clergyman was once supplying pulpit

figure of n storm-tossed ship, with her
sails split, and driven by the gale toward
the rock bound coast of Cape Ann.
ooh, how" he exclaimed in tones OF
despair, "shall this poor sin-tossed sim

Instantly an old salt in the gallery,
who had listened with open mouth and
straining eyes to the preacher, jumped
to his feet, and in voice that would
have sounded above n hurricane shout.
