James Cayley was a general favorite. His good and gentle mother, to whom he was somewhat numerous family, had wi atched | over him in his earliest years, with an! excess of ma‘ernal anxiety ; above every- thing, she had done ali that lay in her power to instil into his mind a hatred of drinking and drunkenness. This was not difficult, for, sad to say, his father, a clever and experienced sailor, was a hopeless in- ebriate and fast sinking to destruction. The youth went to the best school of the provincial town in which he lived and, after passing through a most successful career, carrying off every prize, he was appointed to the position of mate on board
one ui
Jfather’s vessels, of which he was himself} the captain. His er at abity was univer- sally recognized, he loved the sea and a
brilliant future seeimed to await him. When he first stepped on the deck of his ship, none was gayer, none was prouder than he, if we except his mother, to whose heart he had hitherto brought nothing bat
joey and happiness. His height exceeded six feet, his body was well proportioned,
his features handsome and his step was firmness itself; briefly, he was a typical British seaman. Before his ship sailed (she was bound for the West Indies) his mother, on taking leave of ber heart's treasure, laid her hand upon his broad and matly shoulder, and, looking into his face, said, ** Remember, my boy, that you have hitherto been «a stranger to the taste of in- t.xicating drink, my wish is that you may eyer so remain. You will meet with many temptations ; but you need not fall. Be careful of your father, obey and respect him, and may Ged bless you!” James said nothing ; his whole heart went out to his mother, vais his eyes spoke eloquently of a fixed determinition to be true to her parting wishes, and true to his manhood. The father’s dissolute and dissipated life
and his mother’s silent sorrow, which had extended . ver many years, hadf reated such a profound horror of drunkenness within the breast of the young sailor that his whole being revolted at the mere mention of any sicoholic beverage. He had been a witness
father’s physical frame and also of the i distortions of his manhood that had ensued therefrom, and which were daily growing more marked and permanent ; he had even known of the cruel blow dealt by his father in a drunken frenzy that had felled his mother to the earth, hence there seemed but little chance of his ever falling into the same snare, or sinking to similar degrad- ation.
The first and many subsequent voyages were accomplished safely and James Cay- ley’s prospects brightened with each. He had been true to his resolves, but fre- quently in the face of overwhelming odds. His father continued his Zevil habits and
Dione and anxiously was he sought and patiently waited for by his
son when, the ship being in_ port, he was free to indulge in the follies and wild excuses of intemperance and _pro- fligacy. James watched over his father with the most affectionate patience, his only reward being a cuff or even a kick from his il-matured parent, whose character strong drink had so strangely deformed; yet, although he was a man, it is known that he never retaliated, but bore his hard lot with meekness and patience. Night after night did he follow his father about in order to be at hand to resene him from any danger into which his madness might plunge him, always seeing him on board and in his berth when drunk, and when sober offering him kind but respectful ad- vice.
Thus afew years passed away. During|5 this time James had acquired an accurate and practical knowledge of seamanship, and was, therefore, now quite capable of discharging the more exacting and exten- sive duties of a superior position. flis character was unblemished, and he was held in high estimation by his subordin- ates. He wished for another position, but he was unwilling to leave his father wl.ose only support he was.
Ii.
In the month of October, 1871, Captain Cayley’s vessel, the May Queen, was ou her way from Barbadves to Halifax, Nova Scotia, with a cargo of sugar and molasses, Owing to a succession of calms and head- winds the voyage had been unusually pro- tracted. The captain was nearly always intoxicated, and although, therefore, un- fitto command the ship, he doggedly re- fused to yield to his son. Having at length arrived within a few leagues of the southern coast of Nova Scotia, aud perceiving that the barometer was gradually falling, James Cayley determined, at all hazards, to take entire charge of the ship himself. This he did, but not without resistance on the part of his stupefied and besotted father. To make matters worse, they had been for many days enveloped inthe chilling shroud of a dense fog which manifested no signs of lifting. The ship’s only resources, there- fore, were the log and lead. On the even- ing of the last day of the month the captain appeared to be perfectly sober and self- possessed; and, although a stiff easterly breeze was blowing, with a heavy rol] from the Atlantic, the mate, worn out with an unbroken vigil of seventy-two hours, went below and svon fell asleep. About the space of halfan hour afterwards, his father,
leaving the belm to a seaman, repaired to the cabin where he drank deeply of rum surreptitiously procured in the West Indies.
Returning, he took the helm aud dismissed the seaman, who went forward. The good

Sud- idenly a piercing shriek from the lips of the seaman on the look-out, **My God, we are ‘amongst the breakers !” rent the air, and in a moment of time ail hands, including the ted were on deck. James's first impulse iwas to run to the wheel, where, to his hor- yor, he found bis father helplessly drunk.

‘*We are gone, men! All hands save themselves, and may God help us!” fell from the lips of the brave mate, who, with a noble self-forgetfulness, was making hervic efforts to save his father. Waves were breaking over the doomed ship, the wind screamed through the rigging, and every man was washed overboard. Their cries were heard, but only fora moment,
amid the rush and fury of seething waters |

James Cayley and his father went overboard together, and for a time, owing to the mate’s superhuman strength, he kept afloat, and it seemed as though he would succeed in bringing him to land. But a cruel wave, that came rush- iug on in its wild career, savagely separated

They saved nothing from the wreck ; but, gazing sor- rowfully upon the scene of the dire disaster, which was whoily and directly the result of drunkenness, they turned away. walking for a considerable distance along the beach, they at length reached an open- ing in the woods wherein they deseried a settlement, which proved to be the abode of fishermen.

taking ‘*‘ more than was good for we say. He was rising rapidly in his pro fession, and having served for two years on board the Ocean Foam, to the proud East Indiaman ship Gem of the Sea as second in command, with an
position on the retirement ‘of the captain. His success dazzled him, and his wine grew daily stronger. He proved him- self again fully equal to the respoasibilities of his new position, and the genial old captain considered him the ablest lieuten- ant he had ever possessed, Thus, good graces of everybody, and with the eye | of fortune smiling upon him, did Jatnes Cayley continue for atime. With the full- est confidence in his skill and capacity as |
subordinates, the captain felt quite satistied | that he ought to resign at an early date in, favor of his chief officer who, as he thou; ght, deserved immediate promotion. After consultation with the ship’s owners it was determined that, at the end of another voyage, he should be advanced to the chief position on board the Gem of the Sea. Congratulations poured in upon the popular officer, and the veyage, which was to be the last for him as a subordinate, was begun, The ship was bound to China for a cargo of tea. James Cayley drank freely throughout the voyage, and, although he never “neglected his duty, he was intoxi- cated on more than one went well, however, and, in the space ot a month, the ship beimg on her voyage home, the captain expected tv reach Lon- don.

but despairing of the future, the course of James Cayley’s life trom this point to its end, which came not long afterwards, was all in a downward direction. He repented and reformed a hundred times; and there is no doubt but that the wretched man longed to recover what he had lost of his manhood and nobil- ity of character, but the power to do so seemed to be his no longer.
