Well. 1 was working on board a steamer as they used to call the “Equator,” and heavy-laden and with about twenty pas~ sepeors on board, we started down chan- nel with all well, till we got right down off the west coast of Africa, when there came one of the heaviest storms I was ever 1b. Even for the well-found steamer such as they can build to-day, it would have been a hard fight, but with our poor shaky wooden tub, it was a hopeless case from tie first. (
Our skipper made a hard fight of it, though, and tried hard to make for one of the ports; but, bless you, what cana mau do when, after ten days knocking about. the coals run out, and the fires that have been kept going with wood and oil, and everything that can be thrust into the furosces. are drowoed ; when the paddle- wheels are only in the way, every bit of sail set is blown clean out of the bolt ropes, and at last .the ship begins to. drift fist for a joe shore?
{hot was our case, and every hour the sea seemed to get higher, and the wind more fierce, while I heard from more than one man how fast the water was gaiuing below.
My mate and I didn’t want any telling though. We'd been driven up out of the atoke-hole like a pair of drowned rats, and came on deck to find the bulwarks ripped away, and the sea every now and theo leaping aboard, and washing the lumber ubout in all directions.
‘The skipper was behaving very well and he kept us all at the pumps, turn aod turn, in spells, but we might as well try to pump the sea dry,and when, with the water gaining faster, we told him what we thought, he owned it was no use, and we gave lp.
~ We'd all been at it, crew and passen-|
gers, about forty of us altogether, includ- jing the women—five of them they were, and they were all on deck, lashed in a sheltered place, close to the poop. And very pitiful it was to see them fighting hard at first and clinging to the side, but only to grow weaker, halt-drowned as they were; and I saw two sink down at last and hang drooping like from their lashings, dead, for not a soul could do them a turn.
I was holding on by the shrouds when mate got to the skipper’s side, and I saw in his blank, white face what he was telling him. Of course we couldn’t hear his words in such a storm, but we did not want to, for bis lips said plain enough :
She’s sinking
Next moment there was a rush made for the boats, and two of the passengers cut loose a couple of the women; place was made for them before the first boat was too full; she was lowered down, cast off, and a big wave carried her clear of the steamer. I saw ber for a moment on the top of the ridge, and then she plunged down on the other side out of our sight —and that of everybody else; for how long she lived who can say? She was never picked up or heard of again.
Giviog a bit of cheer our chaps turned to the next as was getting in, when there came a wave like « mountain, ripping her from the davits, and, when I shook the water from my eyes there she was hanging on by one end, stove in and the men who had ‘ried to launch her gone, skipper and inate as well,
‘there were only seven of us now, that I could see besides the three women lash- ed to the side, and only one of them was alive; and for a bit no one moved, every- body being stunned like with horror; but there came a lull, and, feeling that the eteamer was sinking under our feet, I shouted out to the boys to come on, and we ru to the last boat, climbed in, and were casting off when 1 happened to ca ch sight of the woman lashed ueder the bul- warks there.
« Hold hard!’ I roars, for I saw one of them wave her hand.
‘‘Come on, you fool!” shouts my mate, * she’s going down !”’
[I pray 1 may never be put to it again like that, with all a mao’s selfish desize for life fighting against him. For a moment L shut my eyes, and they began to lower; but I was obliged to open them agzin, and as | did so, 1 sawa wild scared face, with long, wet hair clinging round it, and a pair of little white hands were stretched out to me us for help.
‘‘ Hold hard!’ [ shouts,
“No, no!’’? roared out two or three, ‘‘there isn’t a moment ;’’ and, as the boat was teing lowered from the davits I made a jump, caught the bulwarks with my haods, and climbed on board, just as she kissed the water, was unhovked, and floated away.
Then, as I crept, hand-over-hand, to the girl’s side, whipped out my knife, and was cutting her loose, while her weak arms clung to me, | felt a horrible feeling of despair come over me, for the boat was leaving us; aod I, what a coward I was at heart, as I had to fight with myself so as not to leave the girl to her fate and leap overboard and swim for my life. I got the better of it though, went down on my knees, 80 as pot to see the boat, and got the poor trembling, clinging creature loose. ( Comelusion in our next.)

The Greatest Medical Discovery since | the Creation of Man, or since the
Commencement of the Christian Era.
There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been | caused by outward application as the present. | It is an undisputed fact that over half of the | entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.
DR. MELYVIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, atid that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinaty kind. Al! other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to =} effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- | ferent: the instant cue is applied the patient will feel its effect.
Physicians in all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but | it is only of very recent date taat its advan- | | tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convineed of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. Mrivin’s CAPSICUM Porovs PLastTerRs, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the nse of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and
ou want a certain cure, ask your druggist for |
JR. MBLVIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will seli hundreda to your friends.
Ask your druggist for Dr. Mrtyrn’s CAPst- cuM Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas.
