the men managed to get % a fore and
main storm-stay sail, and then the brig
stood for short time braveIy up against
the heaving sea. But it was evident tina,
should she succeed in keeping to the wind.
she would eventually be driven ashore. for
toe power OF the ln-setting waves was
greater than that of the wind.
Boy, do you knew what light that is p
asked the captain, as he stood holding on
to the main rigging to keep bis feet.
Yes, SIR replied Robert it is Bally-
mOre's Crag'
What is it there for?'
1t marks the entrance to little harbor,
sir, which lies in the back Of it,
And can it be entered by vessel Of
this size 2 asked the captain, while a
CLEAN of hope shot across bis face.
oh, yes, sir 7 A large ship can enter
there
And do you know the passage?'
Yes, sir; l have spent my whole life
on this coast and 1 know every turn in
Could you take the brig il there in this
storm 2
'Yss, SIR answered the boy.
And will you do itr eagerly asked the
captain.
On two conditions
Name them quickly
The first is, that you let me 20 in peace;
and the next, that you trouble none Of the
smugglers, should they happen to be
there
i PROMISE said the captain. And now
set about your work. But mark me. if
you deceive me, by St. George, I'll shoot
you on the moment.
The brig was soon put before the wind,
and Robert Kintock stationed himself mn.
on the starbOsrd fore--yard-arm. from
whence his orders were passed along to the
helmsman. The bounding vessel soon
came within sight of the ragged crags, and
the hesrt OF every man lsaped with fearful
thrills as they swept past frawnirr rock
which almost grazed them as they passed
On flew the brig, and thicker and more
fearful became the rocks, which raised
their heads on every side.
'POrtP shouted the boy.
Port it is
'Steady-s o'
Steady it u.s.
'StarbOard-quick =
'Ay, ay-starbOard it is
'Steady-so.'
Steady it Isl
At this moment the vessel swept on past
an overhanging cliff, and just az a vivid
flash of lightning shot through the heavens
and revealed all the horrors around, a loud
shout was heard from the young pilot, and
10 moment al eyes were tuned towords
him. He stood upon the extreme end of
the yard, and held himself by the lift In
moment more he crouched down like O.
tiger alter his prey,and then with one leap
he reached the projecting rcck.
Revenge! revenger was all that the
doomed men heard, and they were swept
away into the boiling surge beyond.
Breakers! a reef ! screamed the man
forward. 'Starboard, quick p
But 1t was too latel Ere the helm was
hall up, low, tremendous grating of the
briggs keel was felt, and the next instant
came crash which sounded high above
the roar OF the elements, and the heavy
mast went sweeping away to Ieeward foil
OWED IN q few moments by lsrge masses of
the Inflated vessels wreck and cargo
Shrek after shrek went up from those
doomed men. but they were in the grasp
OF power that knows no mercy. The
Storm King took them for his owpI
Ire next moment a small party of
wreckers came down from the rocks and
moved along the shore. If was strewed
with fragments of the wreck, and here and
there we're scattered along the bruised and
mutllated form of the briggs crew. Among
that party was Robert Kintock, aud eager
ly did he search among the CHASTITY corps
es, as though there was one he would b ave
found. At length he stopped and stopped
over one, upon the shoulders of which wore
two golden epaulettss. 1t was the CAPTAIN
of the brig-the murder of HE father l.
The boy llaced his foot upon the PROSTATE
body, and while strange light beamed
from his eyes, and shudder passed over
his enuutenance, he muttered:
Father you are fearfuly revenged =
The boy FpOke truly. Fearful in con-
ception. and fearful in its contamination,
had been that Pilots Revenge.
