CHAPTER XIX.

We return to the cutter and her living freight.

dealt out a pound of biscnit and an ounce of ham to each person, night and morning, and a pint of witer in courses of the day.

Mr. Hazel declined his share of the ham, and begged Miss Rolleston so earnestly not to touch it that she yielded a silent complianee.

On the fourth day the sailors were all in good spirits, though the provisions were now very low. They even sang and spun yarns. This was partly owing to the beauty of the weather.

On the fifth day Morgan announced that he could only serve one biscuit per day— and this sudden decline caused some dis- satisfaction and alarm.

Next day the water ran so low, that only a teaspoonful was served out night and morning.

There were murmurs and forebodings.

Iu all heavy trials and extremities some man or other reveals great qualities, that were latent in him, aye, hidden from himself. Aud this general observation was verified on the present occasion, 4s it had Been in the Indian mutiny, and many other crisis. Hazal came out.

He encouraged the men, out of his multi- farious stores of learning. He related at length stories of wrecks and sufferings at sea, which, though they had long been in print, were most of them new to these poor fellows. He told them, among the rest. what the men of the ‘‘Bona Dea,” water- logged at sea, had suffered twelve days without any food but a rat and a kitten— yet had all survived. He gave them some details of the ‘Wager,’ the ‘Grosvenor,’ the ‘Corbin,’ and the ‘Medusa;’ but, above all, a most minute account of the ‘Bounty,’ and Bligh’s wonderful voyage in an open boat, short of provisions. He moralized on this, and showed his fellow-sufferers it was discipline aud self-denial from the first that had enabled those hungry specters to sur- vive, and to traverse two thousand eight hundred miles of water, in those very seas, and that in spite of hunger, thirst, disease, and rough weather.

By these means he diverted their minds in come degree from their own calamity, and taught them the lesson they must needed.

The poor fellows listened with more in- terest than you could have thought possible

under the pressure of bodily distress. And Helen Rolleston’s hazel eye dwelt on the narrator with unceasing wonder.

The next morning the wind fell, and by noon the ocean became like glass.

The beautiful, remorseless sky was one vault of purple, with a great flaming jewel in the ceuter, whose vertical rays struck, and parched, and scorched the living suffer- ers, and blistered and baked the boat itself, so that it hurt their hot hands to touch it; the beautiful remorsiess ocean was one sheet of glass, that glared in their bloodshot eyes, and reflected the intolerable heat of heaven upon those poor wretches who were guawed to death with hunger, and their raging thirst was fierce still.

Toward the afternoon of the eighth day McIntosh dipped a vessel in the sea, with the manifest intention of drinking the salt water.

There was a dead silence, and Mr. Hazel kneeled down and prayed aloud and fer- vently; and while he prayed the furious cries subsided for awhile, and | deep groans only weie heard. He prayed for food, for rain, for wind, for patience. The tien were not so far gone but they could just manage to say, ‘Amen.’

He rerefrom his kness, and gathered the pale faces of the men together in one glance, and saw that intense expression of agony which physical pain can mould with men's features; and then he strained his eyes over the brasay horizon, but no cloud, no vail of vapor was visible.

A correspondent sends us the following quotations :—

“Strongdrink and drankenvess are two of the greatest curses which we know of. They unfit a man for the duties of life, and rob him of eternal happiness. I would slmost as soon be a culprit on the gallows, as a rum dealer; and were I a drunkard, another step would make me a fiend incarnate. If we understand the words of Divine inspiration aright, a man cannot be a lover of Christ, and be either a rumseller or a drunkard. They are outside the pale of Christianity se long as they commit the henious crimes of damning others and themeelves.’—Canon Kingsley.

“Oh think of the terrible crime you commit when you rob yourselves of reason, rob your families of the comforts or neces- series of life, and heap upon your- selves the mortal sin of damning your own souls, and leading others astray by this m’serable indulgence in strong drink. Would to God That every man or woman who deals in, or drinks, the poisonous stuff would awake to-morrow morning, deter- mined to have notiing more to do with it.” — Father McGillivray.

‘*[t is to be hoped that a last strong effort will be made to crush the adder. Down with the i legal man destroying dens of this City and Province.”—Tur Examiner.

“Now, tell me what rum will do? It will debase, degrade, imbrute, and damn everything that is noble, bright, glorious and God-like in a human being. There is nothing drink will not do that is vile, des- tardiy, cowardly and hellish.—-Joln B. Gough.

‘Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that .they may follow

drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them.”’— Isaiah.

“IT am sorry to eee 80 many good Irish names on signboardsa as liquor dealers, It is a disgraceful

ocupation, unworthy of an Irishman, and especially an Irish Catholic.”— Bishop Ive- land, R. C.

** Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink, that putteth the bottle to him and maketh him drunken also.”- Habakkuk. ““W han we look at the immense amount cf evil which the manufacture, sale and use of strong drink has accomplish: d, we can only stand aghast at the horrible picture. When we think of the ruin it hes worked, the misery it has spread, the immortal souls it has carried to destruction, we are led again to ask the sulemn and serious question, can we ufford it? and the truth compels one answer only; we cannot afford it.”—Res. John Burwash.

“On every side our eyes are shocked by this fearful monster of drink which seizes hold of its victims amongst both old and young. Amongst all classes this monster exerts a isost baleful influence. Those under the influence of intoxicating drinks appear with heads bowed down, often with frames enfeebled, and the bright light of reason extinguished within then. 1 feel ashamed when I think of the fact when I think thet the Government of this pro- fessedly christian country, granis licenses to men to sell the cause of al! this evil.”’— Cardinal Newman.

** Alcohol is injurious to the human system. In all its various shapes of whiskey, brandy, etc,, it is :.ot in any sense afood. It does not build up the bouy, and furnishes no material of improvement to our muscular force. Men are better with- out it entirely. By avoiding it, they often avoid bodily disease, and the risk they run of becoming slaves to a passion ruinous to both body and soul—the passion for strong drink.’— Dr. McCallum.

‘‘Children become the unfortunate vic- tims of their parents intemperance. Thousands of them are lost through the fault of a drunken father or mother. Everyone present should join in Temper- ance work, and take the pledge. Would to God every father and mother--not alone of my flock, but all others— would renounce strong drink. Would to God that they would not go into the temptation of getting their heads turned and their hearts brutal- ized by drunkenness. Avoid the rumshops as you would the entrance to the infernal regions. You cannot save your souls by the sale or use of such a soul-destroying evil.” —Cardincl Manning.

‘‘T would give little for the christianity of a man ‘who putteth the bottle’ before his neighbor, and takes pay for that which ruins souls. The maa who furnishes the cause of damnation is responsible before God as much as the unfortunate victim of drunkenness, who cannot enter the kiny- dom of heaven. The cold-blooded member of soc e'y who stands aloof from tomperance work, and will claim to be respectable, or a chrisien, is neither the one nor the other. V ewed from the standpoint of true nobility, he is not even @ man,.”—Rev. Morley

He cused them with such Punshon.
