known in this vicinity, that somewhere . a

some sailors who spoke very bad English,
landed at the mouth of Rockaway lnletf

on this mound of sand, a little girl appa
rently between two and three years of age,
requesting the fisherman and Ills' wife, the
sole inhabitants of this' Island W take
charge of herli few hours, as they were
going after some; clams, and would soon
call for her again artd without saying any
thing further, tbey put off, from the shore
and' pulled hard to overtake a strange look
ing sail not a great way outsider the inlet.
vThis is all which has ever been known of
the origin of this orphan girl. She and
her foster parents have ever, lived in; total
ignorance respecttng what portion of ihe
world gave ber birth and who her parents
were. The mother, always alive to anxie
ty and ready to catch; at any thing which
may be likely to rekindle hope rn her bi east,
immediately conjectured that this orphan
.girl Was no other than" her .. long, long lost
child f that adverse winds - and ' boistious
weather,' which are all ordered by that great '
God of Heaven, had driven . the ship out
of her proper course, and that superstition

which .we do not yet, know, and which' per-'

and leave btshrrid tbemr their stolen pperty.

joy which she could not suflVr one duubtf
to rest upon. A messenger was immedu!
