Death Valley in ’49

CHAPTER XI
103/118

Bennett and his wife were taken into Mr.Moody's tent, and an hour or so later when Mrs.Bennett appeared again, she had her face washed clean, her hair combed, and a new clean dress.

It was the first time we had found soap, and the improvement in her looks and feelings was surprising.

Bennett looked considerably cleaned up too, and appeared bright and fresh.

The children had also been taken in hand and appeared in new clothes selected from the wardrobe of the other children, and the old dirty clothes were put in process of washing as soon as possible.

There was real bread and it looked so nice we smiled when it was offered to us.
