The road ran slong a height able' twelve feet below which was the river. The cart somehow was overturned and the whole party. fell into the water. Miss Shekleton and the "two. Chinese wanton found themselves struggling with the mules in the water but managed to get out, but Miss Brown was submerged in, the stream with. the cart over her anda full hour elapsed before sufficient assistance could: be: secured to: get her out. The Ohinese about were utterly callous and could not.be.tempted by. any sums offered them to lend aid. There wus: no hope of Vif when the: body was recovered: though every, moans was used. if perchance a flicker of life; remained. All the Europeans in this district feel the loss as that of 'a Glose personal fried. "Miss Brown was an elderly: lady,, possessed of.2 sound judgment and consummate tact. Gentle, kind, unselfish, full. of helpfulness, abundant in good works and, on every side, radiate ing'the sunshine of her Christian joy and Jove, she was beloved by all. Her_Joss: is not that of an ordinary worker but of one of mature experience and ripe Christian charnetér whose place must remain empty. Sad as we cannot but be at the sudden, unexpected call which has summoned home to God one whom we all esteemed and valued and whom we shall miss sorely, yet in remembrance of her readiness for the Ghisnge, our sorrow is chasteued,—she is "with the Lord."
