Sandy and Betsy went for a walk in the dunes. There were no seagulls that day. They couldn't even hear Joe's beach taxi chugging along. "Let's go and see Mrs.Pringle" said Betsy. Mrs.Pringle had a cottage in the dunes. But she wasn't there that day. "She must have left suddenly," said Sandy, "She left her radio on." The listened, and a voice on the radio said, "We repeat our last warning: all persons on the dunes head for town at once. Do not delay. The hurricane is about to break." |
