She avoided his glance of bold admir- ation while returning his greeting, aud | looking out over the ship's side at the smooth and shining waves, exclaimed : “Oh, how lovely the sea looks this morning I” “I wish it were a garden, where I could gather you a bouquet.” said Mal- colm. “Beautiful women like you, | should alwars be surrounded with tlow- ers. But isn't there something I can offer you? Al, yes, a nantilus! I saw some a few moments ago, and remem- | bered your wish.” i He turped quickly.

Only | one turned rounds fine-looking sea- | man, fair-skinned, ruddy, blue-eyed and flaxen-haired. He dropped his calk- | ing-pot, caught up a wooden bucket, | made its rope-handle fast to another | rope by a running-knot, and throwing | back his broad shoulders with a lithe | motion of his shapely figure, he prepared | tn launch it over the guonwale, when the | nate roared out with a gush of oaths | that he didn’t mean him. ““ You're too ready with your desire | to show off,” he muttered between his | teeth ; and, seeing that the other sailor | continued to quietly pursue his labor, | as if unconscious of his existence, the | brutal tempered officer rushed on him | in a rage, and with a violent blow felled | him to the deck, where he lay without a motion. * You've struck a sick man, Mr. Sher- wood,” said the fair and brawny sailor, | who was & Dane, and bore the soubii- qnet of Neptune among his fellows, | “ Poor lad ! he fell on his marlingspike | off the Plata, and he hasn't been him- | self since. He's deaf, too, and didn't | hear yon.” i Helen bad uttered a cry of horror as | the mate's clenched fist descended on | the slender rope-coiler. She knew him | by his pale face and painful cough ; and | although her father's illness had hereto- fore allowed her little time forany duty except waiting on him, she hal sent many delicacies to the forecasile by Zillah, her maid, for this same sick sailor. As he fell, she ran to his side. Neptune stood with his arms folded, with a strange expression on his dead- white face. “Don’t fret yourself, miss,” he said, | ina cold and bitter tone; “if poor Pierre has got his discharge he’s in Inck. There's plenty more willing to leave this service the same way. for want of a better.” A gleaming smile, full of contempt and suppressed anger, played round his thin lips, and he looked steadily in Mal- colm’s face, as if defying him, Snch daring could not pass with im- punity. If the mate was silent a mo- ment, it was because his fury mastered his ntferance. *“ My. Shelton—Mzr. Frero !” he ejacu- lated, as soon as he could speak. An elderly man, whose originally fine face was marred by signs of habitual intemperance, sauntered out of the cabin, and a slight and youthful fellow, with flashing, black eyes and a quick, nerv- ous movement of the body, seemed to dropfrom the shrouds on deck. Both made an inclination of the head in reply to the savage mate's call, and addressing first the younger of the two, by the name of Frero, he ordered him. at once to put the sailor Neptune in irons. For a moment the young man, who was third mate and also ship’s carpen- ter, stood silent; the next, he flatly re- fused to obey. Meantime, the frightened girl had helped the young Frenchman to rise from the deck, and was gently support- ing him toward the forecastle when two Norwegians, called Christian and Oddo, relieved her of her charge, and lifting him in their arms bore him away. She stood looking till his poor, droop- ing head disappeared down the gang- way, and then, hurrying around the windward sides of the galley, tried to gain the cabin without encountering th 83 FRED KURTZ, lIiditor and Propri VOLUME XIV.

Nearly all writers upon the subject, whether those who have them selves experienced its effects , Or W hether their knowledge is derived from study, dwell with great force on the terribly depressing effect upon the physical or ganization of the natives of the median ones caused by the long Aretie night whenever brought within its influence. Though much less has been written or said concerning the interminable day its effects are almost as deleterious upon the stranger as the prolonged night. Indeed, to the sojourner in high lati tudes the day is much more appreciable, for at no point vet visited by man is the darkness the total darkness of night throughout the entire day, while the “ midnight sun" makes the night like noonday. Even when the sun passes below the horizon at its upper culmin ation the daylight is as intense as at noon in lower latitudes when the sun's disk is obscured by thin clouds. The long twilight in the north, where the sun's apparent path around the earth varies so little in altitude as its upper lower eulminations, takes 1 edge off of the prolonged highest latitude ever at- he Arctic explorer, but there is nothing to relieve the long, long weary day of its full power upon the system. " In this latitude tha sun goes down at night and we retire to our conches and sleep. In the morning the sun returns and we arise to the pursuit of our van ans daily avocations, Bat there in the spring the sun never seta, There is no mors ing and no night.

Lieutenant Schwatks, and his companion, the cor- respondent of the Herald, are both near sighted, and during the two seasons that they were exposed to the disease were neither at any time affected by snow-blindness, while the other mem- bers of the party, and especially the natives, who have most powerful visual organs, were almost constantly martyrs to the disease whenever exposed to its attacks. It seems to be the only method of guarding against it to wear what we called snow goggles all the time one is out of doors, "The natives ase those of home manufacture—that is, a piece of wood with a noteh to fit over the bridge of the nose, and a narrow, horizontal glit opposite each eve.

Glass of any pattern or shade subjects the wearer to constant annoy ance by fogging from the breath, which congenls very rapidly upon the surface of the glass and, apparently always at the most inconvenient time, as when the hunter is stalking a deer by crawl ing a long distance upon his hands and knees, and just as he raises his rifle for a shot his goggles are like pieces of groand glass, The native spectacles give such limited field of vision that it is impossible to use them in hunting, but the wire gauge seems to be free from all these objections. A well supplied expedition 1s provided with every kind of snow goggles, as they are absolutely essential to the well being of the party. The superiority of the wire gauze pattern seemed to have been appreciated by the Franklin expedi tion, for many of them were found at the various burial places and at other points where rel were obtained. If said that painting around the \ upon the upper and lower lids with burned cork or some other dark pigment is a protection against snow- blindness, but it doubtful if this method has been sufficiently tested to admit of its being relied upon.
