then came q most terrible storm,
that woulu have sunk all on board
had it not been for the captain.
Every spar was laid low, the rudder
was almost useless, and a great leak
had shown itself, threatening to Gil
the ship. The crew were all strong,
willing men, ard the mates were
practical seamen of the first class :;
but after pumping for one whole
night, and the water still gaining
upon them, they gave up in despair,
and prepared to take tn the boats,
though they might have known no
small boat could ride such sea.
The captain who had been below
with his charts, now came up. lie
saw how matters stood, and with
voice that | heard distictly above
the roar of. the tempest, ordered
every man 10 his post.
II was surprising to see those
men bow before the strong will of
their captain, and hurry back 10 the
pumps. The captain then started
below tn examine the leak. As he
passed me | asked il there was any
hopes. He Looked at me, and then
ut the other passengers, who crowd
ed up To hear the reply, and said,
rebukingly
"Yes. sir, there is hope rs long rs

No such floods have occurred in the State be-
