Tempest-Tossed, Vol. 2: A Romance (Classic Reprint)

Theodore Tilton

0/5 ( ratings)

Excerpt from Tempest-Tossed, Vol. 2: A Romance

Day after day passed, bringing no claimants for the Good Hope and though an occasional ship gleamed in the blue distance, yet these hurrying merchantmen, takin g the shortest road to market, never approached near enough to this out-of-the-way island to see Rodney Vail's signal, or at least to understand its petition and appeal.

As N ature quickly recovers from a great shock, so also does Human N ature; and as the island quickly rallied from the earthquake, so did the little family who now dwelt in calm repose on its recently perturbed soil. The human heart has a strange knack of making its past perils a'ugment its present peace. Ah unwonted cheeriness per vaded the little group, who, having been miraculously preserved from death, now more than ever appreciated the blessing of life.
