"No damage done," exclaimed the Captain, as he assisted the dogs to haul the sledge out of the water. "No damage!" repeated Benjy, with a rueful look, "why, I'm soaked from top to toe!" "Yes, you've got the worst of it," said Leo, with a laugh; "that comes of being forward, Benjy.
"Oh, but Leo will do that," said David. "He is quite escort enough for them till we can get alongside." As we approached still nearer the schooner we hauled down our sail. In a short time the boat returned and towed us alongside. The crew of the stranger were looking out eagerly at us over the bulwarks, and ropes were now thrown to assist us in getting on deck.
By the dead Leo knelt Ayesha, gazing at that icy, smiling face, but speaking no single word. At length she rose, and said, "Darkness draws near, my Holly, that deep darkness which foreruns the glory of the dawn. Now fare thee well for one little hour.
