My father was a sea captain, James Brown by name, who always went on deep sea voyages and who, unlike the majority of captains, was glad to have his family accompany him. I went to sea from earliest infancy, and always enjoyed it. Mother used to say I was more at home on the water than I was on the land......The next morning, upon opening my eyes after a brief sleep, I glanced towards mother's bed. For the first time in ten happy years no answering glance from loving eyes met mine, no gentle voice bade me a cheery good morning. Instead, my eyes fell on that rigid form outlined under the white sheet. Annie was asleep and there was no one in the room. I sprang up, and running across the cabin, threw back the sheet and kissed her pale lips again and again. "Oh! mother, mother darling," I moaned, "come back or take me with you," while burning tears fell on that calm, smiling face. Father heard me and, coming down, took me tenderly in his arms and told me if I would live as mother had taught us, that when we, too, were called, we would meet her in the bright land whither she had gone, where all was peace and rest. No more parting, no more tears, but a glorious reunion. Mother had suffered cruelly, she was now at rest, and Jesus had bade us to "Mourn not for the dead but for the living.".....No boat could live an instant in that swirl of angry waters. Our only hope lay in setting every stitch of canvas and driving the vessel off the reef.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
