He had scarcely finished his letter, when

Can Horses scent water in the Ground

Ii has been observed by travellers who have
driven cattle on the .'pampas" or plains OF
South America, that they could scent water
for considerable distance. and also would To-
dictate the coming Of rain, by their SMILING IN

smell il coming in the distance. 1t Is also
said by those who have travelled on the des
erts Of Africa on camels, that this animal
could scent water at a grea, distance. a
friend was relating 10 us, the other day. ~

states that ia horse be shut up IN pasture

Humanity is ever the accompanying attr-
butte Of valor. Captain Sternpost gave orders
TO man the boats, and proceed to the spot
where the doomed ship went down, for the
purpose Of roscuing the unhappy wretches, if
any there Were, surviving the rage of the uni
ted elements, fire and water. The command
of boats devolved on Frederick, and with a
soul saddened by the fearful sight he had Just
witnessed, he proceeded on his search for
some time they rowed around the spot without
success, when Fred thought he observed
something in the distance, having the appear
ance Of human form, he neared il, aud found
his expectations verified, there was a man in

CHAPTER ".
T II + FIG IL T

The pirate craft bad now approached near
enough to discern that her decks were abso-
lutely crowded with savage-lo looking men, of
every variety Of cline and color. The swar-
thy African. the cunning Malay, and the san
culinary laser, stripped to the waist they
seemed more like crew Of demons, than oil
human beings.
Suddenly white cloud burst up on board
of the pirate. and accompanied by shot few
hurting over the irigate's deck.
"No harm done that time, you piratical
vagabonds," cried Tim Taf'rail, standing by
his gun, ready and anxious for the command
TO fire.
An instant after having got lhe pirate in
good range, the word was given, and the
whole broadside sped toward her When the
smoke cleared away, what was the astonish-
ment on board the frigate, 10 see the graceful
mast Of the beautiful schooner, topple over
and sink into the deep; a terrible yell of ago
ny announcing that some other calamity i'm
pended. Ere long it manifested itself; hea-
Wy black smoke issuing from the matches.
"She's on fire." cried some score of voices
simultaneously, "ana the piralcal crew are
taking to their boats.o
"She must have quantity Of powder on
board, said the Captain "About ship, quick
then, my men,"
"Aye, aye, SIR"
And the tuge,c aneScrcd iFcr helm like a
thing instinct with liie--and strode away from
danger.
1t was a magnificent though awful sight to
see the now uncomfortable element sweep
through the pirate schooner, the miserable
remnant of her crew, crowding the boats and
looking like dark specs in the sheet of fame
"Pocr miserable wretches there they 90 to
their dark destiny" calculated the captain, as
with shrek Of despair, the overladen boat
foundered, and sunk instantly with its guilty
load, just at the same moment, that with q
fearful explosion, the schooner was shivered
TO atoms; there was Jet of intense brightness
a roar as of a thousand guns, and then--a
Tighuul silence. A dense cloud hung for a
while over the doomed ship like pail and f.
nally dispersed, leaving the lrigate alone on
the waters.
