The September gales had Just begun to rage with great .fierceness, and the southwest wind, so terrible upon this coast, strewed the rocks with wrecks. One clear, bright morning, while the wind blew furiously, and the sea ran mountains hich. Sir Launce and Stafford had walked down upon the more. While contemplating the sublime horror of the spectacle, they caught sight of a small craft, which appeared to be not more than three or four miles out, rising and falling upon the waves, and driving to wards the shore with frightful rapidity. Sir Launce took his glass out of his pocket, and by its aid descried her to be a fishing smack belonging to renrnyd- d.vn. Others had seen her also ; and in a few moments the two gentlemen were joined by several curious watchers, among whom was Jenkins, the postmaster. "It's Ralph Trevethlck's boat," he said : "It has been out days beyond Its time. They must be mad to think of putting in "Don't rob the sea of Its dead, or 'twill during such a gale, and the attempt will take vengeance upon you and yours. The cost them their lives. Look at her !
