" The stern of the Zephyr came up to the rock, and the gallant coxswain assisted Mary to a seat by his side. Tony and Charles resumed their places at the oars. "How pretty your boat is! "' exclaimed Mary, delighted with the appearance of the Zephyr. " Very pretty indeed. Give way ! " "But won't it tip over?" cried Mary, as the boat darted out of the cove.
