The husband, who was left alone in the house, got to land on some boards, part of the wreck of the house, and expected to find his family safe; what must have been his feelings when he found they had all perished in the deep! We felt truly prepared to sympathise with them, and think they were sensible of our visit being in the sincere love of the Gospel.

Their kindness towards us exceeded description.

In going from house to house, one of them seeing us in the field, and not knowing our errand, thought we had missed our way, and came running almost out of breath to set us in the road.

When he found that our visit was intended to him, he seemed overjoyed, and conducted us to his home and his interesting wife.

His name is Friedrich Fockensllammen.
