cottage and some to hihat, but the
greater part came ib'ack to B'ranksome
' with us, where we - gave them , such
dry clothes as wie» icoul'd lay our
hands on, and served them with beef
'and beer • by the kitchen fire. The
captain, whose naai:e' was Meadows,
compressed his bulky • form, into a
suit of my own, and "came down to
,Cha parlor, where he mixed himself
some grog and gave my father anal
myself a'n' a'ccouiat of the disaster.
"II'i l't;hafin't been for you, sir, and
your brave 'fellows,' he .said, •smiling
across at ire, 'we shnowld be ten lath-
oms deep by this time. .As to the
'Belinda,' she Was a leaky old tub,and
well insured so neither the , owners
nor sI are likely to break our hearts

"I am afraid," said our father sad-
ly, "`that we shall never see your
three passengers again. iI' have left
men upon the beach in case 'they
should ibe waahe'd .up, but.I fear it is
hopeless. II saw them go downwhen
the vessel split, and no man could
have dived ,for a mo'men't a'mong'th'at

` `Who were they?" • 1 asked . "I
couldnot have believed that it was
possible for men to appear so uncoil-
cerned in the face of such imminent
peril."
'As to who they are or were," the
captain answered, puffing' t'haughtful-
ly at his pipe, ;'that is 'by no means
easy to say. :Our last port was Kur-
rachee, in the north of India, and
there we took them aboard as passen-
gets for Glasgow. Ram 'Singh was
the name of the younger, and it is
only with hint that II have come in
contact, but they all appeared to be
quiet, inoffensive gentlemen. 'I never
in'quinred their business, but S should
judge that they were 'Parsee merch-
ants front Hyderabad' whose trade
took them to Europe. 'I could never
see why the crew should fear them,
and the mate, too; 'he should have had
more sense.":
"Fear themd" I ejaculated in sur-
prise.
"Yes, they had some preposterous
idea that they were dangerous ahfp-

would find that they are an agreed

`What do you make of it all, these,
'Hawkins?" asked the captain with a
'troubled. face; "what is your own

"Why, in my opinion," the mate
answered, "them three swahs have

the great bosom of the 'b'ay was
still heaving 'convulsively, and its
waves were breaking into sobs against
the rocks, but there was none of that
wild turmoil which we had seen in
the early morning. The long emerald
ridges,+with their smart cocked-
es of foam, rolled slowly and lnaj:est-
ically in, to break with a regular ry-
thyro—the panting of a tired moi}-
ster. A: cable length from the 'shore
we could see the mainmast of ,the
bark floating. upon the waves, disep-

sea, and then shooting up . toward

evening the wind wasblowing in
shfort angry puffs, and' the w'ester'n
nlorizaon was' heaped with sombre
'cloud's whioh stretched their long
ragged teuraeles right up to' the zen-
ith, Against their dark background
one or tw'o livid sulphur colored
splotches sh'ow'ed up malignant and
menacing, while the surface of the sea
changed from the appearance .of
quicksilver to . that of
,ground glass. A low moaning sound
rase up from the ocean as if it 'knew
that trouble was in store for -bt. Far
out in the Channel I' saw a single
panting, eager steam vessel making
its way to Belfast Lough, and the
'large bark which I had observed in
the morning still beating about in thean
,offing, endeavoring to pass to the
•northward. At nine o'clock a sharp
breeze was 'blowing; at ten it had
freshened into a gale; and Ibefore mad-
night She most furious storm was rag-
ing which I can remember upon the
weather beaten coast.
i sat for some time in our small
oak -panelled sitting room listening to
the screeching and howling of the
'blast and to the rattle of the gravel
and pebbles a's they pattered against
the window. Nature's grim orchestra
was playing its world -old piece with
a compass which ranged from the
deep diapason of the thundering surge
to the thin shriek of the scattered
sh'ingle and the keen piping of fright-
ened sea birds. Once for an instant I
opened the lattice window, but a gust
Of wind and radii came blustering
through, bearing with it a great sheet
of sea -'weed, which flapped down up-
the table. It was alt I could do to
elose it again in the face of the blast.
My sister and my father had retired
to their rooms, but nay thoughts were
too active for sleep, so I continued to
it and smoke ‘by the smoldering fire;
What was going on in the Hall, now,
1 wondered? What did Gabriel think
of the storm, and how did it affect
the old man who wandered about in
the night. 'Did he welcome 'these
dread forces of nature as being of the
same order of things as his own tu-
multuons thoughts?
It was only 'four days now from
the date which I had been assured
'was to mark a crisis in his fortunes.
Would he regard this sudden tempest
as being in any way_ connected with
the mysterious fate which threatened
him? (Over all these things and
many more I pondered as I sat by
the glowing embers until they died
'gradually out, and the chill night air
warped me that it was time to retire,

nationality. Every spar and rope and
.writhing piece of cordage showed up
hard and clear under the livid light
which sputtered and flickered from
the highest portion of the forecastle.
Beyond the doomed ship out of the
great darkness came the long rolling
lines of black waves, never ending,
never tiring, with a petulent tuft of
foam here and there upon their crests.

strength and volume and to hurry on
more impetuously until with a roar
and crash it sprang upon its victim.
.Cringing to the weather shrouds we
could distinctly see ten or a dozen
frightened seamen, who when the
light revealed our presence turned
their white faces toward us and wav-
cd their hands imploringly. The poor
wretches had evidently takes fresh
hope from our presence, though it
vias clear that their own shoats had
either been washed away or so dans-As
