At eight bells the next morning the
fog lifted. There was no sign Of land,
but on our starboard quarter was a
barkentine without sails, her foremost
gone6 rolling with the waves. A wind
sprang up, and, raising sail, we made
toward her. When we came near her
the captain sent a boats crew to inves-
tigate.
We found derelict that had evident
~ been floating long while. The only
thing aboard that had ever had life in
it was the body of woman, and we
had to stave in the door of the cap
tain's cabin to find that. It was lying
in a berth. and. Notwithstanding the
many tossings the vessel had received,
it had not rolled out. We looked on
the log book for the last entry. 1t was
dated eighteen months agone, Nov. 10,
1854.
We read the entry and went back
further for an explanation. No part of
the log made mention of anything IN
usual transpiring aboard. Nevertheless
we traced what must have been some
thing of the story. A bundle of love
letters from woman to the captain.
the last dated not long before the log
began, told us that he and his wife
must have made the voyage wedding
trip. The last observation showed lati-

south of the Canary islands and off the

The period, 1854, was when the
Of negroes from the African coast to
the United States. In the forecastle
we found scrap of paper on which
was written, ''The old man won't con-
sent; do the job" We interpreted this
to mean that the men wished to force
the captain to take the crew ashore to
secure cargo of slaves. He declined,
and they were to kill him. All this
accounts for the captains wife being
locked in his cabin. The port anchor
was gone. This indicated that the
ship was at anchor when the crew left
her. We found no evidence to show
whether the captain was killed or
went with them. The cable had evil

Probably while the men were ashore

We were Off Halifax, Cape Race or
Cape Breton, we didn't know which.
Finally he concluded to drop an anchor
and wait.
There was a considerable swell roll

That would have blown away the fog.
One night the watch heard the sound
of distant bell. For an hour it tolled

distinct. 1t was evidently coming to-
ward us. 1t must be drifting. for there
was no wind to fill sails, and we could
hear no sound of steam. At last the
bell tolled dismally within a cables
length of us.
We began to be anxious and rang our
own bell to let the stranger know that
we were in her course: There was lit
tie chance of her crew being able to
turn her, for there was no wind, but
they might anchor. She was coming
so slowly as not to hurt us much from
fouling except for the waves. If we
should be rolled together in the trough
of the sea or one should be let down on
the other. there might be a terrible
crash.
Our signal excited no reply, except
the tolling of the bell, which continued
constantly. Fearing those on the ap-
preaching vessel had not heard us, we
fired gun. But this elected nothing.
Presently we could hear the bell toll
ing right beside us, and now and then
something black would appear not
twenty feet from us, hover there for q
few minutes, then disappear. Once it
came near enough for us to distinguish
the side of ship.

glimpse of her stern under our bow.
