L56-3: Ourneighbour, the river

From an atticwindow we could get a sweeping view of the river where their land joined ours,and at the most critical juncture we took turns in watching that point. Thefirst sign of disaster was a dead sheep floating down. Next came a horse,swimming bravely, but we were afraid that the strength of the current wouldprevent its landing anywhere before it became exhausted. Suddenly a raftappeared, looking rather like Noah's ark, carrying the whole family, a fewhens, the dogs, a cat, and a bird in a cage. We realized that they must havebecome unduly frightened by the rising flood, for their house, which had soundfoundations, would have stood stoutly even if it had been almost submerged. Themen of our family waded down through our flooded meadows with boathooks, in thehope of being able to grapple a corner of the raft and pull it out of thecurrent towards our bank. We still think it a miracle that they were able to doso.
