CHAPTER XIL.

‘HoLp your tongue!’ said Welch, with an oath.

Mr. Hazel looked at Miss Rolleston, and she at him. It was a momentary glance, ,and her eyes sank directly, and filled with patient fears.

For the first few minutes after the ‘Pro- serpine’ went down, the survivors sat’ be- numbed, as if awaiting their turn to be engulfed.

They seemed _ so little, and the ‘Proser- pine’ so big; yet she was swallowed" before their eyes, like a crumb. They lost, for a few moments, all idea of escaping.

But, true it is, that ‘while there’s life there’s hope,’ and as soon as their hearts began to beat again, their eyes roved around the horizon, and their elastic minds re- coiled against despair.

This was rendered easier by the wonder- ful beauty of the weather. There were men there who had got down from a sinking ship, into boats heaving and toss? ing against her side in a gale of wind, and yet been saved; and here all was calm and delightful.

To be sure, in those other shipwrecks land had been near, and their greatest peril was over when once the boats got clear of the distressed ship without capsiz- ing. Here was no immediate peril, but certain death menaced them at an uncertain distance. :

Their situation was briefly this: Shoul it come on to blow a gale, these boats, small and loaded, could not h to live. Therefore, they had two chances for life, and no more; they must either make land, or be picked up at sea, before the weather changed,

But how! The nearest known land was the group of Islands called Juan Fernandez, and they lay somewhere to leeward, but distant at least nine hundred miles; and should they prefer the other chance, then they must beat three hundred riles and more to windward; for Hudson underrating

serpine’ fully that distance out of the track of trade. : esc aie

Now the ocean is a highway—in law; but, in fact, it contains a few highways, and millions of by-ways, and once a cockle shell gets into those by-ways, small indeed is its chance of being seen and picked up by any sea-going vessel.

Wylie, who was leading lowered his il, and hesitated between the two courses we have indicated. How- ever, on the cutter coming up with him, he ordered Cooper to keep her head northeast, and sorun all night. He then made all the sail he could in the same direction, and soon outsailed the cutter, When the sun went down, he was about a mile ahead of her.

Just before sunset, Mr. Hazel made a discovery that annoyed him very much. He found thai Welch had put only one bag of buscuit, a ham, a keg of spirits, and a small barrel of water, on board the cutter.

He remonstrated with him sharply. Welch replied that it was all right; the cutter being small, he had put the rest of her provisions on board the long-boat.

‘On board the long-boat!’ said Hazel, with a look of wonder. ‘You have actmall made our lives depend upon that scoundre Wylie again. You deserve to be flung into the sea. You have no forethought yourself, yet you will not be guided by those who have it.’

Welch hung his head a little at these reproaches. However, he replied, rather rather sullenly, that it was only for one night; they could signal the long-boat in the morning, and get the other bags and the cask out of her. But Mr. Hazel was not to be appeased.

‘The morning! Why, she sails three feet to our two. Howdo you know he won't run away from us? I never expect to get within ten miles of him again. We know him and he knows we know him.’

Cooper got up and patted Mr, Hazel on the shoulder, soothingly.

‘Boat-hook aft,’ said he to Welch.

He then, by an ingenious use of the boat-hook, and some of the spare canvass, contrived to set up a studdlng-sailon the other side of the mast.

Hazel thanked him warmly.

‘But oh, Cooper, Cooper,’ he said, ‘I'd give all I have in the world if that bread and water were on board the cutter instead of the long boat.’

The cutter had now two wings instead of one; the water bubbling loud under her bows marked her increased speed, and all fear of being greatly outsailed by her con- sort began to subside.

A slight sea-fret come on, and obscured | the sea in part; but they had a good lantern and compass, and steered the course exactly all night according to Wylie’s orders, changing the helmsman every four hours.

Mr. Hazel, without a word, put a rug around Miss Rolleston’s shoulders, and another round her feet.

‘Ch, not both, gir, please,” said she.

‘Am I to be disobeyed by everybody?’ said he.

Then she submitted in silence, and in a certain obsequious way that was well cal- culated to disarm anger.

Sooner or later, all slept except the helmsman.

At daybreak, Mr. Hazel was wakened by a loud hail from a man in the bows.

All the sleepers started up.

‘Long boat not in sight!’

It was too true. The ocean was black; not a sail, large or small, in sight.

Many voices spoke at once.

‘He has carried on sail till he capsized her.’

‘He has given us the slip.’

Unwilling to believe so great a calamity,

Agen yevery eye peered and stared all over the

the leak, as is supposed, had run the ‘Pro-|}4.

ia a hu, not aspeck that could be a sail.

The little cutter was alone upon the ocean. Alone, with scarcely two days pro- visions, bine hundred miles from land, and four hundred miles to leeward of the near- est sea-road.

Hazel, seeing his worst forebodings rea- lized, sat down in moody, bitter, and boding silence

Of the other men, some raged and cursed, some wept aloud.

The lady, more patient, put her hands to- gether, and prayed to Him that made the sea and all that therein is. Yet her case was the crueliest. For she was by tiature more timid than the men, yet she must share their desperate peri). And then to be alone with all these men, and one of them had told her he loved her, and hated the man she Was betrothed to! Shame tortured this delicate creature, as well as fear. Happy for her, that of late, and only of late, she hed learned to pray in earnest. ‘Qui precari novit, premi potest, non potest opprimi.’

It was now a race between starvation and drowning, and either way death stared them in the face.

CURRENT NOTES.

Field Marshal Von Moltke is still at his country seat in Silesia, and as his health is excellent he is likely to remain there for some. He takes much pleasure in hunting, and he is very suecessful in the sport,

The oldest university student in Berlin, and probably in the world, is sixty-nine years of age. After passing his examina- tion in theology in his youth he went to South Africa as a missionary, and there married the daughter of a rich Dutch farmer, who inherited her father’s property. Having lost his wife and children several years ago, he returned to Germany, and is now about to graduate in medicine from the University of Berlin. As soon as he has secured his diploma he will return to the Transvaal.

‘One of the commonest ways of account- ing for the- snecessful man’s suceess is to refer to him as a'man who was ‘made by 8 direumstances.’ Unfortunately for this theory, however, it would be pretty safe to assert that the men who have

been made by circumstances have been so made use they were not within the. reach of circumstances

that would amount to much in the way of ‘making’ them, according to the world’s estimate of that word. And, on. the other hand, there are not a few unsuccess-

°e| fal men, who world have been ‘made’ for

life, if the circumstances which favored them could have been changed right around so as to be against them. In all quesffons of successful work, the’ old proverb is not yet out of date, that ‘where there's a will there’s a way,’ and where there’s a won't there’s a—wont,’

‘‘Never do for a child that which he can reasonably do for himself, is an admirable maxim, but one that we as mothers too often fail to adopt as our rule of action, How many scenes wecanall recall of a tretful, exacting child demanding service of a frail mother, which he is much better able to pérform for himself. And by this one mistake alone, thousands of women al- low their children to hang as a weight about their necks, while they might be not only self-helping in a large degree, but save her many steps in the performance of other duties. To be sure, children will be waited upon if they may; that is but natural, and in this way as in other things much depends on the way we begin with them; so that the mother who is waiting till Jennie and Kitty are big girls for them to help her, will probably wait in vain.”

‘‘Kindly feelings, quick sympathies, and gentle manners, joined with true self-res- pect form the basis af that gentlemanliness which is so naturally admired and coveted, Vulgarity which is so much dreaded and so much misunderstood, consists in the ab- sence of one or all of these qualities. It is not vulgar to wear a coarse coat or a cheap gown; but it is essentially so to dress in fine cloth or costly silk at the expense of one’s creditors or one’s peace of mind, It is not vulgar to make a mistake in the laws of eti- quette; but it is so to sneer at one who makes it, to ridicule ignorance, to be rude to the aged, to scorn honest frugality. A true gentleman nay be poor or rich, but he will be neither a miser nor a squanderer; he may he slenderly or thoroughly educa- ted, but will be neither envious nor supercil- ious; he may speak a provincial dialect, but he will not use slang; he may be re- served, but will not be cunning; he may be known or unknown to fame, but will be neither obsequious nor contemptuous.”

“The capacity of yielding to wise res- traint always leads to the capacity for self-restraint. Look at the progress of the youth who has always been endul in every whim and never thwarted in any desire. He grows up selfish and disagree- able, and ihough he may fancy he enjoys liberty, he knows nothiog of it. Fer; although he may bend his will to no one, though he may defy all attempts to influence him, though he may break through the barriers of public opinion and disregard the laws of society he yet bows in servile subjection to his in- clinations, he yields the reins to his pas- sions, he is conquered and ridden over by appetite or ambition, he has no power to guide or to control his lower nature, and thus he becomes a slave in the worst possible sense and to the worst possible master. On che other hand, the loving discipline of home, teaching the youth gradually but steadily to curb his temper and control his desires—the wise restraints of school or college, training him to habits of concentrating and developing mental power—the mild laws of a good government, enforcing equal rights for all —all tend to fit him to understand and to

enjoy real liberty.”
