LEGEND OF MOULIN HUET by LIZZIE A. FREETH Author Of _The Adventures of Carl Skinflint among the Fairies_ Guernsey: Le Lievre, Printer, Star-Office, 10, Bordage Street. 1872 DEDICATED TO "THE CONWAY BOYS." DEDICATION. Though the story contained in the following pages has no connection with them, yet it is my wish to dedicate this little work to "The Conway Boys," and all those connected with that most invaluable institution, "H.M.S. Conway," lying at Rockferry, Birkenhead. I have particular reason to speak well of the "Conway," as any "Boy" may know who may have been on board for the last five or six years, from the fact that two of my brothers, after passing a successful career under the careful teaching of the Rev. Henry O'Brien; L.L.D., Cork, continued to build on the good foundation laid, and left the "Conway" with credit both to their teachers and themselves. I shall always have pleasure in meeting with any "Conway Boy," and hearing of the good old ship to which I wish a long continuance of her success in preparing Boys creditably for one of the great sources of our national strength and wealth--"Our Merchant Navy." I must just add a word of thanks to my friends in Guernsey and elsewhere, who so kindly encouraged and supported me when publishing on a former occasion, and whom I see, by reference to the subscription list, coming forward again--among some new friends--with a repetition of their kindness. Montpelier, Guernsey, 1872. CHAPTER I.
