as opportunely as IL designed to assist
in this errand Of mercy. the Mary Peek
eruised about In search of the fiotilla.
Nothing was seen Of il, however. and
when. after lying becaimed for two
days more, her sails were again
filed by the wind, her how turned to the
south, and once more she was headed
for her destination. Long afterwGrd
il was learned that an English ship had
rescued the occupants of the boats on
the day following that on which tn"
steamer burned, and had carried them
TO London
As we drew into cooler latitudes
Perez mended steadily, although, rs
may be imagined, his recovery WINS u
tedious business. Yet, in view of his
condition when he was hoisted to the
deck of the Mary Peck. neither he nor
could find cause for complaint. Tor
six weeks ne was confined to his state
room, and in that time came to know
him well and to like him exceedingly.
OF himself he said little, but. bit by bit.
l learned something of his story. Ills
father was q Brazilian, but his mother
was English, and the greater part of
his youth was spent at English schools.
Since attaining manhood he Ind lived
near Rio. making nn occasional trip to
Europe. The lady in his charge on the
homeward voyage which had been in
terrupted so disastrously was cousin.
who, after some years in Portugal, was
returning 20 her own country. She was
not very young, and her beauty was of
the faded sort In spite of the draw
back that neither she nor Mrs. Peck
was mistress of the Others tongue. the
two women managed to strike up n
great friendship and TO comfor. one an
other vastly in the days of great gales
and high seas we encountered off the
cape. But the ship fought her way
through the storms Of that stormiex,
oi regions into the Pacific, and Mt last
her anchor was dropped In Valparaiso
bay after . voyage which. south of the
line, mad been prolonged far beyond her
masters expectations.
There had been no opportunity to
transfer Perez TO q vessel bound for
Rio. and pcrforce he had been carried to
the ChiiiGn port. On the day of our ar-
rival. however. he and his companion
bade US farewell and were sent aboard a
steamer which, an hour later. bore them
out of the bay. Our parting was that
of friends who could hardly hope %
meet again. Yet It was fnted that n
meeting should come, and, that. too, at
an early date. 81

1t wns evening. Mrs. Peck and were
reading in the cabin when the captain
left the deck md joined us. The hang

ing on his cnp and heavy jncket, and no
wonder. for n strong, keen wind was
sweeping up out OF the southwest, and.
though the ship was running before II,
one could guess that her deck was far
from dry.
"You two nrc looking CHEEKY and
homcIilSc down here" said the skipper.

"bettcr for the present, at least. dare
say it won't be long before the deck

'.Not IL our luck holds. Do you be-
lievc in luck, doctor?"
"Ycs, most firmly" said I. The qucs-
tion recalled most unpleasantiy the frib-
ulations OF life on shore, which, for u
little, 1 had shaken of, but TO which n

"And 30 do H. said the skipper. ''Stil',

"I1I be with you in two minutes" he
answered, chccriiy. Ills hand was on

knocked him from his feet. a tremor

Then there were shouts from above

"Don't leave her, man! Back with

And back went, though IL wss little
in my power to comfort her. Yet
strove to reassure her. a. II a frightened
woman could be cheered by an equally

what had happened. In our ignorance
we could only dread horrors none the

them. SO for many minutes we sat,
