I was angry-ridiculously, child

sweethearts, and this was our first
difference. He had planned to take
me to the mainland and We had
looked forward to the trip for a
week. Now, on the very day Of

thicken to fog; that the wavelets
now caressing the trim little launch
at its sheltered mooring were
swelling high outside. But would
not listen. In my imperious mood
the sea held no terror-I realized
hothing but Ralph's refusal to hu-
NOR me-Ralph, usually so re-
sourceful, now baffled by a triffing
mist. l thought him cowardly. and
said so.
He flushed, and quietly answered
that, after all, the haze might Lift,
and soon after we rowed to the
launch and climbed aboard.
The gentle rocking of the launch,
the cool breeze playing across my
face, the tapping of the wavelets
under the bilge, soothed my ruff

best Of terms with Ralph. He start

ripping water SO gently that the
rocky pier nearby seemed to slip
away while We stood still.
Neptune's Reef, with its warning
tower. slowly grew larger In the
distance. The endless succession
OF waves soon became monotonous,
and while Ralph skillfully piloted
his boat through the swirling wa

roundings. The, mist had slowly
thickened to fog. Occasionally
above the churning Of waves and
the smothered put-put of the en-

croak Of the whistling buoy ofi
Neptune's Reef.
Now q steamship passed Ms out

three staccato toots from our tiny
pump whistle, and after q pause
as if disclaiming our littleness. the
steamer returned our salute and
disappeared into the fog.
We rounded the buoy on which
perched q solitary seagull, and
were at last at the mercy of Lons
