He seemed to think the incident of two ships of so widely different types passing his cape together worthy of a place on canvas, and he went about having the picture made.

So I gathered from his letter.

At lonely stations like this hearts grow responsive and sympathetic, and even poetic.

This feeling was shown toward the _Spray_ along many a rugged coast, and reading many a kind signal thrown out to her gave one a grateful feeling for all the world.
One more gale of wind came down upon the _Spray_ from the west after she passed Cape Agulhas, but that one she dodged by getting into Simons Bay.

When it moderated she beat around the Cape of Good Hope, where they say the _Flying Dutchman_ is still sailing.
