Excerpt from The Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 24: May 15, 1889 The sun darted his fierce rays at us and we shrank from his gaze. It seemed as though we would perish but our clothing, which had also become hard, protected us from the fierce heat. We waited wondering what was to become Of us, but soon the bundles that we formed were taken and packed tightly together where neither sun nor air could reach us and again we were left. Here we remained for some time shedding tears Of grief over the sad fate that had overtaken us and wondering whether we should be allowed to remain there and grieve ourselves away.
