what seemed to me still the boundless
ocean, but with our feet upon the ground.
In reality We were on sandbank which
the recent violent storm had thrown up
near the bar. and though our position was
a very unsafe one for any length of time,
yet the danger was over, for a boat was
putting off from the shore and rapidly
coming to our rescue.
Reader did you ever make love on a
sandbar in the middle of the ocean, to a
very pale, and limp, and lachrymose mer-
maid in a draggled blue bathing dress, with
tangled, gorgon like, snaky locks escaping
from bruised and battered sailor hat !?
Because Mr.. Fleming did.
And as to this day, tremble and turn
