Scent piece.
He sent it to his grandmother in
Michigan. When my sister was
born she sent it back and papa gave
it to my sister.
When she got married she gave it
back to papa and he gave it to me.
Papa is s. years old now. This is a
true story.
