CHAPTER V.

With the first peep of day I retired
from the open air to my old lair among
the %sandhills, there to await the COM
ing of my wife. The morning was
gray, wild and melancholy; the wind
moderated before sunrise. and then
went about and blew in puffs from the
shore; the sea began to go down, but
the rain still fell without mercy. Over
all the wilderness of links there was
not n creature to be see. Yet | felt
sure the neighborhood was alive with
skulking foes. The light had been so
suddenly and surprisingly flashed upon
my face as | lay sleeping, and the hat
