to look at. I thought this must be the End. But No
I was seemingly in Philadelphia and there every-
thing was still no living soul was to be seen to greet
me, and it seemed as though the whole City was
without an inhabitant. In arch and chestnut
street and in fact Every whare I went the putrifcation
of the Dead bodies caused such a stench that it was
Impossible for any creature to Exhist alive, nor did
I see any living thing in the City. I next found
myself in Broadway New York and here it
seemed the people had done their best to overcome
the Disease. But in wandering down Broadway
I saw the bodies of Beautiful women lying stone
dead, and others in a dying condition on the side
walk. I saw men crawl out of the cellars and
rob the dead bodies of the valuables they had on
and before they could return to their coverts in the
cellars they themselves would roll over a time or
towo and die in agony. On some of the back streets
I saw Mothers kill their own children and
Eat raw flesh and then in a few minuts
die themselves. Whareever I went I saw the
same scenes of Horror and Desolation rapine and
Death. No Horses or carriages, No busses
or street cars, but Death and Destruction evry whare
I then went to the Grand Central Park and looking
back I saw a fire start and just at that moment
a mighty East wind sprang up and carried the flames
