A young girl, the only child of her parents, Sir Brook and Lady Boothby, reposes on a cus.h.i.+on, not at rest, but in the uneasy posture of suffering. On the tablet beneath are these words: "I was not in safety, neither had I rest, and the trouble came." To which were added; "The unfortunate parents ventured their all on the frail bark, and the wreck was total."--A history and an admonition.
