Prize awarded to Jacob Rabinowitz, i High School. ; We publish below in full Miss Bos- ! serman's paner: After the Storm | Tw° years ago there was a terrific', : storm in the little seaport where I ■ live. It raged all night and early the . I next morning and then stopped as " I suddenly as it had come All of the r old sea captains and sailors who had lived there for many years, said that , it was the most violent storm they had ever witnessed e The next afternoon a friend of e mine, an old sea captain, offered to p take me to see the damage that the ? -torm had done. I lived in the upper . part of the town, so 1 did not know s.-.!iat the ocean had flooded the streets, v'eten two block: from the shore. Men h:.d to wade through the streets in r hip boots to carry provisions to the e -trieken families- The streets, siden walks and yards of the houses were c i'.tered with the wreckage of fences, s I porch chairs and iron railings- The ■ to-- rifle wind had torn the shutters s fi-nt the windows of manv houses and I blown the floors open so that many j en • -.ages were almost ruined from the 3 rain which had blown inside. The e beach was even worse than the I -l reels. The boardwalk had been , olerally torn to pieces from the ragi ins wind and waves. Boards were '• > -cattered all over the beach drive to- . , ' get her with broken iron railings, „ 'amp posts and benches. There was ! , . -o much broken glass scattered ar- j | nurd from the broken lamps that the , I road was not safe for travel until • two weeks later- The pilings, which . 1 had been built to protect the board- | walk from the sea, were torn from J , j the -and and thrown in all directions ' ' J b~ the dashing waves- The trolley- i d tracks which had taken two ears to I ' | complete, was ripped to pieces- Sand I . had been washed into great heaps 1 \ among the masses of wreckage and | 1 ; the strange sea creatures which had . been washed ashore- Many people | j were endeavoring to pick their way ■ . i among the wreckage to sec the most 1 | inter-"" -ig di ht — the remains of a i , i shic . i.- . been lo-t in the storm I am! wj> i- . .ipon the beach. The hull I ' of the .-hip seemed like a huge skele- ' . I ton standing upright in the sand. On- I j ly a few small tatters of the sails . , were left fluttering in the breeze- | Only one of the crew had reached ■ , ; land and that was the ship's mascot I |i — a little hound (log. One t>f the men ■ I took him home but he died a week ' ■ later. The ship had evident! been a I i merchant vessel, for the remains of ' several packages of foreign wares I were found under the shattered mast. J . covered with sand. ! The crowd that had gathered ar- . 1 ound the wreck was silent, each one | thinking of the brave sailors who had j| . lost their lives during that terrible I [ night. r That evening there was the most * exquisite rainbow anyone had ever I seen, and the sea, which had raged so J , the night before, was as calm as a | great lake. In the west the sun, a . ; greet golden ball, sank slowly into | . [ the sapphire blue of the sea- The ■ ! rainbow faded slowly away and d:s- I appeared as the sun sank into the I j great beyond, lea^ng a soft glow on ■ j the sky abov^^^ | j The townspeople who hail come " I down to the shore to see the most I , beautiful sunset in twenty years, j eould hardly believe they stood among the wreckage that the -wrath cf the ! storm had wrought the night before, I and that they should view such a ■ ■beautiful sight — after the storm.
