Watching the water by the light which he had returned and procured, he saw it was rising in an alarming manner ; so he hastily dressed himself and went to the window, and opening the sash, which was all in one piece and hung on hinges, he looked out on the glaring, boiling flood below. As he stood thus, looking down on the terrible, raging whirl pool, he was rapidly revolving in his mind plans of escape from their perilous position ; but every ave nue of retreat seemed closed. As he cast his ey...es about in despair, he started joyfully at the thought of the "Crows' Nest" up in the great elm a place which could be reached by a flight of steps springing from the window ledge and leading far up into the forks of the tree. Smiling at the fact that he had not thought of it before, he sprang up the stairs into the fanciful re treat, which Robbie in his boyish fancy had planned and built in the top of the lofty tree, and which, on warm, sultry days, had proved to be an aerial lounging-place as comfortable as it was novel.
