Página 50 - must kape an eye on that There is a new proverb on the coast. The folk say, when a great wind blows, " This'll bring Grenfell ! " Often it does. He is impatient of delay, fretted by inaction ; a gale is the wind for him — a wind to take him swiftly towards the place ahead. Had he been a weakling, he would long ago have died on the coast ; had he been a coward, a multitude of terrors would long ago have driven him to a life ashore; had he been anything but a true man and tender, indeed, he would...

Then came the Julia Sheridan, thirty-five feet long, which the mission doctor bought while she yet lay under water from her last wreck ; he raised her, refitted her with what money he had, and pursued his venturesome and beneficent career, until she, too, got beyond so hard a service.

The sturdy little coastal boat, with four times the strength of the Strathcona, had made hard work of it that day — there was a time when she but held her own off a lee shore in the teeth of the big wind. It was drawing on towards night when the doctor came aboard for a surgeon from Boston, a specialist, for whom he had...
Página 133 - But the nearest house being at least ten miles away, it meant almost one's life to have no dry clothing. Fortunately, I had. The driver at once galloped the dogs back to the woods we had left, and I had as hard a mile's running as ever I had, for my clothing was growing to resemble the armor of an ancient knight more and more every yard, and though in my youth I was accustomed to break the ice to bathe if necessary, I never tried running a race in a coat of mail.
