Boston (Mass.) -- Fiction; Women philanthropists -- Fiction
There is no more to tell. The world knows the rest. Seven days of calm
weather, and then from the coral reefs of the southern sea to the rocky
headlands of the north, the storm-king raged. Madly the fierce Atlantic
lashed its waves on cliff and beach and sunken ledge, sending dumb
terror to the hearts that had seen their loved ones go down unto the sea
in ships.
Somewhere on that wild waste of waters, whether in the chill, gray dawn
or in midnight blackness, amid the lightning’s flash and thunder’s
peal,—God only knows,—a little ship went down. And when the sharp, swift
summons came, two brave hearts went forth together into the great
Unseen, knowing of a surety that this, thank God, was not the end—only
the end of the beginning.
