Baker City, Jan. 2 7 ,1973.n38tf, “ Be careful how you venturo out there! you’d better come back; the rocks are treacherous aud the cur rent is running out.” These words of caution were ad dressed to a beautiful girl of about eigbteeu summers, who in sport had ventured ont on the shiny rocks left uncovered, except by the sea weed, at low tide. It was a lovely day in early sum mer. For several days past it bad been stormy, but now the weather was so beautiful that no one would have mistrusted its ever being un pleasant, were it not for the waves which were beating with savage fury ou the rocks, as though striving to break through them and annihilate the little New England village of Sandy Harbor, which nestled behind the huge cliffs, as if for protection. The young people had taken ad vantage of the fine weather to have a picnic on the cliff. They were all engaged in ramb ling over tho rocks, wueu they were startled by the opening words of this «ketch, uttered in a loud voice by “ Uncle Joe,” a retired sailor,who had come with them to the picnic to help prepare the chowder. Upon hearing the words, tlie young lady addressed turned half around—her eyes sparkling and her cheeks glowing with excitement. In turning her foot slipped on tho seaweed aud in another instant she was struggling in the seethiDg wa ters. Tho gay party on shore were so petrified with fright and surprise, that only one of their number had the presence of mind to uiako an ef fort to 6ave her. George Seymour was the one. Di vesting himself of his coat and vest before tho others had recovered from their stupefaction, he was in the water and swimming with long powerful strokes for the place where the light dress of Alice Colville was visible above the water, as she was hurried out towards the open ooean. Moments seemed almost like hours to the anxious lookers-on, as he bat tled the waves in the frantic eadeav* or to reach her. At length be disappears! Breath less they wait!
