The Grenada gazette. (Grenada, Miss.) 1885-18??, 1889-11-29

opened my eyes, that shrek rang loude
than had heard it in my dream, for
was the shrek of a storm, and such
storm as appalled, and startled my sud
denly-awakened senses.

my vision, dark clouds of va Dor wer,
around me, | seemed to be borne alon,
with terrific velocity on the roaring
whistling gale, while below me l behel,
the CLEAN of the frigate's battle Ian
terms, by which ! could see nimhle form,
hurrying to and fro, far beneath my con
fused gaze, hauling On ropes, putting
extra flashing about the launch, careful

voices of the boatswain and his mates,
together with the shouts of the officer
of the deck through his trumpet, were
blended with answering cries from the
topmen and others aloft, who were furl-
ing and rceting the heavier canyas-the
lighter sails, evidently, having already
been taken in.
All these sights and noises, together
with the din of the tempest. the roar of
the ocean, the lurching and rolling of
the huge black hull as it was hurled
along like a mere wisp through the
angry waters, surprised and puzzled
me: and in the half-dazcd condition

which, when asleep, | had still kept my
