THE EUREKA TAKES HER FIRST DIVE.

THE EUREKA TAKES HER FIRST DIVE.
The galleon Santa Catarina, with her
rich store of gold and silver and jewels
and the armor of her defenders and
perhaps their bones too, if the sea had
not dissolved them, lay under the Eu-
reka's keel, and there she had rested,
IN undisturbed peace, since that long
distant day when the Spaniard had fired
his magazine sooner than trust to the
tender mercies of Nicholas I.
The company of adventures on board
the Eureka leaned over the bulwarks
and gazed down into the green depths
of the Atlantic beneath them. A hush
of awe fell upon them and kept them
speeches. With one accord they peered
into the waves as though by the exer-
else of their will power alone they could
pierce those silent depths and compel
the sea to disclose its secret to their GU
rious eyes. 1t was an eerie thought
that down there in the ooze, 200 faith
oms beneath them, lay the harvest of
gold which they had come to reap. But
it would be perilous cleaning, and
maybe that other reaper, death,
would have his innings first and the
bones Of these eight brave men and wo-
men would go to swell the number Of
those who lie at rest in the wide grave
yards of the ocean. It was surely
thought to freeze the speech and make
the heart beat fast with fear.
/ At length Cain Laversha broke the 81
lence.
"1t'll be powerful dark down there,
EUR, won't it," said he
"Aye," answered Captain Colepepper
shortly, clark as the grave itself.
"And how far down did zee gay we

somewhere; for theory and practice are
notorious for disagreeing in matters Of
naval construction.
More and more sluggish grew her
movements over the swell as the weight
of water ballast increased, and nearer
and nearer did the crests of the sullen,
oily swells creep to the level of the
deck planks.
Then the limit was passed, and the
first gulp Of green water shot over the
bow and trickled lazily down aft. Rap
idly after that the decks were covered,
and the Eureka began to settle down
quickly on an even keel. Soon there
was nothing to be seen but the main
mast, with it's shrouds and gear, and
the green gloom splashed over the win
dows Of the coming tower itself and
began to deepen in intensity every mo-
ment.
