ible dream.
But--where am I? Oh! I remember! Oh, Yaspard! you have found me!
Oh, God heard all I said to Him!"

She leaned back on Fred's arm again, and looked up at him with the same
confiding look she had raised when they were galloping over the Lunda
heath, and she said very sweetly, "In the boat I thought of you helping
Yaspard to find me."

They had brought wine and other nourishment with them, hoping that
these might be found of use in that very way; and after Signy had
partaken of refreshment, she was able to smile a little and tell them
how she managed to land.

"The boat just went where it liked," she said, "and I was _so_
dreadfully frightened for a little while. Then, as I prayed, it seemed
all at once that I wasn't afraid any more, so I sat still and watched
the sea, and wondered who would pick me up. After a long, long time
the boat stopped rocking, and then I knew she had got out of the tides
into the bay here. I had been here with Yaspard, and knew it; and I
thought if I could row, or steer, or something, I might get the
_Osprey_ to the land. I was afraid to try with the oars, so I went and
steered, and I really managed to turn the boat so that she was carried
to the shore at the right place. I got out and tied the rope as I had
seen Yaspard do. It felt so nice to stand on the ground again! But I
was very tired; and I came up here, and looked all round at the sea,
and I never had felt it to be a dreadful, dreadful thing before--never
in my life! I had so loved the sea! But _then_--oh, it seemed so
large, and powerful, and cruel! Somehow I began to tremble all over
after that, and I am afraid I cried very much. I am not sure when it
was I fell asleep, but it seems ages ago."

They would not let her talk any more about what had happened, but
turned the conversation to home, and Signy was soon able to chat on
that theme with a degree of composure.

After being rested and cheered, Fred carried Signy to the Lunda boat,
saying to Yaspard as he did so, "We must all go together; and we can't
bother with a boat in tow, so we had better secure the _Osprey_ here
till she can be fetched."

"Yes; and then if any of the search-party come to Havnholme, they will
know by that that Signy has been found."

The hour was late, and Yaspard began to speculate upon what Aunt Osla
and Uncle Brues would say on being roused from their slumbers to receive
the adventurers and hear the story which had so nearly
