GRACE DARLING

Tell us a story, Grandma,'said


Andrew, one winter night, as he
and his sister Margaret sat on the
new rug near Grandma's chair.
Please, Grandma, tell us a story
of long ago,' said Margaret.
Grandma laid down her newspaper,
and told them this story.
About one hundred years ago,
one dark night, a ship was driven
on the rocks near Longstone
Lighthouse, where Grace Darling
lived..
A strong hurricane blew that
night, and Grace could not sleep.
A little before daylight, she
saw
a ship on the rocks, and ran to
tell her father.
Father, let us try to save those
on board that ship. If you untie
the boat, I will corne with you,'
said Grace.
My child, I do not think wecan
keep the boat afloat on that wild
sea; said her father.
They could see a few luen on
the rocks, and at last, when
daylight came, they set off.
VChenthey drew near the ship,
a man threw a rope to them,
which they tied to their boat.
With the help of the men,
Grace and her father managed
to save all the nine personswho
were on the ship.
But, Grandma, why did a lifeboat
not go out to the ship ?' asked
Andrew.
There were very few lifeboats
in those days, Andrew,'said his
Grandma.
Oh,' said raargaret,' I think
boat was a lifebivaT,
Mr Darling's
and her father t
and Grace
crew.'
