Here's a short story:

CHAPTER II. 

CAUGHT BY THE TIDE. 

JACK ran home. 

"I thought you would have been in by two o'clock, Jack," his mother said reproachfully, "so as to see Lily before she went off to school again." 

"So I should have done, mother, but I had to stick at the work until we had finished up to the water-line. Uncle Ben thought it was not worth while knocking off." 

Jack's meal of bread and bacon was soon finished, then he waited a little until Lily had returned from school. 

"Come on, Lil," he said, "I have been waiting to take you out with me." 

"Be in by six," Mrs. Robson said. 

"All right, mother! We are only just going down to the shore." 

Near the little coast-guard station they came upon Bill Corbett. 

"Can you come to-morrow, Jack?" 

"Yes; uncle has agreed to do without me. What time are you going to start?" 

"We will go out as late as we can, Jack. We can get down the creek till three anyhow, so at three o'clock you be ready down here." 

"Joe is going, I suppose?" 

"Oh, yes, he does to carry the cockles to the boat while we scrape them out. That is a nice bawley, that new one there; she only came in this tide. That is the boat Tom Parker has had built at Brightlingsea. He expects she is going to beat the fleet. She will want to be a rare good one if she does, and I don't think Tom is the man to get the most out of her anyhow."  (End of story)
