tenant Roberts and bis men had soon
put off in the life-boat, and more tina il
one OF the fishing-boats had followed !;
though the sea was now so wild that
some of the older men shook their
heads and muttered that at We're a
clean temptin' of Providence. Even
in the upper village stray, rumOrs OF
the excitement below kept the folks
waking.
Fanny Haywood lived alone with
her father. He had been village school
but was supera nuated now,
and almost childish; his chief ideas
being the correctness and spotless con.
ditiOn of his clothing and the beauty
and irresistible charms of his daughter
Fanny. He saw no use whatever in
sitting up burning candle just because
a ship had been so stupid as to get on
the rocks, and he told his daughter she
would do wisely if she went to bed too.
Fanny gave him careless answer;
but when he had fairly gone up stairs
she placed hefself at the window and
looked out, in hopes of bearing news
from some passer by. a- ,.-.-
The girls heart was very heavy to-
