Her crew were jubilant}; but probably no one was in better spirits than the 'skipper's pretty daughter, Mabel d, who had panied her father y on this trip. When, suddenly, like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, a dark cloud of wrongs and suf- ferings, which had been banging over the ship, broke upon them in all its terrible power, sending broken Learts and death into their midst, chilling the hopes of the crew and driving the captain and his daughter almost distracted with grief. Mabel Stanford was a general favorite of the ship's company. None could help liking and admiring her pleasant ways, and she, all unconscious of the fearful web she was mno- cently weaving, did her best to make the voyage pleasant, x Among Miss Stanford's most ardent ad, mirers, and one whom she seemed especial- ly to favor, was the second mate, young Frank Heywood, who loved her with all his heart, It was whispered among the crew that they wonld make & good match; but the skipper did not look upon the would-be union in that light; and it was generally known that he would prefer the first mate, who was also a suitor for his daughter's hand. Warren Gregg, the first mate, was a man pot far from thirty, who had followed the sea from his boyhood and was considered a first, class seaman. He was alittle below the | medium height, with a stout, thick-set frame and frank, open teatures, which great ly belied his true disposition. This was his second trip as mate of the Americus; and thongh he had sncceeded in gaining the goodwill of the captain, he was generally disliked by the crew for hig haughty and overbeaiing ways. That he loved Miss Stanford with all the ardor of which his nature was capable there was no doubt, and itis perhaps needless to say that he looked upon the attention the manly, handsome Heywood paid her with anything but pleasure, In fact he was mad with | jealousy, and the opportunity was only i wanting for his pent up passion to break out in a torrent of hatred and vengeance. | However, he had so governed his actions | | that no one had ever dreamed of the fierce | mental conflict that was racking his brain. | Affairs were at this state--Mabel openly ving the attentions of Heywood, while r father and brother, the supercargo, were | silently working to briug about a different result, and Gregg still trying to win her | from his 1, his passion growing fiercer | and fierceras his case grew more hopeless, | till plans for revengeful triumph went flitts ing through Lis brain, ready to try in case | fair means should fail--when an incident | occurred which tended to bring about an es- | trangement between the captain and his | daughter's lover. | It had been the aim ot the unscrupulous | Gregg from the first to bring about a quarrel | between the captain, or his sou Lewis, and | Heywood, Thus he was continually em- bittering the minds of both against the | mate; until at last his object was accom- | plished, Heywood and young Stanford had an open quarrel, brought about by the shrewd machi- nations of theficst mate, who had caused [the hot-headed | other of in, | lost, which | latter, whe supercargo to accuse the 1 ring be had mysteriously ly aroused the temper of the cussion followed which | would ha n blows had not some of { the crew interfered, The sympathies of the captain in this quar. re with his son, and those of Mubel with who she did not consider at all to s not far from the middle of the night the quarrel between Heywood and | Stanwood, and, save the gentle moaning of | the wind through the rigging, and the rippling lof the water as the ship ploughed on her silent as death, when the out with straining eyes in- ble gloom of the. black ex- 1s suddenly arovsel from vas steuling over him help, and then % er from ofl the lee how. Ik the supereargo, who but a 1 heen standing by his sides he young man wi follow ir ash i He turned to ant Jpn the giving of iptath and) crew wero eing brought they ri 2 Ie gz cib. |" What means this?" thundered the | skipper, as thoughts of foul play flashed | upon his brain, But amazed and startled Heywood was silent. « Who is lost 2" cried the captain in the next instant, But before anyone had time to answer him, hig own eyes told him, "My God | "tis Lewis ! and that red-hand- ed villain has murdered him, Qui k, men! hoist all the lights and man the boats! Let everything be done as quickly as possible. He may be living, and if you save bim this shall be a good night's job for you, Work, work for your lives" The ord us t rs of the grief-striken father readily obeyed, But, though lights and boats sent out in every on, nothing could be found of the lost me. So, at last it was given up as 8 hope- tess case, and the men returned to the ship, when Frank Heywood was seized for the murder of Lewis Stanford. No more sleep visited the ship that night. The gorrowing father paced the deck 'till daylight; and in the cabin below, his daughter was sobbing for the death of her brother, and for him accused ot that terrible deed, In the morning Heywood was arraigned b fore the crew on charge of wilful murder, Nothing seemed Jacking to substitute his zuilt, His quarrel with young Stanford and the circumstances onder which he h been found after the alarm, together with his appearance at the time, seemed fu fci- vn to prove Lis guilt, Yet, he stoutly protested his innocence, saying, in explanatic n of his conduct, that he had labored no illfeclings against Lew's, but had been ready to forgive and be forgiv- en As to his being found with that club in bis hands, it was accidentil, Feeling a little anxious about the weather, he had left his bunk to go upon deck, and was just in season to hear the cry which bad caused the alarm, ~ Hastening to the spot he sturubled over something in his path.
