Excerpt from Once Upon a Time: Play-Stories for Children
Now, one night there was a dreadful storm at sea - get the big bright dish-pan and bang it with an iron spoon, Percy - that'll do for the thunder and lightning l - and old Gabbatha, when she looked out of the window, saw a ship tossing on the waves not far from shore.
Poor creatures! She exclaimed, they'll surely be wrecked on these sharp rocks if I don't giv' 'em some sort 0' warnin' l And so saying, she lighted her little tallow candle and put it in the window. Next morning the storm had all cleared away, the sun was shining brightly, but there was nothing to be seen of the ship.
