Suddenly Lawrence partly raised

the doctor, as he stepped from tbs,

just as Mary Lawrence, alive and well,
accompanied by a tall, manipulating
young fellow, entered by another door
After this sacred meeting between
husband and wife, rescued from the
very brink of the grave, Mary told hel
story.

MY God! this is terrible!" said
Capt. Harding, in voice of anguish.
No cries were heard after the bark
went down, and after searching about
for some time the order was given to
head for the beach.
As the boat swung about in response
20 the helm, John Lawrence jumped
quickly to his feet, and shouting,
There's one!" grabbed a floating body
by its hair, and with mighty effort
lifted it into the boat just as his foot
slipped and he pitched forward, strik-
ing his head on the gunwale, and as
the blood gushed from the wound just
above his temple he knew no more.
One afternoon, nearly month later,
& number of the lifeboat crew were
seen hurrying to the little house which
John Lawrence had left on that stormy
night to save the seamen aboard the
stranded bark.

WRECK OF THE HYACINTH.

flashed, and i'll response the artillery
of heaven doomed and rolled, then
crashed. as if the very skies were rent
in twain to deliver one mighty blow.
Streets were transformed into leaping.
rushing rivers by the terrible downpOlr
of rain, while the breakers on that
lone dreary New England coast seemed
to defy the challenge of the roaring
storm.

ried to a safe anchorage early in the
afternoon.

as he stepped to the door and peered out
into the opaque darkness.

which now adorns the long, barren
stretch of sand, but the crew were menu

of reward. \ whaleboat served their
purpose then, and many despairing
sailor had good cause to praise her
:stanchness and the bravery of her iron
hearted crew.
A flash of lightning in the early even
ing had revealed a large bark trying to
weather the wreck-bestrewn, fatal
Handkershoal, which caused the bluff,
rugged mariner to utter the foregoing
remarks.

beach, with the boat drawn W. outside
