It seemed but an instant before she
struck the reef. Then followed a
tremendous wave that lifted her as
though she were a chip and hurled her
into the mass of foam and coral.
In five minutes she was beaten to

Without stopping to explore the is-

and warped the schooner up to 1t.
They found they could get the bow OF
the vessel about twenty feet insh.ore
from the end of the wharf at low tide.
They carried a generous supply OF
stores and their bedding up to the
house, and hastily, after infinite toll
with block and tacle and guy ropes,
they succeeded in hosting the piano
to the wharf and thence by delicate
maneuvering to the shore where they
picket it up and carried it the rest OF
the way to the house.
