AT THE ENGINE.

The light from the electric lamps is re- fected in patches on the smooth steel beams of the engine. In and out, in and out, like shuttles weaving, move the rods, their perfect rhythm of motion and pre- cision of movement giving no hint of the great speed at which the giant vessel is cleaving her way.
 Days have passed without signal from above, the engines throbbing steadily. Everything is repose. The incessant mo- tion of the machinery is so common to the men that they. do not notice it. The deck may be ever so noisy, and these men, buried in the bowels of the ship, would never know it.
 Suddenly the great signal gong sounds upon the stiffness single resonant clang- stop. The engineer and his assistants are at their posts in an instant; the engines stop. This, the first signal for hours yes, days-means to them nothing, but 1t must be instantly obeyed.
 It may be man overheard; 1t may be in another instant some vessels prov will cut the ship in two, or the ship itself crash into an iceberg-they only know their or ders the bell has spoken-stop. With hands upon the wheels they stand waiting, every nerve strained, in utter ig- norance of what the signal means. Sol diers in action see the danger; the officers on deck know what is going on; but these men know nothing but duty.
 l A moment passes without word in that narrow room. Strong hands are ready for the next order. It comes, "Clang, clang," "Reverse the engine" The lever is drawn forward, the valves open, and obedient to the touch the great piston rods move again.
 The seconds seem ages; one, two min- utes, and then-an awful crash, grind. ing. and the vessel staggers. "Clang' goes the great gong, and still at the posts quick hands stop the engine. "Ting-a ling-a-ling," "Ting- ling -a-ling" "- Quit the engine" comes the signal.
 | While confusion has reigned above these silent men have stood to their posts until this order came. They rush to the deck. The vessel is filling great hole ir her bow from the collision with the ice and all hands turn to the life-boats.
 In the depths of steamer where thai great heart of mans construction beats out the vessels life, true heroism is to be found, firm, unquestionable obedience tc orders.
