John helped Jessie up the steep,
winding path. and they stood on the
crest OF the hill. The broad Atlantic
lay to the east. and the island.dottcd

sunset. At the horizon was n mass Of
clouds: above burned n bar OF red

spread the gorgeous tints with which
the setting sun tinseled the closing
curtains of night. Delicate greens
toned through the shades of orange
into rich amethyst. and against this
