still \ I'd no idea Of the plan by which the dan.
ger was t. be turned aside. The impossibility
of escape was anxiously canvassed, and men
saw in imaginati,.'n the flaming oil floating
away from the doome>d ship and igniting the
neighboring craft, until she whole surface of
the basin should be covered w tn blazing oil
and burning wrecks. :.
YANKEE BRAINS AND YANKEE pLUCh.
The plan of the Americans was first to A,ut-
tie the ship, next to cast loose the mornings,
and thirdly to tow her as far out into the bay
as possible before rhe sank. This could not
be appreciated at the time by those on shore
but how admirably American brains and dis
cipline told that night is in the sequel When
it was we'll assured that the timbers had been
sufficiently pierced to insure her sinking the
boats were seen to form in single file, dashed
securely together stem to stern. A hawser was
passed out over the bow of the ship and made
fast to the sternmost boat.
THE CRISIS OF THE PERIL.
The excitement rose still higher az the
Italian slowly settled down into the water till
her deck was almost level with the surface of
the water. All the arrangements having been
completed, the single file of American boats,
dashed stem and stern, were seen pulling
bravely away, and as the line Strengthened the
burning ship also slowly moved out towards
the bay, towed irresistibly forward by 200
sturdy American oars.
1t was clear now that tho peril was over,
and on immense cheer of delight and gratitude
broke from the assembled citizens. The
Americans kept ON rowing until the burning
vessel sunk, and though there was here and
there a little pool Of flaming oil upon the
waves, no further disaster occurred, owing to
the distance between the fire and the vessels.
JOY AND GRATITUDE.
The next day the Americans were tho recipi-
ents of the warmest praise from all sides. Tho
people expressed at once admiration at the
ingenuity and daring of the plan of action
adopted and gratitude for the relief it had
brought them.

many times more time and
money is spent in getting up
the affair, than is collected, yet
nothing but a Mite Society or
festival will do. IF our church
had more of Christ in it we
would need none of those So
