This vessel therefore left the fleet before dawn, and carried the news to Gorleston that the Lively Poll had been run down and sunk with all her crew. It was Fred Martin's wife who undertook to break this dreadful news to poor Mrs Lockley. Only those who have had such duty to perform can understand the struggle it cost the gentle-spirited Isa.
"Listen," said Bob, with an earnest look that was apt to captivate his friends; "I want help. Will you do somethin' for me?" "Anything," replied the boy with emphasis, "from pitch and toss to manslaughter!" "Well, look here. You know Eve Mooney?" "Do I know the blessedest angel in all Gorleston? In course I does. Wot of her?" "She's ill very ill," said Lumpy.
Leaving Cromer, we stood on for Great Yarmouth, inside a long line of sandbanks, which are known by the light-vessels stationed at their different ends. Great Yarmouth is situated on the seashore, at the southern end of Norfolk. The river Yare follows a serpentine course, and falls into the sea at the village of Gorleston, a short distance from Yarmouth to the southward.
It was the turning-point of his life; and, while his mind was busy with the great issues that must be faced sooner or later by all mankind, he listened with mingled surprise, hope, fear, and pleasure, to the free and hearty converse of the godly crew of the gospel-ship, as they discoursed pleasantly, now of the homes in Yarmouth or Gorleston, now of the home above; or sang, with stentorian voices, some of the lively hymns that are happily current in the present day, or prayed in the ungrammatical language, and with the intense fervour, of untutored but thoroughly earnest men.
Lord Strathcona regretted his enforced absence and sent "Godspeed" to the new steamer. She arrived at Gorleston July 18, proving an excellent sea-boat, with light coal consumption. She is larger than the vessel in which Drake sailed round the world, or Dampier raided the Spanish Main, or than the Speedy, which Earl Dundonald made the terror of the French and Spanish.
I have wanted so much to know about that, and how it affected you." A few questions gave Dyce the comfortable assurance that Iris had not seen Mrs. Toplady for a long time. Trouble with servants, she said, coming after a slight illness, had decided her to quit her house for the rest of the summer, and the Barkers persuaded her to come to Gorleston.
For some time she plied him with questions about the fisher-folk of Yarmouth and Gorleston, in whom she had taken great interest during a summer spent at the former town, at which time she had made the acquaintance of little Billy. Then she began to talk of the sea and the fishery, and the smacks with their crews.
"I've heard of that gale." "Have you, Miss?" said Billy with a slightly surprised look. "That's queer, now. I thought nobody know'd o' that gale 'cept us o' the North Sea, an', p'raps, some o' the people o' Yarmouth an' Gorleston." "I rather think that I must have read of it somewhere," said Ruth.
