The new yacht came up into the wind, when the Orion did so, and one of the boats of the latter conveyed Rosabel, Leopold, and Stumpy to the sloop, bringing back the mate and the man who had come with him from New York. The new Rosabel was thirty-two feet long, with a large cabin, furnished with berths, and a cook-room forward.
The breeze was fresh, and in a few moments Leopold landed her on the narrow beach beneath the lofty rock. The maiden left the boat, climbed the high rock, and wandered about among the wild cliffs and chasms, all alone, for Leopold could not leave the inanimate Rosabel which the rude sea might injure to follow the animate and beautiful Rosabel in her ramble on the shore.
"I think he is nice now," said Rosabel, candidly, and without a blush, for the little beauty was conscious of nothing but a kindly regard for the landlord's son. "He doesn't talk a bit country, and isn't clumsy and awkward, like many young fellows away from the city." "His manners are as pleasant as those of any young man I ever met. Do you know, Belle, he speaks German?" "What, Leopold!"
"Who said we was?" demanded old Caleb. "Most people think she's good-looking," said Rosabel, somewhat grudgingly. "And she isn't any taller than I am, Mr. White." "Well, you ain't no dwarft, Rosie," exclaimed Farmer White, with a brave laugh. "You must be five foot seven or eight, but you ain't skinny like she is.
"Oh, Lord, ain't you ever going to get tired of throwin' that up to me?" groaned Mr. Vick. "I never mention Jim Bagley's name but what you up and say something about them hogs. Now, as a matter of fact, them hogs " "For goodness sake, Pa, you're not going to tell Mr. Thane about that hog business, are you?" cried Rosabel. "Well, when your Ma begins to insinuate that I got the worst of "
Leopold turned at that moment, and discovered a bundle of shawls and water-proofs emerging from the companion-way. "Leopold Bennington! I'm glad to see you!" exclaimed the bundle, in a voice which the young pilot promptly identified as that of Miss Rosabel Hamilton. "Thank you, Miss Hamilton.
"Father says you have a new hotel; and I hope we shall stay here all summer." "The Sea Cliff House, folks say, is about as good as anything on the coast; and I hope the new hotel will suit you well enough to keep you here a long time," said the gallant young man, as he assisted Rosabel down the steps and into the stern-sheets of the boat.
Let's wait till Dr. Smith comes out. He's up there with with Alix Crown. Maybe he can tell us how " "Doc Smith isn't up there. He's gone up the road in his car with Dick Hurdle and why, Rosie, you're shivering like a leaf. Have you got a chill? Come on home. We'll have Dr. Smith in as soon as he gets back to " "I don't want the doctor," cried Rosabel fiercely. "I won't have one, I tell you.
Pulling upon the rope till he was satisfied that the anchor had hooked upon one of the sharp rocks below the beach, he prepared to go on shore. The beach sloped so sharply that the sands were not more than twenty feet from the stern of the Rosabel. It was now quite dark, but the scene was frequently lighted up by the sharp lightning.
The skipper of the Rosabel ran under the lee of the Orion, and came up into the wind all shaking. Leopold threw his painter to the uniformed seamen of the yacht, and then hauled down his jib. "Where are we?" asked Captain Bounce, rather nervously for an old salt. "Two miles off the High Rock ledges; you were headed directly for them," replied Leopold, as he let go the halyards of the mainsail.
