The watchers were Mary Dyer
and her fathsr-the object for
they were watching,
was the long-expected Spray.
AT a little past noon, on the
day when the storm see med to
have fairly set in, the old man
and his daughter stood on the
accustomed look out. A wild
scene was presented to them,
as they turned their gaze east.

swept in with their white
crests, from the outer deep,
with accelerated speed, break

ing the rocky coast with snowy
surf. @
oAfar off on the edge of the
horizon, stretching along for
some distance, the water was
seething milk-white. 1t was
caused by the pillows break
ing over the "Hummocks," as
some styled them-a sunken
reel, or series of reefs, fathoms
deep in ordinary weather, SO
that the largest ship could
pass over them in safety. 1t
was only when the storm spirit
was sbout-when the ocean
was unusually disturbed-that
their existence was revealed,
and then they would break
with great fury, the ghastly
foam leaping masthead high.
With emotions that never
before agitated her breast, the
maiden now surveyed the
scene, The pallor of her face,
and the anxiety depicted in her
countenance, betrayed the
depth of her interest. AS the
strong wind swept by in ftful
gusts, and the hoarse voice Of
the sea filled her ears, and the
white caps of the waves flash.

the sadness that weighed down
her heat, and more despairing

"Oh, father" with trembling
lips and broken voice the maid.
en- appealed to her companion,
"where can she be?"
"Safe, safe, my child, let us
hope and pray!" rejoined the
father, gazing compassiohately
on his daughter, for a terrible
fear was working at his heart.
"But can she live in such a
storm as this?" was again the
anxious inquiry of the maiden.
"Yes, my daughter" he re.
Piled with moro assured tones.

Spray. A better boat. never

While he was speaking, the
eyes of the maiden still con-
tinued to scan the dim horri,

claimed in eager, hopeful tones:
"Look, look, fatherl-there
to the northeast see a sail!"
and she pointed excitedly in

hand trembled, as she pointed
