It was unnoticed by the captain—-or if he noted, evidently considered the idio synoraoies of an ardent temperament—as he replied, with satisfaction expressed in his voice. “ True, true! I fear you will find mat ters in somewhat confused’ state, but you can send forward for me at any moment." They passed beyond my hearing, and. I leisurely ascended to the hurricane deck to .enjoy .a cigar for an boor, after which I sought my state room—found, entered, dosed the door—and was on the point of congratulating myself on having secured it, when“iny attention was arrested by the intonation of a musical voice of peculiar : that could never be after wards forgotten too’ heard 'mid the wild - beauty and grandeur of an ocean storm-r-the roar and carnage of battle, or the discordant mariners of an assembled universe ! Spell bound, I listened. “Ob, sir, whoever you are, for the love of Heaven assist me to get out of this room—and at once! Our safety—aye, the lives of every one on board is pending on—l shudder to think—-perhaps the is sue of a few moments!" There was an indescribable earnestness in the utterance that thrilled me to the soul, m think was to ait, and knowing by tbe sound that only a thin board par tition separated me from the fair pleader —for that she was fait 1 would have staked my existence —I immediately drew my heavy “ bowie,’*and first assuring her of ]i speedy deliverance, Commenced cut ting at the .top of one of the boards. Id two minutes it was loose —in four I took it out and stepped through the open ing- / What a picture was revealed! Seated on a low stool, with her auburn ringlets floating over her .shoulder of ala baster. whiteness, was a gloriously beauti ful maiden of seemingly, hot over sixteen summers, and eyes as bjaght as the jewels of a regal diadem. . Ha hands were tied behind, and in her struggles to free herself toe delicate flesh was cruelly lacerated. One stroke of my knife, and the cords were severed in an instant. Observing thepalorof her features; quicker than it takes me to teU it, I had caught her in iny arms and/ borne her jbhrough the cn : ttopco which my good' blade-had effected. To dash open the window, find to lave her ferverlsh brow with water, I was but toe work of a moment. She soon revived, and to an eager os to the .cause of her painful situation, replied, that all ber family had fallen, victims to the cholera, with the cxceptionofher brother; who had recov ered fittin the disease; only to exhibit symp toms of that dark anomaly of the human mind- —insanity. That she had used her utmost influence with her brother to get him to visit .the North, [hoping that the change of climate and ‘travel would com {detely restore him to'his former strong inind an'd health. . That an hour before hi," had eomo tp heir room with a stout cord in his hand, and -said in a playful manner that he must tie her up. Appre hending no evil, she had not objected to what she supposed onej of his vagaries, but when he drew a revolver,,and told her that the . ffrst words she would be her ladt! then she hecome alarmed, and begged to be released.! With a strange calmness and voice !whioh brooked no re ply, he . commanded he|p to silence, and stating that he was an emissary of Satan, duly commissioned to drive the steamer to hell, locked the door and departed. J3he paused and a fkint smile shone through her like [the sonshine in a midsummer rain. . ; A light dawned ttpotl my mind! v Tha engineer was, then, the brother of this an* geuo picture of loveliiiess; and shuddered as 1 renumbered to have no ticed the increasing speed of the boat wad the heavy roar of the ejhaust pipe-—was a madman! /[ No time was to be lost. Hastily telling her the little I knew e|f the lieutenant's movements, I escorted “jheiPthe grand saloon and promisuig tp return the. mo ment 1 found herbrether, I wentinsearoh of the captain. I : ■ Hardly had I- rpapbeff the stairway when my aifehtioniia which rose high and 1 shiiH above imotl ier sounds, shilling ito intonation, [independent in everything.] and seeming the drtead harbinger of com ing doom! I involuntarily raised my hands to my ears, as did others,, to shut o?t the terrific sound. “In God's name what rras that ?” ex claimed an elderly gentleman by'my side, to an officer of the boat, who rushed past us in the direction of the engine room. ' “The Mad BnoineebT Our lives are in fearful peril! hollow if you would know more P 1 A moment later, and we were at the scene of excitement, and beheld a sight to chill the blood of the stoutest heart! With coat off—eyes flashing menace— revolver in hand, commanding the range of the entrance, and the “ register** show ing an amount of steam far beyond the rated capacity of the boilers—rthe engi neer was seated upon the safety valve to keep it down I and giving occasional ut terance to a wild yell, as his weapon threat ened with death the horror-stricken crowd without. • No questions were asked—none were needed—it was evident that the engineer had driven the firemen from their station soon after taking his new position—had tranafered several barrels of oil and rosin to the fire under the boilers, and toe sharp shrill roar of the escape-pipe, as well as the quivering of the steamer from tuck to kelson, as she leaped through the water with toe impetuosity of a mad racer, told each and all toe featf ul nature of the per il which was momentarily increasing. “We shall be blown to eternity! Shoot toe- wild beast down! Our lives are in the balance!” The words were ominously echoed by toe sharp click of a revolver. “ Stay! Hold I On your life,fire not! ’ And the voice rank like a clarion, yet with all the wild music of an aeolian harp, as the crowd parted right and left, and the maiden of my story, the sister , mag nifiedent even in her pallid beauty; rushed to the entrance. “ George! My brother!” “ Virginia! You here ?” \ Tfie fire in the eyes of the madman burned with less flame than before, and hand and weapon fell to his aide. His fierceness was gone in a moment, when her bright orbs gazed searcbingly up on him. Breathlessly we awaited the issue. “ (Jive me the pistoH” It was done. u Now come with me!” “ But my commission from Satan V’ “ Has been fulfilledl” Withher eyes calmly reading his, she took his arm and led him quietly away to his state-room. Captain Reynonlds immediately ordered the dampening of the furnace fires,; and by Urns reducing steam we were soon com paratively safe- I have hub Hide more to add. We reached St. Louis in due time, and without any return of Lieutenant BHton’s malady, and as may be supposed, it need ed' bat little urging for me to accompany them to the house of their nncle, a wealthy retired .merchant of that city, who gave us princely welcome, worthy hie. generous bachelor heart. Under the careful treatment of several of the most skilful physciaus in the city, the lieutenant was soon entirely recovered. Audi?
