Her heart seem- ed to pause beneath the weight of the presentiment that Was the herald of that swift comer's a-wful news. "What is it, John Richards?

For one minute the white angry ocean, the bleak bare land, seemed to whirl and fade away before Winnifred Otter- lyon's eyes, and the icy breath of the sea mists to enter within her and freeze every warm pulse of life into stillness; but the ealm presence of xnind, the ability to rule and guide the breaking heart and burniug brain, which is the Merciful gift of those frail, gentle wom- anly natures which always cover so strong and yet so meek a soul, slid not desert her nOW, There WAS something to be done yet; by and by would be time enough for agony and. despair.

Albert Gardiner was dead, and, Stephen Tredennielc was dead -how many had. died? Was everybody dying? How manym. more were to die? In a kind of delirious trance she had sunk on her knees on the wet sand staring vacantly at the name lettered so clearly. that it seemed to burn through her sight and write its fatal message on her brain, thinking of the cruel, tossing waves -tossing, toesing, all through the long, dark, pitiless hours -tossing something which had become their prey -while she -oh, merciful Heaven !-sat sheltered from the storm, warmly wrapped, on a Couch by a bright fire!
