"It's born under a caul was I," he told them. "An' minny a mystery has been cleared up in ould Ireland be meself, I'm tellin' ye." "No, never mind. I bribed Anse to watch that gap fer me." "The wind's gone down," said the boy. "Jest a fair sailin' breeze now." The girl's eyes grew wider and wider with wonderment. "Isn't it strange?" she half whispered, "and beautiful?".
