CHILDE HAROLD. Canto Nv.
There was now nothing but one 'ommon scene
| of confusion on bo rd Of The s cam Boat. and
the exelamat .ons Of The ladies'; and the l,oarse
cries Of the men, were waited upon the gale.
and The dashing Of the curling waves, which
seemed to be On fire. added fresh ierrors 10 the
scene; AMI torror aud dism,y was depicted
upon every coanienanc~, and each and al
stood aul.ast. end seemed 10 gaze With fre,,-
zed and starting syeballs. upon the ruin ,ha,
surrounded them.
In the midst Of this dismal and heart. .r.Ld

and horror, the gallant commander Stood un-
dismayed Upon Il quarter. and complacen'Iy
surveyed the scene, that surrounded him. Bit
il Wa. not time f,r him to lie idle ;-oud rais-
ing his trumpet 10 his mouth. he exclaimed
I" Lad es aud Ge', ,tlc,n-n, be, scch ye all, MS

meni 10 the cabin, for in Il midst OF this c. n
fusion. il IS impossible for INC TO manage this
already shattered vessel; eo below plore

commander, which in no sma'l degre. d ,peIled

curiosity, to Yards the mysterious stranger, ap.
