chaise, drawn by the antique white
horse, and was hailing the parsona ge
through a speaking trumpet formed by
holding both his big hands before his
mouth.
The minister and Mrs. Coffin, the
former with a napkin in his hand, had
emerged from the side door of the par
sonage and now came hurryiEg down
to the gate.

captain, you don't mean to tell me
you amt done breakfast yet and it
after seven O'Clock. Why, Mr. Ellery,
1 tell you: Em1ous Sparrow, the fish
peddler, stepped up to our house few
minutes ago. He's just come down
from the shanties over on the shore
by the light-where the wreck was,
you know-and he says there's a
'morphrodite brig anchored three or
four mile off and she's flynn colors
haf mast and union down. They're
gettin' a boats crew together to so
off to her and see what's the row. I'm
goin' to drive over and 1 thought may
be you'd like to go along"

donned his hat and coat, ran down the
walk and climbed into the chaise be-
side Captain Zeb. The white horse,

ed slappings of the reins and roars

A few fishermen, one or two lobster
men and wreckers, and the lightkeep-

lighthouse. They had a spyglass, and
a good-sized dory was ready for
launching.
Where is she, Noah?" asked Cap
tain Zeb OF the lightkeeper.

head. She was wrapped in a Rising

acting in the dual capacity of nurse

After quoting from President An

the report says:
That statement was wholly sub
versive Of his oath TO uphold and en-
force the laws of the State: and, be-
cause of his outspoken disrespect for
laws that restrict and prohibit the
sale of whisky in Georgia, we regret
his election to the Presidency of the
Senate. We believe the placing OF
him there improperly upholds the dig
