FATHER H%RNRIoUEs.

The night cam down swiftly. for a great
stormcloud, in which jagged lightning
PLAYED, blotted out the last rays Of the
sunken sun. Then with rolling thunder and
torrents Of rain the tempest burst over the
sinking ship.
The mariners could no longer see 70 steer;
they knew not whittier they were going;
only the lessened seas told them that they
had entered the harbor mouth. Presently
the San Antonio struck upon a rock. and
the shook Of ii threw Castell, who was
bending over the senseless shape OF Mar
Raret. against the bulwarks Inc dazed
him.
There arose a great cry OF The vessel
founders,' and water seemed to be pouring
on the deck, though whether this were
from the sea or from the deluge Of the
falling rain he did not know. Then came
another cry Of Get out the boat or we
perish!- and a sound OF men working in the
darkness.
The ship swung round and round and
settled down. There was n fash of lightning
and by it Castell saw Betty holding the
unconscious Margaret in her strong arms.
She saw him also and screamed to him to
come to the boat.
He started 10 obey, then remembered
Peter. Peter might not be dead; what
should he say to Margaret il he left him
there to drown? He crept to where he
lay upon the deck and called to a sailor
who rushed by TO help him.
The man answered with a curse and
vanished into the deep gloom. So, unaided,
Castell essayed the task Of lifting this
heavy body but, his right arm being use
less. could do no more than drag it into a
sitting posture and thus by slow degrees
across the deck to where he imagined the
boat to be.
But here there was no boat, and now the
sound OF voices came from the other side
| OF the ship, so he must drag it back again.
By the time he reached the starboard bull
warks all was silent, and another fash of
lightning showed him the boat crowded
with people, upon the crest of a ave, fifty
Yards or more from him, while others,
who had not been able TO enter, chung to
it's stern and gunwale. Re shouted aloud,
but no answer came, either because none
were left living on the ship, or because in
.an that turmoil they could not heal him.
Then Castell, knowing that he had done
everything that he could, dragged Peter
under the overhanging deck Of the forward
tower. which gave some little shelter from
the rain and driving spray, and, laying his
bleeding head upon his knees so that il
might be lifted above the wash OF the waters,
sat him down and began to say prayers
after the Jewish fashion while awaiting
his end.
That he was about TO die he had no doubt,
for the waist Of the ship, as he could per-
ceive by the lightning, was almost level
with the sea, which, however, here in the
harbor was now much calmer than it had
been. This he knew, for although the rain
still fell steadily, and the wind howled
above, no spray broke over them.

forward and said that he was 90 ready for

them moro sailors, till nearly half Of those

Then, while the carack's head was laid 20

swords and knives, for hero archery would
not avail them. Casteil gave some orders
to the captain. He bade him. IL they were
cut down or taken. to put about and u
for Seville. and there deliver over the ship
and her cargo to his partners and oor-
respondents. praying them In his name TO
do their best by means OF gold. for which

IL they still lived. and to bring D'Aguilar.

crime.
This done, he called to one OF his ervants
TO buckle on him a light steel breastplate
from the ships stores. But Peter would
wear no iron, because it was too heavy,
only an archer's jerkin OF bnllhide, stout
enough 10 turn a sword cut. such as the
other boarders put on also with steel caps,

Now the San Antonio, having come round.
was steering for the mouth Of the bay in
such fashion that she would pass them
within fifty yards. Hosting a small sail
to give his ship way the captain, Smith.
took the helm of the Margaret and steered
straight at her so as to cut her path, while
the boarders, headed by Peter and Castell.
gathered near the bowsprit, lay down
there under shelter Of the bulwarks and

Out OF the ruin Of the cabin appeared

Clinging to the tangled ropes, they crept
forward, seeking refuge in the waist OF
the ship. for the heavy spar still worked
and rolled above them, resting on the

they halted, their long locks streaming

which was thus terribly fulfilled. Holding TO
