to the ging and pulled the trigger. On
to her husbandwho was repairing
fish nets in the corner of the log house
in which they lived. Site had gone out
some eight or ten times within the
hear to see if the boys were coming
on the sands between Long l'oint and
their home et Mutton Bay. The father
had sent the two little fellowstup to
the Point early that morning to get
a couple of lead sinkers for his fishing
lines arena the merchant who furnish-
ed them supplies:and had told them to
return in the afternoon. The dietance
is only eight miles, and sixteen miles
there arid back, were comparatively
nothing to sturdy little iisher-folk like
theee boys.
• The shades of night were coming on
apace, and the mother was anxiout,
especially as eigns of wolves had been
seen lately by the Settlers.
_ -
"I don't see, Ben,"- she continued,
"what call there was to sena them all
that way for two sinkers. • You might
have used stones or a piece of iron
until such -time es you visited the
Point yourselalf• .
"My, Mary, you are worrying fo
nothing. The, boys are all right• no
• doebt they are .playing • along the
sands; and when they see night coin-
ing on, they will hurry home. Besides,
Tom is no baby, and he has the rifle
with him and he will take care of
himself and _little George all right.
No one," he continued, "has seen any
weaves; the tracke they report may
have been made by some stray team
dogs, as like as not."
However, old Ben:wee not so easy
in his mind as he would make it ap-
pear to his wife; for, shortly after,
he put away his net, and went out-
side himself. •
"Drat the boys," he said, after
straining his eyes to the west. "What
can be keeping them? If anything
happens to them, the old woman will
never finish saying it was my fault."
• This family consisted of the fdther
and mother and the two boys: Tom,
aged thirteen, wife accompanied his
father in his cod -fishing bode, and
George, aged ten, who stayed ashore
with his mother. Little as he was, he
did the chores about the house, and
helped his mother dry the fish. This
day,thowever, the sea Was too rough
to go out; so the father had sent them
to Long Pdint.
The little fellows arrived at the
Point safely, go'C'theirleads, and the
merchant's wife had given them a
good wires. dinner before they left on
their tetuen journey. Each one of
them had a seven -pound -lead slung by!
o strieg across his back; and Tom,1
being the larger, carried the rifle and'
eartridge belt. • I
• All yea well until they reached:
about half way; there a small fresh-
water creek finds its way out to the
sea, The boys were resting here and,
taking a drink, when; all at ()nee,'
there came on their ears daingle hovel, I

Tom said, seiabig his brother by the
hand, "Corne on, George, it's wolvesli
I'm sure it's wolves!" The bort hur-,
ried on in the direction of home as
fast as they could; but, by the sounds:
behind them, they knew the fierde'
brutes Would sobn be up with them.
To lighten themselves the leade were
cast off.-- Tom said 6 his little bro-
ther: "Follow me ifick; if we remain
on the Sands they will surround us,"
" The 'wolves were now almost on
them, and Tom pushed his little bro-
ther up the face of a large sloping
bolakier, and told him to Climb higher

seattering,of the imelt,' with two left
dead -and one limping Mr, Mortally
wounded. This 'scattering, however,
was only momentary, ancl for a short
distance; 101-" they soon returned, -and
began to devour their dead coinrades.
Tom took in at a &nee that this was
his opportunity while theyewere fight-
ing , amongst themeeives, to climb up
to a; safer position. By dint of stick-
ing his toes and fingers into the small
ridges Of the rock, he managed to
draw himself up to the top. But
where was- little Georgie? The rocky
cliff rose up at each side of this bout-,
der; and at theliack it had reflected
branches and driftwood by the action
oe the high tides. ',When his brother
celled to him Georgie answered from
down 'ainongst thia debris. ' Toni; as-
sured of hie whereabouts and safetea-
tbld him to stay there, while he re-
mained on the top of. the rock and de-

rock; bet Tom Would tumble over one
of the leaders before they get quite up
to the base. This would check the
gang and the next moment they would
be fighting over the carcass Of their
fallen fellow, tearing him piecemeal
amongst them.
-This was all very well while,. day-
light lasted, but the ehadee of evening
were corning on apace; and Tom fore-
saw that when night had come upon
them one or two might gain a foothold
on the rock. If they. did, the death of
his brother and himself would surely
follow. . In the hollow back of the
bouldet, as I have said, was a
great collection of brandies, driftwood
and pieces of bark. Tom told little
George to begin at once M collect all
bOe could to hand up to him to feed a
blaze that he set about making imme-

place would be lit up for quite a dise
