OTTAWA GIRL WRITES

of her safety from the food which re-
Gently swept that city, Miss FoS
wrote under date of the 18th in sub
stance as follows:
THE town is simply a wreck. A
great wall of water just came down
and then went down to the depot. 1t
it did not touch us, for which we are
very thankful. All the streets are
literally torn up, and one can hardly
drive a car around anywhere. We did
not know that anything serious had
happened until the next morning.
This morning we went to mass
an dthen went down to the depot. II
is just pitiful the way the water tore
up the streets. The river has gone
down almost to the banks. The food
was caused by a cloud-burst up in the
mountains north of the city, and as
the water rushed down into the low
lands it carried everything before it,
houses, animals and everything that
would move The death toll so far is
reported as forty-five, but it is feared
that it will finally run up into the hun
dreds The city is under martial law
at The preesnt time"
