"I went there twice last summer; and I never enjoyed myself so much as I did in climbing the rocks, and looking out upon the ocean. I want you to see the place at once, Belle." "I shall be delighted to go, especially if we are to sail in the Rosabel," replied Miss Peterson. "Isn't it a nice thing to have a boat named after you!"
By the most tremendous exertion, and at the imminent peril of his life, he succeeded in guiding her to the beach, upon which she struck with prodigious force, crushing in her keel and timbers beneath the shock. Without a word of explanation, he grasped the fair Rosabel in his arms, and leaped into the angry surges, which were driven high upon the rocks above him.
The fresh air will do me good. I think I'll go out and see if I can be of any assistance to poor Vick. Have they had any news of Rosabel?" "I think not. They have telephoned to the city to ask the police to watch out for her, especially at the trains. She's been terribly depressed, they say, since her brother went to the Navy training school up near Chicago.
Vick that I am here, I think she might feel like seeing me." "I'll see," said the woman dubiously, and went away. Courtney sat down on a sofa in the parlour. He looked around the lamp-lit room....Over in the corner was the upright piano on which Rosabel used to play for him.
"If the ladies wish me to reef the mainsail, I will do so," said Leopold. "O, no; don't, don't, Leopold!" cried Belle. "I think this is just lovely." "Fun alive isn't it?" chimed in Rosabel. "It would spoil it all to reef." "If we only had a man with us, it would be another thing," groaned Mr. Redmond, with a shudder, as the boat went down to her washboard again.
"It blew a perfect hurricane then, and it may to-day." "If you are alarmed, Leopold, we can return," suggested Rosabel. "We can hardly do that, now, for the tide has risen so high that the beach is nearly covered, and my boat would be dashed to pieces, if we have much of a squall."
Taking down the receiver she uttered a sweet "hello," because, as she said, "You never know who's at the other end, and it's just as likely to be HIM as not." "Is that you, Annie? This is Mrs. Vick. May I speak to Rosabel?" "Why, Rosabel isn't here, Mrs. Vick." "What?" "Rosabel isn't here." There was a short silence. Then: "Are you joking with me, Annie? If she isn't up yet, please tell her to "
"The mate of the Orion is in charge of her. She is a new boat, finished just before I left New York, and offered for sale. On the day after you lost your sloop, I sent the mate to purchase her for you. There she is, and she is yours. You can go on board of her now, if you please." "Let me go, too," interposed Rosabel.
Before the sloop had gone a quarter of a mile she was buried in the fog, and Leopold could see nothing but the little circle of water of which the Rosabel was the centre. With the compass on the floor of the standing-room, he headed the sloop for the ledges, outside of which he expected to find plenty of cod and haddock.
"It won't pay," replied Leopold, walking to the place where Stumpy stood, exactly over the buried treasure. "Why not? You said Miss Rosabel liked clams." "It will take too long. We must get back to the hotel by dinner time." "Just as you say; but if the girls like clams, it would be a treat to them; and this is just the place to do this thing." "We haven't time to-day."
