The story OF the Arctic.

II October, lNol, AZ about the
same place where the wreck Of
la BOurgo|uc now lies, the
Steamship Arctic OF the Collins
line WAS lost, with all on board,
through IL collision in the fog
with the Ne>ta. 1t was this ter
rib!r catastrophe of which Henry
Ward Beechcr wrote:
Tho hour was como. The
signal bell fell at Greenwich. 1t
WAS noon also at Liverpool. The
anchors were weighed, the great
hull sWaycd 10 the current, the
national colors Streamed abroad
As il themselves instinct With
life and national sympathy.
The bell strikes, the wheels
revolve, the signal gun beats its
echoes in upon every structure
along the shore, and the Arctic
elides joyfully forth from the
MerSey and turns her Prov to
the winding channel and begins
her homeWard run.
The pilot stood at the wheel
and men saw him. Death sat
upon the PROV, and no eye be
held him Whoever stood at the
wheel in all the voyage, Death
wa, the pilot tat STORED the
craft and none knew it, He
neither revealed his presence
nor whispered his GRAND.
And so hope was etfulgent,
and little gayety disported itself,
and JOY was with every guest
Amid all the iuconvpnirnccs OF
the voyage, there Was still that
which hushed every murmur:
Home is not far away And
every morning it Was one night
nearer home.
Eight days had passed. They
beheld that distant bank Of mist
that forever haunts the vast shall
lows of Newfoundland. Boldly
they made it, and, plunging in,
its plant wreaths wrapped them
about.
"They shall never emerge.
The last sunlight has flashed
from that deck. The last voyage
is done to ship and passengers.
"At noon there came, noise
lessly stealing from the north
that fatal instrument Of destruc-
ton. In that mysterious shroud,
that vast atmosphere of mist,
two steamers were holding their
way with rushing prows and
roaring wheels, but invincible.
ooh, what a burial was here,
Not as when one is borne from
his home, among weeping throngs
and gently carried to the green
fields, and laid peacefully away
beneath the turf and flowers.
No priest stood to pronounce a
burial service. 1t was an ocean
grave. The mists alone shroud-
ed the burial place. No spade
prepared the grave nor sexton
filled up the followed earth.
