CHAPTER XXIII.

Tue breezes declined at sunset ; but it raincd atintervals during the night; and by the morning they were somewhat | chilled. | Death had visited them again during the

night. Prinee was discovered dead and

col'; his wounds were mere scraiches, and |

there s ems to be no doubt that he died by gorging himself with more food than his enfeebled system could possibly digest.

Thus dismally began a day of compara-

tive bedily comfort, but mental distress, especially to Miss Rolleston and Mr. Hezel.

Now that this lady and gentleman were

no lenger goaded to madness by physical ‘suffering, their higher sensibilities resumed their natural force, and the miserable con- tents of the boat shocked them torribly, ‘Two corpses and two wounded men. | “Mr. Hazel, however, socn came to one resolution, and that was to read the funeral service over the dead and commit them to the deep. He declared this intention, and Cooper, who though wounded, and appar- ently sinking, was still skipper of the beat, | acquiesced readily. | Mr. Hazel then tock the dead men’s knives and their money out of their pockets, ,and read the burial service over them; they ,were then committed tothe deep. This !sad ceremony performed, he addressed a ifew words to the eurvivore.

‘My friends, and brothers in affliction, }we ought not to hope too much from | Divine mercy for ourselves, or we should |soon come to firget Divine justice. But | we are not forbidden to hope for others, | Those who are now gone were guilty of a }te rible crime; but then they were tempted ‘more than their flesh could bear, and they received their punishment here on ‘earth; we may, therefore, hope they will , escape punishment hereafter. And it is for

jus to profit by their fate, and to bow to

Heaven's will; even when they crew their |knives, food in plenty was within their ‘reach, and the signs of wind were on the sea, and of rain in the sky. Let us be more patient than they were, and place our trust-——What is that upon the water to A piece of wood floating ?

Welch stood up and looked,

‘Can’t make it out. Steer alongside it, miss, if you please.”

And he crept forward.

Presently he became excited, and directed those in the stern how to steer the boat close to the object without gotig “ever it. He begged them all to be silent. He leaned over the boat’s side as they neared it. He clutched it suddenly with both hands, and flung it into the boat with a shout of triumph, but eank exhausted by the effort.

It was a young turtle; and, being asleep on the water, or inexperienced, had allow- ed them to capture it.

This was indeed a godsend—twelve pounds of succulent meat. I+ was instantly divided, and Mr. Hazel e ntrived, with some difficuity, to beil a portion of it. He

showed a curious and violent antipathy to it, searcely cred-ble under the circumstances, Not so thesailors; they de- voured it raw, what they could get af all. Cooper could only get down a mouthful or two; he had received his death-wound, and was manifestly sinking.

He revived, however, from time to time, and spoke cheerfully, whenever he spoke at all. Welch informed him of every incident that took place, however minute. Then he would nod, or utter a syllable or two.

On being told that they were passing through sea weed, he expres: ed a wish to see some of it, and when he had examined it, he said to Hazel:

‘Keep up your heart, sir; you are not a hundred miles from land.’ He aided gent- ly, after a pause: ‘But I am bound for an- other port.’

About five in the afternoon Welch eame aft, with the tears in his eyes, to say that Sam was just going to slip his cuble, and j had something to say to them.

: They wenttohim directly, and Hazel took his hand, and exhorted him to forgive all his enemies,

‘Hain’t a-got none,’ was the reply.

Hazel then, after a few words of religious exhortation and comfort, asked him if he could do anything for him.

‘Av,’ said Cooper, solemnly. and ink aboard, any of ye?

‘I have a pencil,’ said Helen, earnestly; then, tearfully, ‘Oh, dear, it is to make his will.’

She opened her prayer book, which had two blank Jeaves under each cover.

The dying man saw them, and rose into that remarkable energy which sometimes precedes the departure of the soul.

‘Write!’ said he, in his fall, deep tones.

‘I, Samusi Cooper, able seaman, am go- ing to slip my cable, and sail into the pre- sence of my Maker.’

He waited till this was written.

‘And so | speak the truth.

‘The ship ‘Proserpine’ was destroyed will- ful.

‘The men had more allowance than they signed for.

‘The mate was always plying the captain with liquor.

‘Two days before ever the ship leaked, the mate got the lorg-boat ready.

‘When the ‘Proserpine’ sank, we was on her port-quarter, abcard the cutter, was me and my messmate, Tum Welch.

‘We saw two auger-holes in her stern, about two inches in diameter.

‘Them two holes was made from within, for the splinters showed outside.

She was a god ship, ond she met with no stress of weather to speak of on that voyage.

‘Joe Wylie seuttled her, and destroyed her people.’

‘D—n his eyes!’

‘Got pen

’ Mr. Hagel was shocked at this Guale/

but he knew what sailors are, and how little meaning there is in their set phrases However, as a clergyman, he could net allow these to be Cooper's last words, eo he said earnes‘ly;:

‘Yes, but my poor fellow, yon said you forgave your enemies, Weali need fornive- ness, you know.’

‘That is true, sir.’

‘And you forgive this Wylie then, do you not?

‘Oh Lord yes, said Cooper, faintly, I forgive the lnbber; d--n him.’

Having seid these words with some difficulty, he became lethargic, and so re- mained for two hours. Indeed he spoke but once more, and that wasto Welch; though they were all about him at the time.

‘Messmate,’ said he, ina voice that was now feint and broken, ‘you.and I must sail together on this new voyage. I'm going out of port first; but’ (in a whisper of inconceivable tenderness and simple cunning) Ili lie to outside the harbor uutil you come out, my boy.’ Then he paused a moment. Then he added soitly: ‘For I love you Tom.

These sweet words were the last of that rugged, silent sailor, who never threw a word away, and who:e rough breast inclosed a friencship es of the ancient word, tender, true, and everlasting; that sweetened his life and ennobled his ceath. As he ée- served mourners, 80 be had true ones. His last words went home to the afflicted

gentiemau whose lives he had eaved at cost of his own, wept aloud over their departed friend, But his messmate’s eye was dry. When all was over, he just turned to the mourners, and said gravely:

‘Thank ye, sir; thank ye kindly, ma’am.’ Aud then he covered the boay decently with the spare canvas, aud lay quietly down with his own head pillowed upon these loved remains.

New London Notes. Referring to the New London Notes of last week, a correspondent says the follow- ing medical evidence was given in the last County Court sitting before Judge Alley:

“T define ‘a visit’ not being on the road— it is what you do after you get there’—*‘it is to do whatever is to be done—it may be to draw a tooth—it may be a case of midwifery and stay twenty honrs.” “I would not inclode tix hours in a visit.’’ ‘"fwenty minutes or half an hour is long enough for a consultation.” ‘‘When one deetor sende for ancther he dees it to learn something or share responsibility and has no right to bo paid; but the one sent for should be paid.” ‘‘A doctor has no right to receivé so much for removing a placenta as a case of midwifery, for removing placenta is a minor part of it.” “I never charge more than a doller for it.” ‘Ad- ministering an enema is one of those things that old women do—‘‘me and my grand- mother have been running this business’ — ‘‘my grandmosher forty yesra ago—and myself now” (a voice, you and your grand- mother are ‘alike only she was the best man of the two.) ‘*The services per- formed at the house is the main con- sderation for making a eharge.”” This same medica) witness attempted to administer an enema some years ago with an cunce glass syringe in a case of cbstruction of the boweis. Medical men will be interested in the above evidence from a medico-legal standpoint, I+ puts medical jurisprudence completely in the shade.

Oil on the Troubled Waters.

New Lonpon.

W. W. Alderson writes to the Toronto Globe: ‘‘I tried the experiment about two months ago ou Lake Evie. I semd you the result. The day was strmy and a very heavy sea was running, and although we were running with the rea, with our engine full open, it would break over the stern occasionally; and although there was nu ap- parent danger from the boisterous s«a it oc- curred to me to try theeffecis of oil on the waters. I went to the engine rocm and got an oil can with @ spout on, the same as is on the ordinary half-gailon can used fur coal oil. I went to the stern and commenced to pour a sina)] stream of vil op the water. The seas at once commenced to break, and for two or three hundred feet astern the cff cts cf the oil could be piainly seen. The waves would rush madly on, cajyped by a huge breaker, but immediately the vil was reached the angry breaker would eubeide and the sea would come on as

ever, but perfectly smooth, and, as a matter of course, harmless, The oil used was a machine oil manu-

factured from petroleum. I think any tort of cil would answer, but of course the more oily matter the oil contained the better result would follow. 1 have no doubt at all as to the utility of oil for the purpose in question if it can be applied in the proper place, but as to how it could be applied to a head or beem sea I do not know; but toa sea running after a boat it is very easily applied by simply pour- ing it over the stern.
