Slide 1

Slide 2

On the top of the cliff a group of fishermen were standing near the gate

Slide 3

'The Almighty help you, Pete,' said Bluffy, giving him the flowers

Slide 4

'Love,' he said, bending down to her, laying the blossom on her pillow

Slide 5

After a brief prayer there was silence in the room

Slide 6

'Are you watching the weather, Bluffy? Will it keep fine till morning?'

Slide 7

'Well, the glory of the sky just now is splendid'

Slide 8

'Is it good-bye, Daddy? Are the boats ready?'

Slide 9

'Mebbe not,' he said, still gazing out into the dim light

Slide 10

Down upon the shore an anxious crowd had gathered

Slide 11

'They are heading towards the shore,' cried a voice from the cliff

Slide 12

'Is 'em all safe? Is my daddy's boat safe ashore?'

Slide 13

'Hello! What's up, little one?' he asked in a cheery voice

Slide 14

Slide 15

That same night Gilly crept softly to Bluffy's side

Slide 16

The old man's lips quivered into a smile as he caught sight of the little figure

Slide 17

'Forgive my intrusion,' she said, stopping short in front of them

Slide 18

'What is your name?' he asked, seating himself in the armchair

Slide 19

'Yes, it is true,' was the quiet reply, 'he was saved'

Slide 20

'So there you are, my flower,' said Bluffy

Slide 21

The old man put his arm round her and drew her close to his side

Slide 22

And Bluffy looked into the upturned face of the little girl

Slide 23

Then, crowding together still more closely, she pressed down the pier

Slide 24

'Come home with us, mate,' said Peter, helping him to rise

Slide 25

'Home!' Peter uttered the word with a deep drawn breath
