stood Milly, waving him a goodbye. On

folded on his breast, was Will Carroll,

Two weeks passed and Mily had not
seen Will Carroll. IL was time for the
Lapwing to return, and long before the
sun went down Milly stood upon the pa

was SO intent on this that she did not see
that Will had come up, and was standing

Nearly all the feet had gained the har-
Dor in safety, but at this moment the
souall struck the devoted schooner with
terrible force. Her foromast was snapped
like a pipestem, and she was thrown on
her beam ends. The cargo shifted, and
she was doomed. No seamanship could
save her, as she drifted helplessly down
towards the line of breakers, half mile
below the fort.
