CHAPTER vII.-THE FEVER SHIP.

We were now on the verge of the tropics.
The weather was perfect, the wind fair,
and the sea-covered with small, white
crested waves, chasing each other in wild
revelry-superb. The days were delight
full; the nights, lighted up by "a great round
moon; gloriously serene.
The mere fact of living became a pleas
ure; the mondays heat was tempered by
balmy breeze, and basking in the sun,
and living continually in the open air q
slept on deck), health tingled to my fin
gers ends.
1t was pleasure to feel the brave ship
surging through the sea- and to watch her
great sails as they bellied to the breeze.
For days together no sailor had need to go
aloft, and one day was so like another that
time seemed to stand still. Yet in this
very monotony there was an inexplicable
charm; it acted as a spiritual anodyne,
banishing care. and lulling the mind to
sleep. I ceased to think about my future,
and Liverpool and business were so remote
that thep might never have been. Even
Arly receded into the far distance, and it
was hard to realize that had once dreamed
of marriage and suffered from the pangs
of disappointed love.
Why, | often asked myself, had I not
been brought up as a soldier or sailor in
stead OF an underwater? And Wondered
how people could dislike the sea. True,
there were sometimes storms, and the
weather was not always serene; but, after
all, storms were few and far between, and
felt sure that the hardships and perils Of
a seaman's life were grossly exaggerated
| Only just before I left Liverpool, met a
man who had crossed the Atlantic half a
! dozen times without so much as encoun-
eering gale of wind; and IL was notori-
! Gus fact that Al hardwood ships, well
| commanded and manned, and not too deep
| in the water, seldom came to grief.
! one day talked in this strain to Cap
| tain Peyton. | said that doubted wheth-
/ eT man was in greater danger on board
good ship than inside good house, and
that life on the ocean wave was far pleas
anter than life ashore.
81 don't mean, of course, on board a Wat
ship in time of war;" 1 added. remember
| ing the experience Of poor Mr.. Hare.
"You think so because we have had such
q pleasant voyage and made such good
weather, so far" returned the skipper.
with smile, land I am bound to say that
sailing in these ATTITUDES is pleasant. You
would think differently, though, if you had
ever faced stiff gale in the North Allan
tic, or tried to double Cape Horn in
snow-storm. And l don't agree with you
about there being no more danger at sea
than ashore. A landsman may live long
life without being once exposed to serious
peril. A seaman can hardly make one
long voyage without running serious risks
Not to speak of storms and cyclones, sunk,
en- rocks and unlighted shores, never q
night passes that does not bring the posi-
bility of collision. The unexpected nlavs

CHAPTER vI.-oF THE SAME OPINION STILL
"Poor fellowl l wonder what became OF

didn't they distill fresh water from sea
waterf' were the first thoughts that oc-
CURED to me after reading the chaplain's
narrative.
And then remembered that the events
In question took place in a pre-scientif1c
age; that there was certainly no distilling
apparatus on board the Santa Anna, +"
nor, probably, any means of making one
large enough to provide for the require
ments of two or three hundred, possibly
three or four hundred men.
Again, why did not they take to their
boats and try to reach land that way in
stead of waiting helplessly for a wind,
with certainty that if it did not come
quickly they must all perish? But knew
not how far they were from the nearest
land, for the chaplain never indicated the
position of the ship, and seldom gave the
date, or even the days of the week, so that
the length of time which elapsed between
/ the different events set forth in the manu-
script was matter of pure conjecture. 1t
was, moreover, quite possible that the
"Santa Annals" boats had been smashed
by the ''Hecate's" fire, and, in any case,
/ they could not have held the crew and the
prisoners and enough provisions and water
| for long voyage. I could, however, see
nothing TO warrant the boatswain's belief
that the galleon had become derelict or
been cast away. Men can live long time
on a very short allowance of water: the
chaplain would naturally be one of the frs
TO succumb, and when the weak ones died
! off there would be more water for the sur
vivors. Besides who could say that 6
