Streets were transformed into leaping. ri ushing rivers by the terrible downpour of. rain, while the breakers on that lone, dreary Neéw England coast seemed to defy the challenge of: theroaring storm. The fleet of anail falerinen had scurried to a safe anchorage early in the afternoon. “May ‘God help any ship and:.crew that gets on a lee shore to-night, lads,” soberlyremarked Capt.: “Josh”: Harding, of the lifeboat, to a few of his men, as he stepped to the door and peered out. into the-opaque darkness.
