There was not a sign of life on board; not a eound of life could be heard, except now and again when a ewirl of of water made the rudder cheins rattle and creak, as the wheel moved a few spokes latokrvard and forward, or when an albatross flepped up from the see, hovered over the eitip, and then flew away into the distance. Tee day paeeed slowly, as many days had passed- ; the sun began to sink lower in the weetern sky, and once more, like a blood-rerl shield, sank into the bosom of the ocean, leaving behled it a flood of erubescent light, which tinged the sky with its ensanguined hues, and 'these, reflected in the water beneath, (named the ehip to appear as if she was floating in. a sea ef blood.

A few minutes afterward another gleam of liebt shot from a small aperture in the door of the foreoasble cloak -house and two eyes - cruel, reedish.brown eyes--aleo peered eau. tiously out. Theme two men had been for days waiting and watching for each •other's death. They were the captain and Mate of the vessel, who when the crew had taken to the boats had refused to desert her. For days and weeks -how many they had no idea, for they had lot* all count of time - they had been alone on the pathless deep. At flesh they had made the best of their situ ation, day by day hoping and expecting that succor would come and they should be res- cued. They had put thetnselves on short allowance of both food and water, but notwithstanding the food was at length nearly coneumed, the water was quite ex heisted, so that they had nothing left that was drinkable but a few bottles of wine and brandy. To the torture of hunger was now added the aeony of raging thirst -a thirst whieh neither wine nor brandy would quench, but rather intensify. Anything more horrible than their situa- tion can not be imagined and the dreadful conviction was being forced upon them that they mum die.

The brig sun held on her course. By this time she was within half a mile of them, But suddenly the hot puffs ceased and she lay motionless on the water. All this while °apt. Dunnett and the mate, who had soon recovered his oonscionenees, stood watching her in an agony of suspense. The gloom was rapidly deepening ; the olonds were hurrying on; the moon and the stars had all disappeared, and the sky was one vast pall of inky blackness. Broad sheets or lightning now and then shot up from the bosom of the ocean, illuminating the whole masa of sea and clouds with ablue speotral light, which made the portentous aspect of the heavens more visible, while the silences when unbroken by the thunder, was solemn and oppressive.

Up to this point the mate had been the most hopeful of the two, but now he had abandoned himself to de- spair. No succor could reach them, he knew, while the calm lasted, but this was not the thought that was haunting hie mind. "One of them must die -the death of the one would be the preservation of the other." This was the mental refrain which, as it were, formed the chorus to every other thought. "The death of one would be the preservation of the other." He sat there eying the captain with a diabolical leer. He was no longer a man; he was a demon. Suddenly he started up, 13y a revulsion of feeling, which is not un- common in such oases, he had passed from helpless despondency into furious delirium. With a hoarse ory he had sprung at Capt. Dunnett, brandishing a long knife in his band. A fierce struggle ensued; it was sharp and short, and the mate, after being disarmed, was pushed forward, and fell trio lently upon the deck. Capt. Dunnett was the yousger and stronger of the two, and, had he been so inclined, could have dispatch- ed the mate with ease ; but he contended himself with disarining him, threw the knife into the sets, retreated to the cabin and shut and looked the door. The mate after this grew more furious, and after vainly attempting to eneer the oab- in withdrew to the forecastle and took up his abode there.; and now for three days he had been waiting and watching for the cap - teen's death. To be b iried alive has been thought to be beyond question the most painful of all deaths; but it is doubtful if the long drawn agonies which were being endured by these two men were not the more painful of the two. "How long -how long oan this last?' moaned Capt. Dannett as he sat and gazed oat into the night. A painful sort of apathy was stealing over him. He had no hope, he made no effort, he had no longer any WWI to live. If death were coming hie only prayer was that it might come quickly. • Slowly, minute by minute, the life was ebbing out of him; and as surely, with a tortoise -like gradation, the night crept on. The moon had risen, and now, in full-orbed splendor, was riding high in the heavens, oasteing a long waste of silvery light on the placid seat, which danced and flickered right away to the distant horizon. The two lights still gleamed on to the de. eerted deck and the two watchers still watch- ed on. Meanwhile nature had not been idle. Away in the ditatanehorizon great masses of fleecy clouds began to pile themselves up one above another, gradually extending them. eelvee acrossthe northern heavens. The loud -packing went on for more than half an hour, accompanied by hot puffte of wind which noW and again ruffled the water.

Oyster farmers are experiencing their usual trouble with the starfish, says a Nor. wide (Conn.) letter to the New York " bune." A etarfish is a unique instrumene of destruction. The body 18 depressed and divided into rays like a star'the upper surface is studded with rough knobs, be. bween which are the openings of many minute tubes for the passage of water In and out of the body. ' On the ex- ternal edges of the rays are stiff spines; which serve as protections, and at the end of eaoh ray is a small reddish ayeespeck. The mouth opens in the stomach cavity. It Is very flexible and will admit large mol - tusks will the shell, the hard parts being ejeoted after the soft portions are digested. A Norwich man pioked up a beautiful specimen at Watch a few days ago, but in leaked that sponge -like elasticity for which they are noted. He tipped up the stomach and out tumbled a big dean, shell and all, measnring four inches in diameter. The fish measured but five. But the most peculiar thing about the starfish is its great power of regeneration of lost parts. If one of the arms or rays becomes broken off the fish willgrow another; if four of the five i are lost t will live to reproduce them all; but if the five meet with destruction the fish dies. The walking stomachs drift leisurely along the shore devouring all the accumu- lated garbage, but always pointed for one particular spot -an oyster bed. Armed with a natural saw and syringe they march upon the bivalves, out a small opening in the shell and inject is fluid which stupifies the oyster and renders its an easy prey. When once they arrive destruction is swift, and hundreds of acres of oysters are destroy. ed before their presence is discovered. Young stars tive on "jingles" until they are able to cope with an oyster, These are small sheltie about the size of a eaan's thumb, which are planted by oystermen for oyster spat or seed to adhere to, and so lose them means the loss of a season's orop. At six months a star.fish is big enough to tackle an oyster. The advancement from "jingles" to healthy bivalves is always characterized by is fight, old farmers say. Many are the babbles that they have wienessed in shallow watsr when the ,sea was smooth and the water clear. The young starfish lacks sm- perience and the oysters make it rather un- comfortable for them by catching their rays between the shells and pinching them off. One old fisherman tells of a fight between a big oyster and a little fi3h which he saw last season. It was a fight "to a finish," and one the like of which he never saiVir be- fore. The youmg starfish approached the open oyster and. slowly settled down upon it. The shell sprang together with a snap and the fith, which had settled upon it with five ' rays, bobbed suddenly up with only four. The oyster , again dropped his blinds and awaited a second attack. Re didn't have to wait) long. Slo aly the fish began to drop until he was again astraddle of tlnaoyster when a repetition of the former round occurred and he now had three rays instead of five. i Three times more this scene was enacted and then the fish keeled over, dead. The army of ()veer pirates has arrived in Connecticut waters, and the sound motor- men in the vicinity of Stamford are bemoan- ing their fate. Tney have come 1,000,000 strong ElDa are sawing away at a terrifio rate. But the battle le not a one-sided affair byany means. Dredges are busy at work, raising both bhe starfish and the oysters. The former are put into barrels and killed by steam, while the oysters are replanted. When life has been boiled out of the starfish they ' are shoveled back into the sea for other species of the wet world to feed upon. But this method of destroying the destroy. er is not a satiefeatory one ; it is alto. Wier too slow, Every oyster farmer holds his views of how the dread enemy ODE, be exterminated, but they prove impractic- able, ' The smoke belched forth in large 'volumes, and now :and again a bright, flickering flame shot up from the hatchway. In another few minutes the , flames were pouring into the cuddy and the whole structure was on fire. The flEIMOS extended and in less than ten minutes the whole of the afterpart of the ship was, on fire, the lurid.glare lighting up the eneerinoumbent clouds and leaden sea and producing a scone of surpassing grandeur. And now another danger was threatening them. Away in the distance there was a dull, sobbing moan, which each minute be- came more distinot-the tornado was feat approaching. _ The last Wine they had looked at the brig she was laying becalmed; and they had magined that at the rate the conflagration was extending there was little chance of succor arriving in time to save them, for now the deck was getting hot under their feet and tne fire had extended to the fore- castle deck -house; but at that moment they were startled by the sharp cry of " Ship ahoy 1 Ship ahoy 1" and looking in the direction from whence the sound OAMO they saw is boat, manned with four oars, pulling rapidly toward them. In another minute the weloome'sound of "In bowl" was heard, and the boat was alongside. No time was to be bat; the storm was brewing in the north, and if it burst upon them before they reached the ship their doom was certain. Again, the • powder in the hold might explode at arty minute, so they hurriedly lowered tnemselves into the boat and pushed off. While the ?second mate WM rescuing the two men from the burning ship the captain and mate of the brig were making all pre - &rations for the coming gale, and before the boat had got alongside the sales had been furled and everything made snug. Capt. Dunnett and his mate had been kept up by the excitement of the eituation, but the moment they were on board the brig theft fainted dead off and were taken belOw in a state of unconsciousness. This had scarcely been accomplished and the giterter.boat hoisted up and madinfast when the tornado burst upon them With terrific Aeraenems. For a few minutes they could neither see nor hear anything bull the roar. fng of the tormented waters and the howl - ng and thundering of the wind.

It was a scene of grandeur and horror which it; would be difficulb to equal, and ex- cited awe in every heart, The force of the wind was tremendousand the two veseele drove on madly before it The Wreck Was now one mass of flatness, the red glare of which lit up the foaming sea and the sky ews, 11.
