INTO A WHIRLPOOL.
ny DAVID KER.

! WAeNeNeE AoA get the chaEce. II nave
that runaway nbber yet, if l follow him to
the north pole!'
So spoke, with thump OF his brawny
ist that made the rail ! the quarterback
tremble, Capt Riehsl Spanker, the
bravest and hardest OF the stout English
captains VINO served under King William
III.
The battle Of Cape La Hogue had just
been fought and won; the "nvineible feet
OF France was scattered far and wide over
| the waters OF the channel, and the English.
disregarding shattered rigging, shot-torn
hulls and decks heaped with slain aud
wounded men, were iercely following the
chase, and capturing snip after ship as they
swept on.
But France had her stout commanders as
well as England, and Capt Spanker, to his
own unspeakabe delght-for he always
said that the next best thing to stanch
| friend was a bold enemy-had fallen in with
one OF the stoutest that day.
! For FIVE hours the Britannia and the ST..
Antoine had lain within pistol shot OF each
other, banging away with broadside after
1 bruadside, till the guns were almost too hot
/ to be loaded, and the smoke was 50 thick
