ointsupwards and says There is always God. All knowwhat he means as they follow him up the ruggedside of some bluff or hillock by the shore. Someone has hurried to the sacristy of the little church forthe simple accessories of the last rites. Hastily thecure puts the priestly vestment over his drenchedgarments, takes in his hand the needless book for theoffice that he knows too well. If it be night some onestands by him with a flickering lantern ; the otherscrowd behind with bare, bent heads, and the air ofstolid resignation to the irresistible and incompre-hensible, common to all populations who live in con-stant touch with the powers of nature, and are neverallowed to forget that in the midst of life they are indeath. Through the driving storm, the doomed men,clinging to riven spar and fraying cordage, catch thegleam of the light, see perhaps the fluttering surpliceand uplifted cross, and know that their spirits are notalone in their last voyage across the dim horizon ofreality. 172
