She was going in another direction; she had met a cross tide, and was being carried by it past the skerries, past the towering cliffs of Havnholme, and into the quiet smiling little bay which gave that island its blessed name.
Holtum, who could only look up with quivering lips in reply. "My friends," Fred resumed, in graver tones, "you know why we are all here to-day. We meet to rejoice over little Signy's preservation, and we meet here to thank God who made this little holme a havn for her. It was well named Havnholme. It has given shelter to many a storm-tossed bark.
I believe it is admitted that you had less business in Trullyabister than Mr. Adiesen had in Havnholme." There was no denying that truth, and the boys hung their heads. "Follow me," said the ogre. "First you shall show me if the animal recognises your call, and after that I'll tell you what I mean to do with you."
After being rested and cheered, Fred carried Signy to the Lunda boat, saying to Yaspard as he did so, "We must all go together; and we can't bother with a boat in tow, so we had better secure the Osprey here till she can be fetched." "Yes; and then if any of the search-party come to Havnholme, they will know by that that Signy has been found."
They go everywhere, and stay just as long as they please. I could not count how many times this summer they have camped out for the night on Havnholme, and the Grün holme, and the Ootskerries. Guess they'll be surprised at the waking up they'll get tomorrow!"

Your great-grandfather wanted all this island to himself, and he offered the Laird of Lunda some small outlying islands instead of the piece of Boden which belonged to him. Mr.
Garson desires, and I cordially agree, that the picnic I might call it the celebration of our thanksgiving for my Signy's preservation. Yes hum! this meeting of my family with our friends of Lunda is to take place on Havnholme!"
"No one, uncle; only I was alone in the boat and on Havnholme, and I was so afraid," and then she began to cry bitterly. He drew her close and looked frowning at Yaspard; "You had charge of your sister!" he said very sternly. "The lad is not to blame, Mr. Adiesen," Fred exclaimed. "He was doing a good action, and he has suffered much also. Don't be hard on Yaspard." "Mr.

They are making for Havnholme now, and I expect they mean to stay there all night. Oh, bother feuds and family fights! I wish I were with them." "They must be nice boys," said Signy. "It does seem very sad that you can't have them for chums.
