    reading the "News Paper" on hearing this awful news he quickly rushed to the lake flinging his clothes of him as he ran along. When he reached the lake he jumped in and dashed against the waters in the direction of his brother and his drowning son, as he went along he heard his beloved son shout "I am in a house".
    In a very short time the boy became lifeless and his grief stricken Uncle lifted him up on his foot while his father clung to the end of the boat unable to move from shock.
