There had been a tempo rary

stood there, the tempest reviv-

in maddehed rage. ela,aHl a
There was no time for talking
now. The wind rose so high
that words would scarcely have
been distinguished. The storm
that had gone before had been
but play to this awful outburst.
The vessel drove on, creaking
and groaning, a mere cookie

The seamen echoed his cries.
The two young Englishmen,
comprehending their peril,
, clasped hands in silence. -
For the next few minutes it,
, seemed that a Pandemonium
reigned.
Then a noise like the report
of a cannon suddenly beomed
through the storm and the,
darkness. The little vessel shiv.

upon her side.
She had struck upon a rock.

bruised, and weak as a child.
