In the cabin I entered I noticed a pair of cork jac- kets pushed under a bunk. I dragged them out, and heaped them on top of “Good-bye," I said, “and may GOO bless you to your kindness to one who really stood in want 2!

I. would work as never man ever worked before to make an honorable place tor. myself among those with whom my lot should be cast. The whole of the remainder strength of their respect and esteem I would be able to face whatever punishment Providence should decree as the result of my sin. In the strength of this firm resolve I found myseli becoming a happier man than I had been for years past. - . 1-... ‘tnAfldfl By this time .we had lea muucxus behind us, and were fast approaching Tenerifle. In another day and a half. at the tongest calculation, I should know my fate._ - - _._.-1.:_... 0A.. That night I had been smoking tor some time on the fo’c'sle. but after supper, feeling tired, had gone to my bunk at an earlier hour than usual. For some reason my dreams were the reverse of good, and more than once I woke in a fright, imagining myself in danger. To such a state of nervous- ness did this fright at last bring me that, unable to sleep any longer, I got out of bed and dressed myself. When I I, A at. Ann‘! oul. UL Wu quu u- v.1 was ttu attired {331E111 the deck, to discover a fine starlight night with a nice breeze blowing. I made my way to my usual sppt i_’orrard. and, leaning *3 1-..... o. the 9v m; ..._....__ . on the bulwark, looked down at the sea. We were now in the region of phosphorescent water, and the liquid round the boat’s cutwater sparkled and glimmered as if decked with a million diamonds. In the apex of the bows the look-out stood. while black and silent behind him the great ship show- ed twice its real size n the darkness. The lamps shone brilliantly from the port and starboard lighthouses. and I could just manage to distinguish the omcer of the watch pacing up and down the bridge with the regularity of an automaton. There was something about the silence, and that swift rush- ing through the waterâ€"for we must have been doing a good sixteen knotsâ€" that was most exhilarating. For some- thing like an hour I stood and enjoy- ed it. My nervousness soon left me. and to my delight I found that I was beginning to feel sleepy again. At the end of the time stated I made my way [1V1 \:V|IIIUIJ .uv.....--,... I was wondering all the time what I had better do. “Every man to his station." bellow- ed the skipper. coming to the rails of the bridge. and tunneling his mouth with his hands so that his voice might be heard above the din. "Be steady. men, and remember that the first man who gives any trouble I shall shoot without warning." Then, turning to the chief officer. he signed to him to take the carpenter and hasten forrard in an endeavor to ascertain the nature of the injuries the vessel had received. By this time all the passengers were on deck. the women pale and trem- bling, and the men endeavorlng to calm and reassure them as well as they were able. I made my way up the ladder to the hurricane deck. and as , L _-____ {3556 felt tie vessel give a heavy lurch. and then sink a }it_tle deeper in ,Ll-‘ lutbll, uuu ‘Mvu _..--__ the water. A moment later the chief officer and carpenter crossed the well and hurried up the ladder to the bridge. We all waited in silence for the verdict that meant life or death to everybody. ‘ " â€"-IJ LL- 5v vvanw'_â€".,_ “Ladies and gentlemen," said the skipper, coming down from the bridge. after a short conversation with them, and approaching the anxious group by the chart room door, “I am sorry to have to tell you that the ship has struck a rock, and in a short time will be no longer habitable for us. I want. however, to reassure you. There is ample boat accommodation for twice the number of our ship's company, so that you need have no possible fear about leaving her. How long it will be before We must go I cannot say. There is a strong bulkhead between us and the water which may stand long enough for us to reach Teneriire, which is only about a hundred miles distant. I think, however, it would be better for us to be prepared for any emergency. The ladies will therefore remain on deck, while the gentlemen go down to their cabins and bring them such warm clothing as they can find. The night is cold. and in one we may have to take to the boats before morning it will be well for everybody to make thanselves as warm as pos- sible." ‘ -- - _-_J.IA_ Without more ado the male portion of the passengers ran down the stair- way to the saloon like so many rab- bits, I following at their heels to see if I could be of assistance. Into the cabins we rushed at_ random! collect- Wu.â€" _ _.. ing s'uc'l'x" artia'eE of apparel as we could find, and carrying them on deck with all possible haste. ‘Tlie necessity 7 A â€"- All Céntinued from page IWO) for him.” tether day and a halt. calculation, I should had been smoking for the fo’c'sle. but after tired, had gone to my rlier hour than usual. n mv dreams were the She obeyed me willingly enough, and when I had buttoned the last gar- ment up I insisted on her putting on one of the cork lifebelts. As soon as she was clothed I put another garment big for her to wear. but tnstened round her shoulders I knew It would an. swer the same mace ’wau, v. J'â€" t the very instant that I was going to answer her the vessel gave a sud- den pitch. and before the boats could be lowered or anything be done for the reservation of the passengers, she egan to sink rapidly. Seeing that it was hopeless to wait for the boats. I dragged my two companions to the ladder leading to the after spar deck. When I reached it. I tore down the rail just at the spot where Miss May- bourne had fallen overboard on the Spanish coast a few nights before. and, this done, bade them Jump into the sea without losing time. Miss May- bourne did so without a second thought; the child, however. hung back, and cried piteously for mercy. But, with the ship sinking so rapidly under us, to hesitate I knew was to be lost, so I caught her by the waist, and, regardless of her screams, threw her over the side. Then. without wait- ing to see her rise again. I dived in myself. The whole business. from the moment of the first crash to the time 3 __A ”VA-iv..- ot our springing overboard, had not lasted five minutes. One thing was self-evidentâ€"the bulkhead could not have possessed the strength with which it had been credited. "any“ . â€"â€"_ _..7 0n coming to the surface again I shook myself and looked about me. Behind me was the great vessel, with her deck's by this time almost on a level with the water. In another in- stant she would be gone. True enough, before I had time to take half a dozen strokes there was a terrific explosion, a»: v-nvw â€"v- - and next instant I was being sucked down and down by the sinking ship. How far I went, or how long I was beneath the waves. I have no pos- sible idea. I only know that if it had lasted much longer I should never have lived to reach the surface again or to tell this tale. But after a little while I found myself rising to the sur- face, surrounded by wreckage of all sorts and descriptions. â€"- . - a,__A av. say a...“ ‘vâ€"'â€" _ 0n reaching the top. I looked about me for the boats, which I felt sure I should discover: but, to my surprise. I could not distinguish one. Was it possible that the entire company of the vessel could have gone down with her? The thought was a terrible one. and almost unnerved me. I raised my- self in the water as well as I was able. and as I did so I caught sight of two people within a few yards of me. I swam towards them, and to my joy discovered that they were Miss May- bourne and the child upon whom I had fastened the cork lifepreservers a few minutes before. "Oh. Mr. Wrexford. cried Miss May- bourne, in an agonised voice. “What are we to do? This poor child is either dead. or nearly so. and I can see no signs of any boat at all.” ~â€"»l__.l_ _. l.‘â€" g "My poor. poor uncle!" she cried. “Can he have perished! Oh, it is too awful!" The cork litebelts were keeping them up famously. and on that score I felt no anxiety at all. But still the situation was about as desperate as it well could be. I had not the least notion of where we were. and I knew that unless we were picked up we should he better drowned at once than continue to float until We died of star- vation. However. 1 was not going to frighten my only conscious companion by such gloomy anticipations. so I passed my arm round the child's waist and bade Miss Maybourne strike out for the spot where the ill-fated Fiji Princess had gone down. At the same time I asked her to keep her eyes open for a boat, or at least a soar of some sort. upon which we could support our- selves until we could find some safe:- refuge.

Surely we cannot be the only_ qqrviiiors?" . _-__g-. 0n the horrors of that ghastly swim it will not be necessary for me to di- late. I must leave my readers t9 1mg- glue them for themselves. Suffice it that for nearly a quarter of an hour we paddled aimlessly about here and there. But look as we might, not. a sign of any other living soul from aboard that ship could we discover, nor anything large enough upon which three people could rest. At last, just ‘vâ€"vv ___ -v r--,, care, I saw ahead of us a large white object, which, upon nearer approach, proved to be one of the overturned lifeboats. I conveyed the good news to Miss Maybourne, and then, with a new burst of energy, swam towards it and caught hold of the keel. She was a big craft, and. to my delight, rode high enough out of the water to afford us a resting-place. To pull myself and the child I carried on to her. and to drag Miss Maybourne up after me, was the work of a very few moments. -__-" __r-- as I was beglhhing to despair of sav- ing the lives of those whom Provi- dence had so plainly entrqsted “[12?
