The memory of that stormy voyage of the Forfarshire, which ended in disaster on the Harcar rocks in the Farne group, remains in men's minds as the dark and tragic setting which throws into bright relief the gallant action of the father and daughter who dared almost certain death to rescue their fellow-creatures in peril.

His memory of early, ardent days was stirred, and he gladly warmed himself by its fires. "But, Hubert," he went on, "you are a thoughtful young man how do you account for the fact that Christ, Himself, attended social functions? He was not a recluse.
