When MarjorieS skirts blow all awry,
With dash of the winter wind,
I do my best, tho hardlike test,
TO be for the moment blind.
g An i'll wind it is that blows no good
TO anyone recall:
But the wind that tlirtS with MarjOreS skirts
Is an i'll wind not at all.
Oh no then blow, We whispering breeze,
With Marjorie's ruffies play;
For who could suppose such dainty hose
Were meant to be hidden away?
Then blow when Marjorie passes by.
Blow hard as ever you will;
For the wind that flrts with Marjo1ies skirts
Could never, no, never, be i'll.

ear over the crack below the slide that 1
might hear if aught was amiss Az, there
was. \ clear sound of raspng and splinter
ing wood greeted ne rs l stopped the otter
ear with my hand TO keep out the surround
Ing racket, and / had hit the spot on which
4 knife was at work.
Drawing my cutlass, with it's hilt 1 smote
the woodwork. The sound instantly ceased.
christening the slide, l drew it back an
inch or more and sang out through the open
ing:
Keep at it, my lads, and when We have
the hole the size of a pistols barrel. III put
one there and give We quick trip to Davy
Jones. Aayhap we have heard of Donald
Ihorndyke. Well, l am he. Now mind
yourselves"
And now / settled myself for night OF it,
putting aside all matters save the ship's
safety. I was lucky to have a doctor in the
cabin to care for my sick; as for myself l
needed none. So long as l was holding cast
l cared little for the blow if nothing carried
away. l had hopes that the suddenness Of
the storm bespoke its shortness, but never
did l dream it was affecting my destiny
Beyond the elements l had now little to
fear, and, as l knew my own boat as
mother knows her child, felt there was but
small danger Of her inability to weather the
gale.
But the tempest was not of usual temper
Its approach, its violence and duration were
beyond common rules, and had it held aloof
but a day longer it would have doubtless al
tered the history of the colonies, and per-
haps have put period to my own career.
One has but to turn to history for the truth
Of this. The great storm which suddenly
sprang on the coast the night of August II,
I18, and which lasted for more than three
days, was of such a nature that it has been
set apart by historians as worthy of espe-
cial mention, both from its results and its
more than fendish force.
As l have said, the absence Of the bulk of
Lord Howe's fleet had enabled the Phan-
tom to drift through the fog and from the
bay in comparative safety, and this absence
was due to an attack planned against the
French who were besieging Newport by
water, as. the patriots under Sullivan were
doing by land The British General Pigot
was in desperate straits when Howe ap-
peared off Point Judith, and, had the Eng
lish admiral been possessed of the sluggish
and procrastinating nature of his brother
(lately commander of the British land
forces in America), he would probably have
been a day or two later, and Pigot would
have followed the example of Burgoyne at
Saratoga and laid down his arms. As it was,
Howe arrived in the nick of time, and the
French sailed out of the harbor to fight
him. The English took to the ocean for sea
room in which TO maneuver but from all I
could ever gather, each was MORALLY afraid
