CHAPTER II.
woLreANG.

Maurice Lester was near the starbsard
gangway when the ship struck, having
started aft 10 look to the helm The shock
threw him upon his back, and he tried TO
get up; but ere he could regain his feet
the food OF mad waters came surpipg over
the bark. and he was thrown-he knew not
where. He only knew that the flood came
that 1t caught him in its giant grasp
that il hurled hin as the gale hurls a feath-
er-that his head was hurt-that his body
was tossed and bruised-and then the lamp
of his consciousness went out. When he
came TO himself it was daylight, and the
rays of the sun were beaming above him
At first he did not attempt 70 move, any
further than simply to assure himself that
he was really alive and sensible but
sought to recall the events of the past.
which he did, very clearly, up to the time
when his ship struck upon the rocks--he
could go no farther. After this he raised
himself upon his elbow, and tried 10 gaze
about him. He found himself upon bed
Of sand, between two immense rocks. He
had been landed there in that deep nook,
and the tide had gone ont and left him. In
little while he rose 10 his feet, and man
aged to crawl up, by the aid of stranded
After seeing all that was to be observed
from this point, he moved on towards
where he thought he should soonest find
an open beach, for he felt faint and sick,
and be wished to find help as soon as pos
sible. After telling over slippery, Shiny
rocks, and cruel, tearing crags, until his
clothing was all torn. and his flesh bruised
and lacersted, he finally reached an open
en- ho al-a hnr
OF the wreck had been lodged, and where
he found the bodies of three Of his men.
he FASTENED TO the spot where they lay
arms-but he found no signs Of life
With sad, heavy heart, Lester passed
on, and presently be found two more dead
ones. and one of them was David Griffin,
his chief mate. He kneeled down by the
officers side. and raised the head; but it
was cold aud lifeless and the skull was
brokeni Gently he laid it back upon the
sand, and then moved on again. And he
saw more dead men also. Could it be pos
sible that he had been the only one left
alive?
Hai-wait-what is thisi It moves, il

Wy spar. One of them was dead; but the
other gazed up into his commanders face,
and stretched forth his hands as though he
would ask for mercy. His name was Dick
Msngle, aud he had been one OF the best
seaman on board the ship.
"Poor Dicki" said Lester, kneeline by
ais side, and lifting his head. "Are you
