‘What do you make of her, Allar- dyce?’’ I asked.

My seconé mate was standing beside me upon the poop, with his short, thick legs a-stretch, for the gale had left & considerable swell behind it, and our two quarter boats nearly touched the water with every roll. He steadied his glass against the mizzen shronds and he looked long and hard at this discon- golate stranger every time she came reeling up onto the crest of a roller and hung balanced fora few seconds before swooping down upon the other side. She lay so low in the water that

I could catch only an occasional glimpse

of a pea gréen lind of bulWark. Sbe wag a brig, snapped short off some ten feet above the deck, and no effort seemed to have been made to cut away the wreckage, which floated, sails and yards, like the broken wing of a wounded gull, upon the water beside her. The foremast was still standing, but the fore topsail was flying loose, and the headsails were streaming out in long white pennons in front of her. Never have I seen a vessel which appeared to have gone through rougher handling.

But we could not be surprised at that, for there had been times during the last three days when it was a ques- tion whether our own bark would ever see land again. For 36 hours we had kept her nose to it, andif the Mary Sinclair had net been as good a sea boat as ever left the Clyde we could not have

| come through, and yet here we were at

the end of it, with the loss only of our gig and of part of the starboard bul- wark, It did not ustonish us, however, when the smother had cleared away to find that others bad been Jess lucky and that this mutilated brig, staggering about upon a blue sea and under a cloudless sky, had been left, like a blinded man after a lightning flash, to tell of the terror which is past.

Allardyce, who was a slow and me- thodical Scotchman, stared long and hard at the little craft while our seamen lined the bulwark orclustered upon the fore shrouds to have a view of the stranger. In latitude 20 degrees and longitude 10 degrees, which was about our bearings, one becomes a little curi- ous as to whom one meets, for one has left the main lines of Atlantic com- merce tothe north. For ten days we had been sailing over a solitary sea.

‘*She’s derelict, I’m thinking,’’ said the second mate.

I head come to the same conclusion, for I could see no sign of life upon her deck, and there was no answer to the friendiy wavings from our seamen. Her crew kad probably deserted her under the impression that she was about te founder.

‘She can’t last long,’’ continued Al- lardyce, in his measured way. ‘‘S may put her nose down and her tail up any minute. The water’s lipping up to

The man who lies at the mercy of an assassin shudders at the thought of death and shivers as he thinks of the hurt of the coid steel as it cuts its 8 way to his heart. The same man, for some unsolved rea- son, will lie at the mercy of that most deadly of assassins, consuinption, and apparently not experi- ence a tremor. Of all the human beings that go down each year to premature graves, one-seventh are the victims of this relentless enemy. : 3

There is a prompt and practically unfail- ing cure for this awful disease within the means of the poorest. It is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It cures of per cent. of all cases of consumption. It cures bronchitis, asthma, laryngitis, linger- ing cough, spitting of blood, weak lungs, throat and nasal troubles and all diseases of the air-passages. It acts directly on the lungs and mucous membranes of the atr- passages through the blood, allaying in- flammation, building up healthy tissues and driving out al) impurities and disease germs. It whets the appetite, makes the digestion perfect and the liver active. It is the great blood-maker and fiesh-builder. 4 sufferer does not have to take these assef- tions on trust. Thousands have testified to their recovery under this marvelous med- icine after all hope was gone. Copies of their letters, with names and addresses, may be had by writing for them. Address World’s Dispensary Medical Association, Buffalo, N. Y.

Do not neglect constipation. Your gen- eral health isatstake Dr. Pierce’s Pleas ant Pellets cure constipation. They nev.‘ fail. They never gripe. One little “* Pel- let’? is a gentle laxative and two a mild cathartic. They cure biliousness and regu- late and invigorate the stomach, liver and bowels. All medicine dealers sell them and have no other pills that are ‘‘just

as good.”’

but her mainmast had been |

——

‘‘What’s her flag?’ I asked.

‘I’m trying to make out. It’s got all twisted and tangled with the halyards. Yes, I’ve got it now, clear enough—it’s the Brazilian flag, but it’s wrong side up. ””

She had hoisted a signal of distress, then, before her people had abandoned her. Perhaps they had only just gone. I took the mate’s glass and looked round over the tumultuous face of the deep blue Atlantic, still veined and starred with white lines and epoutings of foam. But nowhere could I see anything hu- man beyond ourselves.

‘*There may be living men aboard,’’ said I,

‘‘There may be salvage,’’ muttered the second mate.

‘*Then we will ron down upon her lee side, and lie to.”’

We were not more than 100 yards from her when we swung our foreyard aback, and there we were, the bark and the brig, ducking and bowing like two clowns in a dance.

‘‘Drop one of the quarter boats,’’ said I. ‘‘Take four men, Mr. Allardyce, and see what you can learn of her.’’

But just at that moment my first offi- cer, Mr. Armstrong, came en deck, for seven bells had struck, and it was but a few minutes off his watch. It would in- terest me to go myself tothis abandoned vessel and to see what there might be aboard of her. So with a word to Arm- strong I swung myself over the side, slipped down the falls and took my place in the sheets of the boat.

It was but a little distance, but it took some time to traverse, and so heavy was the roll that often when we were in the trough of the seas we could not see @ither the bark which we had left or the brig which we were approaching. The sinking sun did not penetrate down there, and it was cold and dark in the hollows of the waves, but each passing billow heaved us up into the warmth and tbe sunshine once more. At each of

these moments as we hung upon a white- |

capped ridge between the two dark val- leys I caught a glimpse of the long pea green line and the nodding foremast of the brig, and I steered so as to come round by her stern, so that we might determine which was the best way of boarding ber. As we passed her we saw the name Nossa Sehnora da Victoria printed across her dripping counter. ‘*The weather side, sir,’’ said the Fec- ond mate. ‘Stand by with the boat hook, carpenter!’’ An instant jater we had jumped over the bulwarks, which were bardly bigher than our boat, and

found ourselves upon the deck of the abandoned vessel.

Oar first thought was to provide for our own safety in case, as seemed very probable, the wesse] should settle down beneath our feet. With this object two of our men held on tothe painter of the boat and fended her off from the vessel «ide, so that she might be ready in case we had to make a hurried retreat. The carpenter was sent to find out how much water there was and whether it was still gaining, while the other sea- man, Allardyce and myself made a rapid inspection of the vessel and her cargo.

The deck was littered with wreckago and with hencoops, in which the dead birds were washing about. The boats were gone, with the exception of one, the bottom of which had been stove, and it was certain that the crew had abandoned the vessel. The cabin was in a deckhouse, one side of which had been beaten in by a heavy sea. Allar- dyce and I entered it and found the cap- tain’s table as he had left it, his books and papers—-all Spanish or Portuguese —scattered over it, with piles of cig- arette ash everywhere. I looked about for the log, but could not find it.

‘‘As likely as. not he never kept one,’’ said Allardyce. ‘‘Things are pretty slack aboard a South American trader, and they don’t do more than they can help. If there was one, if must have been taken away with him in the boat. ’’

‘‘T should like to take all these books and papers,’ said I. ‘‘Ask the carpen- ter how much time we have.’’

His report was reassuring. The vessel wage full of water, but some of the cargo was buoyant, and there was no imme- diate danger of her sinking. Probably she would never sink, but would drift about as one of those terrible unmarked reefs which have sent so many stout veseels to the bottom.

‘‘In that case there is no danger in your going below, Mr. Allardyce,’’ said I. ‘‘See what you can make of her, and find out how much of her cargo can be saved. I'l] look through these papers while you are gone.’’

The bill of lading and some notes and letters which lay upon the desk suffieed to inform me that the Brazilian brig Nossa Sehnora da Victoria had cleared from Bahia a month before. The name

of the captain was Texeira, but there was no record as to.the number of th

cicw. he was bonnd tor London, and &@ glance at the bills of lacing was suffi- cient to show me that we were not likely to profit much in the way of sal- vage. Her cargo consisted of nuts, gin-

great logs of valuable tropical growths. It was these no doubt which had _pre- vented the ill fated vessel from going

size as to make it impossible for us to extract them. Besides these, there were a few fancy goods, such as a number of

and a hundred cases of preserved fruits, and then, as I turned over the papers,

which arrested my attention. ‘“‘It is requested,’’ said the note,

dian curiosities which came out of the Santarem collection and which are con- signed to Prontfoot & Neuman of Ox- ford street, London, shouid be put in some place where there may be no dan- ger of these very valuable and unique articles being injured or tampered witb. This applies most particularly to the treasure chest of Don Ramirez di Leyra, which must on no account be placed where any one can get at it.’’

The treasure chest cf Don Ramirez! Unique and valuable article! Here was a chance of salvage after all! I had risen to my feet with the paper in my hand when my Scctch mate appeared in the deorwayv

No Cure for... Bright's Disease

In its advanced stages—The Rea- son Why-—Danger Prevented by tho Timely Use of Dr. A. W. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills.

To understand Bright s Disease 1s to know that in its advanwed stages it is past the reach of human aid. The cells of the kidneys undergo a wasting change, which leaves them dead so far as performing their functions is concerned. Just think of having the kidneys dead. ‘Think of the poisons left ia the system | when these organs could no longer perform their cluties as filters of the blood.

It would be difficult to conceive of anything more dreadful, and yet this is the goal to which i every case of neglected kidney disease mustlead.

Wher the back aches, when urinating is | difficult or too frequent, when there are de- posits in the urine after standing for 24 hours, there is no time to lose in procuring Dr. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills.

It is not claimed that they will cure Bright's Disease in its last stages. They are an abso- | Jute cure for kidney disease, and so long as the kidneys are not entirely wasted away they will give new strength and vigor and enable them to resume their duties of filtering the blocd.

Dr. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills will stop backache and headache in short order by re- moving the cause, and will positively prevent Bright's Disease. One pill a dose, 25c. a box. At all dealers, or Ecdmanson, Bctes & Ca, Toronto.
