a little more briskly and to notice

our condition with returning interest.
For some time the strange steadiness
or the ship had puzzled me without
arousing any definite inquiry in my
mind as to the cause of it. But cross-
ing the deck to re-enter the cabin the
tries significance of that want of mo-
tion suddenly burst upon me, for I
save the calm, face of the water only
a few inche,s from the deck -line. The
Blithen was sinking. During the ty-
phoon she must have received tremen-
dous iejuries from the wreckage of
her top -hamper, that floating along-
side entangled in the webli of its .rig-
ging, was as dangerous, as so many
rocks would havebeen. There was
urgent iaeed now for thought and ac -
prey to the most harrowing sensa-
tions in the belief that all our cruel
forebodings were about to be proved
true. For some time not a sound
could be heard in our hiding -place ex-
cept the soothing creak of the timbers
or the wash of the caressing waves
outside the hull. Yet I remember
curiously how even .in that agony of
suspense I noticed that 1.b.e motion of
the ship was changed. She na longer
seemed to swing buoyantly from wave
to wave, but solemnly, stolidly, she
rolled as if the sea had taken aosses-
sion of her, and bereft her of her own
grace of mastery.
A confused thudding sound reached
