CHAPTER XXIII.

CHAPTER AAIlL
 By the loss of the foretop-mast the ship was greatly eased. In almost ev- cry sea that we had encountered since leaving England, had observed the immense leverage exerted over the deep-lying hull by the weight of her lofty spars; and by the effect which had produced, had no doubt that our position would be rendered far less critical, while the vessel would rise to the waves with much greater ease, if we could rid her of a portion of her immense top-weight.
 l waited until the boatswain came aft, and then surrendered the wheel to Cornish; after which I crouched with the boatswain under the lee of the companion, where, at least, we could hear each others voices.
 ''She pitches easier since the foretop- mast went, bosom. There is still too much top-hamper. The main-royal stay is gone, and the mast can't stand long, l think, unless we stay it for ard again. But we mustn't lose the top mast"
 ''No, we can't do without him. Yet there's risk of him goin' too, if you cut away the top-gall'nt backstays. Whats to prevent him?" said he, look ing up at the mast.
 ''Oh, I know how to prevent It." I replied. 'I'll go aloft with hand-saw and wound the mast What do you think? Shall we let it carry away?"
 '"Yes, hereplied, promptly. Shell be another ship with them masts out of her. If it comes on fine we'll make shift to bend on the new foresail, and get jib on her by stay from the lower masthead to the bowsprit end. Then" he continued, calculating on his fingers, i've shall have the main top mast stays'l, mizzen, mizzentop-s'l- six and two makes height-height sails on her-a bloomin' show q canvas" He ran his eyes aloft and said, en- phatically:

 ''Tn go aloft," said he. "No, mo-" l replied, its my turn. You stand by to cut away the lanyards to leeward, and then get to windward and wait for me. Wemust watch for a heavy lurch. for we don't want the spars to fall amidships and drive hole through the deck"

His Withdrawal from the Ministry Gre.
 ates a Surprise in Canada.
 OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. 12.-Sir Hector Langevin has resigned from the Ministry. The resignation proved a veritsble bomb shell in political circles ard Is the sensa- ton of the day. It was totally unex. 9ected at this stage of the proceedings in the investigation.
 Before the Privileges and Elections Committee to-day Sir Hector read . lengthy defense. He said he would pre- face 1t with the statement that he had resigned in justice to his colleagues in Parliament and the committee. His statement was very voluminous. He denied emphatically all the charges pre- ferred az inst him and asserted his in- nocence In the most positive man ner. It was absolutely false that he had ever received $10.000 from Owen E. Murphy; he had no relations whatever with Mur- phy. He was not aware that his son had received 8 cent either directly or in- directly. He contended that his admin istration of the Department of Public Works was perfectly honorable and tn at there had been no manipulation of pub lie contracts.
