ing squall, as it struck the water, and then
dashed on in its wild and resistless fury The
thunder followed, and peal after peal succeed
ed, while torrents of rain gushed from the over
charged clouds. The lightning quvered and
crlnkled down the deep black clouds with ter
rlbe ferceness; and though the schooner had
been for an hour previously in sight of the
very harbor to which she was destined, this
sudden storm had deeply alarmed both crew
and officers.
For an instant deathlike Stiffness pervaded
the air. Then frightful glare of light was
seen from the edge of dense cloud, and peal
of thunder clattered over their heads as if the
whole of heavens artillery had at once been
discharged upon them. The siaunch little
schooner quivered from stem to stern for mo
ment, and then moved forward from the in
creased action of wind and wave
Fire! was the first word that was distinct

the schooner's on fire! quickly passed from
cabin TO deck, and from mouth to mouth among

the thing could be done-and run the schooner
ashore. But it was impossible The willing
men sprang to their stations at the word, but
the gale raved with fury; and scarcely had
yard of the mansail been unfurled, ere it
was stripped into shreds and scattered over the
storm.
A wild wall was heard, below, meantime,
and the passengers, deeply alarmed, demanded
to see the captain. After being desired thrice
to descend below, he left the quarterback,
dsenched to the skin, and hastily descended to
the cabin, where he anticipated every inquiry
at once.
Ladies' he said, soothinglv, 'be of good
cheer. Trust me, that under the fearful cir
cnmstances, | will do all that man can d.
Gentlemen, we are in a critical condition.
The vessel is On fire, and we are yet three
miles from the shore, and the gale is increas-

With these brief words of consolation and
advice, Lowden sprang up the companion-way
drew back the slide, and resumed his place

CHAPTER III.
THE SAILORS COURAGE.

Jets of smoke were forcing their way up
through the seams of the deck, and the fury of
the squall was yet unabated. The sea ran so
high that il was unsafe TO be on deck, and
Lowden deemed it prudent to secure the cabin
door, lest the passengers should force their
way up, and be washed overheard. Signals of
distress had been run up, but the gale tore
them into shreds as fast as they appeared, and
the schooner was now full three miles from the
shore, with the fire increasing frighlfully every
succeeding moment.
open, captain, open for Gods sake!-
We shall suffocate,' shrieked the terrified Eng
lishman, hammering away at the cabin door.
Open open re door, Monsieur Captain-o-pen
l say 81 vous piaa, shall smodder, Captain
o-pen!'
Give us air-help! What, ho! help y
again bawled the whiom valiant Englishman,
as he now pleaded for his liberty. But Low
den knew they could not stand on deck; and
for moment he still detained his passenger
prisoners below, for their own safety
Every possible exertion, under the trying
circumstances, was resorted to by the officers
and crew, to stay the progress of the fire, but
without success. The weather had previously
been excessively hot and dry, the schooner had
just come ont of low latitude, and the de-
| vourng element made rapid work in its de-
structive course below the decks. When the
peril reached its height, and no further hope
existed of stopping The fire, the cabin-door was
opened, and the passengers sprang upon deck.
The first movement of the brave English
man, upon his release, was TO curse the Cap
tain for OBTAINING him below; the next mo-
ment he found himself heels over head in tn e
lee scupper, knocked fiat by the schooner's
! lurch in the heavy sea. Pale as death and
considerably bruised, he arose and clung to the
rigging for a single moment then, jumping
astern, he seized an axe and commenced cut
ting away the small boat which had been tenn
porarily secured there.
'Hold!' cried Captain Lowden, firmly.
I'VE have but two miles to make, and I
hope to reach shoal water before it is too late
But the Euglishman persisted in his work.
The flames had broken through the matches in
little forked streams, and it was plain that but
few minutes longer would be allowed them
to prepare for leaving the burning vessel
Nevertheless, the youthful Captain felt that he
could manage things best in his own way,
and so he continued
Hold, say Must remind you again
that am master here! Another stroke with
that axe, and as there is God in heaven, you
90 over the side. Imean it p
The offender turned round, white as the
spray which 1ashe around him in every direc-
tion, and believed what Lowden said. As he
dropped the axe, thecaptain advanced and took
her. ladyship 3 hand, as she stood trembling
and clinging 10 the side of the companion-way,
desperately alarmed, but accomplishing, aud
silent with her terror.
] Cheer up, madam hs said, 'and trust in
