The lantern lighted, Snoach be gan to move barrels: of Smoked fish to the head of a long sloping spin way down which they rolled to the hands of the loaders at the end of the wharf.

If conven lent, ye may give me a pound to nay the fiddlers. There'll be five a-playln' for this dance. Snoach stood over the barrel, as he critically examined its bead, so that Colin got a look at his benefactor bene-factor "a tall brawny sea-god, his with hands on the chimes shot out of the barrel Into, the shallows. A boy and girl a little younger than he stood near, In bathing costumes. Daylight was coming. The girl bad a face and form not easily forgotten," Colin writes. "Although the light was dim I could see clearly after the darkness of the barrel and the first thing I saw was that shapely, beautiful girl, Are you bound for Cambridge?1 the boy asked with a friendly smile. "Yes." "I itm Emory Woodbridge and this is my sister Nancy. We come here every day at flood-tide for swim. We meet many tide-riders. Our house is yonder on the hill. Go through the pine bush to the road. My father will help you. I'll take care of the barrel-head." Colin with his bag set out for the road, wondering at the strange wa ter-wisdom of Ebenezer Snoach. Mr. Woodbridge welcomed him and put him to bed abovestalrs where he slept until he was called about two o'clock for dinner, at which he sat beside the plump, blond, dark-eyed Nancy. ! "I know all about you," she said. "You are a great lover. My school friend, Pat Fayerweather, has told me the story." "Oh, that story!" he' exclaimed. "Thinking of it kept me happy In the barrel.

For the present I will send your horse to my stable,' Colin was mustered Into the com pany of Capt Amos Farnsworth from Groton. It was quartered in lodges made of hewn timber, rough boards and sail-cloth. Only ten men In the company were in uniforms and they were of varying colors red, blue and gray to suit the family taste. The most were in shabby farm clothing. There were also ragged men In torn boots. Some were unarmed.
