It was during the spring of the year. The weather had been rainy. and as a result the water in the lake was considerably high. The tiood gates leading into the Fox River had been closed in order that the government property situated there in the 'alley might not, be harmed by the risingr water. One morning a north wind. not exceedingly strong. caused the rater to be- come rough. Later in the morning a large wave rolled in from the lake. Nothing eouhl stop it; the brealm'ater. the trees. and the house itself w all were helplessly defeated in an attempt to withstand the force of the rushingr water. Our cottage. though one of the largest in the Yit'illi- ty. was lifted up and carried back about twenty feet, where. luckily for us. a row of trees had been planted. The trees stopped the progress of the house, but wherever they came in eonteet with the roof they tore holes in it. The weight of the building: was naturally too great to allow it to Heat. consequently it sunk. XVhile thus sink- ing, the posts which had formed a support for the upper foundation. and which were now about twenty feet from the, original place, came through the 110012 The water rushed into the cot ' surroundings a seene of utter desolation. tage and practically everything: in it was ruined. A large piano was damaged so greatly that we thought the best thing we could do with it was to break it up. This was not the only valuable thing,r which was destroyed; furniture was spoiled. windows were broken, and many other useful articles demolished. After about twelve hours had passed. the wa- ter receded. leaving the cottage and the entire Logs, barrels. vans, in faet-every kind of trash had tioated into the .':ll'd und now eould be found sezlttered about. The following: morning when we 'ame to look at what was left of the cottage we were greatly surprised to see such a wreck. There was no time to be wasted. for the sooner thing's were repaired the sooner we, should be able to use the house. We hired a contractor from Fond du Lav to rebuild what was broken at, the cottage and place the building 011 a ee- ment foundation. While the contractor's men worked on the house, we became, busy and soon had the yard looking; fairly clean. We then pre- pared the garden; and in a surprisingly short period of time we, were able to move into the cottage. From then on we felt sure that if another Htidul wave visited the lake, it would not cause so much trouble as had the last one. e-J onN NILAND.
