upwards of an hour.
So slowly the current bore the life

her on dry land, then climbed back into
the vessel, rummaged out her anchor

planting the former we'll up towards
the foot of the Cliff.
And as he rose from this last labor
he was half blinded by the glare of the
westering sun as it broke through the
fog.
In less than five minutes the miracu-
lous commonplace was an acom-
plished fact; The wind had rolled the
fog back like a scroll and sent it spin
ming far out to sea-, while the shore
on which the two had landed was
deluged with sunlight, bright and
beautifully warm.
He showed a thoughtful and consid-

Her face was bloodless, even as her
lips were white with the curb she put
upon her passion. Her eyes were lurid
