CHAPTER 1.
What a Peed night It wee! Great
heaveni what a fierce, Mad gale it Was
that rag'edthat night all along the Emelt
coast. The wind shrieked. and tore up
ehaneel like a pack of demons yelling
end whirling in the Weems orgies of a
dance of death, driving the flood -tide on
before it, toesing up the angry sea into
rneuntains of fouling breakers, that
lifted themselves lihe the monsters of
a fevered dream, poising above their
prey, then hurling the white -capped,
mass of water down upon their Weil
'vectints, 'whether thet were inch or
hawk Inutaau hantliworie or human
lives.
It hail blown A gale all day, and in
the early morning some of the Brighton
boatmen hael said "the wiud would. sink
at sunset—it was just the last gasp of
the September gales" but When night
came, black as pitch, and, wilder than
ever, they were forced to change their
note, and men and women, in the seat-
tered crowd that began to gather all
along the sea frontage, lookee at each
other, and, many a, careless lip, that per-
haps rarely whispered a prayer, breathedi
a deep, hushed "heaven help those at
aea to -eight."
Hark! •What Was that? The deep
boom of a gun out at see, heard threugh
all the roar of wed send water—once--'
twiceethet awful Bolted of woe that
made those men who had till now re-
mained indoonespring to their feet with
blanehed cheeks, awl rush forth to swell
the crowd without.
"Girls, I'm of 1 1 I can't stand, that sig-
nal of dietreset" cried a gentleman who,
with two fair young girls, had been
watching the gale from a handsome
Irene sitting room in the Bedford Hotel,
"I am phyeician still, if I ant retired,
and I may be oE use. Give me my fur
cep, my daughter; and, Blanch.e, hand
me out that brandy flask—quickl
Thanks."
And Dr. Roland Clifford hurried out.
His thews and sinews might be of Wie
as well as his skill, for he Wes a fine,
esswerfully built man of the Danish type,
end not more than four or five -and -
forty.
It was a densely dark eight, and the
wind drove the eceun in a blinding white
mist of spray right freetheee. The andi
the pitiless fury of the gale made it an
absolute battle with the elements to
make headway at all to the betteh—such
of it as was still uncovered—below the
green opposite Brunswick Terrace. But
as thither the people were strearaing, on
that part also Dr. Clifford bore down as
best Ire could. .
Flambeaus were almost impossible,
and men with lanterns movedi about,
throwing a fitful, luri dglare here and
there, which only deepened the darkness
around.
"But where is she—the vessel?" asked
Dr. Clifford of an old boatman. "Noth-
ing can live long in such a bollin,g sea
as this." ,
"No, sir; I'm afeared nothing can.
They made three tries to launch the
life -boat afore they could get her off,
and now heaven only'keows where she
or the vessel are! They sent up rockets
here when the gun went, and we could
juat make her out, sir, straight afore
us here, dismasted, her funnel bent, and
she just beating her life out on the bar

I reckon?"
"I thought I saw something black on
the foam just now!" said Clifford quick -

The crowd surged, then watched
breathlessly; then a wild cry of excite-
ment burst forth:
"A boat! a boat struggling for life!"
Up from the coast -guards post went
a flaming rocket wh-z-1 into the howling
wind's eye.
"She's close! To the rescue!" shout-
ed the stalwart doctor, rushing forward
with a score of gallant fellows, all ready
to wade out the moment the boat was
near enough to be aided.
Now she sunk deep into the trough,
anon she was lifted high and half
ewamped; now ;the is close, but on the

"There was one hand (short, but a gen-

'me whether he livesi or died.' I heard
him say; and he went. Ah I another roc-
ket. Look, pie I there she is. What an
awful sea to fight against! Did yea see
how full she is of human ;souls?"
It is scarcely possible to deseribe ade-
quately the next few minutes of watch-
ing. A thousand lives seem toeach to
be crowded into that short span of time,
as they caught glimpses of the long life-

"Where is the worrian?" cried some

breath. "Ife doesn't care for his life one
bit; he's a splendid PdloW 1"
Now, indeed, the crowd watched with
bated breath and agoay of suspense
but only when the rookete were sent up
could the keenest sight catch, or fancy
it caught, a glimpse of that daring man
fighting with the ma for a human life.

There is a ringing cheer. Clifford and
a dozen others rush forware, and as the
waters pitch themselves over, they drag
the daring rescuer and Ms charge out of

spent; but the doctor lifts the slender,

"Queer customer!" said another —

"Guess he's rich," added a third. "Did

Who and what was this stranger—

lutpless vessel—enothing more to him or
any one else, as far as he know.
