‘Lhe night was fearfully tempestuous, and pitchy dark; the rain swept down in tor- reats, and our poor Esculapius drew a hard | breath between his teeth, and shuddered to his tocs, and wrapped in a muffler and dread-nought coat, he found himself in the open air, hurrying forward, led by a strange | man, and totally unable to see anything but the false glare of light which remained at | the back of his eyes after their long gaze at the dining-hal!l fire.

fury.

Farther still, and just beyond the curl of he expired early—his apparent sufferings the shoaling water, it was evident a vessel

had sunk in the night, for there were two masts, by this time perfectly discernible, standing up almost perpendicularly immers- ed about as far as the tops, as they are technically termed ; that is the broad frame- work which affords footing at the juncture of the mast and top-mast. Of these, the

foretops, being lower than the other, were)

rather below the level of the sea, but the maintops were above it, and on these the

, Outlines of four buman figures could be seen

with tolerable distinctness by a spectator on

'the beach, standing out against the moving

| water as to be partly immersed by every | Wave as it swept past.

As soon as ever this had been ascertained by those on land, there had been a ery fora boat. The three eailors already mentioned were the first to volunteer their services ; and it was with a view to completing their crew that two of them had gone to Lynch's while the third went northward

close to which their yaw! lay bigh and dry. The greater part of the gazers from the top

of the cliff had followed in the direction of the projected lauach ; but the officer of the |

coast-guard, an experienced seaman, re- mained with his men at their original station, occasionally raising his glass to his eye, and taking a narrow survey of the masts and those clinging to them; but when spoken to bout the boat, and the chance of getting them off, he only shook his head, look- ing up sagaciously tc windward, without saying a word.

He had just shut up his glass, and slung it Once more in its leatbern case behind him, when the unhappy creature he had assisted to save the night before came running wildly up, her hair floating behind her, her face ashy pale, aud all the inten:eness of fearful enquiry in its expression. Breathless and agitated, she could not at first say a word, but looked frenziedly back and forward along the horizon, the rapidity of her gaze pre- venting her from catching the object she was in search of, At last she gained utterance and cried, * Ob, sir ! where are they ?—where are they ?

ture; who had returned to the cliff and now

watched them drifting successively in, was still satisfied that each,though well known,was not that of her beloved. The day, as it ad- vanced, enabled her distinctly to mark his efforts to preserve himself aud his companions _~—his lashing the boy to the mast by a piece | of loose rope, suspended to which, bowever,

Much of this she ‘could see herself from the station she bad | /résumed at the lime-kiln, and much of it she | gained by rep rt from the officer, whose glass seemed the interpreter of her destinies.

She had not long been placed thus, when a dog, of the French poodle breed, was wre struggling up the steep cliff, occasionally stopping to shake the water from its long | curly hair ; and as soon as it reached the top, |

it ran directly to where the womaa was sit- | ting, aud began to jump upon her with the |

most extravagant marks of delight. She| sprung up, seized the little animal in her |

arms, and covered it with capesses and at) length burst into an agony of tears, It had evidently called her mistress, and bad | probabiy floated ashore on some piece of the |

wreck without being observed by the per. sons on shore, and now rejoiced one of its | owuers with its safety. But the foree of instinet told the animal that in its rejoicing | it had a duty to perform; and no sooner did its mistress put it down from her arms, than it began to jump round her, to pul] at! ber dress, to run to the brink of the cliff and | look out to sea, and then run baek with a! greater show of eagerness, and go through | the same energetic dumb-show again.

She had watched the struggles and agony | /of the shipwrecked man himself, and retain- | ed some possession of herself in the midst of | ber despair ; but this was too much for her. | She rushed frantically towards the precipi-

The interest of the assemblage was at the bighest pitch. Loud acclamations, oaths, cheers, were to be heard on all sides—the excitement was intense. Even the chief officer was restless, and the good owner of house paced up and down in a frenzy between nervousness for his sons’ peril and pride at their heroism,

They are within a boat's iength. The crowd, from the extreme of clamor and con-

fusion, become gradually stiller and more
