Soon the “Fish-eagle” slid into a ghostly veil of white, and crept with softly panting engines across the cen- tre of a narrow circle of sea. For a. time them was no sound outside her to break the stillness, save the gurgle about the screw and the waiter of water along her bends, and then some- thing which might have been the man of groundâ€"swell on a steepâ€"to lnach reached the anxious ears of the crew.

Dark figures clustered along the rail, and the mate carefully polished the lenses of his night-glasses. Mist in all probability meant ice, and- ice was the last thing he desired to see. .Then a.

Then when man after man had stated his views, ramblingly and at length after the manner of his kind, only to confirm the opinion of a. predecessor that it. was a very bad case indeed, boxtstaerer Nicholson pro- ceeded to szttle the matter. a vivid bluish blackness slowly rose and fell, as though the deep see. were breathing uneasily beneath. ‘ Captain, mate. and engineer were busy an hour outside on the ice, and their faces were very grave when they climbed on board again. Two of the prope'ler blades had gone; the .star- board bilge which lay upon the ice bulged inwards a foot throughout its length, and half the outer sheathing was torn away. “Chile the three offi- cers took counsel together, a second and quite unofficial examination was made by the the crew. who afterwards held an informal meeting among the hammocks of the ice.

At last the steamer’s hull twisted and createdâ€"they could feel her bilges yield and crush, in spite of steel stringer, massy oak. and bracing bulb-beam. Suddenly the long deck rose up beneath their feet, tilted over at a sharp angle. and lay still again, while a suwession of sharp detona- tiom rang out through the mist like the sound of musketry firing. The crew shuddered as they listened, for they had all been in- thoss danger- ous seas befom, and knew tht a. syirl on an unseen barrier rising all about her, until theifog stirred: mysteriously, and the ocean heaved from no appar- ent cause. A sharp crackling noise commenced again, and a. glimmering mass slid! out. of the vapor and ground 1 along the steamer’s side.

A second reaping and screaming began, to star- board tth tine; then the ‘.‘EEsh-eagle” shivered. as something smote her lawn, and for a nerve-trying hour. which I might have been a year, the invisible field about her stoned and stirred as if alive. _ __ ‘ _ I "u u “ es”, answered the captain fiercely, “we can only wait." and he ground his heels into the planks as he added.

And now, the some“ we get all the 011 we can out of her and clear of this condemned ice, the better." A confused roar, which was belt a i cheer and half a delirious about of. re- lief, went. up from the “Fish-eagle’s" deck. One fireman swore vigorously and profanely, a grimy comrade leaned forward upon the rail with his head between his hands. sobbing like a. girl, while a. French-Canadian beside him culled aloud on the saints above. The little second mite. who also hailed from old Quebec. flung his arms into the air, geaticulating wildly; and the gaunt engineer rubbed hs reddened eyes with his knucklesâ€"the smoke of the fire has got into them, he alter- wards explained.

Then' he gave the order “Fire the gun." and a long red flash blazed forth from the how-3. while a. Jar-ring crash set every spar .quiverim. The ice took up the sound and flung it from huqlmozk to hammock. echom and ring.‘ mg. and then a puff of blue vapor rose up above the m'Wthubâ€"wbâ€"Wcmr higher above the distant sailcloth. and a faint boom came down the wind. “Thank God for that l” the captain aid. ‘ Themen needed no second telling. Doors and scantling were wrenched down. and a fine whaleboit was ruth- lessly hacked to bits; busy figures swarmed like ants up and down the "Fish-eagle's" side. and soon a. ten- foot pile of timber drenched in oil was burning like a volcano upon the ice. A column of ruddy flame roired ialo't. wisps of smoke addied about the steamer’s mastheads. and her master turned h's anxious eyes seaward. The stranger was plainly visible now - a strip of black hull with a pyram‘d of dingy canvas above it, rolling acrms the heaving levels as fast as steam and a light air out o! the nortl cenld drive her. But streaks of mist were already crawling across the sea. be- tween. and a filmy whiteness obscured the low-hung sun. A' clamor of vo’ces rang out. and the c'aptnin came down. “Don’t make too sure y.et men. she may not see us.’ he said slowly and deliberately. though his vo'oe trembled. “Load the brass gun to the muzzle, and you. Mr. Mayne. take plenty of oil and build the biggest bonfire you can upon the ice. Lend a hand every one. and burn whatever on be torn adrift. There’s no time to lose.” I One morning. clearer than usual, Iwhen the captain stamped up and down the deck with tier-ca wrath mauldering in his heart, a frantic yell !from the man in the crows nest set the blood stirring in his veins. In a few moments he stool a‘oft on the topsoil-y ard, and. straining his eyes. made out a patch of something which was not wh’. to but gray, contrasting with the m’st that walled. the circle in. Clutching his glasses. he watched it breathlessly. until the patch took shape and yform, deve'opng the hazy outline of a vessel.

Day by day the “Fish-eagle" drifted steadily north between a shroud of clammy mist. At times a rush of icy wind swept the vapor aside, and her crew could see a. streak of gray mean stretching away until it was lest in {the eastern haze. Then the captain climbed to the crosstrees and sit until his limbs were useless sweeping the horizon with his glasses. but the sear rim was always blank and void.
