thousand cataracts in ones ears, and
we were launched amidst the boiling

back and the boat almost stove in by
being dashed upon the beach. It was
quickly upon the truck, and q hun

launched. and this time with better
success. backing water to the direc-

falling like cork upon the mighty
waves which seemed almost to curl
over into the boat, As we receded
from the shore my cowardly feelings
fled, and felt in perfect frenzy,
straining at my oar with nerves in
state of tension for the battle with the
waters.
at last, after tremendous strug-
gle with wind and waves, we were
under the lee of the stranded vessel,
and then it was some time before we
communicated with her by q rope.
Go close up we dared not; for the
waves made clean sweep over her
decks, and the passengers and crew
about thirty in number, had now
taken to the rigging, which sloped
over toward us as the vessel lay upon
her beam-ends. At length we got ter

with the cold. missing his hold of the
rope, and with pale, agonized face
disappearing in the Kissing waters.
Another struggle with the breakers,
and our freight was landed. Brandy
was hnrriedly partaken of, and soon
we were again under the vessels lee,
returning this time with eleven
fainting c. eatures, who slid down the
rope of communication. We landed
them, and then, half exhausted, we
returned for the remainder of the
crew, who were clinging fast to the
mainmast.
The moon was just su llenly break

lifted with each wave, and then came
down with fea rful crash. It was
evident she must soon go to pieces,
and We strained every nerve to new
exertion in order to finish our task.

surf. We were backing water toward
the vessel and consequently were go

to our cockswain's warning cry we
pulled forward to avoid the tangled
mass of rigging close by us. Two
men were clinging to spar, and We
reached them and took them of, one
of them holding with deadly grip
a submerged body, which we took in
