There was a fiery crimâ€" son gleam along the western horizon, against which the leathery foliage of the mangroves stood out black and clear as though carved in ebony ; while the yellow water and bubbling slime beneath flashed back a lurid glow upâ€" on the rusty plates of the steamer and the haggard faces of the men, *"The story of this Dutchman is a tragic one," observed the captain, wipâ€" ing the perspiration from his forehead. * She broke two plates on a reef ; then they beached her in here, and balf the bands died of fever,â€"easy to underâ€" stand that. She must have been a bad bargain for the syndicate." *"* Yes," was the answer; "this pile of old iron and rusty machinery has cost us four thousand pounds altogether. All we have got in return is the few bundred pounds‘ worth of odds and ends on board the tug, and we‘ve buried two men. The steamer will never float again ; in two years she‘ll be buried in a mangrove forest ; I‘ve seen it before in Africa. However, we‘ve all done out best and now we‘ll get out of this ghastly place before we die of fever. I‘m sick now, and you don‘t seem very bright." So they slid down a line into a boat which lay alongside, and with a brief, " Pull, lads," dropped wearily into the stern. Presently a dense volume of dingy smoke streamgl away frowmu the Coroâ€" na‘s funne!, and the boat trembled throughout to the vibration of ber panting engines, for the roaring bar ‘ay close abead wiled in a white smothâ€" er of foam. Oue she went, swinging a streaming forefoot high into the air, or plunging to the bitts in a white crested roller wallowing and diving with flooded 4ecks until at last the surf was passed and she rose and fell smooth!vy on the glassy undulations of the Atlantic. & Presently the captain strode to the end of the bridge and said: "The surf will be easy toâ€"day ; there‘s alight air off shore or deep as she is we‘d never have got out." Then the telegraph 'inkieg the propeller whirled up the foam astern, and with the muddy waâ€" ter boiling into white wreaths hbeneath her bows, the Corona steamed cown the lagoor. her bows, the Corona steamed cown the lagoor. A gomst4.. eaged over the rail, wayr‘ng bis tz.t as they passed aspit of yellow send. ‘"Goodâ€"bye, Tom; goodâ€"bye, Jim. Give the poor {fellows a call, sitr," he said. The captain smiled, then he raised bis cap, ind grasped alanvard. Three times the deep boom of the whistle rang out across forest and water, and tbhrice the red ensign flutâ€" tered aloft, as glowing streak of color against the morning blue, while rough weatherâ€"hbeaten men stood bareheaded in the rising wpn. Then a wheeling cloud of bats ind screaming parrots settled down «gain among the manâ€" groves, and the forest closed round a lonely wooden cross. "Thank God, we‘re off, and there are no more left behind. We‘re not out of the wood yet though," observed the griny engineer, as be looked out through the gcatings. _ _ sls For a time Cranton ieaned over tne rail, gazing into the gathering darkness and wondering how long it would take him to recover the health and money lost in this unfortunate venture. Forâ€" est and lagoon seemed to swarm with life. From somewhbere beyond the manâ€" grove fringe the how!l of a hunting leopard rang out through the stillness ; water and mud heaved and bubbled with the movement of countless scaly creatures; while at intervals the barsh croak of a wading stork echoed across the misty surface, or a swimming alliâ€" gator ploughed a furrow across the steamer‘s bows. All these sounds Cranâ€" ton knew and loathed. He had beard them before on the Amazon and the Niger, and knew that they bad rung the deathâ€"knell of many astrong man. But there was another sound which promâ€" ised life anmd health, and his flushed face brightened as a monotonors vibâ€" rating note drifted up the night breeve : it was the song of the long Atlantic swell sweeping across the thundering bar. With a last glance seawards, Cranton crawled into his stifling cabâ€" in, swallowed a bitter draught of whisâ€" key and quinine and flung bimself down to sleep. Early next morning he was awakened by the rattling winch and the clank of chain, and going on deck be saw the sickly crew geiting the anâ€" chor over the bows. The crew bent to their oars, and as the blades dipped foul exhalations rose from the yeasty water across which the lights of the tug twinkled faintly through the gathering mist. It was, as Cranton had said, a ghastly place, The dingy foliage of the mangroves walled the lagoon in on every side. In places the watery forest rose, a maze of white stems and interlacing branches from many feet of slime and froth ; while in others the arched roots crept like the tentacles of a huge octopus far out across banks of evilâ€"smelling mud, each pale branch overhead sending down a fresh snoot to feed on the corâ€" ruption belcw. Over all brooded a dense atmeosphere, heavy with the odors of puircfaction, which bring sickness and death to the Euronean who breathes him to recos lost in this : est and lago life.

Then the Corona was put on a southâ€"west course, an dshore her away at a good ten knots an hour, through the long blue swell, the flasbhing water roaring from beâ€" neath her bows and streaming aWwAYy astern in streaky lines of white and green in the wake of the throbbing propeller, while sickly men crawled about the deck drinking in with delight the pure seaâ€"breeze.

At first it was impossible to make out anything in the gloom, and the men stood with bent knees, balancing themâ€" selves against the heave of the vessel. and listening to the thunder of the water outside the vibrating plates each time the sharp bows cleft apart a brimâ€" ming swell. When his eyes became accustomed to the darkness, Cranton moved towards a wooden shelf, and bending over a heap of dirty blankets, said, ‘" Well, Johnson, how are yOU now ? Hold up your head and drink this." _ A faint light streamed in through a dirty port, as the steamer swung ber head out of the sea, fallâ€" ing upon the hallow cheeks and soakâ€" ing bair of a man, who stretched out a clawâ€"like bhand for the draught, and gasped: "about the same, sir; awful pain in all my bones, and something like hot iron round my skull ; but the fireman there‘s raving mad, and the nigger hasn‘t spoke for hours." _ _ Mrs. Bâ€"Indeed they are.

At what hou rof the day is a man at bhis strongest, and so fitted to do bhard work with the least weariness ? Probably the answer occurring at once to most persons would be, " When he gets up in the morning." This is by no means the case; on the contrary, according to experiments of Dr. Buch with the dynamometer, a man is preâ€" cisely at bis weakest when he turns out of bed. Our muscular force is greatly increased by breakfast, but it attains to its highest point after the midday meal. It then sinks for a few hours, rises again towards evening, but steadily declines from night till mornâ€" ing. The two chief foes of muscular force, according to Dr. Buch, are overâ€" work and idleness. Sweating at work deteriorates the muscles. Many of the great workers of the world have been early risers. But early rising, accordâ€" ing to Buch‘s doctrine, ought always to be supplemented by cearly breakâ€" fasting. All that day, and for several days following there was not a breath of air to ruffle the glassy surface of the swell which ran steep and high from horizon to horizon, as it often does off the Afâ€" rican coast for no apparent cause. Evâ€" ery morning the sun rose through a purple haze, gleaming coppery red, and as bhe swung slowly west across the heavens poured down the pitiless heat of the tropics upon the plunging tug, until the pitch boiled out of the seams, and thebrass of the rails felt scalding to the touch of incautious fingers. The mate lay burning with fever in a hamâ€" mock beneath the shade of the bridgeâ€" deck, while every now and then a fireâ€" man dripping with perspiration, and gasping for breath, dragged himself through the stokehold gratings to colâ€" lapse limply on deck. So the Corona drove along, westwards ever, stemming the strong Guinea current, amid the clatter of blocks, chafing of gear, and groaning of timber, while her captain and Cranton lay listlessly beside the wheel as the long hours dragged by, longing for a breath of cool air or the sight of a passing steamer from which they might obtain drugs or assistance. One evening, after the most trying day of all, the captain, who was gazing, out into the sunset, said languidly : "I see all kinds of bad weather there, and the barometer‘s falling fast. It‘s the tornado season, too, and we‘re loaded to the last inch. However, anything would be a relief after this." Sea and sky were one blaze of light, a hard, brassy glare above, with long lines of fiery radiance trembling across the swell below, while whirling wreaths of thin vapor drifted before an unfelt breeze across the red disk of the sinkâ€" ing sun. As Cranton advised, so it was done; and the fever stricken sufferers swung to and fro beneath an awning as the tug rolled along across the sunâ€"lit sea, a lonely wedge of dark hull ringed about with creaming foam, in the cenâ€" tre of a great azure circle. SÂ¥ ‘" We must get them on deck while it‘s fine," said Cranton. " Rig an awnâ€" ing and hammocks for them. _ I‘m afraid there‘ll be more down soon, and all our drugs are done." . e "I hope not," said the captain, "With the loss of the two poor fellows who died in the lagoon, and three helpâ€" less bere, we‘d be very shortâ€"handed if we got bad weather. It‘s lucky we shipped the three Krooboys, but I‘d give six montbs‘ pay to be safe in the Trades." SIGNS AND CBRTATINTIES. (To Be Continued.)

At halfâ€"past three on Monday mornâ€" ing, just before the first glimmer of daylight appeared, we sighted anothâ€" er steamer. No rockets were left ; but fortunately there was a Roman canâ€" dle, and this was supplemented by a blue light. The vessel was about three! miles away, and passing us at that distance. orF about two minutes afâ€". ter the blue light had died out, we all strained our eyes in anxious silâ€" ence; but the stranger was keeping a good lookout, and at the end of that time a bright light appeared from its deck for a moment; and then up into the clear sky shot a majestic rocket, and bursting at a great height, showâ€" ered down its colored balls. I have seen many rockets, but never enjoyed. the sight of one so much as I did them. \ A deep sigh of relief passed through all the assembled watchers; and alâ€" most immediately after, we could see all three of the steamer‘s lights, showâ€" ing she was steering straight for us. She soon got alongside as nearly as she dared to come; and ber captain having arranged to tow us to Madeira, distant about one hundred and ninety miles, if we could keep our vessel afloat we were taken in tow. To manage this we had to lower one of our hboats; and the trouble we had in getting that boat safely afloat gave us some idea of the difficulty ard danger there would have been, in the state of the sea, in getting everybody safely away in the boats. ye? Tenderfootâ€"Yes, I have come here to stay, and have already bought a home. I was attrasted to this place by an item in a newsnaper which said there had not been a ‘awsuit in your counâ€" try for ten years. _ _ Pnsd We had two more night and days of pumping and bailing, the water still gradually gaining on us. Once or twice we â€" managed to lower it an inch or two; but we soon lost the advantage we had gained. So matters went on. The last night, before we got in, I noâ€" ticed that every now and then little dark shadows flitted across the deck; which I was at a loss to account for. The mystery was explained the next morning, for one of the children bhapâ€" pening to go into the after wheelhouse, which was not used in a general way, found nearly all the rats in the ship assembled there. They had forsaken the hold, either because they considered the risk of drowning was too great there or possibly with some desperate hope of being able to ieave the ship before she went down. We made a raid on ‘them, and eleven rats came to an untimely end; " the rest they ran away." ols l $ Having sighted and passed the inâ€" hospitable island of Porto Santo, we arrived off the east end of Madeira. B{v this time there was fourteen feet of water in the afterâ€"hold, and the stern of the vessel was still lower in the water. There is a considerable race off the east end of the island, caused, I suppose, by unequal soundings: and the way the poor ship rolled in this broken water was sickening. She would make a beavy roll, say to port, and then she would stop, and as the weight of water followed the roll, she would continue to roll the same way as before, till you felt sure she was going to capsize; then she would slowly right, and go through the same performance the other way. However, we soon got under the lee of the island and into smooth water. T I was standing by the captain at the time, and heard him mutter something in which the word "fools" was noticeâ€" able. I asked what the signal meant, The question asked was: ‘‘Are you in distress?" A brief " Yes," was the reâ€" ply. Again up went the little flags from the station, and this time they said, " Do not anchor if you can help it;" and that because we were flying the yellow flag. These inhospitable Portuguese, rather than run the most remote risk of disease, would have alâ€" lowed us to go to the bottom without any hbelp. Our captain _ answered, "Must anchor, or beach hber;" and short!ly after, we did anchor. But not a soul was allowed on board to help us ; and a guard was set _ over us, to prevent any of the passengers or crew from landing. However, we got some help at last. The people of Madeira are noted for their powers of swimming and diving. No divingâ€"dresses were to be had ; but without them, we got two of the best divers to come off, and though not alâ€" lowed to come on board, they were alâ€" lowed to work outside the ship. They had two boats made fast astern, and they dived in turn, taking a hbeader with a lump of oakum in one bhand, and in the other a short thin picce of wood to drive in the oakum. They had a depth of twenty feet to dive to get to the leak, still each time they manâ€" aged to drive in the lum» of oakum before coming up; and after a time, they so far stopped the leak that the pumps began to gain on it. This was all that was wanted ; and six bhours afâ€" ter, the water was so far reduced that the engineers were able to get at the leak from the inside. Two or three days longer we were kept prisoners on board a vessel that could not move; and then one of the huge Castle line of steamers came in, to which I joyfully transferred myself and luggage after a bearty goodâ€"bye to the captain and others. _ _ Thus, by God‘s help, and the care and patient perseverance of the capâ€" tain and his officers, not a life was lost or a person injured, and the good ship herself was kept afloat. Four days later I reached Plymouth. (The end.) Our steamer bad come from a, South American port, which the Portuguese are pleased to consider unhealthy. Though there was nobody ill on board, and the vessel had left that port some three weeks or more, she was obliged to hoist the yellow quarantine flag on nearing Madeira.

From letters and reports recently received at the Department of the Inâ€" terior from Mr. William Ogilvie, the Dominion Yukon surveyor, and the leading authority on matters relating to the Yukon country, some very inâ€" terestirg information may be gatherâ€" ed. Mr. Ogilvie estimated that from $2,500,000 to $3,000,000 in gold was taâ€" ken out this year. In the creeks already being worked, Bonanza and Eldorado, there aro, he calculates, some $60,000,000 or $70,000,â€" 000, in gold, so that for several years to come they will perhaps yield enorâ€" mously. This, of course, refers only to the discoveries already made and there is an immense strentch of country as yet untouched. Even when the placer mines are exhausted the quartz disâ€" coveries will make mining a permaâ€" nent business there. Referring to the reports of the wonâ€" derful amounts of gold taken out in a single pan, Mr. Ogilvie gives some of his own experiences. In one of the mines owned by Mr. Clarence Berry Mr. Ogilvie asked to be allowed to pan out a panful of dirt The pay streak here was very rich, but, standing at the bottom of the shaft, looking at it by the light of the candle, all that could be seen of the streak was a yellowish looking dirt, with hore and there the sparkle of a little gold. Air. Ogilvie took a big panful to the surâ€" face and started to wash it out. Speaking of the quartz to be found in the Yukon Mr. Ogilvie reports that he made a number of tests roughly for several men. One man brought in a sample from a quartz ledge he had discovered. Mr. Ogilvie weighed out several samples, crushed them, washed out the gold and found the ore went $1,000 to the ton even by that crude method. Other samples he tried went as low as $100 to the ton. "More dirt than gold," he remarked, but as the dirt went out and the gold began to glisten he writes that he was compelled to reverse his decision for when the gold was washed _ and dried it weighed a little over $530. _ Mr. Ogilvie denies the highly colorâ€" ed reports alleging lawlessness on the part of American miners at Pawson Our Stook of DRY LUMRE is very Large so that all orders can be filled.
