But we had never seen it in winter, with snow on the sand-dunes and the wind flying over with sleet and rain. An old house with seafaring memories knows how to behave in a storm. At high tide, our house sits up not so very far above the level of the sea. A little Ark on a Uttle Ararat, it was built nearly a century ago by Jonah Atkins for Noah Smith; Noah and Jonah — surely names of men equipped to go a voyage. The lumber for the house had to be brought by ship from Maine, thrown overboard off ...shore, rafted up to the land in time of high-course tide, spread out on the hill to dry, and then set sol- idly together, and pegged. Jonah x'\tkins made his wooden pegs to stay. The gale while we were there blew great ships far out of their course at sea, but there was not a shiver in the timbers of our roof. We took the first stormy day to explore the house. To an inlander there is something magical about discovering seafaring implements and deep- sea fishing-gear of any kind about a house. You expect to find such things on ships and wharves; but when you find them high and dry, stowed away under rafters, they rouse your anchored spirit like a ship-ahoy.
