CHAPTER VII.

q lust as the spin of a coin may
mean loss or gain in some
trumpery dispute or game of
- the hour, in like manner ap-
parently are the graver issues of life
or death determined at times. 1t is not
so, we know. Behind the triviality on
which men fasten with amazement as
the governing factor in events there
lies an inscrutable purpose. Yet, to
those Watching the destruction Of the
splendid vessel, there was little evil
dence of other than a blind fury in the
fashion of her undoing.
The hOarse words had scarce left
Brands lips before a third wave, high
er and more truculent than it's prede-
cessOrS, Sprang right over the lost ship
and smOthered her in an avalanche Of
water. No doubt this monster swept
away some of the officers and crew. It
was impossible to be certain of aught
save the one thing-that the steamer
would surely break up before their
eyes. The wind, now blowing in fierce
gusts; the sea, rising each minute; the
clouds Of spray chasing each other in
eerie flights through space; the grind
ing, incessant, utterly overwhelming
noise of the reef, made all sights and
sounds indefinite, nebulous, almost fam
taStic
But when the giant billow receded,
leaving the ship like a dark rock in the
midst of innumerable cascades, the ca
tastrOphe took place which Brand
would have foreseen were his thoughts
less tumultuOus With the support Of
the sea withdrawn from half it's length
the huge hull must either slip back
into deep water or break in two. The
slender steel shell of an ocean liner is
not constructed to resist the law of
gravity acting on full 5000 tons SO
the solid looking colossus cracked like
a carrot, and the after part fell back
into the watery chasm, there to be
swallowed instantly amid a turmoil
which happily drowned the despairing
shrieks of far more than half Of those
on board.
Constance and Enid screamed bitter
~ in their woe, but again they We're
saved from utter collapse by the eX-
igencies of the moment. Brand, who
expected to see the remainder of the
ship blown up by the inrushing of the
sea to the furnaces, dragged them fore
IDLY below the level Of the protecting
balustrade.
Yet nothing of the sort took place.
A vast cloud of steam rushed upward.
but it was dissipated by the next
breath of the gale. This incident told
the lighthouse keeper much. The YES
sci had been disabled so long that her
skillful commander, finding the motive
power of no further avail and certain
that his ship must be driven ashore,

anything in a worse position than be-
fore, as the wind remained fixed in the
southwest, and the tide at this stage
cui we'd in toward the land ere it began
to flow back again to the Atlantic
Can nothing be done?" screamed
Constance rendered half frantic by the
thought that the steamer would go to
pieces before their eyes.
Nothing" was the answer "Pray
for them. They are in the hands Of
God"
In grewsome distinctness they watch
ed the vessels approach. The siren
ceased. Had those on board abandon
ed hope? Pitching and rolling in a
manner that suggested the possibility
of laundering in deep water, she came
on with fatal diTectness. Suddenly
dreadful thought came to Brands
mind. The lighthouse stood on the
easterly and most elevated portion Of
the reef, whose bearings ran southwest
by west and north-northwest. At low
water some two acres of jagged rocks
are exposed. On all sides the sound
ings fell to sixteen and eighteen faith
Oms. What if this helpless leviathan
of 10000 tons or more dead weight
were to strike the pillar? This was
quite possible with the tide at its pres
ent level. 1t all depended whether her
bows were raised or lowered at the mo-
ment Of impact. In the one case she
would smash away many feet of rock
| and perhaps damage the foundations
of the lighthouse; in the other, her
| sharp PROV would stab into the vitals
| of the granite and the huge column
! might collapse in common ruin with it's
| colossal assailant
One Of the girls, he never remember
! cd which of them, spoke to him. He
| could not answer. For q second time
| that night he knew what fear meant He
watched the onward plunging of the
vessel with stupefied eyes. He saw, as
! in a dream, that her officers and crew
were still making desperate efforts to
| weather the reef. But, with the utter
! maIignity of fate, though they might
have swung her to port, she would not
| bulge a yard to starbOard, for now
both wind ana waves assailed her most
vehemently on the starbOard quarter.
Then when she was little more than
twice her own length distant he was
certain that dim form on the bridge
signaled to the chart house. With {
miraculous dizziness, on the assumption
that her wheel was put hard over, she
fell away from the racing seas. Hel
red light disappeared, her green ligh
curved into full view. The next wave
lifted her bodily, with a mad joy tina
it should be able to use her to batter
its enemy, the rock.
Then she struck, with q sickenin!
crash that was plainly audible abOv,
the roar Of the reef. This was no
enough. Another rush of fOaming wa
ter envelOped her and smashed he
again on an inner ledge. There sh
lodged, falling inertly over to star
board.
And Brand found his voice one
more, for, as sure as this terrible nigh
would have its end so surely had tn
gallant captain of the steamer refuse
to imperil the lighthouse when all hop
of saving his ship had vanished
The tears were in Brands eyes. Hi
arms encircled the two girls
There goes a fine ship commando

And that was the beginning of til
