have our clothes off. While we pre-
served our health, for which we are
thankful, I was pretty well exhausted
by the time I reached home. Jim,

experience and objected very much |
[to any complaint upon the part of

satisfied with the conditions.

one case a lady, who was in
iris with her two little girls, one
nine and the other six years of age,
wished to get togl.ondon, as we did,
nd came into the hotel] where we
were stopping the following day after
we arrived there and stated that
when she got to the station in
Paris she was shoved into a com-
partment of one coach and her chil
dren into a compartment of another |
coach and when she arrived at
channel she was pushed along with
the crowd onto the boat and sup-
posed that her children would be on]
the same boat, but when she got to
the other side and waited for the
people to disembark she found that
her childrtn were not on and it hap-
pened in some way that the coach
(her children were in was switched
out of the train somewhere between
Paris and Bologne and when we left
London she had not yet located her’
children. Of course, she was almost
out of her mind.
