"There it goes again!" she exclaimed. "It is a really interesting sight, but rather hard work, I should think." When tired of watching the fisherman, they wandered back and forth along the beach in search of curiosities, picking up bits of sponge, rockweed, seaweed, and a greater variety of shells than they had been able to find on other parts of the shore which they had visited.
This mass of rockweed, so called, seems to come from the Indian continent at the north, but the natives have a theory that it is the cast-off growth of submerged islands, loosened from its native soil by the chafing of the restless sea after the raging of a severe storm. So the Singhalese have their "Atlantis;" fable, like history, repeats itself.
Even among these swarm starfishes and limpets and other crustaceans, and streamers of kelp squirm out from the rock where they keep slender hold, to sway in the restless water, just as all the rocks above a certain depth and below a certain height are olive black with dense hangings of rockweed while in depths that are just awash at low tide they are olive brown with unending mats of Irish moss.
The violent throbbings of her heart could be seen undulating the long hair as the moaning sea tosses the rockweed. "My daughter," again said Mrs. Scudder. Mary gave a great sigh, like that of a sleeper awakening from a dream, and, looking at her mother, said, "Do you suppose he really loves me, mother?" "Indeed he does, Mary, as much as man ever loved woman!"
Taking the bundle, now somewhat larger than a football, he climbed the steep path at the end of the bank, and started for the woods. "I'll be home before supper," he flung back as he disappeared beyond the crest of the bluff. In less than an hour he was back, bringing the sweater minus the rockweed.
