a I BOOMlNG roar came down
la upon them from the frigate
ISRassSy which had fired a broadside,
&SSa&GJ which was followed presently
by the whistling Of shot over their
heads. Great rents were seen in the
canvas, pieces of running gear fell to
the deck, there was crashing, rending
sound, and a part Of the rail left stand
ing abaft the miZZen shrouds smashed
into splinters and drove inboard under
the impact of heavy shot.
One splinter struck the man at the
helm in the side; he fell with a shrek
and lay white and still by the side Of
the wheel, which, no longer restrained
by his hand, spun round madly. An
other splinter hit the sword of Talbot,
breaking the blade and sweeping it
from his hand, and the unlucky scrap
of paper was blown into the sea. The
spanker sheet was cut in two, and the
boom swept out to windward, knock
ing one of the men overheard. There
was neither time nor opportunity to
pick him up, and he went to his death
unheeded
Seymour dropped his sword, every
instinct of sailor aroused, and sprang
to the horse block. The ship, left to it.
self, fell off rapidly before the wind.
Bentley jumped to seize the helm.
GLOW the head sheets therev' cried
the lieutenant. ''Lively! Aft here and
haul in the spanker! Brazil up the fore
sail! Down, hard down with the
heinz
There was another broadside from
the heavy guns Of the frigate. Talbot
replied with his stern chaser, and a
cloud Of splinters showed. that the shot
took effect, whereat the men at the
gun cheered and loaded, and then
crash went the mizzen topgallant mast

Varied Commencement Addresses.

Varied Commencement Addresses.
An anxious inquirer was discussing
with Bishop Prendergast the complex
nature Of some Of bis episcopal duties.
II should think you would find giving
addresses at commencements particu-
larry trying said the inquirer ques-
toningly. II do" sighed the bishop.
How can you manage to find anything
original to say year after yearY prob
ed the inquirer, determined to get at
the root Of the matter. ooh, don't"
said the bishop, his face lighting up
and expanding into whimsical smile
Il don't say anything original. Each
time l simply use different adjectives."

"Lively, menv' shouted Seymour,

we are lost"
breakers on the starboard bowl"
shrieked the lookout on the forecastle
suddenly. Breakers on the port bow"
His voice ran aft in a shrill scream
| fraught with terror, breakers aheadv'
"Down, hard down with the helm,
Bentley" said Seymour, himself spring
ing over to assist the old man at the
wheel.
But Bentley raised his hand and kept
the wheel steady. ''Too late, sir, for
that" he cried, "we are in the pass.
God help US now, sir. Mr.. Seymour,
look to the ship, sir; look to the ship!'
| The young officer sprang back on the
| horse block, his soul filed with horror.
So fate had decided for him at last,
and duty, not love, had won the mighty
game. A third broadside passed harm
lessly over the ship, doing little dam
age, the rough weather making aim
ing uncertain. Again the fieldpiece re-
piled. Seymour never turned his head
in the direction Of the frigate. He
could not look upon the catastrophe;
besides, the exigency Of the situation
demanded that he give his whole mind
to coming the ship through the mar
row pass. Bentley himself, assisted by
young sailor, kept the helm; the old
est seaman had charge of the braces.
The wreck Of the mizzen topgallant
mast was allowed to hang for the pres
ent.
The white water dashed about the
ship in sheets Of foam. They were we'll
in the breakers now, and the most ig-
norant eye could see the danger. One
false movement meant disaster for the
ship for whose safety Seymour had
sacrificed so much. He did not make
it. To his disordered fancy Katharine's
white face looked up at him from
every breaking wave. He steeled his
heart and gave his orders with as
much ease and precision as if it had
been a practice cruise. To the day Of
his death he could not account for his
ability to do so. He made a splendid
figure standing on the horse block, his
hair flowing out in the wind, his face
deadly pale, calm, cool, steady, his
voice clear and even, but heard in
every part Of the ship. The heart Of
the old sailor at the helm yearned
toward him and the seamen looked at
him as if he had been a demigod He
never once looked back, but from the
cries Of the men he could follow every
motion Of the frigate behind him. The
frigate, the unsuspicious frigate, had
followed the course of the transport
exactly and was coming down to the
deadly rocks like hurricane.

Talbot, his quarrel forgotten for the
| moment, ceased firing and stood, with
all of the men who could be spared
from their stations, looking aft at the
tremendous drama being played.
''The frigate! Look at the frigate!
She's going to strike, STRIP cried one of
the seamen excitedly-old Thompson,
who had sailed upon her. "See, they
see the breakers. Now there go the
head yards. It won't do. It's too late.
My God, she strikes, she strikes! I'll
have one more shot at her before she
goes"' he shrieked, taking hasty aim
over the loaded feldpiece and touch
ing the printing. AYE, and hit too.
Hurrah! Hurrah! To Tophet with We,
where ye belong, ye''-
"Silence aft" shouted Seymour in a
voice of thunder. ''Keep fast that
gun, and another cheer like that and
| put you in irons, Thompson"
The water in the front of the Mellish
suddenly became darker, the breakers
disappeared, the ship was in deep
water again; she had the open sea be-
fore her and was through the channel.
eve are through the pass, SIR" said
Bentley.
Il know it," answered Seymour at
last. II suppose there is no use beat
ing back around the shoal, Bentley %
he said tentatively.
'No, use; no use, and, besides, in this
wind we could not do it, and, sir, you
know nothing will live in such a sea.
Look at the Englishman now, SIR"
The captain turned at last The
frigate was hopeless wreck. All
three CT her masts had gone by the
board; she had run full on the rocky
ledge of the shoal at the mouth of the
channel. The wind had risen until it
blew heavy gale; no boat, no human
| being, could live in such a sea. The
waters rushed over her at every sweep,
and she was fast breaking up before
; them. Night had fallen, and darkness
at last enshrouded her as she faded out
of view. A drop of snow fell lightly
upon the cold cheek Of the young sail
or, and the men gazed into the night
in silence, appalled, by the awful catas-
rophe. Bentley, understanding it all,
laid his hand lightly on Seymour's arm,
saying softly:
Better clear the wreck and get the
mizzen topsail and the fore and main
sail in, sir, and reef the fore and main
topsa1ls. The spars are buckling fear
fully. She can't stand much more.''
