Itiehnril's attention was so divided be tween tho billows and tho land and the friendly boat, uud Mrs. Swing whs 10 in tent on bailing, thut neither of them saw the tug until it was upon them, and a hailing voice shouted: 'Hold on till we pick you up." It seemed aa if a voico Irom heaven had spoken. Hvcn blutl old Cnptain Hose up in the belfry of the church, ejaculated, "Thank Cod'." as ho saw the tug como to.
