At the summer watering-places in Barnegat Bay it used to be a great source of amusement to the boatmen to tie a sneak-box to a landing, and wait quietly near by to see the city boys attempt to get into her.
When Neville's watch went off duty, Larry found the sea no rougher than on countless other runs he had made along the Atlantic coast. The wind had freshened to a strong gale, but he reached the forecastle with no great difficulty. Without marked change the San Gardo carried the same heavy weather from Barnegat Light to the Virginia capes.
At five o'clock the wind blew forty miles an hour at sundown it had increased to fifty; at eight o'clock it bowled along at sixty. Morgan, who had been to the village for supplies, reported that the tide was over the dock at Barnegat and that the roof of the big bathing-house at Beach Haven had been ripped off and landed on the piazza.
We three brought the vessel up as far as Barnegat, where we procured assistance, and she arrived safe at the quarantine ground. As soon as we got pratique, Mallet, Barnet and myself, went up to town to look after our affairs, leaving the brig below. The owners gave us thirty dollars each, to begin upon.
This new hulk had taken the place of the old schooner which had served Captain Holt as a landmark on that eventful night when he strode Barnegat Beach in search of Bart, and which by the action of the ever-changing tides, had gradually settled until now only a hillock marked its grave a fate which sooner or later would overtake this newly landed sloop itself.

He seemed never to be out of his gig unless at the bedside of some patient. So long and wearing had the routes become often beyond Barnegat and as far as Westfield that the sorrel gave out, and he was obliged to add another horse to his stable.
All these denizens of Barnegat had at one time or another climbed up the sloop's chains and peered down the hatchway to the sand covering the keelson, and most of them had used it as a shelter behind which, in swimming-time, they had put on or peeled off such mutilated rags as covered their nakedness, but no one of them had yet conceived the idea of turning it into a Bandit's Home.
Ronald Tower's trip to Barnegat won't amount to a row of beans against the trouble pretty Winifred can give you. Dios! It's a pity. She's a real beauty, and that's more than any one can say for you, Brother William." "You go to " "That's better! You're reviving. Well, good-by, Senator! Au revoir sans adieux!" The big man swaggered out. Meiklejohn drank no spirits.
"He has startled us all with the most wonderful proposition. The Government is going to build a life-saving station at Barnegat beach, and they have offered him the position of keeper, and he says he will take it if I will let Archie go with him as one of his crew." Doctor John's face instantly assumed a graver look.
