Not sound met her strained hearing.
Tie water rose higher and higher. Each
wave now broke in her face-alnOst over
her head. One or two moments more and
she must fall. A frenzy Of fear gave her
momentary strength, and she strove to
tear herself free, but in vain. Each effort
but exhausted her little remaining
strength, leaving her weaker than before,
more unresisting prey for her foe.
A wave bigger and higher than usual

Hone was gone. She must die.
But as size gave a last strangled cry a

rock.

longer it would have been in vain. The
woman would have been dragged into the
depths OF the pool and tie strong, beak-
like mouth OF the devil-fiSh would have

When the creature was dead and spread
