the splash Of heavy raindrops began to be
heard on deck, the hurrying of feet, the
creaking of ropes and blocks, the loud Or.

tie of a coming storm. The hatch was
thrown up and the mates voice rang out
above the tumult to the watch below,-sAn
hands ahoy tumble up and haul in sails!
The storm had now burst upon the Gull in
its wanton fury; she was closely hauled
against the wind, and pitched over nearly
on her beam ends. The sea had become
lashed into madness by the careering winds,
the waves were plunging their heads against
the bows of the brig like the throes of some
monster of the deep, and the surfy spray
was flying over the deck like snowy cas-
cade. The topsail kalyards were lOsse, and
the wet and heavy sails were bagging up
and hugging the drippring masts with re-

The wind was shrieking and yelling through

living monument, to tell to posterity the
lively interest you cherished for the rescue

Stand forth on every side;
Well heed them not, but wend our way,
