Frances behind In another minute, after
she left the window. she heard the ice
slide from the roof She rushed to the
window and saw Frances. but Eleanor
was not in sight. Miss Adams jumped
through the window and found Eleanor
under a cake of ice about two feet wide
by three feet long and about two and
half feet thick.
As she was unable to lift the ice from
the child she sent Frances for her mother.
BY peering under the ice Miss Adams
could see that Eleanor was face down

pull the child out. Eleanor was limp, but
not unconscious.

that no bones We're broken, but that there
were bruises on the child's back, although
it is not believed that her spine IS injured.
