every day, if with the wish Of being nearer the
beloved objects that lay buried beneath the sea, sud-
denly she behcd them landing from vessel which
had picked them up and saved them. An overwhem-
ing food of Joy pervaded her bosom, and then reason
WAS gone forever. She never has known them since,
but sits what she thinks the rock, where she
used to bewail their fate, wringng her hands and
moaning most pi,eousIy, while every week the hus-
band and come and gaze her face, in hope TO
rouse CLEAN of memory, but in vain"
