There the meeting ended; and Mary

how, although she Was calloup to
nothing and occasionally tender-
hearted so far as to be downright
foolish, there was always a lack of
reality in such things on Bella's part.

remained at ah angle that spelt dis-

came ;strongly
e-came/strongly exotted.• Without Wait-
ing for a wrap, of any kind, Mary
rushed out of the shop, along the
road, past the Customp. Rouse and on
to the jetty, her skirts swaying in
the wind. '
Turning to his assistant Mr. Milroy
said, "Away you go, too, Jimmy -you
may he some use; bat don't you be
too risky -you're only young.".
And after Mary he instantly went
at the top of his speed, to be fol-
lowed more slowly and uncertainly
by Bella; who, being at her parlor-
-window when Mary went by, had
hurried out to see the cause of the
other's unusual haste.
The schooner, having entered the
Channel too far to leeward, with wind
and tide on her starboard beam, had
gone broadside on to the eastern
shoal, losing her fore topmast and all
its gear at the impact. Now, as Mary
ran breathlessly up -to the men, the
vessel was lying over to port and
seas were breaking across her.
"Zum en us '11 ha'e to zee what we
can do," Mary heard one t1 the men
say, as most of the. others said some-
thing else and none of them made a
definite movement towards rescue.
"Yes, and I'm going out to her,"
was Derreck's remark. He had a
boat's sail under arm and was
turning towards the harbour. This
was all that the others needed, some-
one to lead. The announcement was
hailed with vigor. Derreck could
make- his choice out of a dozen who
were eager to accompany him; while
middle-aged Ben Keble, on the edge
of the little crowd, furthest away
from the flying sprays, said:
"Good' for 'ee, Derry -you got the
best boat in the harbour•. If she
casn't live in this, nort here can."' •
True, Derreck owned the best boat
to some extent; but there were oth-
ers as big as her and practically as
seaworthy. Still, "Careful Kebie•'s"
meaning was quite understood.
"You are going?" Mary asked him,
panting from her run.
"Yes, Mary," he answered quite
quietly, as he moved in the direction
of the steps on the inner side of the
jetty.
Involuntarily her hands were jerk-
ed up a few inches and her heart
thumped afresh, against his words
but she managed to say, "Then God
bless and bring you back,' and stood
aside.
"Nay, nay!-Ztay 'ee here, Derry,"
cried Kingsworth at his heels. "Bob
Aplin an' me '11 go. You be mar-
ried." Aplin was a single young man
but powerful and seasoned.
Derreck turned his head anere-
plied, "So are you, father."
"Nay, I be not -leastwise I -ha'e a
wife; but my wife bain't got no hus-
band. Ztay you here, lard''-n1e an'
Bob '11 go." How his loneliness had
told on him, since the separation from
his wife, only he and Derreck knew,
"They be a launchin' the'r own
boat!" shouted someone, as a sea
thundered against the solid old stone
pier, sending a mass of spray high
and wide over them all. This brought
all eyes o bear momentarily on ,the
wreck, which was not more than four
or five eable-lengths away. The re-
mark was correct. The Crew of five
hands were getting -their boat down
to the lee -rail, as best they could"
with heavy seas, breaking over them
from time to time and the vessel
heaving and bumping on her bilge.
Even as they were watched by those
on the jetty, the stern of that frail
thing of a craft was put on to the
rail, just as the schooner hove up to
windward. Then came a bigger rol-
ler, striking her abaft the waist,
smothering her in a hurly-burly of
wild waters and thrusting her further
over than ever. Most of the watch-
ers held their breaths. other said:
"They be a -done vor this time." Hard-
ly had the comment been made when
it was seen that the smashed boat
and the main -topmast were in the
maw of the breakers to leeward of
the wreck, driving in -shore with the
tide and one hand struggling amid
the wreckage. At this sight there
was more commotion on the jetty.
Every mouth was full of words, ev,
ery heart hot with desire to help.
Every,brain teemed with action.
Moveent was a passion. Ten men
started in ten directions, then turned
off"abrtiptly and did nothing definite
ers, backing suddenly and turning to the common end. In the meantime
their faces from the cold spray that
came flying over the petty -head, haz-
arded the opinion that the master of
the newcomer was not sure of his
ground.
At this moment Mary entered the
shop to tell her uncle that tea was
ready. He stood :lust inside the door -
stray, looking 'obliquely across the
road and over the harbor wall at the
men on the old jetty and at the up-
per spars of the approaching vessel,
Which were all that he -could see of
her. So fixed was his attention that
he made no reply to her intimation.
For this reason Mary went to lila
side, saw what utas occupying him

way down the jetty and returned with

Kingsworth, he began to put the oth-
er on; and Mary, now keeping her
fear more out of her eyes, stepped
forward to tie the strings and help
him generally, though she trembled
the while. Not more than five min-
utes bad elapsed since she arrived;
and it was at this juncture that Bella
followed by a crowd of others, came
up, hurrying over the last fifty yards
and saying:
"You're not going out, Derray !
'You're not going out!"
"Yes, he is, Bella -be quiet," was

the'heavy splay that had come Over
the jetty just after her arrival. Mary's
quaking condition had largely passed
away, and She was gaining strength
by the mere fact of having to re-
strain Bella's weakness. During this
time the general commotion had not
abated in the least.'`Tlie crowd had
increased till the outer quarter of the
jetty was fairly full of men, women •
and children; the greater portion of
whom paid not a scrap of interest to
the little group -seafarers for the
most part - who, were concerned in
and about the cork -jackets, because
they had not been on the scene long
enough to recognize what *as taking
place at the head of the harbour's
steps. The only things that attracted
the passing attention of the new -com-
ers, as they hurried by to get a bet-
ter view of the wreck and that some-
thing else, between the wreck and
the harbour, which. was so exciting a
number of persons close to the jet-
ty -head, were Bella's high pitched
tones and distracted manner as she
upbraided Mary, Kingsworth ,and oth-
ers who seemed to be having a share
in Derreck's going. In a way heedless
of all this, Derreck gently pushed her
towards the men who stood nearest
to Mary, saying:
"Be quiet, Bella, be quiet -I shall
be all right -there is "nothing to fear."
Then he whispered to her, "You're
disgracing me mo'r'e than ever -do
you know?" and added to those in
front of them, "Take care of her till
1 come back -we shan't be many min-
utes." Bob Aplin stood near and
sprang to a closer touch than Bella
had so far , allowed _him. Another
man carne to the other side and they
took her between them in a way,
ready to put hands on her; for her
husband's words had barely affected
her violence, although they had ap-
parently made her more reconciled to
the situation. To Mary he said in a
lower tone, "Get her back into the
house,. if you can, and keep her
there." Mary nodded and moved clos-
er to Bella, regardless of the latter's
continued complainings; her thoughts
were almost entirely pn Derreck and
her heart was throbbing again with
dread, as she watched him disappear
hurriedly down the steps, with Kings -
worth and two others at his heels, on
the way to his boat, which lay off to
her anchor inthe, harbour. Kings -
worth was saying,'as they went down
to the boisterous water, "It's all 'the
zame here az in church-webe in
the hands o' the Almighty." Then
Aplin, moved by that latent manli-
ness which 'most of his fellows knew
to be in him, and heedless of creat-
ing any favorable impression on Bella
shouted:
"Hi, Derry, -I'll come 'long o' you
an' the ole man!! -Three. '11 be betr
'an two!"
Derreck answered from down by
the water, out of sight, the gale mak-
ing his voice seem to be far away,
"No! We two '11 be enough to man-
age . her!" He meant his boat, the
Night Queen. Then, as they put off
in a dhingy,'he shouted again, "She'll
be pretty full, bringing the crew
back!"
"God •grant she may!" said Mary,
low and fervently; and the words
had a markedly calming effect •on
Bella: She gave Mary a sharp, un-
noticed, puzzled look and was prac-
tically quiet.
Aplin also bent a swift, searching
glance on Mary's pale yet handsome
face, with its expression of deep
thought and deeper devotion; then
he threw a similar look at Bella's
distraught features, and suddenly
leapt to the head of the steps, call-
ing, unaware that Bella hardly knew
or his presence:
"Here goes another! Who's a-com-
in"'long o' me?"
The wind shrieked across the jetty,
as if to intimidate any further ven-
turing; It whirled some hats and
caps into the harbour, twisted skirts
and petticoats tightly around their
owners' legs, showed such lengths of
stocking as would have caused
blushes in other scenes, and set free
some of Bella's already half -loosened
hair. Mary at once beized the latter,
in a way motherly, and began to re -
secure it, as she noticed two men
run down the steps after Aplin. Then
came a sounding thud on the white,
outer side of the petty, sending a
sort of tremor through it, broad and
solid as it was; and over them all
flew another cloud of • thick spray,
causing shivers, exclamations and
scurryings in search of any bit of
shelter. It was this that drove Bella,
sobered somewhat and chattering
with cold, away down the jetty,
whence she continued her way home,
now hesitatingly and uncertain; but
wet and miserable, and thinking that
she could better see all that took
place from her front chamber win-
dow.
THE GALE'S DISCOVERIES
As Mary stood there, wet and nip-
ped by the bitter gale, yet heedless,
half-uneonsolous even, of it alt,,, she
saw Bella turn along the road home -

one in front cried:
"There 'ee be! There 'ee be!"
Then Mary saw the cause of the
bor•ror which she had heard exprrs-
ed in so many ejaculations. There,
not a cable's length from where she
stood, came the schooner's wrecked
boat, partially across which lay the
broken• spar; while entangled in the
gear and gripping the gunwale with
a death -clutch was the man whom
that savage sea had carried over-
board with the boat. In the instant
that Mary saw him, he and the
wreckage were on the top of a foam-
ing breaker; a few seconds, and they
lay in a deep furrow where the face
of the man showed ghastly white'
sgainst the greeny water by which it
was hidden now and then. Some of
the onlookers cried out:
"He's dead! He's dead?"
Others shouted to the men in the
boats, and gesticulated wildly, to go
to him. Some of the women wrung
their hands and wept, asked the im-
possible and were impotent. Mary
clasped her hands at her waist and
offered up a silent prayer that was
not for Derreck alone. She had neve
er before anything like this. Her
nearest experience to it was the loss
of a barque and half its crew, in the
eastern part of the bay during the
previous winter, when two of the
drowned men were washed up on
Warren Point and given a public fun-
eral, the churchyard portion being all
that Mary saw. Dishevelled by wind
and sea, the whole of the little multi-
tude was now growing furious at its
impotence against the elemental sav-
agery that was playing ducks and
drakes with human life to right and
left of them. Yet -the lordly seas rode
on, gathering their toll as they. wept.

".What a fine chap Bob Aplin

Derreck, as he secured the main -tack
and looked to where the others were
pulling into wild, broken waters; ha .

"fine chap" had tried to make Bella

Now Derreck had set his smallest
jib. Kingsworth was at the tiller;
and the Night Queen, with her lee
rail just dipping now and then and
her weather -side showing to the bilge
was reaching away to open water be-
yond the harbour. "This change in af-
fairs at once divided the attention of
the spectators. While occasional
sprays hissed over them, and big
seas p'ou'nded the outside walls from
time to time, some of the onlookers
were for the oarsmen; others 'gave
their whole observation to the boat
under sail, which fast drew out clear

Pictures like this one will give you a permanent record of your summer
activities.
Before summer is gone and days
of swimming, boating, fishing,
hiking, tennis and myriad other
summer activities are once more only
a memory,.make sure you have more
than a sunburn to show for those
vacation hours. Let your camera be
your constant companion.
If you do, you'll have a priceless
picture record for future enjoyment.
And you can get the evidence not
only of the fish you catch, but if
you're alert enough, you may even
capture on film an effective picture
of the ones that get away.
Vacation -time offers splendid op-
portunities both for candid' shots
and for photographs of a more for-
mal, posed kind.
Today's illustration is a good ex-
ample of the story -telling type of
picture. There's no question about
whether this fish was landed. Notice
how the photographer has very
cleverly used the prize catch to re-
late the two major subjects in his
composition. Although the photo-
graph was posed, the alert camera-
man released the shutter quickly
enough to capture a very informal,
natural feeling.
This snapshot illustrates another

level. It will sometimes pay to be
a little unconventional in posing and
viewing your subjects.
Whether you're after posed rec-
ord photographs or strictly candid
shots,' make sure that what you snap
has a real story quality. Think twice
before you use precious film. It
takes only a little more thought to
get a really good picture, and it's
not a bit more expensive to make
a good picture than a poor one.
Remember always before releas-
ing the shutter to . check such obvi-
ous details as focus, lens opening,
and shutter speed: Above all, be
sure you have wound new film into-
place
ntoplace before each exposure, unless
you're deliberately after tricky
double -exposures, -
When planning vacation photog-
raphy, it's a good idea to have a
couple of inexpensive accessories
that will help you get more inter-
esting pictures. A yellow filter, for
instance, will bring out cloud effects
which so often make summer skies
dramatic. And a lens hood will per-
mit you to get much clearer photo-
graphs when using side -lighting or
light coming toward the camera.
And an inexpens'1ve exposure guide
