CHAPTER XVII

Until noon they continued their ex-
ertions not without success; they were
not three miles from the land. but as
the sun passed the meridian change
took place; the breeze blew strong. the
swell Of the sea rose rapidly, and the
raft was often so deeply immersed in
the waves as to alarm them for the
safety Of those upon her. Their way
was proportionately retarded, and by
8 o'clock they had not gained half a
mile from where they had been at
noon. The men, not having had re-
freshment of any kind during the la
Dor and excitement of so many hours,
began to flag in their exertions. The
wish for water was expressed by all
from the child who appealed to its
mother to the seaman who strained at
the oar. Philip did all he could to
encourage the men, but finding them
selves so near to the land, and so
overcome with fatigue, and that the
raft in tow would not allow them to

casting loose the raft and looking out
for themselves. A feeling Of self pre-
vailed. and they were mutinous; but
philip expostulated with them. and,
ont of respect for him, they continued
their exertions for another hour. when
a circumstance occurred which decided
the question, upon which they had re-
commenced debate.
The increased swell and the fresh
breeze had so beat about end tossed
the raft that it was with dificdlty. for
some time, that its occupants could
hold themselves on it. A loud shout.
mingled with screams, attracted the
attention of those in the boat, and
Philip. looking back, perceived that the
Iashings of the raft had yielded to the
force Of the waves, and that it had
separated amidships. The scene was
agonizing: husbands were separated
from their wives and children-each
floating away from each other-for the
part OF the raft which was still towed
by the boats had already left the other
far astern. The women rose UP and
screamed; some. more frantic, dashed

admiral, which had left Amsterdam
more than two months, and hai been
buffeted about by contrary gales for
the major part Of that period Cold,
fatigue and bad provisions had
brought on the scurvy, and the ships
were so weakly manned that they
could hardly navigate them. When
the captain OF the Wilhelmina reported
to the admiral that he had part Of the
crew of the Vrow Katerina on board,
he was ordered to send them immedi-
ately to assist in navigating his Grip
pied fleet. Remonstrance was useless.
Philip had but time to write to Anime,
acquainting her with his misfortunes
and disappointment; and, conhding
the letter to his wife, as we'll as his
narrative of the loss OF the Vrow
Katerina for the directors to the
charge Of the captain OF the Wilhelm
ina, he hastened to pack up his effects,
and repaired on board of the admiraPs
ship with Krantz and the crew. To
them were added six of the men be-
longing to the Wilhelmina, whom the
admiral insisted on retaining; and the
brig, having received the admiraPs
dispatches, was then permitted 10 con-
tinue her voyage.
The admiral sent for Philip into his
cabin, and having heard his narrative
Of the loss of the Vrow Katerina, he
ordered him to go on board the COM
modores ship as captain, giving the
rank Of commodore to the captain at
present on board of her; Krantz was
retained on board his own vessel as
second captain, for by Philips nara
tive the admiral perceived at once that
they were both good officers and brave
men.

CHAPTER xVI.-lContinued.)

CHAPTER XvL-(Continued)
Philip made no reply; he felt a re-
spect even for Capt. Barentz' mis-
placed regard for the vessel. They
made but little way, for the swell was
rather against them, and the raft was
deep in the water. The day dawned,
and the appearance OF the weather was
not favorable; it promised a return Of
the gale. Already a breeze rufiied the
surface OF the water. and the swell
appeared to increase rather than go
down. The sky was overcast, and the
horizon thick. Philip looked out for
the land, but could not perceive it, for
there was a haze on the horizon, so
that he could not see more than five
miles. He felt that to gain the shore
before the coming night was necessary
for the preservation of SO many indi-
viduals, of whom more than sixty were
women and children, who, without any
nourishment, were sitting on frail
raft, immersed in the water. No land
in sight-a gale coming on, and in all
probability a heavy sea and dark
night. The chance was indeed desper-
ate, and Philip was miserable-most
miserable-when he reflected that so
many innocent beings might, before
the next morning, be consigned to a
watery tomb-and why?-yes, there
was the feeling-that although Philip
could reason against, he never could
conquer; for his own life he cared
nothing; even the idea OF his beloved
Anime was nothing in the balance of
these moments. The only point which
sustained him was the knowledge that
he had his duty to perform, and, in
the full exercise of his duty, he re-
covered himself.
Land ahead?" was now cried out
by Krantz, who was in the headmost
boat, and the news was received with
shout Of joy from the raft and the
boats. The anticipation and the hope
the news gave was like mama in the
Wilderness; and the poor women on
the raft, drenched sometimes above
the waist by the swell of the sea,
elasped the children in their arms still
closer and cried, MY darling, you
shall be saved"
Philip stood upon the stern-sheets
to survey the land, and he had the
satisfaction of finding that it was not
five miles distant, and ray of hope
warmed his heart. The breeze now
had gradually increased and rippled
the water. The quarter from which
the wind came was neither favorable
nor adverse, being on the beam. Had
they had sails for the boat, it would
have been otherwise; but they had
been slowed away and could not be
procured. The sight of land naturally
rejoiced them all. and the seamen in
the boat cheered and double-banKed
the oars to increase their way, but the
towing of a large raft sunk under
water was no easy task, and they did
not, with all their exertions, advance
more than half mile an hour.
