ing on the swell, but the sky remained
clear. The barometer continued to fall
in an alarming manner, and after an
hour the heat became oppressive.
Then from all quarters OF the horizon
mass of white clouds arose. until they
presented the appearance of huge
mountains of snow, darkening as they
assembled, and massing together until
they formed q canopy overhead, en-
tirely concealing the blue sky above
Soon they deepened until the whole
heavens were solidly black, as IL COW
cred with folds of velvet. In n few
places, however, the color seemed to
vary to a dark, purplish gray, as one
edge of an overlapping cloud was ex'
posed.
Long before this time all hands were
on deck, and the Seabird was stripped
for the battle with the elements. What
ever his other faults, Obed Rider was
good seaman, and, with but few
suggestions from the captain, he had
made everything snug, only a close
reefed maintopsail and storm staysail
showing aft, while a portion Of the
foretopmast staysail stood out white
and clear against the gloomy back
ground, in readiness to pay her head of
when needed.
There was painful stiffness, broken
only by the mournful monotone in the
rigging which always precedes hurri
cane, as though the craft knew her dan
ger and tried to utter her feeble pro
test against the forces of nature.
Suddenly, far above the mastheads
sounded an unearthly scream, as IL the
storm demons had united in sounding
the charge. Still the sails hung idly
and not breath of air could be felt.
Then in the far distance n long
bright streak suddenly illuminated the
horizon, increasing with marvellous ra
pidity until all could see what seemed
TO be an endless line Of rolling snow
1t was impossible TO bring the vessels
head up to meet the danger without
wind, and she lay helpless in its path
rolling uneasily about on the disturbed
sea.

He had reached the head OF the steps

"What's the trouble here?" he de-
manded, as the officer tried TO push by
him on the steps.

With one stride the captain reached
