conductor from the front of his car
as passengers were alighting at the
corner of Third and Washington
streets.

Men Uttered and women blushed
and the conductor started for the

In the golden glare of the early
autumn sunshine, the dinginess of
the little house stood out, empha-

passing of great man, and over
his casket fell a robe of red roses

lasted, death threatening them
each moment; but about 6 IN the
evening, just as the fury of the
waves seemed at it's highest pitch,
there came a sudden calm. The
wind was stilled as if miraculOusly,
and the sea became smooth as
glass.
Then came a most extraordinary
inexplicable phenomenon.
The fog, without dispensing, be-
came strangely luminous, and the
sloop sailed along in zone of cleo
trio light. Mast, sail and rigging
appeared penciled in black against
the phOsphorescent sky with won
drous distinctness. The men were
bathed in light, and their faces
shone with a fiery glow.

I'VE should be suffocated with its
flames so near" -
perhaps it is the reflection"
suggested Altamont
Not that much even, for then
we must be near land, and in that
case we should hear the noise of
the eruption"
What is it, them" asked the
captain. e.
1T is phenomenon" replied
the doctor, seldom met hitherto.
If we go on, we shall soon get out
of this brilliant glow and be back
in the darkness and tempest
again"
well, let's go on, come what
may" said Hatteras. is
The doctor was right. Gradually
the fog began to lose its lightand
then it's transparency, and 1.-THE
bowling wind was heard notf far
off. A few minutes more, andlthe
| little vessel was caught in violent
squat, and swept back into I the
cyclone. ii
But the hurricane had sfor-
tunately turned a point toward the
| south and left the vessel free to
run before the wind straightf to-
ward the pole. There was } i'm
minent danger of her sinkingse for
she sped along at frenzied speed,
and any sudden collision with rock
or iceberg must have inevitably
dashed her to pieces.
But not a man on board counsel
ed prudence They were intoxi-
Gated with the danger and no speed
could be quick enough to satisfy
their longing Impotence to reach
the unknown.
At last they began evidently to
near the coast. Strange symptoms
were manifest in the air; the fog
suddenly rent like a curtain torn
by the wind, and for an instant,
| like a flash of lightning, an i'm
mense column of flame was seen
on the horizon.
1.-The volcano! the volcano!'
was the simultaneous exclamation.
Blu. the words had hardly passed
their lips before the fantastic vi
sion had vanished. The wind sud
denly changed to southeast, and
drove the ship back again from the
land.
"Confound it," said Hatteras;
1--we weren't three miles from the
coast"
However, resistance was impossi
| BILE. All that could be done was
to keep lacking; but every few
minutes the little sloop would be
thrown on her side, though she
righted herself again Immediately,
| obedient to the helm.
AS Hatteras stood with dishev-
elled hair grasping the helm as if
welded to his hand, he seemed the
animating soul of the ship.
