gave out 4 smothered cry. He had
no time to say m0re--a strong hand
pulled him forward, and the next
moment he was in the heavily laden
ife-boat.
"Let us make for the shore,'' one
man said.
"Move easy, if you value our lives, -
answered another. 'The boat is filed
to sinking.''
Beyond this was silence. Now and
then the lightning flashed over them,
showing white faces and shivering
forms, and figures crouched and trem-
bling with fear. In the end of the
boat, quite near the brave man who
had fought so CALAMITY to save them,
a woman sat, her hands clasped about
the arm of man whose face seemed
shrunken and aged with terror.
Whatever there had been Of beauty
in the weak, effeminate features, it
was gone now, leaving only weak
cowardice. The woman was Sarah
Vane, and the poor, fear-jaded crea-

deserted her husband, was George

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O.-The cour. room

An immense crowd hung about the

saying: "An Boston sympathizes

The prisoner seemed greatly pleased, and

net him five thousand dollars,
