I lay very still, for there was no longer ai motive to move. The tempest \ evidently much abated,

though the waves were still leaping madiy against the ship's sides, and sometimes rnaking clean breaches over

her. I wondered why she held so long afloat. But doubtiess she was goirg steadily, if slowly, down. She would sink gradually for awhile, then in the crucial moment, when the flood sheutd have gained a proper hold, she would

descend headlong with a dizzy gurete and swirl as if sucked by the lips of the maelstrom. I could anticipate the motion, and my own sensations in the embrace death. There would be a momertary, involuntary effort to held back, gasping for breath, a brief pain as of one choking, a sudden giddiness fading swiftly into uncon- sciousness, and then absolute peace. I wished that the ordeal were not so long delayed I wished that the hur- ricane might blow anew, and that the billows would rise and overwhelm us at once, so faithless is man in ex- tiemity.

But no fresh hurricane came, only after a great while there was a loud sudden splash by my berth side, fol- lowed by a sharp cry that made me

“If the creatures could only speak to me,” I said to myself. “ar we cculd only exchange sympathies and converse togetner on our fate, thers wculd be some satisfaction evem yet.’’

And as I lay listening to their in-

terchange of seitiments, which to my ear seemed to express disappointment, I thought of the marvellous amounting almost to intuition,

ing ships. An old story cecurred to me. A vessel had feundered in mid- ocean, the crew took to the boats, even like the crew of the Bird of Paradise, and as the last man was stepping off a company of rats appeared, and with- out ceremony or hesitation leaped into the boats with the men.

The ship was going down, and they knew it. My companions were doubt- less endowed with this instinct also. What if the brig were not sinking after eh It secems an absurd thing to take aay comfort from the actions of rats, and yet a wild hope that I might still be saved thrilled through my heart. One hope begets another. I went on to think that, since the brig was settling down so very slowly she might keep afloat till we should b« discovered. A drowning man clutches

at straws, and hope, as the poet says, springs eternal in the human breast. Well for us that it is so.

The thought that I might be rescued kept with me through the long hours of darkness, and when the morning light returned and found me in no worse plight than I had been in at sunset on the previous evening my hope strength-

ened. My physical strength increased with my mental, and when the sun was fully up, the sun I had not ex-

pected to see again, I leaped from my bed to welcome it, almost forgetting my fever. Had I Shakespeare’s gift of expression ten times over I am sure I could not half tell how sweet, how transcendently glorious it was after that night in the tomb to feel the warmth and mystie potency the re- turning light.

In the first great burst of joy I won- dered why I should ever have been de- pressed, so inexplicable do despair and dismal thoughts become to us in mo- ments of supreme exaltation. My heart welled into my eyes in thankful- ness as [ drank in the. full deep draught of happiness, and yet I was so full of wonder that more than once I doubted whether the whole thing were not vision, a trick of the im- agination. It was as if Plato’s fan- tastic dream were realized, and after ages of immurement in a subterranean

Yet the illustration is incomplete, for while Plato’s supposititious character would have been overwhelmed with awe I was filled with gladness. The creature of Plato’s dream would have veiled his face in terror before the sun's majesty. I thrust mine forward in eager and rapturous welcome.

I had risen from the dead. Here was the joyous exuberance of life

again. I lived, and that was enough. Il saw the east kindling with a divine

illumination that was as the light of a resurrection morn. Higher and high- er the blaze of glory rose, till the flood cf life had mounted to the zenith and held undisputed sway. Death hadj{ vanished. The world was born anew, fresh, lusty, jubilant as on that pri- mal morning when the Omnipotent said, ‘“‘ Let there be light.” When the great orb showed the edge of its flam- ing disc, a golden shaft shot straight across the ocean to the derelict brig. It came like a kiss of salutation. a benediction, a promise of life. Then,

as the sun rose slowly, monarch of the

world, and the waves of light, inex- pressibly beautiful ard holy, came rolling toward me, I was ready to cry out in worship. O Gec, how sweet is life after death—paradise after pit!

With my new-found strength I tried the screws which had baffled me in the night. Jov succeeded joy—they vield- ed. and the port opened. Then I thrust out my head well to the shoulders end drew a long, deep breath, which was aS meat to _ the starving and drink to the parched. Again and again I sucked in the licious cordial, feeling its grateful ef- fects in the uttermost fibres of frame. When I had inhaled till I was dizzy, I leaned forward as far as I could and feasted my eyes on the glit- tering water now rolling lazily in big smooth billows thac rocked the brig almost as gently as a mother rocks the craé@le of her firstborn.

I know not whether it was the pecu- arity of my disease or whether the newborn hope gave such fresh vitality to my system as enabled it to throw the fever off, or whether it was owing to an extra dose of quinine I had taken from a box of pills which Mr. Watson had left me. but from that time I be- gan to improve rapidly. True, after the first delirium of joy had passed, there came a short period of depression and relapse, but I strove to keep up my courage, and the feeling of conva- lescence soon returned.
