fears) was tumbled after, and lay in the
stern sheets like broken doll. The skiff
dwindled slowly to a spot, the spot sud-

The sun went down at last an allevia-

The dusk began to fall, and We ran up a
light in the fore rigging. From the far
away coast tights appeared like responsive
signals: asfew transient lights Of fishers. a
