To say the least there was something remarkable in these facts,
whether clairvoyance, or the divine impression on her mind from

fastened to the axle, to rest their feet on. She got her parents,
who were both slaves belonging to different masters, on this rude

day, I furnished her with money to take them all to Canada. I
afterward sold their horse, and sent them the balance of the
proceeds. I believe that Harriet succeeded in freeing all her
relatives but one sister and her three children. Etc., etc.
