THE HAVEN1 IN THE CORAL RING.
It seemed as if the storm-fiend were satisfied with the mischief2 he had accomplished3, for immediately after the disaster just described, the gale4 began to moderate, and when the sun rose it had been reduced to a stiff but steady breeze.
From the moment of the accident onward5, the whole crew had been exerting themselves to the utmost with axe6 and knife to cut and clear away the wreck7 of the masts and repair damages.
Not the least energetic among them was our amateur first mate, Nigel Roy. When all had been made comparatively snug8, he went aft to where his father stood beside the steersman, with his legs nautically9 wide apart, his sou'-wester pulled well down over his frowning brows, and his hands in their native pockets.
"This is a bad ending to a prosperous voyage," said the youth, sadly; "but you don't seem to take it much to heart, father!"
"How much or little I take it to heart you know nothin' whatever about, my boy, seein' that I don't wear my heart on my coat-sleeve, nor yet on the point of my nose, for the inspection11 of all and sundry12. Besides, you can't tell whether it's a bad or a good endin', for it has not ended yet one way or another. Moreover, what appears bad is often found to be good, an' what seems good is pretty often
