| (From Chamber's Journal.)

the bottom of the boat looked towards poor Tom, who lay asleep; Miss Mary was on her knees, beside her fainting sister; and I felt that the moment had come; when, with a prayer for merey— one learned years upon years before, and which now came rushing to my lips—I raised the pole. The ship would pass with- in twenty yards of us, I knew; but it was almost dark already, and as she came dash- ing down, the breeze seemed to freshen as if by magic; and ag the old Star swept by, my arm sank by my side, and I fell on my knees ip the boat muttering: ‘ Saved, saved!” for the ship was far astern, and | knew that before she could bring to under their clumsy management, it would be night, for even now it was dark.

But I wasn’t long so, for I soon came to; and as i did so, and the horrible, deathly sick feeling went off, I felt the blood come up in my face with a rush, as a regular wild thrill ran through me, and I elosed my eyes, and lay quite still, as if I dare not move; tor there was that face bending over we, and

| Mary sobbed quite aloud, and said she was guing to lose a dear, true friend.

‘No,’ said Lom, smiling sadly; ‘only a poor sailor, Miss, as tried to do his duty by you, and broke down; but Jack here wiil take my watch for me; aud God bless you all, for | don’t think I shall see the san go down again.’

‘Come, Tom,’ I says, ‘ try and look up, mate; buat it was done in a cheerless way, and the poor fellow only smiled sadly.

‘It was that chap Ilicks as did for me, mate,’ he said; and then he looked hard at me, and we understood one another, for be looked as he did that morning when he told me to wash the blood off my face ; and sowe- how or another I could not help feeling glad | had made an end of the villain who gave my poor mate his death-biow.

And poor Tom lay half-sleeping. half- waking, all that calm night, and | watched by him till just as the sun was beginning to rise, when he seemed to quite wake up, and stared out towards the eust, as il he bad been called.

‘What is it, mate? I says, lifting his head on my arm, and taking his hand.

‘Tell’em I'm ordered aloft, Jack,’ he whispered ; and then, with a quite smile upon his face, my poor mate closed his eyes, and dropped off into his long sleep; and there with the sun shining upon his face, I didn't know it, he went off so quietly, wll I heard the young ladies sobbing behind me, when I gently laid his head down, and sat at his side with my face in my hande tor some time, for Tom Black and d were old shipmates

It was a sad blow that to fall upon our little ship's company; bat I did all as J | knew my poor mate would have liked, and and as | knew he would baye dome by me. 1 lashed him up in one of the sheete, with a }shot at his feet—one that had been in the ‘boat for ballast—and at sundown, Mise |_Mary said some prayers over the poor fel-
