It was fine day SO we hurried to

the beach at half past nine and the
first thing we did was to take off our
shoes and stockings and wade in the
ocean. Ny cousin was in a hurry so
she left her shoes and, stockings on the
beach. We waded and waded until it
was high tide when suddenly we saw
something small and black floating on
high wave. Pretty soon Alice ex-

We all began to laugh heartily when
