A for Hans, he thought he was quite
. sailor, for on two warm summer days
he had been out in the boat with his
father, and had sailed up and down over
the beautiful sloping crests of water un-
ill he was almost giddy with the strange
Ssusstion and excitement, scarcely able to
call it pleasure, and yet something very
fer from pain. His father laughed and
said no was little ses-sick, but Hans
forgot all about it when the boat was
hauled on the beach, and was never
tired of telling Freda the wonderful
adventures he had passed through.
One day, when the father was off with
his boat and nets, and the beach was
quite deserted, Hans proposed that be
and bis little sister should 60 down to
the shore and see if they could get any
crabs. The mother was sick with q
headache, and so they stole away very
quietly, leaving her fast asleep. Hans
carried a net and Freda large basket,
- they expected to catch . great many
crabs. Both of them knew how, very
well, and the mother of the little crab
satchers never worried about them. She
looked upon the sea % sort of nurse
for the little once, who relieved her
when she was tired, and were always
ready to toss up shells or seaweeds to
play with when there was no work to
ID.
30 down to the shining beach the two
children ran, hand in hand, until they
reached what they called their ship.
This was the old, worn out, battered hull
Of . fishing boat, that was drawn up high
out Of reach Of the waves, and in which,
sometimes when the tide came creeping
up, they would rock. themselves and
splash about in the water, making be-
lisve that, like father, they were really
and truly going to sea.
They caught sevssal crabs, but not
nearly enough to fill the big basket they
had brought and then they tried to
catch the floating seaweed, and pretended
It Was ish, and such merry time as they
had hauling it in. At last Freda grew
tired, and Hans rocked the boat to
amuse her, for the tide was creeping up,
up, slowly enough, it is true, but creep
Ing very steadily all the same. "Let's
60 on voyage like father" said Hans,
"lets 60 and catch fish-let's go out and
meet him, and see who has the most.
Let's 60, say"
Freda clapped her hands for joy.
.Ssil away" she said to Hans, and then
they both began to rock and dip their
hands in tho water.
Sealing up softly, SO softly, and it lifted
tho battered old hull. with tho two
children in it, just - if il was feather
and gently blew it out-out toward the
open ses. At first the little girl laughed
and said il swung just like cradle. but
then, - they rocked further and further
away from the old moorings, she clasped
