When the flood came his hut was partially destroyed; all his furniture and clothing being swept away. It was alsoand thought by his neighbours that he was lost so as soon as possible they went to the house to look for his body. There was still a lot of water in the house and they were astonished to find the old gentleman sitting in a large box which was floating around in the room, he was grasping the sides of the box to steady himself, he only had a small portion of his night-shirt on, the remainder being torn away.
