adding with a touch of shrewdness: "After his second shipwreck last
summer, I think likely that I must have recurred very fresh to him."
The strong lake winds now blow unchecked over the sand-hills where once
stood the board shanty of Abigail Becker. But the summer tourist of the
great lakes, who remembers her story, will not fail to give her a place
in his imagination with Perry's battle-line and the Indian heroines of
Cooper and Longfellow. Through her the desolate island of Long Point is
richly dowered with the interest which a brave and generous action gives
to its locality.
