A PERILOUS VOYAGE.
CUAIII,ES lIURD
Those familiar with the lumber re,
gions, not only of the United il States,
but of Canada, know that the great
streams which float the huge rafts of
timber down to the 'vari-ous ports.
andmills along. their course are often,
made serviceable for other purposes.
Sometimes the lumberman or shingle
maker takes his family with him to
the scene of his winter's labors; and
.in the spring, when the season's work
is ended, places the M—women and
children, 'sbmetimes a round ilozen—
on a raft. of logs or shingles, anti'
keeping close to the shore, floats
down ten, twenty, or thirty miles., to
his hbme. The hunter, who has for
weeks.hunted and trapped in the vast
forests along the streams, binds his
package of furs togethe,r, makes him
self a conveyance h lashing half a
dozen 10!TS; firmly to each other, and
accomplishes his journey of a hun
dred or more miles in twenty-four
MEM
As a general thinfi, there is little
risk in such a journey. It' the 'weath
er is fair awl the river clear of float
ing lumber, I .ltere is hardly more
hinge'. than there would be in mak
, ng, the distance behind :t pair , of
farm horses -in a country wagon.
People, howe'rer, if the)' live in con
-Lint contact with danger. grow care
less in time, and oft... i n rill: their own
lives and thoz•e of others where there
is no apparent 'necessity. .
And so it happens ill the instance
I am about to relate.
John Allen was a well-to-do farmer
of Woodstock, on the St. John River,
and, besides the income derived from
his land and dairy, he owned, in con
nection with his on, a' tract of Wild
titnl,er, some dozen miles tip the riv
er. Beginnimr to turn its'ad vantages to
aecount in a small way, the two had
erecte`j a small . shiirde-mill near the
shore. awl kept halt' a diizen men at
work during the winter The result
the first year was so satisfactory that
it 'was 'resolved' to increase the-facili
ties of 'the manufacture. and, that 'it
might be done understandingly, they
determinedsto iisit the mill for a per
sonal examination.
They Were to have one o f the
farm-hands drive them up as. far as
they could get, with a team, and from
Unit point it was hardly more titan a
mile. Mote, than half the way the
road was merely a rough cart-track
through the woods, making the jour
ney rather a' tetlious one ; but :by
starting very early in the morning
they calculated to make all the nee
ess:iry - investi!*ation4 and get back
early in the afternoon.
This was the:, plan agreed upon.
and theAlme set' was the following
Saturday. As boon as it became
known in the hoiise„ the two young
est, bays, Harry and Jack, were wild
with exeiteinent. - .
" Mayn't we go, too' . ' they shout
ed in
. eoneert. •• l'ionsc. let us gel.
We never saw a shirp s de-mill." "
"A shingle-Mill isn't much to see,"
answered their lather.. "And, be
sides, you'll be getting into all sorts
of danger."
" Oh'. no, we won't. Well be so
careful if you'll let us go. It would
be such a nice ride!"
"Why- don't you let them f . ,- o, Fa
ther? " Said Sirs. Allen. " They
~ -.'on't take up inneh room, and they'll
enjoy it so mush.''
Well, well," said the farmer,
good-naturedly, ‘t let 'ern go, thei
ley 'cm go. I shall have to take th
.I,)iiile wagon if they go. though, an
1 1 hat's ikr enough ftir the whole fan
ill. '
"Why not _take the Whole family,
then ?" asked Mrs. Allen, half in
earnest. "l've hardly been out of
doors the' Is hole winter and spritcr,
and 1 should enjoy the ride as ) Ivell
t'a the boys."
Farmer .Men laughed.
"Any more who wants to go?
What would you do with the baby ?"
t‘ Take her,
of course. You don't
suppose weather like this would hurt
her? She needs the air as much :is
anyl rod y. ) "
" Are you reallydn earliest, Moth
er'''
Certa - inly. I don't see why you
cai't make a pli;asure-jatint ont of it
as well as a busines one. I hay n't
been so far away from home for five
-years, and I guess the house can Ot
along without me for half a• day.
"Becky can get dinner for the men at
110012, and we should `.get home by
two or three o'clock at the lateg."
So the mai,ter was settled. •
At seven o'clock the next Saturday
morning the whole party set out, all
in the highest possible spirits. In
numeraFie i.harges were len With

TOWANDA; BRADFORD COUNTY, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 8. 1876.
Becky as to what to do about dinner
and l how to dispose Or other house
hold duties, if they should not re
turn at the time expected: A huge
basket of lulled was placed under the
seat, much to the Satisfaction of liar
,ry and Jack, whO had been too much
excited in regard to the journey to
Fire; for breakfast.
At! was a?splenclid April morning,
and but for the brown: IoORS of the
field and thinly leaved trees; .would
havd seemed like June. The sun
shone and the birds sung and
everYthing seemed delightful. The
two I boys!, were constantly finding
something new to admire in! things
about them, and their. merry shouts.
ofted occasioned a sympathetic "coo"
on the part of the baby, whO stared
with her big round eyes at the com
monest objects as if they iVere the
mostkvonderful things in the' world.
It was after 11 o'clock when they
reacded the mill. The wagon. had
been left at the end of the .road, a
mile back, the horses taken 'Out, and
a bag of oats emptied upon the
ground fur them. They were both
steady-going old veterans, Used to
the harrow and ploW, and would
stan&just where they Were left hours
1
at a tdne. The fArnier however, had
taken! the precauti . on,i after putting
the la/idles in the wagon, to tie the
halter] to one of the wheels.
. Thd mill stood el4e down to the
water7s edge, and in (fr o nt and all
1
around it were . heaps lof blocks,, re
(fuse timber, logs, andshavings. It
was not a very roi l antic-looking
place, glut the children were delighted
with it. !
'file long ride had giVen theM all a
good appetite. A rough table was
made put of sonic boards, laid across
a couple of stumps, and the contents
the; big basket were soon placed
urn' it. Lunch linisluar i the farmer
and. his son began their investiga
tions, Iwhile airs. Alleui and the Elba
dren wandered about looking for ar
butus and gathering, pine-cones.
There - was mire to be looked after
about the mill than was expected,
and it was two o'clock before the Sob
was finished
- - -
So bnsy had they all been that the
gradual clouding !`up of the sky had
not bee;li . noticed, and it was not un
til the Sudden pattering of rain began
upon the leaves that the little Party
began Co look about them.
".It's nothing but an April show
er," said ToM. We 2 ,shall have to
get under the shelter Of the mill till
it passeS over."
Don't you believe it," returned
the fariner.
," We've had rain bang
ing roinid for a week past, andweve
got it nOw, sure enough. Do the best
we can,' , ; we shall he drenched. You
run on , ahead Tom, and put the
l •
.horses in, so as to be ready by ,the
time we get there. We'll be right
alter yo l u."
Obedient to his father's advice,
Tom hurried rapidly along the path
leadinu . to the spot where the . team
n
had been left, the remainder of
the part/ followed after as fast as
they could. The wagon was there,
the t,w( bridles lay just where they
were th'OlVD, but the horses were
gone.
For a moment the farmer stood
dumb-foHiled. Then he began to
examine their tracks.
It's Plain enough," at last he hur
riedly said, "They've slipped the
halter and have started hack home.
You'll liave to see if you can over,
take 'em, Tom. I'll .:iii - e your moth
er and the children back to the mill.
The win;l is raising, foul It is setting
in fOra •011, raw 14tlirlal."
i • ,
Till! 1 1 3111 Callle 1 . 3:4C11 and faster,
and by !the time :they had regained
the 'shelter of the milt they 'ere
thoroughly wet throughl A lire was
soon kindled in the little cracked
:stove used by the shingl l e-makers the
winter•b4)re, and the time spent in
waiting I : v.,r ' l'out's ratrn was ein
i
ployed hidrying their c other..
An ho l m passed away. The storm
gr6w mo 1: and more fer - icions. The
rale' poured down in tPrrents, and
the great tops of the pipe tree bent'
and writhed in the terrible gusts,
which became more and more fre
quent. The river, : w4s rapid ,and
strong, was 'row . t.kree, turbulent
stream, whose inithee citrrent moth-
Mg could cross in'saft. , ty i .

that something bad 'happened and

for that now."
At thiS Harry and Jack began to
cry, and Cven Mrs. Allen looked dis
mayed. ! .
'• Staying here to-night is out of
the question," , ,said Mrs. Allen. " We

" I should take the shingle-raft ly
ing there by the. landing. It! is
staunch and. strong, and just as safe
as any bOat that cver'lloated on the
St. Johit'S River."
Mrs. Allen had all a woman's
dread of! the water, and heir heart
sank'at!once. But the idea of heiiig
compelled to remain fortwo or three
i
days in
,that desolate s mt, without
food or a! chance to sloe .) was mote
dreadful !yet, and she felt most like
urging her husband to carry out the
desperate idea he had arnonneed—

thing 'very quick," echitinued :the!

"It storms fearfully; but then we're
prettfnigh as wet as we can be no . *.
[ believe we can keep hi-shore with
out much trouble, and at the rate the
stream is running 'no* we should
reach Woodstock in less than an
hour. I've done it in worse weather
than this."
• "I should n't be afraid myself"
said Tom," hut.then there's Mother
and the , iildren to think of." • •
"I'm not afraid, - Tom," said Mrs.
" And even if I were, I be
lieve it's the only thing we can do"
" We'll try it, then," said Mr.
len, decidedly. " Comes:Tom, we're
no time to lose. See if there is rolie
enough in the corner there for a coil
to throw ashore when we get to the,
landing at Woodstock, and put the
paddles aboard., Let mo take the
baby, Mother. Now, boys, jump on.
There's room enough tor a regiment" . ..
You'll have . to makeup your mind to
stand a 'gvod deal of water the next
hour. Push her off!"
The raft_ swung slowly around
from its fastenings, and in another
minute ;struck the shotc -current,
which, though less swift than in
•middle of the stream, was pat se%
strong :is to make safe navigation fi;
difficult task. The rain came with
such blinding force that it was almdSt
impossible to see the shore, and the
increasing, dusk threatened to gros
into total darkness before the end of
their perilous journey vas reached,:
It was barely three quarters of :lA,
hour from the time they left their
starting poi4lwhen the ratttouchert .
the landing-Place at WoodstOck; and
'rpm, rope in' hand, jumped' on shore
to hrow the loop over the post
had always ,stood there.
To his dismay, .the post was gone,'
and as the ; raft swept along lit felt
the rope slip through his fingers, in
spite of his endeavors to bold' it.
Thiire was another point., lower Gown,
where the raft might Strike, if his fa
ther could keep it out of the current
his single arm. Beyond that the
iver made a sindden bend, and if the
ending should be missed there no
(:iNver could keep them from going
down the river. • •
lle hurried' to the iuearest houses
of the village - and gave the alarm;

ran parallel with the river, to the
lower landing. Ile Was just in Lillie
to see his father spring from the raft,
holding the rope, and rushing in the
water up to his waist, caught hold to
assist. Their united strength bade
fair to bring the raft into, the eddy,
and the shouts of rapidly' advancing
men, who had been roused by Tom's
brief warning, gave them additional
energy, and the raft was slowly draw - -
ing to the shoth, when the rope sud
denly parted.
With a wild scream, the mother
rose, with the babe in her arms, as if
to plunge in the river. Then. seem
ing to remember the children ,who
clung to her garments, she sank down
again, and the next moment: the
fierce current had swept them awa'Y
in the darkness.
There was but one hope more. If
the ferry, five miles lower down, could
be reached in time, they might be
saved; and the itlmost distracted fa

N:ided by sympathizin! , friends, gal
loped there. Too late ! _The ferry
keeper had seen some black object
rush by in the darkness, and heard
cries for help, which he was unable
to give. They were in the hands of
God, and lie only could help them.
All that night Farmer Allen Flew

There was little sleep that night at

tle groups were abroad in the rain,
discussing, the sad event of the ore

a. stir in the direction of the,- little
telegraph otliee, and 'the operator,
who slept there, came rushing put
with a sealed envelop in his hand, in
a state of great excitement.
" Who'll carry this over to Farmer

" I. will ! 1 will !" exclaimed hair a

"Here's something for you," he
