went whistling into the boiling sea. Off she
sprang then,-Bowen could no more than
have snapped his fingers ere she was off,
foolishly, wildly,-and then, almost as sud-

1t was as if she didn't know Just what to dc

the sea swept down and caught her one
under the ear. Broadside she preached,

for awhile thought they could weather it;

witches.
Tide and wind were taking her toward

it would be, and they would live Just
