CHAPTER XIII. Tue long boat was, at this moment hundred miles windward of the cutter. The fact is, that Wylie, the evening before, had been secretly perplexed as to

the best course. He had decided to ran for the islanc; but he was not easy under

"a

his own decision, and at night he got more |

“@nd more discontented with it. Finally, at nive o’clock p. m., he suddenly gave the order to luff, and tack, and by daybreak fe was very near the place where the

€ Pees went down—whereas the cut- ,

ter; having run before the wind all night, | was, at least, a hundred miles to leeward of him.

Not to deceive the reader, or let him, for -@moment, think we do business in mon- sters, we will weigh this act of Wylie’s justly. | It was just a piece of iron egotism. He preferred for himself, the chance of being

picked up by a vesse!.

He thought it was.

friendly hands, and friendly faces shone down at them; eager grasps seized each as he went up the ship’s side, and so, in a very short time, they sent the woman up, and the rest being al! sailors, and clever as cats, they were safe on board the whaling- brig ‘Maria,’ Captain S’ocum, of Nantucket, U. 8.

Their log, compass, and instruments were also saved,

The boat was cast adrift, and was scon after scen bottom up on the crest of a wave.

The good Samaritan in command of the ‘Maria’ supplied them with dry clothes out of the ship’s stores, good food, and medical attendance, which was much needed, their legs and feet being in a deplorable con- dition, and their own surgeon crippled.

can skipper to give Cape Horn a wide berth,

,and the ‘‘Maria” soon found herself three ‘degrees south of that perilous coast. she encountered field-ice. In this laby- rinth they dodged and worried for eighteen days, until a sudden chop in the wind gave the captain a chance, of which he promptly availed himself; and in forty hours. they sighted Terra del Fuego.

There,

result, When a short time avo the bears on the stock exchange became ravenous on the subject of Canadian securities of all kinds, and seized the embarrassment arising from the snepension of the Exchange Bank, and the difliculties connected with the cotton trade, to help them in their rade, his prompt action, even at the risk of abuse which the venom of dirappointed gamblers was ceriain to prevoke, stopped the panicky feeling and restored confidence. His speeches in defence of Canada have pro- +uced most important results, compelling the attention and respect even of those doctrinaries with whom the principle of free trade is an idol. He bas, in a word, made his presence and influence felt, and has done much to add to the prestige of Canada in the Mother Country.

His latest achievement is in some resy eeta as important, if not mere importent, then any of the others. He has succeeded in having Canada admitted as one of the bigh contracting parties at the International Conference held recentiy at Paris for the protection of cables. As lad been usual, it was decided that they weulea have a separate protocol for the British Colonies. Against this Sir Charles protested. His

_tions, beating southward right in the wind’s eye.

Five days they beat to windward, and “never saw a sail. Then it fell a dead calm; and so remained for three days more,

The men began—to suffer greatly from cramps, vowing ‘to their number and confined positions. During the calm they rowed all day, and with this and a light westerly breeze that sprung up,they got into the sea-road again; but having new sailed three hundred and fifty miles to the ' southward, they found a great change in the _temperature; the nights were so cold that they were fain to huddle together, to keep a

little warmth in their bedies. | On the fifteenth day of their voyage it began to rain and blow, and then they were /never a whole minute out of peril. Hand | forever on the sheet, eye on the waves, to ease her at the right moment; and with all this care, the spray eternally flying half-way Over her, and the men bailing night and day _ with their very hats, or she could not have | lived an hour, At last, when they were almost dead with | wet, cold, fatigue,and danger, a vessel came in sight, and crept slowly up, about two miles té windward of the distressed boat. | With the heave of the waters they could see little more than her sails; but they ran up a bright bandanna handkerchief to their mast- ‘head; and the ship made them out. She hoisted Dutch colors, and-—continued her course.

Then the poor abandoned creatures wept,

and raved; and cursed, in their frenzy, glar- ing after that cruel, shameless man, who could do such an act, yet hoist-a color, and show of what nation he was the native—and the disgrace,

Bat one of them said not a word. This was Wylie. He sat shivering, and remem- bered how he had abandoned the cutter, and all on board. Loud sighs broke from his laboring breast, but not a word. Yet

|

» one werd was ever present to his mind; and

seemed written on fire on the night of clouds, and howled in his ears by the wind — Retribution.

And now came a dirty night—to men on ships; a fearful night to men in boats. The sky black, the sea on fire with crested billows, that broke over them every minute; their light was washed out; their provi- sions drenched and spoiled; bail as they would the boat was always filling. Up to their knees in water; cold as ice, blinded with spray, deafened with roaring billows, they tossed and tumbled in‘a fiery, foaming hell of waters, and still, though despairing, clung to their lives, and bailed with their hats unceasingly.

Day broke, and the first sight it re- vealed tothem wasa brig to windward staggering along, and pitching under elose- reefed topsails.

They started up and waved their hats, and cried aloud. But the wind carried their voices to leeward, and the brig stag- gered on.

They ran up their little signal of distress; but still the ship staggered on.

Then the miserable men shook hands all round, and gave themselves up for lost. But at this moment the brig hoisted a vivid flag all stars and stripes, and altered her course a point or two.

Sho crossed the boat's track a mile ahead, and her people looked over the bulwerks and waved their hats to encourage those tossed and desperate men.

Having thus given them the weather guage, the brig hove to for them.

They ran down to her, and crept under

men if they would take service with the Yankee captain. All but three consented to do so; these three had families in Eng- land, and refused. The mate gave the others a release, and an order on Wardlaw & Son, for their full wages for the voyage; and they signed articles with Captain Slocum and entered the American Mercan- tile Navy.

Two days after this they sighted the high lands at the mouth of the Rio de la Plata, at ten pm.. and lay to for a pilot. After three hours’ delay they were boarded by a pilot-boat, and then began to creep into the port. The night was very dark anda thin white fog lay on the water.

Wylie was sitting on the taffrail, and conversing with Slocum, when the lookout forward sung out :

‘Sail ho !

Another voice almost simultaneously yelled out of the fog:

‘Port your helm!’

Suddenly out of the mist, and close) aboard the ‘Mavia,’ appeared the hull and. canvas of a large ship. The brig was cross- ing her course, and her great bowsprit barely missed the brig’s mainsail. It stood for a moment over Wylie’s head. He looked up, and there was the figure head of the ship looming almcst within his reach. It was a colossal green women; one arm extended grasped a golden harp, the other was preased to her head in the attitude of holding back her wild and flowing hair. The face seemed to glare down upon the twomen. In another moment the monster, gliding on, just missing the brig, which was lost in the fog.

‘That was a narrow squeak,’ said Slocum.

Wylie made no answer, but looked into the darkness after the vessel.

He had reeognized her figure-head.

It was the ‘Shannon!’

The High Commissioner.

(Montreal Gazette.)

It is announced that Sir Charles Tupper is about to leave England, with the inten- tion of being present at the approaching meeting of Parliament. He will be heartily welcomed, not only for the service he will render in the House of Commons, but on account of the important services he has frendered when in England, as High Com- missioner for the Dominion. We doubt if any public man has ever, within the period of a few months, had opportunity of render- ing more important service to his country, and has used the opportunity with greater ability. When the Minister of Railways was named to the position which he so ably fills, as Canadian representative in Great Britain, everyone recognized the fitness of the appointment. Possessed of wonderful abilities, of remarkable energy, and of great experience, acquired during a quarter of a century of public life, he was certain to make his influence, and through him the influence of the Dominion, felt in any circle in which he might be called upon to move. He has had some oppor- tunities of an important character. His action when the cattle trade of Canada was threatened through the extra-official zeal of an Imperial officer in Liverpool, was an evidence of his eminent qualifications for the important position he fills. Had Canada been represented by a less able, and above all by a less energetic minisier, the chances are that the country would

they.wayld ba.sntitiedan. seaching- Liver-;in a manner thetrentitles him to the warm- pool. ylie went forward and asked the , est gratitude and most hearty recognition of

his fellow-subjects in Cenada of all parties. His work as High Commissioner has been altogether removed from party conflicts. If his party derive a reflected advantage from it, that is simply the accident of the position. In itself it is Canadian work, no party work, and in the performance of it he should have been saved from the wretched and unpatriotic abuse to which he has been subjected. Happily that abuse has not injured him, while his labors on behalf of Canada have greatly strengihened him. He comes back, we are glad to learn, much improved in health, and with a record, as the result of his six months’ labor, of which any public man might well be proud.

Practical Education

‘Business colleges” are springing up in every town—why! Because business has adopted new methods, and the school has refused to recognize them. These schools teach their pupils the operations actually used in the counting-room—the common school does not—hence they have cut them- selves off, and created separate institutions.

The great need of ovr educational system to-day is simplification. We have made many improvements, or at least additions, but have withdrawn nothing to make room for them. We have added drawing and music, and we have done well; we have added the elements of science in s me places, which was well; but where have we made room for them in the course already ful!? Nowhere; and the courses have, therefore, become so overloaded that no teacher cun perform his dusies to his own or the public satisfaction. Constant addition of new matter; no reduction anywhere; results judged by misleading percentages—and yet people complain of cram! What else can we do! Now, teachers who feel their re- sponsibility should advise their Boards of Education that all this must be changed— not by reducing the quality, but improving it by the exclusion of what is extraneous and unnecessary. We are now teaching too much and too poorly, The main thing the young child needs is to learn to read, to write, and tu count; and by teaching these slowly and surely, we best secure healthy meutal growth. We give children so much to do that they cannot either read or write well after two years at school, which is quite time enough if properly taught. We want to hear less of the teacher in school, and more of the pupil. In a properly organized school, much the larger part of the work is done by the pupil; but we have all seen many places where it is otherwise. Three-fourths of our pupils wiil go iuto the ranks of the world’s workers, and we must give them what they need.—James McAllister, Sppt. of Schools, Phila.
