pg 134

    There was brought from the flood on Wednesday Mrs. James Cassidy and
her three children.  Mrs. Cassidy was grief-stricken over the report of the
death of her husband by drowning.  Even as she was being registered there
was brought into headquarters a man who had to be held up and who was very wet.

    "Jim!" shrieked the woman. "That's you-it's you-you aren't dead!"

     Jim had been rescued from drowning.  His return was the one bit of
joy in the awful gloom at the rescue headquarters, where gathered the
victims of flood, fire, and famine.
