hands, and rocks over arch. The walls
are nearly perpendicular of solid rock
The ravine grows narrower as the
stream reaches MIiddlebury The
pounding of the water on those rocks
is heard several hundred feet above in
the mountain road over which all traf-
tic passes.
Through this frightful place little
Bertha fled like a frightened fawn
Carrying with her her little sun bonnet
and apron, she leaped from boulder to
boulder, taking moss and ferns in her
clutch and leaving behind shredS of her
torn clothes She must have waded
waist-deep in the swift current that
stout men shrank to think of and again
climbed the jagged rocks from which
she lost her hold and was dashed into
the seething waters below
The men had previously agreed that
one rifle shot should tell if signs of the
child were found This having been
done, men were running up and down
the mountain side from all directions,
Centering in the vicinity of the river.
Now the second shot was fired which
told them that she was alive, but ere a
feeling of gladness was realized the
third one sounded forth which said
that life was extinct.
One man thinking he saw limb
whose moss had been removed reached
for it and there found her wet clothes.
A few moments told the story for there
lay little Bertha ID rods below in the
cold water that had received her life
less form She was lying head down
stream in sandy shallow.
How was the little body to be taken
out of that dreadful ravine
My father and Mr.. Sanford waited
for more help to come then one of
them took the little form in his arms
while a man on either side clasped his
arms thus making a double chain that
reached to the mountain road which
was one hundred rods above the river
The ascent was nearly perpendicular
and it was necessary for each mal to
pull up the one below him. In this
manner the little body was taken to
the public highway where a team met
them and bore it to the home Of the
distracted parents
The funeral was held the following
Sabbath in the large yard near the
house. People came from far and near
from both sympathy and curiosity.
In the history of the town, old peo
pie remarked there had nothing so ter
rible ever happened.

saying, at was the greatest honor OF
my long experience This letter the
commander of the Majestic will re-
ceive on returning from his voyage
to England-during which, it may be
mentioned, the Majestic with new
propellers put on at Boston, made
2415 knots an hour, a speed equal

The monster ship is nearly fifth

Captain Rockwell when Commodore
Hayes took him up to the great lin

The accompanying illustration show

Hayes gives some idea of the cordial
reception the distinguished British
captain gave the veteran from Lake

THE LOST CHILD
A True Story That Forms One of the
Saddest Pages of Ripton's History
RI, Elizaheth Snnnr Shamnnnr

BY Elizabeth SpOor Shampeny
One cloudy afternoon in July, 1879,
in the town OF Ripton Vermont,
little girl, named Bertha Goodyear,
was sent with her sister TWO years
older to a neighbor's on an GRAND
They reached the neighbours in safety
and started on the return with the
parcel for their mother After going a
short way, the two sisters devised the
scheme of parting company, one taking
foot path and the other keeping the
road.
Little Bertha six years old, of whom
our tale is told, took the path thinking
to reach home first. She was a bright,
active child and more venturesome
than the little sister and DOUBTLESS,
bent on winning, made haste so rapidly
that she was unconscious of having
left the path until she had wandered
into the thick wood by way of an old
log road which crossed the foot path.
The sister reached home first and
not finding Bertha a search was at
once started Darkness soon settled
down and the frantic parents, realizing
that their efforts were in vain, called
for help.
Being young girl myself, | have
never forgotten the horror that sound
ed on the midnight hours when a
neighbor came to our home and awak-
ened my father, telling him that little
Bertha Goodyear is lost and they want
every man in town to start at once
and help to find her for the bears will
get her if something isn't done right
away.
1t is needless to say that my father
fastened to the rescue where 80 or
more men had already assembled on
Miller's hill, north of the little village
of Ripton Hollow, near her home.
I Middlebury river is composed of two
tributaries; known as the North and
South Branches One of these branches
starts in the east part OF the town OF
Ripton and the other in the north part
The neighbors's house to which the
children went was situated on the
North Branch at a place called Sci
don's mill From here the river run,
in a southerly direction until it uniteS
with the South Branch a little east Of
what is known as big Bend" Where
the two streams unite, the river is filled
with immense boulders.
1t was at this point that Mr. H B
Ripley called a halt and said, Gentle
men: There is no use continuing thi,
search until daylight for the child is
probably, asleep in the bushes So tn,
halt was made and my father, H.
Spoor and Ozias Sanford, then o
Cornwall, VT, lay down on the river
bank and waited for the daylight
At the first appearance Of dawn, they
renewed the search, looking for track
along the river banks. Something
seemed to tell Mr. Sanford that tn
little wanderer had probably followed
; the setting sun.
Her little bare footprints were sool
found leading toward the stream. Blu
imagine the horror when these me-
realized that she must have gone int
that terrible ravine that old fishermen
spoke of as impossible
