performed the ceremony. preached to the
congregation, numbering about 20 peo-
pie. He followed his brief sermon with
the announcement that he would sing the
forty-fifth Psalm, which he had set to
the old Windsor tune"
The Psalm over, the simple service that
made the couple man and wife was said,
and when it was finished the bride, we
are told, kissed all present with the
greatest heartiness, her bridegroom last,

couple walked together away from the
Westinghouse down to the neglected bar
rens of the island, where their new home
stood.
The house was lifted six feet above high
water on the beach. 1t was shingled all
over and had one story and a loft under
steep roof lighted with dormer windows
There were three small rooms in the
place, poorly carpentered. but to the
young couple it was a paradise, and here
they settled down to married life. on
