Martinsburg Gazette

We have stated already that six females rescued from the "William Brown," had arrived at Germantown, their place of destination in this neighborhood. We are told that one of the company was not of the family that had come to make their home in Germantown. She was a young woman whose mother fourteen years before had come from Scotland to this country, and the daughter thought she had only come to America to find her parent.—Their common sufferings had attached her to the other five females, and they took up their abode in Germantown, the young woman ascertaining very soon that she was not likely to find her mother quite as readily as she had supposed. She accordingly looked about for work to earn a living. Shortly after her arrival, she was visited, among many others, by an elderly lady from Manayunk, who came to enquire after the rescued sufferers generally, and to hear more particulars of those who were lost with the ship and from the boat.

Having heard the oft repeated story, the old lady ventured to make one particular enquiry:

"Was Mary — on board the William Brown?"

"Yes, she was."

The next question dropt tremulously from her lips.

"Is she saved?"

"Yes, I am she."

"My child!" exclaimed the mother.

And so the old lady supplied her daughter with a home, which she was about to earn among strangers.—Phil. U. S. Gaz.
