Miss Vanc recovered slowly, but sureâ€" ly; the pallor on her face gaye place to the daintiest bloom. The time came when I saw that I could leave her in safety.

Almost immediately I recovered myself, and, seizing the sculls, rowed rapidly to the scene of the accident. It had been seen by the men at work in the fields; and in the next few minutes willing hands came to render assistance. In less than half an hour the news had reached Daintree, and there was no lack of help. Strong men soon set to work. Some of the unhappy passengers were drowned, and their bodies were not recovered for days; but those who remained in the earriages were rescued as quickly . as possible. Two or three men were taken out quite dead, and were laid in ghastly order on the green bank. The wounded were not a few.
