WOLFGANG; OK, THE WRECKER'S BEICOS. CHAPTER L BEFORE THE OALE. The good abip PATHFINDER, of New York, and bound to Copenhagen, had entered the North Sea, having left the Straits of Dover two days behind. The commander of the ebip.was a young man not over eight-aud-tweuty, and his name was MAURICE LESTER. He stood by the taff ratl, gaii-g off upon the horizon to the east ward, ever and anon raising his band above his head to feel i f there was any wind stirring, and ss often casting his eye aloft to sec how the canvas hung. As he stooc thus his mate approached, and spoke to him : "What d'ye think of this, Capt'n?" "1 tbiuk we're in for a storm, sir," the man tor replied. "And 1 tel! you what it is, Grif fin,'' ha added, after sweeping the horizon again with his eye, ' when it comes it will be an earnest one. None of your broad Ocean puffs, h nothing hut water to hatch wind from; but we'll have it right fresh from ecrne of those places where they know how to make things blow." "Then you think we'll have a hard one?" said Griffin. "Aye," answered tie captain, with altuo.-. a ehu ider, "I feel it tn my bones." in the meantime, Captain Lester had been watching the sea and sky as before, and he fancied that the signs of the storm were grow in? more and more palpable every moment.— The sun was going dowa in a thick hank, giv ing to the whole western horizon a dull, purp lish red, bloody hue, with here and there spots of a darker tinge, like openings, through the fi.-ry cloud, looking upon a fearful blackness bchiud. "Do you see how strangely it look 9 off there?" said the Captain, raising bis finger towards the point where the sun wa9 setting. "Aye," returned Griffin, "I have beeD watching those dark places." And others noticed the same thing, and spoke of it, too. Seven o'clock came ' and wcDt. Eight o'- clock citao, and the first watch was set. "Don't go below," said tho Captain, as the 10'ti of ihe last dog-watch left their stations. "This calm ciu t last a great while. You had better taiteu dnwa the batches now, while there is nothing else to do; for I am sure thero will be need ot having thsui close before the eoruing ef another day." Th men had hid no ;noughts of going bc iw, fc< - they could see and fed; and they weie not wholly igDoraut of what was coming; so they went at work and secured the batches wila thick tarpaulins; and when this was (lone IUOSO who had no particular station collected i.oant the wheel. Another hour passed away —aud another. Ten o'clock came, and still not a breath. The ship lay upou the water Ire a coa l thing, with the ropes, and blocks, aud sails, rattl'mg and flapping to and fro by the lazy swells of the sea. "What datt it mean?" cried Griffin, as the boy struck five beils. "Dark "' said the captain, almost instantly, "I guess you'll soon see. Did you feci that? —h'—and that?" It was a puff of wind, and a light flying of spray; or, perhaps it was a spit of rain. At an events, the puff wis felt; and the drops of w iter tell upon other cheeks than Maurice Lester's; and other eors than his heard the itn'l moaning which came over the dark waters. 3j othei ears heard the roar which followed, and other bodies quivere I beuouth the shock of the storui-giant wiien he catue iu his might. Aye —the storm had come. It came with wind and rain, and with an Hugry lieivin? of the sea. It cuaie wi:h a darkness like Erebus, aud with the voice of thunder. The gale con tinued to increase in fury as too long ni-nt passed uwav. When the morning came the scene wa* one of awful grandeur. Tho wind was howling with terrific fury; -and the broad Ma was lashed into huge mountains, thsf foam ed, an i tumbled, and leaped along over the bosom of the deep, seeming every moment ready to whelm aa l engulf the frail bark that struggled withi the demon grasp. Vt ucr. Captain Lester had observed the *igus of ihe morning, he feared that the storm Wiiilu continue through iho day, and so he toid his men. The sky wore a hue of horror, and raiu was now driving down, mingling with the lashiDg sea. At neon it was still worse. At length night shut iu again, aud not a sign yet of the passing away of the storm! iue frightful howling of *Le tempest seemed .rather to have increased than aba'od. The men gathered upon the quarter deck, chairing for suppart to the racks and rails—for the life fines swayed so much tint they were afraid of them —gnhere I as r.ecr to the light of the binnacle lamp as ihey eould, as though even dVon suo.i 1 cubic bourns they might fiud some romfort. ifut ait all were there. No—not a". Fear stout, true hearted mat; had been iwapt away by the storm. Near a score were i.-ft; hu 1 . how many sh'ili see the light of anoth er day? At Din:: o'clock Captain Lester went below. Lie look down a chart of the North Sea, and havfcg spread it upon the table, be sat down to examine it. lie was thus engaged when Mr. tfi iißu came down; out lie did not look up un til ne had Soisbed the caleulitiou. •How is it?' the mate tislted, as he saw his commander iay down the dividers. 'L b-ve been making a reckoning, sn-i I titid that wo have but little more sea room left.— 'i h<: course we have made .since wc wore, has toon, so near as I can calculate, nortb-west-by west, so that wu must have bceu driving towards the coast of Northumberland. I think wo liavo pleuty of room to staud on until mid night; but we cannot stand on much longer.— If tire does nut abate by that time 1 know Ttot what we shall do.' The captain started up from his chair, and would probably have walked across tire cabin, bu a: that moment a heavy sea caught the si p and gave her a pitch forward, which eaug t'i L.::i to catch his scat as quickly as possible. As >:-on as rfic flood had gono from ibe d .uk, sc. the vessel had struggled up from ihe shock, ho looked into his companion's face, and •ain,. in a voice made tremulous by deepereiim tiOD than La had before manifested: 'Griffia, i have somethiug upon IUV rniud acre than you knew; and iam anxious to com muuiecte it too. 1 must tell it now, for I iiavo strange fort boding of coming ill. Sotue tiiug is to nappen ibat will bear great oaiau.i- ty to some of us. lam &<">? croaking—l am only reading what the Unseen has written in my soul, However, you shall bear my story. You have heard that my parents were both lost at seal' •Yes.' said the mate. "And perhaps you knew that they were lost in this sea?' •I have beard so, sir.' 'Aye—so it was. 1 wis a boy then. They were on their way to Copouhagen, as we should be now. My father commanded the ship—she was called the 'Clara Jane.' fc'ho was named for my mother; and she was a staunch, noble craft. I was at school, tbeD, in Troy; and when I knew that uty parents were dead, I was well nigh mad with grief. I fancied then, in my first hours of orphanage, that my heart would break, and, I think such would have been the case if they had kept me at scLool. But some of those who cared for me caiue to see me, and it was finally airauged that I should eo to sea. And I prospered—prosper ed so well that, when 1 was twenty years old, they gave uie continued of a ship. "The man who owned the ship which I first commanded was named Thornton. Me had a daughter named Carrie—one of the sweetest, purest, and loveliest creatures that ever graced this poor life of earth. She was four years younger than myself; but oven when 1 first knew her—aud she was not then more thin fourteen—she was a woman in intellect and grace, though a child in simplicity of love and confidence. Mr. Thornton did not object to my suit, so 1 loved her with all my soul, and was blessed to know that she loved me in re turn. It bad been arranged that wc should be married when she was twenty years old, — that had been our plan for more than two years, Mr. Thornton having set the bounds biuiself. It lacked two months of the time, and I had arranged to remain ot homo until wc were married. But—Thornton had a heavy ship freighted for Copenhagen, and her captaio was dying. He could find no one to take his place but tne, and he asked me to go. I could not refuse; but I asked that I mi*ht be mar ried first. Mr. Thornton shook his head, and said no. But he had another plan wttich he said would be better. He had been pianning to visit Copenhagen, where he had two broth ers in business; (they were in company wiih hint) aud he said he would take the next ship, and bring Carrie out with him, and we should bs married there. I finally consented to take out the new ship, aud Mr. Thornton, with his daughter, was to meet me in Copenhagen, and there we were to be mariied, and nil three come home together. The eyeing before I sailed 1 spent with Carrie, and when I left her I felt that I was leaviug my very life. 'Well' continued Lester, wiping his eyes, *1 went to Copenhagen. I waited a month, then I heard that the American ship, ' While Fawn,' with William Thornton and daughter on board, had touched at Dover, and that all were safo and well when she left. I waited another week, aud then I crossed over to Hamburg; but I could learn nothing there. Next I went to London, and there I learned enough to as sure me that the ship had been lost! On the socoud day after she left Dover a severe 9torm had ariseu, and several vessels bad been re reported lost. I sent uiy ship homo in charge of the uiare, and spetft four monts in searching after the lost cuts, but 1 could gain no trace of them. Not even a pieco r f the wreck coul I I find, not n mark of the ship nor of one of iis crew ! 1 came homo with a sad aud heart.' Maurice Lester stopped -a few moments, and bowed his head upon his hands, for his feelious had almost ovoroouie him. Iu a little while, however, he looked up again, and added, in a touching tone, — 'All, uiy dear friend, you do not know what I have suffered, tongue cannot tell it, nor on pen writ-.* it. I hut blow did break uiy heart, broke it in the rending of its tenderest cords, nud in the crushing of all its earthly bopes Do you believe in dreams'* The mate started, cot so much at the char acter of the question, as from the sudden man ner iu which it was put. 'Well,* said Lester, in a lower tone, 'J have had a dre;m repeated many times; but never has it come to me so dirscily and so vividly as within iliii past three or tour days. Carrie 'lfiornton is not dead! I know she is not! she has appeared to mc repeatedly in a dream, and calls upon me to 6ave her ' To-night, as I stood ell alone by the mizzeu rigging, trying to peer out into the thick gloom, 1 heard her voice as plainly as you now hear unne, aud she called out for me to save her. Of eourso what followed wa j mere fancy, though even that af fected mc much: 1 thought f saw her, standing not fr oil, upon a huge sea, with her arms stretched imploringly towards mc, saw her then, wi:h iny eyes open, as I hare often seen her in my sleeping dreams ! ' At this point tlie captain was cut short in his speech by the cry of '.'LIGHT-HO'" from the deck. They hurried up and found tho men crowding forward. 'What is it?' Lester asked. 'I think it is a light, sir,' replied Parker 'Here, sir,—just stand here. Now turn your aye about four points upon the larboard bow. Wait, now, till she rises. 11 rf—there!—there? See! Did you see it, sir?' ■ lea—he had *teo it; and he knew it must be a light upon the ehoro- but it was a great way off. He watoted until he had seeu it several imcs, and then ho remarked to his mate ihat it must be a light-house. The light was bold and distinct, and evidently at a considerable height above the level of the sea; fur, had it not been ?o, it could cot have been seen at that distance. After a short consultation, during which reference was L.d to the chart of the Northumberland coast, it was decided that this light must be upon Do. tou Point. To the north of Dortott, as the captain knew from personal experieaae, us well as from the chart, there was a snug harbor, of easy entrance. Thusa tbiogs were settled. As soou as it had been determined where the tight was, Captain Lester made all possible baato to determine his course of aotiou Had the tiling been practicable, Le would have laid his ship to; bur that could Hot be done. No one even gave it a serious thought. So it was de term.tied that the ship should stand on, at least till something further was discovered. At half-past twelve tho gale had moderated considerably. I'he light was now to be sect, very plainly whenever the ship rose, and the captain and uu officers felt sure that they were right 10 tbeir calculations. •At nil events,' said the former, 'vre have no cuoioo Out to stand on, at least -' BEDFORD maUIRER. Ha was interrupted by a cry from the bows that made every soul start with horror. 'BREAKERS! BREAKERS!' Captain Lester leaped forward, and in a very few momenta he w>s satisfied that the warning had not been a false one; tor be could not only hear the awful roigr of the breaking se*B, but be fancied that he could see the gleaming ot the white foaai as it flew high in the air. As quickly as possible the topsail was taken off, and the anchors cut loose. The ponderous grapplings plunged into the kissing sea, and the iron cables were spun through the hawse-holes like lightniDg. buap went the starboard chain; aDd in a moment more a shock was felt us the larboard anchor found bottom; but it conid not bold. The cable parted as though it had been a hempen string, and ou swept tho devoted ship. 'ln heaven's name!' gasped Griffin, 'what does this mean? See! The light is still burning ae brightly us ever—at least a league away —and yet here are the rocks directly under our bows! What can it mean?' Maurice Lester did not answer; but MI old, weather-beaten sailor, who stood at the wheel, and who had looked a thousand dangers in the face, answered lor him. 'IT'S A WRECKER'S BEACON! I've seen such things afore. There aint no use in firin' the gun, sir. That light was put there to lend poor Jack (-0 his death that the eoast-slmrks might pick Lis bones!' 'BREAKERS! ROCKS!— On the starboard bow! J\O! — On the larboard!— POßT!' But it was too late for mortal help. The ship had met her doom. She went upon the rocks with a crash that eounded high above the roar of the elements. CHAPTER 11. WOLFGANG. Maurice Lester was near the starboard gang way wheu tho ship struck, having started all to look to the helm. The shock threw him upon his back, aud he tried to get up ; but ere he could regain his feet the flood of mad wa ters came surging over the hark, and be was throv.u—be knew not where, lie only knew that the flood oauib —that it caught him in its giant grasp—that it liu'rled bim as tho gale hurls a feather—that his tK°®d Was butt—that his body was tossed aDd bruised —aai then the lamp of his consciousness went oof- he came to himself it was daylight, and the ray" of the sun weie beamiDg above him. A, first ho did not attempt to move, and further thai? simply to assure hioiseif that ho 7as really alive and sensible ; but sought > recall the events of the past, which he did, veiy clparly, up to the time when his ship struct upon the rocka,— he could go uo farther. After this he raised himself upon his elbow, and tried to g*zo abou' bim. He found himself upon a bed of sand, between two immense rocks. Ho had been landed there in that deep uook, and the side had gone out aDd left him. In a little while ho rose to his feet, and managed to crawl up, by the aid of a stranded spar, over a low part of one of the rocks. After seeing all that was to be observed from this point, he moved ou toward' wnero he thought he should soonest find an open beacb, for he felt faint and sick, and be wished to find help as soon as possible. After toiling over slippery, slimy rocks, and cruel, tearing crags, until his cloathiog was all torn, and his flesh bruL-ed and lacerated, he finally reached an open space am mg the rocks, where mmy pieces of the wreck had been lodged, and where he found the bodies of his men. He hastened to •he spot where they lay—two of them being clasped iu each other's arms--but he tound no signs of life. \V iih a sad, heavy heart, Lester passed on, and presently he fouud two more dead ones, and one ot them was David Griffin, his chief uiate. Ho kneeled down by the officer's side, and raised the head: but it was cold and life less and the skull was broken ! Gently be laid it back upon the sand, and then moved OD again. And he suv mora dead men also ! Gould it be possible that he had been the only one left alive ? lis! —wait—what is this ? It moves—it has life ! Captain Lester hurried forward, as fast as his feeble strength would permit, and found two men layiug by the side of a heavy spar. — One of them was dead: but tho other gazed up into bis commander's faco, und stretched fourth Lis liands as though he would ask for mercy. His name was Dick Mangel, and he had been one of the best aeamcn on board tho ship. "Puor Dick !" eaid Lester, kneeling bv his side and lifting his bead. "Are you badly hurt ?'' '•They've done it for us!" the sailor answer ed, in a weakening voice. "They've killed Tom. Aiut he dead ?" It was the body of stout Tom Bricket that Ly close by, and when the captain had made himself sure that there was no particle of life in it, he reported the same to Dick. "But," he added, "what do you mean ? Who has done you harm "Haven't you seen 'em V* the man asked, struggling for breath. "Seen whom? What do you mean?,' de manded Lester, eagerly. Dick started up to bis elbow, and gtzad around ; but he seamed to find nothing for which he was looking, and be sank bock again. Had he not made this effort he might have spoken further, but the aot of rising had ex hausted him, and the last grain of strength was leaving him. "What do you mean?" cried Lester, as ho <nw that the poor fellow was sinking. "Has any bouy uaruied you ?" Dick managed to raise bis hand to his lioad —to a poiDt above the left car—aud, as he did so, he whispered— "Lookout—they askod for the uapt'n. That's where they struck !" He tried to speak furth er, but his voice failed him. What could this mean ? Maurice Lester started to his foot and gazed around. Who had killed his men ? Tho captain was disturbed I. ;is meditation by tho sound of voices not tar oft, and upou turning he beheld lour men ooiuiug up from the water, lis wuo cauio iu advance was a tall, muscular rnau ; with a gaunt, heavy frauie; somewhere about fifty or fitty-five years of age; and habited in a garb of blue cloth, cut into a frock, or shirt, which was secured at tho waist by a btoad pistol-belt. Maurice Lester was startled whan ho beheld the stalwart leader and Li? three ruffianly com panions ; and, considering all the circum stances, it is no wonder that ha was startled. However, he had not much opportunity for re- flection, for, by tho time he had fairly made out the party, they were upon hiiu. "Hallo," the leader cried, a he saw onr hero, 'here we hare another.' And, as he came up, he added: 'And 1 guess we've fouud a live one, toe, -one that knows something.— Say—who are jo ?" This last sentence was addressed to Maurice, who quickly answered : 'My uame is Lester. And now, to be fair, what is your name 1" 'Well—l guess you'vo heard it before. Men call me Ryan Woilgaog.' 'WoLI'QANG !' repeated Lester, with a 6tart. •Yes. That is ruy name.' Then WOLFGANG was oot a myth after all. That mysterious wrecker, whoso name was a souree of terror to honest sailors, was a being of flesh and blood, like other men. Maurice gazed upon him with wonder ; and,as he gazed, he felt that he looked upon a fiend incarnate. He had often beard of thv pirate-wrecker, and so dark and mystic had been the tales which the North Sea sailors had told, that he had been inclined to believe that the wholo theme was a fabrication. Now, however, he had no more doubt, lor the man before him looked as dark and bloody as were any of the pictures he had heard drawn of him upon the forecas tle. But our hero was not allowed much time for reflection. Wolfgang plied him with ques tions, to all of which Lester gave straighfor- Wafd answers; well knowing that evasion would servo no practical purpose, and hoping by bis frankness to propitiate the mcrciiwss fiend in whose unrestrained power he knew himself to bo. When tho wrecker chief had elicited all the information he could, and learned with what a rich cargo the vessel was freighted, and that she had $40,000 in specie on board, he smiled grimly, and remarked to one of bis confedera tes that she wjuld perhaps he a richer prize even than the White Fawn had been a few years before. The mention of the name of tho ill-fated ship in whioh Carrie Thornton aDd her father had been lost, gave Maurice Lester such a shock that he Dearly fell to tho earth, lie grew deadly pale, and his frame quivered convulsive!*. •What's the matter?' said Wolfgang. 'You don't seem to have much strength left! —Bring him along, boys, where wo can doctor him.' The sinister glance which accompanied this last remark, and the peculiar emphasis laid upon the word 'doctor ,' struck a chill to our hero't heart. But he could not give his own safety m.'ieh thought, while be was partly forced and partly carried along after Wolfgang, who strode rapidly ou for nearly half an hour. lie could think only of the White Fawn that had been wrecked Oi* the 4 coast, and of his beloved Oarrie who lrad, perhuD®; * D company with those same uieu, tro-. th<? same path he was now treading. VVbat ban bet.' l her fate ? Had she been murdered by these wretches, or re served tor some more deplorable doom ? These thoughts filled hint with unui-'craMe ago oy. Wolfgang had now drawn near the wi'-tcrrf edge ; and soon coining to the mouth of a he entered it, followed by tho three ruffians who had charge of our hero. The bottom of the cave sloped upward from its entrance for some distance, and then became almost level. The captive (for such Maurice Lester now felt himself to be) frequently bit his feet against what he thought, with a chill of horror, were human bones strewD around tho cavern, lut he could not clearly make them out in the dim light, lie also noticed thai the bottom of the cave was very wet, as though it had recently boen covered with water. The wrecker chief tain stopped, at last, near what seemed the end of the cave, and unking a sign to hL followers, they clapped manacles on the wiistc and uukies of Maurice before he had time to note their in tention. 'Now, Captain Lester,' said Wolfgang, 'you must remain in this place for a short season.— You are perfectly safe here. —Silence ! Say uot a word! If you attempt to leave this spot, you will be slain the moment von set foot outside the cave.' Thus speaking, the chieftain aud his followers silently but rapidly withdrew, leaving Maurice nearly stupefied with astonishment. As they passed fiom the niouih of the cave, their feet were wot by ihe rising waves. The tide was fast coming in. After a short time, the captive looked about him with eyes somewhat accustomed to the dim light, aud beoame satisfied that what ho had supposed to be human bones were really such. There were many of them. And moving among them were huge rats, seeking for prey. The top of the cavern, in some places, was but a few feet above his head, and in one piaco he discovered a small aperture, through which a faint light struggled, and on going underneath it, bo thought he smeit the odor of vegetation aud flowers. On turning, from the contemplation of this aperture, towards the mouth of the oave, Cap tain Lester observed, with alarm, that the wa ter was creeping up the sloping bottom. What if it should fill the cavern? Ab I now he could account for the presence there of those human tones ! They were the sad memorials of other hapless prisoners who bad been left in that cave to peristi by drowning ! Slowly but surely the waters crept along.— Tie vermin fled before him to the elevated spot ou which Maurice st.cod. Siowly follow ing, the incoming water at length reached his feet! At the end of the cave, within a few feet of the wall, and underneath the aperture before spoken of, wss a large piooe of rock, some four feet high, that might have fallen from above. To this Maurice hastened as quickly as his manacles would permit. After some exertion no succeeded in climbing to tbo top of it, and stood erect, his head witbiu a few inches of the roof of the cavern. But ho was not allowed to occupy this retreat alone. As the water be gan to otreio inuud its base, the rat 3 also sought reiuga ou it in great numbers, and iu vain diil Maurice try to dislodge them wiib his manacled feet. iSoon (as it seemed to the captive) the water outoe rippling over the top of the rock. Ha telt i'.a moisture upon his feet. And still it rose—slowly but relentlessly it rose higher— higher; and as it rose, the rats climbed up his liuibs for safety. It was in vain that he brush ed them off with his fettered hands. They in stantly returned. They clambered up his back—to his shoulders—over the back of his neck—to the crowa of his head ; their clammy bodies striking a chill to bis very heart. And still higher tho wuters rose, and more thickly the foul vermin olustered upou the des voted captive's shoulders aud beau, as their only places of safety. Driven frantic at last by the horrors of bis situation, he was about to plunge into the surging tide and seek a wa tery grave, when his attention was arrested by the tread of rapid f'ootsthps near the aperture above his he id, and the sound of a harsh mas culine voice, almost instantly followed by a noise as a snuggle, and a piercing shiiek which tbiilled Maurice Lester to the very soul, lie could not be mistaken : if was CARRIK'S voice, j Again bo heard i, but now in tones of entrea | ty. Oh, it was her voice. She was not dead ! i Bho lived and was near tim! Gathering all his strength he shouted, "Carrie! Carrie! CARHJK I" A dead silence followed, broken os!y by tlie feaiful murmurs of the etiil rising waters, aud the splash of the rats as tbey tell from the wretcLed captiVe's head and shoulders, only to return again, in their fierce struggles for a peith of satcty from the advancing tide, which bad now nearly reached our hero's shoulders.
