It was now the eleventh; and Lucilla had left Ramsgate with Nugent on the fifth. All this time but one small morsel of news rewarded our inquiries after Oscar and even that small morsel seemed to me to be unworthy of belief.

"She may do what she likes with them except that she must not peep into books, or take up pens, till I come to you at Ramsgate. It is most wonderful-beautiful to see how those new eyes of hers do get along. When I next meet goot Mr. Sebrights hey! how I shall cock-crow over that spick-span respectable man!"

They want a trip to Brighton or Broadstairs or Ramsgate, and a whiff of fresh sea-air, eh?" said the captain with a look of satisfaction. "No not to these places," said Ruth; "I thought of Yarmouth." "Well, Yarmouth just as good. Any part o' the coast will do to blow the London cobwebs out o' their brains say Yarmouth." "Very good, captain, but my difficulty is, how to manage it."

No one therefore knows, or can know, by reason of the perpetual shifting of the sands, all the passages or swatches, either as to direction or depth, of the Goodwins; but two or three main swatches are tolerably well known to the Deal and Ramsgate lifeboatmen.

"Cecily, Cecily, Cecily!" Mina darted back and thrust this wonderful document into Cecily's hands. "He does mean something, you see, he will do something!" she cried. "Oh, who's Broadstairs, I wonder." Cecily took the letter and read. The Imp reappeared with a red volume in her hand. "Viscount Broadstairs eldest son of the Earl of Ramsgate!" she read with wide-open eyes.

"Charlie Fish," says Tom Cooper to me, in a grave voice, "what would some of them young gen'lmen as comes to Ramsgate in the summer, and says they'd like to go out in the lifeboat, think of this?"

Accidents will happen. The Ramsgate lifeboat service is admirably regulated, and for once that an error of this kind can be pointed out, we can point to dozens ay, hundreds of cases in which the steamer and lifeboat have gone straight as the crow flies to the rescue, and have done good service on occasions when all other lifeboats would have failed, so great is the value of steam in such matters.

By the directions of the coxswain and the lifeboatmen the exhausted crew were at last got down life-lines into the lifeboat, seventeen in number, including the captain, mates and apprentices; while twelve Lascars got into the Ramsgate lifeboat, which had about this time arrived to help in the work of rescue.

Good Heavens! if my husband was to be believed, his mother must have tracked us to London, tracked us to the church, tracked us to the railway station, tracked us to Ramsgate!

If, full of "high spirits," she took long rides on a donkey at Ramsgate, and ran races with other children on the sands, it was a proof of the sweetest human condescension the donkey's opinion not being taken.
