CHAPTER I

THE WRECK IN THE BAY

ON a dark NovembeT afternoon, not many years
ago, Captain Boyns sat smoking Iiis pipe
in his own chimney-comer, gazing with a some-
what anxious expression at the fire. There was
cause for anxiety, for there raged at the time
one of the fiercest storms that ever blew on the
shores of England.

The wind was howling in the chimney with wild
fury ; slates and tiles were being swept off the roofs
of the fishermen's huts and wliirled up into the air
as if they had been chips of wood ; and rain swept
down and along the ground in great sheets of
water, or whirled madly in the air and mingled
with the salt spray that came direct from the
English Channel; while, high and loud above all
other sounds, rose the loud plunging roar of the
mighty sea.

"I fear there will be a call before long, Nancy,
for the services of the new lifeboat," said Captain
Boyns, rising and taking down an oilcloth coat and
sou'-wegter, which he began to put on leisurely;
" I '11 go down to the beach and see what 's doin' at
the Cove."

The captain was a fine specimen of a British
sailor. He was a massive man, of iron build, and
30 tall that his sou'-wester almost touched the
ceiling of his low-roofed parlour. His face was
eminently masculine, and his usual expression was
a compound of sternness, gravity, and good-humour.
He was about forty years of age, and, unlike the
men of his class at that time, wore a short curly
black beard and moustache, which, with his deeply
bronzed countenance, gave him the aspect of a
foreigner,

" God help those on the sea," said Mrs. Boyns, in
reply to her husband's remark; "I'm thankful,
Dan, that you are on shore this night."

Nancy was a good-looking, lady-like woman of
thirty-three or thereabouts, without anything par-
ticularly noteworthy about her. She was busy with
her needle at the time we introduce her, and re-
lapsed into silence, while her stalwart husband
pulled on a pair of huge sea-boots.

"Did you hear a gun, Nancy ? " cried the captain,
as a terrific blast shook every timber in the cottage
~" there I ain't that it again ? "
