I went and opened the door and there I saw rushing down the ravine a wall of water two feet high. When it struck the passage way into our house it came pour- ing in, covering the floor and rising rapidly. Mr. Paine 's people were living with us then and Mrs. Paine and her daughter Hattie were in the house. I told Mrs. Paine and Jennie to to get on the bed, which they did in a hurry. Hattie stood in the middle of the room and screamed, pulling her skirts higher and higher as the water arose. Tho...ugh the condition of things was serious we could not help laughing to see her watch anxiously the rising flood, —131— and hear her scream in her excitement till Frank Paine carried her ont. In the meantime I was fishing up snch things as I could and throwing them on the bed. 'Mrs. Paine and Jennie, thinking the water would fill the room and drown them, begged to go out to a tent we had pitched near the house. I caught little Stella up, wrapped a quilt around her and told them to come on. The water was then on a level with the top of the bed.
