On another occasion a neighbor a- bout a mile to the east, had occasion to go to Durham to consult a doctor about a felon. She had the usual conveyance - "t3hanker'g nag." Be- tween the two homes runs it branch of the Sangeen. which she crossed on a log. Staying with a friend one night, she found next day the rivet was in a flood and the handy log illoat. But help was near and Peter Reid saw her across. "Take hold of my belt, I can swim like a fish," he told the lady and sure enough, wet Llld dripping, she got to terra tirma and m ver forgot the kindly help.

When some! distance from the city (or town then) he noticed a. big man meeting him (a negro) whose looks amused his sus- picion.

He walked the whole way and back. and an aunt of his there, for sat‘vty’s sake, made him a belt in which she sewed the $20 gold coins. that made the $1000.
