Happily, however, after the birth of a grandson peace was made, and the young husband brought his wife to visit his parents.

The heiress had some property in the West Indies, which they proposed to visit, and they remained with the old people till just before they sailed.

It was as a keepsake at parting that my grandfather had restored to his mother the watch which she gave to me.

The child was left in England with his mother's relations.
My grandfather and grandmother never returned.

They were among the countless victims of the most cruel of all seas.
