With eyes as big as owl's, we stared out at a great, black ship stranded among the breakers.
Grandpa Macneill was telling Mrs. Wyand all about it. "I was riding home," he said, "when I happened to look out to sea. I could hardly believe my eyes! A great sailing ship was heading straight for shore. When it hit a sandbar, the crew cut the rigging and the huge mast went over."
