this moment the Marquis de Pontus,
master of the chateau, came up to the
group of people to learn the end of the
nights drama. He hurried down TO
the strand. followed by the fishermen.
The cry had come from peasant who
had discovered the body of a woman,
clothed in a long white robe, thrown
between two enormous rocks. She
was undoubtedly dead and must have
rolled from her bed on the ship into the
sea.
"Her heart still BEATS" cried the
peasant The marquis commanded:
Garry her to my house quickly and
wrap this cloak about her"
He was obeyed. In fact, the woman
still lived, and after hours of ingenious
labor opened her eyes.

is still too weak and must Sleep"

the little port did not possess a single
