We got to Falmouth, and went ashore
But the wind suddenly fell, and 1t looked
as if there was to be a change in the wealth

SO very, pleasant week went by in next tt
no time. Then we went down to our craft
and found the drum up. Itwas only a stiff
breeze, SO we determined to put out to ses
at once. But there was a great change In
our skipper. Dan was on board; riotou:
with spirits, singing and whistling Clarke
noticed a great alteration. His composed
serenity was gone. He was doggedly
moody, and his eyes glared. He did MOI
speak to Dan, who toldus that they had ha6
a quarrel ashore. Both Fanny and Isre-
marked this, and noticed Clarke following
Dan with thllowerihg brow and dark suspici.
Gus eyes, asshe walked past him on the
deck. 10 The evening was very fine, the
rdrumfwas down, and we promised ourselves
a charming voyage to Cherbourg, our des-
tination, and then hey for Paris.
Before We started, Fanny had got it all
out of Dan. There was ayoung woman in

"You did quite right, Dan," said my

Don't go for day or two yet, SIR" he
said, gloomily. Take my advice; there is
bad weather coming on"

tsThere'lI be a storm before morning.

he spoke. Dye want another sight at lit

Now, look here, Clarke; l must speak to
you seriously In the first place, must
ask you to drop that jargon of yours, which
is all very well in its way and on shore,
but here you know-in short, it don't fit a
British seaman" ff -...-,.- ,.....4
81 should have thought, sir, with the dan
gers of the seas, and the heavens, and the
tempests overhead, that seaman had more
need OF it than any one. Why. who knows

most frightful passions. But wrestle
with it, thank the Lord. l forgive him

But now, almost as we were speaking, s
gale had arisen, and our little bark, with
out notice of any kind, had given a sort o.
vindictive "shy," as if she wanted tC
g thrown ner riders. For second the ses
had become like mass of black molter
iron, and was rolling in huge waves. II
another moment we were rushing through
the water with stiff kissing sound, an6
every spar and sail cracked and clattered
The sky had grown black also. 1t seemed
as if thunderbolt was to come on us.
Clarke came to me. "We can stand un-
