way that would have warmed the heart of a
Tipperary faction fighter.
A quiet little nook lay at my feet; it was
nearly land locked, and the commotion out
side scarcely affected it.
As I looked down into the clear, still water
1 thought what a jolly place it would lie for
a dive and swim, and nothing but my total
ignorance of the natatory art kept me from
stripping off and plunging in. Suddenly my
attention was attracted by a slight “flop” on
the water, and looking round I saw a big,
bullet looking head appear above the surface.
I had never seen one, but I knew at once that
this was a seal, having heard that they fre
quented the Inch at certain times of the year.
He evidently did not see me, and, breathless
with excitement, I stole the rifle to my shoul
der. I covered him—but my band shook so.
I was afraid to fire. Taking u long, long
breath, to try and stay the bouncing of my
heart, I again took aim, pressed the trigger,
and had the satisfaction to see the fish beast
give a conclusive spring out of the water, roll
over on its side, and commence splashing anil
tumbling about in a way that told me it had
got its death wound. Almost mad with joy,
I threw the rifle to the ground, and began
clambering down the face of the rocks to
where my prey was now giving its last kick.
I managed to get down to the water’s edge,
and stretching out, I was just able to touch
my seal, and when it gave a struggle to one
side, and I missed him. I was not to be done,
however, so catching a firm hold of a tuft of
sea weed growing ont of a rock, I bent for
ward and made another grab at it, when—
whish! and I was in, head first! How I man-
aged it I don’t know, but when I came to my
senses I found myseif clutching a rugged
ledge of rock like grim death.
On trying to climb up, what was my con
sternation to find that the rocks shelved in
under me and afforded no foothold, while the
ledge On which my hands rested was so slimy
ami wet that I could hardly keep my band on
it, much less raise myself by it. Half stupid
with fright, I could do nothing but yell out
for help for some time, but the only answer
was the mocking screanH of the sea gulls as
they whirled over my heml and the roar of
the waves as they dashed against the rocks.
Seeing at length that I was only wasting
tho little strength I had left, I stopped shout
ing and looked about to see if there was no
way of escajie. Except about two feet of a
ledge to which I held on, I now saw that on
both sides of me, for several yards, the face
of the rock was perfectly smooth and slimy,
so that I had not the slightest chance of being
able to work along, hand over hand, to some
spot where I could get up.
Ohl what would I have given then to be
able to swim then even a half dozen strokes,
for what would have been sufficient to bring
me to a place where I could easily hi.ve as
cended. But it was all no use—there I was,
and there I should stay, till help came. Again
and again I shouted—but all to no purpose.
What was my horror to see that an oc
casional wave now washed in through the
inlet and came surging up to where I clung!
I remembered it was ebbing when we left
Granton harbor, and that the tide must now
be on the flow!
My terror gave me fresh strength, and I
gave the most frantic screams for help. It
seemed a fearful thing to be drowned by
inches—to watch every wash of the waves go
a little and a little higher.
The sea was now dashing in angrily through
the inlet and I found it hard to ke^p my pro
carious hold on the ledge.
Higher and higher came each wave surging
up to me, and I felt it was but a matter of
moments. I closed my eyes and tried to pray,
but I could think of nothing but my dear,
fond mother, and of her anguish when she
would hear that her only child was gone.
Higher and more angry! I felt my bands
relax and I was just sinking when suddenly
I felt a good, sound thump on the back. It
seemed to revive me, and looking over
my shoulder, what was my joy to see a
short, stout plank washing up against
me; it had been driven in through the
opening without my noticing it!
To clutch it was the work of an instant, and
the moment I got a firm hold of it I felt I
was safe. Pushing it before me I struck out,
and managed to propel it to a place in the
rocks where I easily got up. As soon I felt
my feet on firm footing again I fell on my
knees and cried like a child. I must have
stayed there some time, for the first thing
that aroused me was a dash of spray over my
bead, as if some wave was making a last,
angry snatch at what they had begun to look
on as their lawful prey. This wakened me up
to the knowledge that the sooner I was out of
that the better, and I proceeded to climb up
the rocks, a matter of no small difficulty, as I
was thoroughly worn out and numbed.
When I crawled back to the “camp,” I
found the boys over a blazing fire, cooking
meat and the fish they had caught.
They all gave a cry of astonishment as
they looked up and saw my pale, haggard
face and dripping clothes, and commenced a
volley of questions, which I vainly tried to
answer. Ned, however, took in the situation,
and clapping down a pannican of ale, with
■bout an ounce of black pepper in it, on the
fire, he quickly had a drink ready which, I
im sure, ought to have revived any one who
bad only been a short time drowned, so potent
was it. Thanks to it, the fire and a good
dinner, added to a boy’s well known recuper
ative powers, I was soon all right and told
tny story.
I found that the boys did not intend calling
me till dinner was ready, as they feared they
might «poil my getting a shot They had no
supposition of anything being wrong, only
thinking that I was intrenched in some quiet
spot, waiting for a “pot shot” at a rabbit
If 1 hail had to wait for them I fear they
would have found it bard to find me. After
dinner we went to look at the scene of my
adventure. We found it a regular seething
caldron, and I shuddered as 1 saw the waves
dashing about madly from side to side against
the rocks, and thought what would have been
my fate if I bad lieen a few minutes more in
the position I was iu.
There was no sign of the cause of the
adventure, so I suppose it must either
have been washed out to sea or have
sunk to the bottom. Ned quaintly
remarked, when I said, “I wish I knew the
fate of my seal,” “We i, one thing is certain,
be was near putting a seal on your fate.”
