Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Juvenile Instructor: An Illustrated Magazine Published Semi-Monthly, Designed Expressly for the Education and Elevation of the Young Grasping two in his arms the father started also for the place of refuge. Still another two did the mother bring children to the high ground. Now only the baby in the cradle remained, it being left, till last because it would not be as easily frightened as the older children would. The father returned for it, but before he could reach the house through the first deepening flood, the cradle with the eat on the lookout and the precious baby, and ballasted by the iron rockers, floated out of the door and headed for the current of the river. In vain the mother screamed and the father labored to catch the little ark, it gradually floated down the stream. With sorrowful hearts the parents sought a place of temporary refuge for themselves and little ones until the waters should abate. This being found Kreutzer turned his face towards the sea to find, if possible, some trace of his youngest born. For two days he followed the banks of the river examining every nook wherein the little craft might drift and scanning every piece of floating wood to see if it were a remnant of the cradle. When almost ready to give up the search in despair, he learned that a curious object had been seen floating down the stream the day before. This encouraged him to press forward, and in doing so his search was rewarded by finding his child safe and sound in the care of a bachelor captain of a Rhine vessel, who had picked up the little wanderer as it was floating seawards. The captain invited Kreutzer aboard his ship to ride up to his home, but before they reached the place of parting each was so pleased with the I it her that the captain had asked Kreutzer to move into one of his houses and take care of his lands, and his offer had been accepted. To-day Kreutzer is the special friend and trusted steward of the captain and is ever thankful for the overflow of the river which took the baby on a little journey, but brought him such good fortune.
