THE PILOTS REVENGE.
CONCLUSION.

CONCLUSION.
"Yes SIR replied Robert sit is
Ballymore's cragg."
'sWhat is it there for p
''It marks the entrance to little
harbor, sir. which lies in back of it,
"And can it be entered by vessel
this size o. asked the captain as a
CLEAN of hope shot through his face
"Oh, yes sir a large ship can
enter there.
''And do yon know The passage 2"
Eyes, sir II have spent my whole
life on this coast, and / know every
turn in it,
Gould you take the brig in there in
this storm ?"
Eyes, sir" answered the boy.
"And viii you do it ?" eagerly ask
ed the captain.
"On two conditions -
Ndlue tueiu quickly
1.-THE first is, that yon let me go in
peace, and the next is, that you
trouble none of the smugglers, should
they hoppen to be there"
81 promise said the captain,
sand now get about your work.
But mark me, If you deceive me, by
St. George, I'll shoot you on the mo-
ment."
The brig was soon put before the
wind. and Robert Klntocz stationed
himself upon the starboard fore yard
arm, from whence his orders went to
the helmsman. The bounding vessel
soon came in sight OF the ragged crags,
and the heart Of every man leaped with
fearful thrills as they swept past a
frowing rock which almost grazed
them as they passed On flew their
brig, thicker and more fearful becam e
the rocks, which raised their heads on
every side.
''Port p shouted the BOY
"Port it isl
''Steady-so. .
"Steady it is"
"Starboard-quick.
cay, ay-starboard it is"
''Steady-so."
"Steady it is.
At this moment the vessel swept on
past an overhanging cliff, and just as a
vivid fash Of lightning shot through
the heavens and revealed all the hor-
rors around, loud shout was heard
from the pilot, and in moment all
eyes were turned upon him. He stood
upon the extreme end of the yard and
held on by the lift. In moment more
he crouched down like tiger after his
prey, and then with one leaphe reached
the projecting rock.
Revenge! revenger' was all the
doomed men heard, and they were
swept away in the boiling surge be-
yond
Breakers reef 2 screamed man
" Starboard, quick %
But it was too late. Ere the helf wa S
half up, low tremulous grating of til
briggs keel was felt, and the next mo-
ment came a crash which sounded high
above the roar of the elements, and
the heavy mast went sweeping away to
the leeward, followed in few moments
by large masses of the i'll fated vessels
wreck and cargo. Shrek after shrek
went up from these doomed men But
they were in the grasp of power that
knows no mercy. The storm king took
them for his own.
The next morning party Of wreck
ers came down from the rocks and
moved along the shore. 1t was strewn
with fragments of the wreck, and here
and there were scattered along the
shore the bruised and mutilated bodies
of the briggs crew Among that party
was Robert Kintock, and eagerly did
he search among the CHASTITY corpses as
thOuoh there was one he wOuld have
found. At length he stopped and
stopped over the one upon the should
ers of which were two golden epaul-
cites. 1t was the captain of the brig
the murderer of his father. The boy
placed his foot upon the PROSTATE body
and while a strange light beamed from
his eyes, and shudder passed over his
countenance, he muttered:
Father, you are fearfully revenged. "
