shouted wildly:
"Heave out for your lives, men ship
close aboard!"
The halfconscious, half-dressed sailors rush
ed tumuftuously on deck, where, with rapid
glance to windward, they perceived the dim
outlines of the strangers sails looming above
their heads.
and the alarmed crew Immediately disappeared
in the darkness, leaving me and Tom Grssom
standing on the deck alone.
by this time the crew of the unknown YES
sci had discovered their terrible position, for
we could hear their hoarse cries mingled with
the noise of running rope and blocks, as they
sought to avert the impending collision
But all esXertions. OF seamanship could avail
nothing The crisis was close at hand, and
their gross negligence alone TO blame.
Like fearful nightmare vision the stranger
oomed above our head as she rose on the sum

Yes of execration and fear burst from our
crew as the bow of the unknown rose above
our rail, and, with terrifice crash struck
our vessel Immediately abaft the fore-rigging.
Stanchions, beams and deck appeared like
matchwood as they crumhled beneath thai
tremendous blow; and our ship was so heavily
pressed downward that the sea rushed over
the iee-rail and half across the deck
The crash which immediately followed of
falling spars and rending timbers was enough

cries of excited men rose high above the gale

and blow followed blow in quick succession.
All control over either ship seemed lost, and
both rolled ominously in the trough of the sea,
while the grinding together of their timbers
was plainly heard.
Suddenly the bowsprit Of the unknown ship
tore away all our weather main-rigging, and
the mast, deprived of every support, swayed
heavily, and as the ship rolled to leeward, it
snapped short off and crashed over the lee
rail-
The fore and mizzen-masts quickly followed,
and as the latter went by the board fearful
cry of agony rose from our poop, where we
knew a large majority of the crew had cluster
ed.
My blood seemed chilled by that agonizing
cry, but we were helpless.

claimed Tom. let us get back to the fox

Together we rushed forward, but on again

was significant tremor beneath our feet,

stern foremost. The forecastle deck attained
an almost perpendicular position. The wind
shrieked in our ears; the sea roared above
our heads, as, with irresistible power, we were

The sensations connected with those agoniz-

out for some wreckage that lomed ahead.

this / lashed myself to the wreck, clinging
closely to the side as the sea occasionally
broke over it.
In half-conscious and exhausted condition
waited for the dawn, of day. The night
seemed endless, but / shortly perceived that
the gale had broken. Presently thin. gray
band of light appeared on the eastern horizon,
and my heart rejoieed the darkness slowly
disappeared in the western sea-
A bright sun shone forth, and under the in
fluence my hopes revived. The wind and sea
quickly decreased. and by midday was en-
abled to cast off the lashing and stand up

My support was raised a few feet above the
water. and the wind: acting on it. drove me
slowly toward the object.
Suddenly made, out, human form moving
upon the wreck. My heart beat with joy as
felt that was not alone.
"Wreck ahoy!' shouted, as loudly as |
"Hullo!" was the answer, and the dusky
features of Peter, the ships cook, were turned
| toward me.
He stood erect. and waved his arms wildly
above his head.

''What's the mattcr?" ! sang out.
'1Tom's legs broke, sah" replied the cook.
After much consideration, determined that
Tom should be removed to the deck house.
There he would at least be out of the water
and more comfortable.
When the wreckage closed we effected this
object, and then prepared to set the broken
! limb. Two splinters were wrenched from the
deck house, and with cordage taken from the
broken mast, we soon succeeded in our at
tempts
Tom could give no account of the accident.

The night was very dark, for the moon had
