or John Lees adventure
“Now be good children” Said Mrs. Lee “While I am away & dont get into
mischief”. Mr. & Mrs. Lee were going off for the day & To leave The Two
children John 10 yrs old & Alice 2 yrs old “Yes” replied John
As Soon as The Elder Lees were away the younger Lees went down cellar &
began to rummage among the rubbish little alice leaned against the wall
watching John. As John was making a boat of barrel staves the Little
girl gave a piercing cry as the bricks behind her crumbled away he
rushed up to her & Lifted her out screaming loudly as soon as her
screams subsided she said “the wall went away” John went up & saw that
there was a passage he said to the little girl “lets come & see what
this is” “Yes” she said the entered the place they could stand up it
the passage was farther than they could see they John went back
upstairs & went to the kitchen drawer & got 2 candles & some matches &
then they went back to the cellar passage. the two once more entered
there was plastering on the walls ceiling & floor nothing was visible
but a box this was for a seat nevertheless they examined it & found it
to contain nothing the walked on farther & pretty soon the plastering
left off & they were in a cave Little alice was frightened at first but
at her brothers assurance that it was “all right” she allayed her
fears. soon they came to a small box which John took up & carried
within pretty soon they came on a boat in it were two oars he dragged
it with difficulty along with him soon they found the passage came to
an abrupt stop he pulled the obstacle away & to his dismay water rushed
in in torrents John was an expert swimmer & long breathede he had Just
taken a breath so he tried to rise but with the box & his sister he
found it quite impossible then he caught sight of the boat rising he
grasped it. . . .
The next he knew he was on the surface clinging tightly to the body of
his sister & the mysterious box he could not imagine how the water got
in but a new peril menaced them if the water continued rising it would
rise to the top suddenly a thought presented itself. he could shut off
the water he speedily did this & lifting the now lifeless body of his
sister into the boat he himself climed in & sailed down the passage it
was gruesome & uncanny absolutely dark his candle being put out by the
flood & a dead body lying near he did not gaze about him but rowed for
his life when he did look up he was floating in his own cellar he
quickly rushed up stairs with the body, to find his parents had come
home He told them the story

The funeral of alice occupied so much time that John quite forgot about
the box—but when they did open it they found it to be a solid gold
chunk worth about $10,000 enough to pay for any thing but the death of
his sister.
