said ib 'ud he 'ere abont the mid -Ile o' March
an' ere it is. That almanac's aa true as
goepel." " Almanac be blowed," growled
the mato; "any fool of a book couldn't be
far out in ettyin' that there'll be bad weather
in the middle of a month like this. Wot do
you expect to get in the Nowth Sea but
fish ? an' wot do you look for in March but
gales? If I tole -em that Christmas Day

" W'y should they ?" asked the skipper,
dubiouely. I -

" Well, that's as smart, anyway, as sayin'
March an' 'October, wee may expect bad

" But. it'a told for the welfare of the fish-

" Might as well tell a miner 'e'll get coal
out of a piti if 'e'll dig for it," rejoined the
mate "as to tell a smacksman that if 'e
puts to sea in March 'e'll probably come
earwig a lot o' muck. We know it all
along. It' e the sort o' thing that grows up
wi' us."
"But," said the skipper, "don't forget
that although 'e says there'll be gales in the
Nowth Sea ,I 'e says the fishermen won't be
.'urt by 'ern, 'cos they'll stop in 'arbor."
" Bah 1 ;snarled themate. " Is advice
is as rotten,as 'is med'cine, an' just as muoh
quackery. If it wasn't for a lot o' silly,
ignorant men, 'e wouldn't fatten an' pros-

w'en "er prophesies, an' w'on 'e pours out 'is
old stuff into bottles for to be used by them

" But I insisted the skipper, "it'll
do you goo."
The mate began to whistle, and continued
to do so while the skipper read from a
greasy, battered pamphlet, which adver-
tised the virues of a patent medicine, and
incidentally made prophecies as to the
weather for the year of issue.
"Phe meaeh o' March," read the skip.

the mate, c teeing his whistling while ' he

" There lin be a bright mornin', a doubt-

lives will be, lost," •
" W'ere-Pow ?" demanded the mate,

" Doesn't, say," replied the skipper, care-

The mate laughed. " E might as well

mate as he left, se- that be m glib resume
charge of the deck.
He got men at work at the pump, and
slowly the Scarlet Runner was cleared of
the water which had been dashed into her.
Then the mate took the lead in getting
rags of oenvas onto the stumps of the
masts, and under this poor show of canvas
the smack leaped over the seas. Once an
enormous folloWing sea looked as if it would
engulf her. The mate, at the ti ler, saw it
coming and shaded to his comrades to get
below. To have Nit the helm would have
been to go to the bottom bodi y, and he
clenched his teeth, gripped the tiller fierce-
ly, and looked eteadily over the bows. In
his own silent fashion he commended his
spirit to hia`maker and courageouely wait-
ed for the enemy.
The sea roared on, a towering, hungry,
crumbling ridge that rose phan om-like out
of the wintry gloom astern. T e mate kept)
the helm steady ; the stern of the Scarlet
Runner was eilted high in air, a e swerved,
twisted giddily and the tiller to e at hie re-
sisting arms. lele fought for his smack and
his life, and kept the battered raft before
the sea. The wave passed on, and from the
hollow of the Sea the smack ro e up, her
scuppers 'pouting, her deck sw mming and
her helmsman drenched from helad to foot.
"Thought it4 would do for iks 1" gasped
Charlie- as he staggered on teok again.
"By George, old Jim, but you'r a one for
'engin' on to a tiller in a breeze. If I'd 'ad
'old, the sea 'tia a' got us."
"Keep an eye OU the canvas,' was Jim's
only comment, but his pulse b at it -little
more quickly because of his ompanion's
praise. , Men who do heroin acts on North
Sea emack,s do not expect them t be recog-

right in supposing that they wi I pass un-

From that tiine, through the ay and in-
to the dark, wild night, the Sear et .Runner

drink of ice-cold tea and a nibbl at a hard

to keep up the epirits of the crew by refer-

Ho swept the horizon, where from the
driving mists the creamy heads o the seas
rose up and rolled sullenly to he south.
Turning landwards he saw that the cliffs
were covered deep with snow, afli that the
baaeh also at t eir base was white Thelma,
the waves weife breaking heavil , and for
the greater pat of a mile from the land
the water was ike a vast white lain. On
the sea, spray l was whipped up from the
crests of the waves in clouds ; on the land,
the snow was lifted by the wind nd swept
along in cloud e also. Spry, snow and hail
were carried along 'in great mi ed clouds
over the Scarlet Runner and her crew, and
the men on her deck bent their nodies be-
fore the pitiless blast.
eWe're a lot nearer in nor I thought,"
the mate said. "A good thing that mist
lifted, and let us see w'ere e are. I
shouldn't care to go ashore thi mornin'.
Ah 1 we're not the only ones ab ut. Just

The scene had indeed change quickly.
The snow and mist had swept way, and
the sun broke out of the wild 0 ouds, and
for a few eeconds flooded the torn sea.
Then in a clear light they saw.tw or three
bele ted cargo steamers pitching nd rolling
heavily ae they fought their ay slowly
against the gale. A screw tra ler, with
her mizzen set. to steady her, w s holding
her own gallantly about a mile way from
the harbor, and steaminghead to wind and
wave. A little further out wa another
smack, close -reefed, and two more screw
boats came up out of the ciammy mist and
steamed about until they should be able to
enter the harbor.
The sun, as if ashomed to sho its light
upon Buell a tumoil, retired behi g a scud-
ding hank of it snow -filled aloud; sky and
sea were once more mingled in it vast grey
mass, and the hard flakes of st ow wore
driven by the roaring wind agai at the la-

" We're not so easy to/see in weather
