possible all reference to our situation,
and the fate of the yacht, our CONVEX

keen and Original-not pedantic nor
bookish in any way, but the outspoken
frnnkness of young wOmanhood. In

her face mirror of her nature, her
eyes rejecting back each mood. Never

so long, staring out into that drear ex-
pause of ocean and sky. that every
