' A heavy: sea, assisted by the heave and sudden jerk of n Hen, Bent tho forunmst? crashing over tho port cathead, and the Sunderland lay a dismantled wreck in tho Bay of Biscay. Not a man shrank" from his duty j nil worked with a will the tangled mass was cut away, and, as tho sun roso gleaming brightly across tho wild, raging sea, the ship was bobbing head to the wind, and all danger was considered over. The galo continued, and the sea men, with liylit hearts, worked away as they busied themsvlves rigging jury-masts. Ingram and the Becoud mate each bad gangs of tnoii, while tho captain rWtlod about decks urging the men to greater efforts. " Have you tried the pumps this nioriting, Mr. Ttigrum i" inquired tho captain, as he ranged up along side tho mate, who, with his coat off, was working us earnestly us .any Beaman. "Nor, uir, I have not. It slip ped my inirid, I was so busy rig ging tho jury-musts. It should have been attended to before. I am afraid the old craft may have strained herself with all the rough usage she has been subjected to. Knock off thete, carpanter und sound the well." ' The a-irpenter hid aside his tools, .procured tho sounding-rod, und'lowered it carefully down the pump-well. j, A look of consternation passed over his features us he examined ihe iiiotruinent. " Six feet and a half of water in tlic hold .'" he exrclaiined, us the rod dropped from his hand. If the) S-indifland had been struck by lightning, the consterna tion of the crew would have been no greater. Their counteuaiice dropped ; the careless laugh and merry joke -died away on their tieiubliug lips. Tho reaction was great, and once more they realized that death stared them ia the face. The eipt.iiu'd face was pale as lie heard the rcjiolt, aud he staggered back half paralyzed. The weight of declining years hail robbed him of energy and courage. Not so the mate. Springing " Seven feeff sir," was the startl ing reply ; and'for an instant both officers and riien gazed into each' other's eyes without Baying a word. Finally the hoatBwain, one of the best stfamen aboard, who bad labored fiithfully to the last, step- ped forward.' " Mr. 3NB,2ra|n> we're bourid to Davy Jones' looker, that is sure. It is useless to strugglo against the whole Bay of. Biscay with theso pulpd. Tho water .will run in faster than we can pump it out. Our life is to be cut short . we may ns well make it a merry one,, and die splic ing the niuin-brace. What do ye say, my lads 1". A roar of joyful assent burst "from the crew, and in a body they startedT toward tho cabin. Their fnoyeiueit and purposo had not. been unanticipated by either of the mates, and they stood" bodily be tween the men and the cabin-doors.

They deserted the pumps for a momelnt, arid the carpenter, by direccioiis of the mate, sounded again. ,- " Six feet nine, inches, sir," was the reply, of the petty officer, as he calmly wiped the moiaturo off the iron rod. The pumps had been in full and ceaseless operation, and despite the efforts of the crew, the Wutev had gained' upoii them three inches.
