as they ran in for repairs, after cruising about for months without
taking a drop of oil. Harry was delighted with the prospect before him,
and laying the little curiosity, which would remind him of a sad event

CHAPTER VI.


SOME DAYS ARE BORN OF SORROW.


"The path of sorrow, and that path alone,
Leads to the land where sorrows are unknown."

ANONYMOUS.


"Through sorrow's night, and danger's path,
Amid the deepening gloom,
Ye children of a heavenly king
Are marching to the tomb."

H. KIRKE WHITE.
