The circle seated themselves in their wonted place on deck ; a silence ensued : " And where did I knock off?" inquired the teller. " Just where the gale struck the ship and she was thrown on her beam s end, " answered one of the listeners. " No, it was where she split on the rock, just as she was making a snug harbor, " replied another. " That was not the spot neither, " STORIES OP THE SAILOR. 151 interrupted a third, "it was where that strong swimmer, with a shark at his heel, made his way thr...ough breakers to the shore, and then dropped on the sand, with his strength all spent : don t you remember the beautiful girl, who came down to the beach, and held his head on her knee, when her blessed tears dropped on his cheek ?" " Oh ! that was the spot, " exclaimed the story-teller, " and a sweeter creature never lived ; she knew nothing about that man, only that he had been wrecked, for she was standing on a cliff, when she saw the ship strike the rock, and go down, yet soon as he reached the beach, and was trying to get further from the waveband kept fainting and falling, till he couldn t rise any more, she came at once to him, sat directly down, and raised his head on her knee, and then bless her sweet heart !
