mooring. Anxious faces were seen
in the vast crowd which had gather
ed on the bank of the usually peace
full Maumee, for a storm was gather
ing, which soon burst in all its furry
on the helpless craft; and soon the
beautiful little ship which had been
the pride of Captain Tippin and his
mates was stranded on the beach, a
| hopeless wreck. Fortunately no
lives were lost and the thankful
crowd returned to their homes; but
in their slumbers they still heard the
awful din of the rushing, roaring
waves mingled with the fury of the
tornado. BUCKEYE.
