trusty lookout in the fore-top, AND LET
THE SHIP STAND oN!'
Captain Marshall felt at that moment
as though an angel had been sent to
pilot him to a haven of rest Whence
arose the feeling he knew not, but in
stinctively he obeyed. Fearful and
loud roared the mighty storm, and on
dashed the riven ship, but all fearless
and composed stood the heroic woman
upon the quarterback, and the hardy
seamen, as they gazed upon her, felt
that what daunted not woman should
not daunt them.
Land, ho." came from the fore-top.
In three minutes more, as the ship
rose upon the bosom of a giant sea, the
land was made out from the deck, bear
ing about two points on the larboard
bow. Emma caught sight of it, and
Selling glass, at the next swell she dis
covered lighthouse upon the summit
Then she turned her glass over the star
board beam, and in a moment she ex-
claimed:
There are the Bantam Lodges That
land on the starboard bow is Seguin. and
beyond | can see Cape Small Point
James" she continued, as she gazed
into her husbands face with look all
made up of conscious power, " if YOU
will drop your fore-topsail, WILL TAKE
YOU INTO TIE kENNEBEcK :"
For moment Captain Marshall hard
" credited the evidence of his own
senses, but one look into the calm, IA
diant features of his wife determined
him, and in five minutes the fore-topsal
was sheeted home.
Emma Marshall seized the spanker
out-haul and sprang upon the wheel
house, and calm as the falling of the
summers dew fell her orders to the men
at the wheel The Island of Sequin
was cleared in safety, the ship bowled
fearlessly by the foam-dashed rocks, and
ere long her bows cleft the smoother
waters Of the noble kennebeck. All
danger was passed. Though the storm
still ragged, yet the old Vincent rode at
anchor, and the bowling tempest could
harm her no more
Emma Marshall descended from her
station and sought her cabin. Her
rough habiliments We're thrown aside, !
and ere long she reappeared in all the
modesty and beauty of her native grace
Captain Marshall pressed her to his |
bosom, and at that moment the hardy |
seamen waved their hats high above
:. heir uncovered heads, while Il prulonC- |
ed shout of joy and gratitude wen, forth |
from their relieved souls. They had !
been saved from the terrible "CoAsT |

hearts they confessed that Emma Mar
