We can see just as well and be comfortable.” Indeed, the protection of the stout plate glass, so thick and tough that sea-birds on a stormy night dashed themselves to painless death against it, was very welcome.

At the worst the girls might be com- pelled to pass the night on the rock.‘ He knew that the tug with the two relief men would make a valiant effort to reach the lighthouse at the earliest possible moment. When the men joined him the girls could embark. As it was, the affair was spiced with adventure.

He left. them, as he said, “to gobble up the remains," but soon he shouted down the stairs to tell them that the Daisy had round- ed Carn du.
