     It blew a perfect hurricane. We had 
     
     seen it coming, and were ready with three 
     
     hawsers out ahead, and all things 
     
    

    
     snug on boar . . 
     
     I Still it came on lieiivier and heavier, and 
     
     the ice began- to drive iiioi-e wildly than I 
     
     thought I had ever seen it. I had just 
     
     turned in to warm and dry-inysi-ll‘ during 
     
     the momentary hill, and was stretching my- 
     
     Ielf out in my bank, when Ilieard the 
     
     sharp twanging snap of a cord. Our six- 
     
     inch liaiwsei-s had parted, iind \ve were

     its slope, and to hold on to it by a whale- 
     
     line. It was an anxious’nioinent. Our noble 
     
     tow-horse, whiter than the pale horse that 
     
     seemed to be pursuing us, hauled us brave- 
     
     ly on; the spray dashing over his windward 
     
     thinks, and his foreliead ploughing up the 
     
     lesser ice as if in scorn. The bei-gs eti- 
     
     croached upon us as we advanced: our 
     
     channel narrowcil to a width of about forty 
     
     lest: we braced the yards to keep clear of

     Ionic providential nook from the storm. 
     
     But as we neared them, we perceived that 
     
     they were at some distance from the lloe-

     of open water. ur hopes rose, as the
