CHAPTER XXXVIII. (Continued. )
|
Such tears as these are seldom without ‘effect on the miud; and Helen now began |to rebel, though faintly, against despair. She had been quite crushed, at tirst, under the material evidence—the boat driven empty by the very wind and waves that had done the cruel deed. But the heart is averse to believe calamity, and especially | bereavement; and very ingenious in argu- ing against that bitterest of all woes. So she now sat down and brooded, and her mind fastened with pathetic ingenuity on every circumstance that could bear a favor- able construction. The mast had not been broken; how, then, had it been lost; The body had not come ashore. He had not had time to get to the wreck before the gale from the north came on at all; and why should a fair wind, though powerful, upset the boat? On these slender things she began to build a superstruction of hope; but soon her heart interrupted the reason- ing. ‘What would he do in my piace? would he sit guessing while hope had a hair to hang by? That thought struck her like a spur; and in a moment she bounded into action, erect, her lips fixed, and her eye on fire, though her cheek was very pale. She went swiftly to Hazel’s store. and searched it, there she found the jib-sail, a boat-hook, some rope, and one little oar, that Hazel was making for her,and not quite completed. The sight of this, his last work overpowered her again; and she sat down and took it on her knees and kissed it, and cried over it. And these tears weakened her for a time. She felt it, and had the resolution to leave the oar behind. A single car was of no use to row with. She rigged the bc a‘-hook asa mast, and fastened the sail to it; and, with this poor equipment, she actually resolved to put out to sea.
The wind still blew smartly, and there was no blue sky visible.
And now she remembered she had eaten nothing; that would not do. Her-strength might failher. She made ready a meal, and ate it almost fiercely, and by a pure effort of resolution, as she was doing all the rest.
By this time it was nearly high tide. She watched the water creeping up. Will it float the boat? It rises over the keel;. two inches, three inches. Five inches water ! Now she pushes with all herstrength. No; the boat has water in it she has forgotten to bail out, She strained every nerve, but could not move it. She stopped to take breath and husband her strength. But when she revewed her efforts the five inches were four, and she had the misery of seeing the water crawl away by degrees, and leave the boat high and dry.
She sighed, heart-broken, awhile ; then went home and prayed.
When she had prayed a long time for strength and wisdom, she lay down for an hour and tried to sleep but failed. Then sha prepared for a more. serious struggle with the many difficulties she had to encounter, Now she thanked God more than ever for the health and rare strength she had acquired in this island; without them she could have done nothing now. She got a clay platter, and bailed the vessel nearly dry. She left a little water for ballast. She fortified herself with food, and put provi- sions and water on board the boat. in imitation of Hazel, she went and got two round logs, and as soon as the tide crawled up to four inches, she lifted the bow a little and got aroller under. Then she went to the boat’s stern, set her teeth, and pushed with a rush of excitement that gave her al- most a man’s strength.
The stubborn boat seemed elastic, and all but moved.. Then instinct taught her where her true strength lay. She got to the stern of the boat, and setting the small of her back under the projecting gunwale, gathered herself together and gave a superb heave, that moved the boat afoot. She followed it up and heaved again with like effect. Then, with a cry of joy, she ran and put down another roller forward. The boat was now on two rollers; one more mag- nificent heave with all her zeal, and strength, and youth, and the boat glided forward. She turned and rushed at it as it went, and the water deepening anda gust catching the sail, it went out to sea, and she had only just time to throw herself
cross the gunwale panting. She was afloat. The wind was S. W., and before she knew where she was the boat headed toward the home reefs, and slipped through the water pretty{fast, considering how small a sail she carried. She rantothe helm. Alas! the rudder was broken off above the water line. The helm was a mockery, and the boat running for the reefs. She slacked the sheet, and the boat lost her way, and be- gan to drift with the tide, which luckily had not yet turned. It carried her in to the shore.
Helen cast her eyes around her for an expedient, and she unshipped one of the transoms, and by trailing over the side, and alternately slacking and hauling the sheet, she contrived to make the boat crawl like a winged bird through the western passage. After that it soon got becalmed under the cliff, and drifted into two feet of water.
Instantly she tied a rope to the mast, got out into the water, and took the rope ashore. She tied it around a heavy barrel she found there, and stood the barrel up, and heaped stones around it and on it, which, unfortunately, was a long job, though ‘she worked with feverish haste; then she went around the point, sometimes wet and sometimes dry, for the little oar she had left behind because it broke her heart to look at it. Away with such weaknees now! With that oar, his last work, she might steer, if she could not row. She got it. She came back to the boat to recommence her voyage.
She found the boat all safe, butin six
inches of water, and the tide going out. So ended her voyage ; four hundred yards at most, and then to wait another twelve hours for the tide.
| It was too cruel; and every hour so precious; for, even if Hazel was alive, be would die of cold and hunger ere she could get to him. She cried like any | woman.
She persisted like a man.
She made several trips, and put away things in the boat that could possibly be of use—abundant provision, and a keg of |water; Hazel’s wooden syade to paddle or Steer with; his basket of tools, etc. Then she snatched some sleep; but it was broken ‘by sad and terrible dreams; then she waited in an agony of impatience tor high | water,
We are not always the best jadges of what is good for us. Probably these delays saved her own life. She went out at last under far more favorable circumstances—a light westerly breeze, and no reefs to pass through. She was, however, severely in- commoded with a ground-swell.

Spring lamb, from Southern New Jersey, can now be ordered in New York, This is known as “hothouse lamb.” The sheep are housed during the winter and fed and cottled, so that in January they bring forth lambkins, not to be petted, as were the parents, but to be slaughtered for the tables of those who can aflord sech untimee ly luxuries. Green peas from Florida, string beans in neat little bundles, and tomatoes, transparent, tart, and luscious, are also displayed. From Bermuda there are new potatoes of good size. Okra comes also from Bermuda. Cauliflower, arti- chants and Brussels sprouts arrive from France. Strawberries from Hoboken hot- houses are to be had for $12 a quart.
The cutting of a diamond, believed to be the largest ever cut in America, has just been completed in Boston, the process having occupied something more than three months. The stone was found in South Africa, and was imported by 9. New York firm. Its weight in the rough was nearly one hundred and twenty-five carats. The gem as perfected is very brilliant and beautiful, though it is not perfect in color, a marked yellowish tinge prevailing. As cut it weighs seventy-seven carats. It is cut in a rounded cushion shape, with fifty- six/facets, its size being nearly a full inch across and a little more than five-eights of aninchin depth. The yellowish tinge disappears in artificial light. The value of the stone, which is about two-thirds as large as the Kohinoor diamond, cannot be stated, as diamonds of unusual size have no absolute value.
Mr. William Main, of Cole’s Harbor, has on exhibition at seventy Barrington
street, Halifax, a peculiar fish, which he found on the outside of Cole Harbor dyke, ‘where it is supposed that the recent heavy gale and tide drove it ashore and killed it. ‘The fish is three feet three inches long, twelve inches in depth and eight inches ‘across, and would weigh about seventy pounds. It hasa blow hole on the top of the head like that of a whale, in front of which rises a single horn, which bends over the fish’s back towards the tail. This horn ‘is about fifteen inches in length. Its tail appears to be formed of twelve bones re- sembling coral, which are connected by & thin web. The color cf this queer fish is dark purple under the gills, while over the body it has hard white spots raised above the surface. Mr. Main took his prize to the museum on Monday, and Dr. Honey- man after examining it said that he was unable to locate the specimen as he had never seen a fish like it and could find nowhere any mention of anything of the sort.
