PART ONE-CContinued)


~ ARLY in the morning we both
Il got up and went down to the
H. harbor to see IL anything
had happened in the night.
There were very few people about,
and though the sun was bright,
and the air clear and fresh, the big,
grim-looking waves, that seemed dark
themselves because the foam that
topped them was like snow, forced
themselves in through the narrow
mouth OF the harbor-iike a bullying
man going through a crowd. Some
how 1 felt glad that jonathan was
not on the sea last night, but on land.
But, oh, Is he on land or sea? Where
is he, and how? l am getting fear

knew what to do, and could do any
thing!
10 August.-The funeral OF the poor
sea captain today was most touching.
Every boat in the harbor seemed to
De there, and the coffin was carried
by captains ali the way from Tate
Hill Pier up to the churchyard. Lucy
came with me, and we went early TO
our old seat. whilst the cortege of
boats went up the river to the Via
duct and came down again. We
had a lovely view and saw
the procession nearly all the
way. The poor fellow was laid to rest
quite near our seat. SO that we stood on
1t when the time came and saw every
thing. Poor Lucy seemed much upset.
She was restless and uneasy all the
time, and I cannot but think that her
dreaming at night Is telling on her. She
Is quite odd in one thing: she will not
admit to me that there Is any cause for
restlessness; or II there be, she does not
understand It herself.
There Is an additional cause in that
poor old Mr.. Swales was found dead this
morning on our seat. his neck being
broken He had evidently, as the doc
tor said, fallen back in the seat in some
sort Of fright, for there was q look Of
fear and horror On his face that the
men said made them shudder. Poor
dear old man! Perhaps he had seen
Death with his dying eyes! Lucy is SO
sweet and sensitive that she feels infiu-
ences more acutely than other people do.
Just now she was quite upset by a Httla
thing which / did not much heed, though

Of the men who came up here often to
look for the boats was followed by his
