THE ACORN 19 tt-Certainly, Mr. Ke, came the reply from across the depths. uCertainly. Ilm right in the rescuing business tonight. Tin pails and people, it doesnlt matter, It was a profitable evening for Mr. Key for he spent the better part of it fishing for household articles that floated past his house, gathering a nice assortv ment of goods. It is an ill wind that blows nobody good? A great many interesting sights were missed. owing to the fact that the water was too deep to wade or too swift to swim. It must be added, however, that during the days that streets were designated as nsm:h4!.nd-such canalf' people had no desire to go sight seeing, because in the Erst place it meant using a boat that might otherwise be in use for rescue work, and in the second place; the sights were too horrible to visit voluntarily, and in the third place there was too much doing at each individual house in caring for those who were homeless. By the end of the flrst week, people had become accustomed to hearing, in reply to the question, ilHow did you fare ?l, lth, better than some. We lost all of our household goods, but we are all alive.n It is heart-breaking to go over the sections, now barren wastes, that were such a short time ago thickly populated districts. Occasionally a twisted pump protruding from the cobble stones pro- claims that some sort of building has rested there, but there is no stick to bear out the story. Where have these houses gone P you may ask. Many of them were frame, and when swept against bridges, were utterly demolished, and the timber may be found, scattered far down the river, along with the other wreckage. a ELEANOR ROGERS, 1913.
