A TerriT)leMoment.
BT B. J.
Yes, terrible that is Just what It
was. I shall never torget It, even
should I live to one of tboso wondrous
ages at times recorded In tbe papers.
Moreover, it was not a thing (or a man
to forget. Many events may slip from
our mind, but never that moment when
we stand on tho brink of the grave,
brought thither by the probability of
an awful death.
It happened In this way. I had been
in Australia for about five years, dur
ing which time I had amassed a toler
able fortune, when I began to long to
see the Old Country again a desire
considerably strengthened by the fact
that the girl I loved, and who had con
sented to be my wife, was going there,
and I could not bear the thought ot such
an extent of ocean between. us; so I de
termined to go too,and let our marriage
take place there.
May Dradstone was the only daughter
of a well-to-do squatter, and the pret
tiest, nicest girl for miles around the
station, though, until I had become ac
qulanted with her, rather fond of a bit
of girlish flirtation. This was tho worse
for me, as it turned nut.
Among her many admirers was one
Jacob Kiel. Dark-hatred, dark-eyed,
dark-complexioned, he was of that class
of men who feel strongly, and who
never forget an injury like wild cats,
tboy are nasty customers to offend.
Well, May, I fear, had flirted some
what with Jacob Kiel, who, I really be
lieve, loved tbe very ground she walk
ed on, though she declared--and I knew
It was true -that she had never given
him the slightest hope.
It was about this time that I appear
ed upon the scene; and she discovered
that she had found tbe right man, as I
had found the right girl. May Bnid
stono instautly gave up all her admirers,
was as steady and as quiet as a gum
tree when no wind blows, and finally
said the "Yes"' upon which my happi
ness depended.
Old Mr. Ilradstone knew the match
would be a good one, and readily gave
his consent, eo that our engagement
was soon made public. I was present
when the news reached Jacob Kiel. I
shall never forget his face.
Ills lips were compressed, his dark
eyes contracted; he looked from May to
me, and I lelt mat, it ever ne could he
would do me mischief, without a syl-
able bo quitted the place. A strange
sensation rah through me as he depart
ed, and May told me that a cold shud
der had run through her veins.
we did not see much ot Kiel after
this, though we knew be was often
about the station upon buslocss; but
tne man, somehow, throw a kind of
shadow over May's and my happiness,
and we were not at all sorry when we
got on the steamer homeward bound.
We had not, however, got clear out of
sight of laud when May, giving a little
cry, put her hand on my arm, and
slightly nodding Her head towards the
lower deck, said
"Oh, Edward, lookl he Is here, tool"
Aud so he was. Leaninc quletlv
over the side, watching the land, ap
parently, was Jacob Kiel, a passenger,
like ourselves.
I will own that I was considerably
annoyed, though when May, drawing
nearer, exclaimed, In a low, startled
voice, "Edward, dear, I don't know bow
It 19, but I dread that man I cannot di.
vest my mind of the thought that he
means us harm," I laughed, and tried
to banish so absurd an idea. And cer
tainly it appeared I had every right to
uo so.
Save by a casual Interchange of a fen
words, Kiel never troubled us; aud we
were malting a capital journey, when.
just as we were within twenty degrees
or tne line, we were struct ny a hurri
cane which the captain declared was al
most a cyclone In violence.
The vessel could not weather It. The
roasts crashed overboard, taking sever
al of the crow with tliem, aud before
tbe wreck could be cut adrift, a portion
ot the bioken sp,tr, dashing against
tbe ship, had cause a leak below the
water-line, and the cry was
"We are sinking! Lower the boats
the pumps are useless!"
Tbe captain was uiarvelously firm and
cool, ana by his example made us all
the same.
The boats were rapidly lowered and
filled, while, thank Heaven, the storm
seemed to abate. The women went
first, of course, and all was proceeding
well when, Just as the last boat was be
ing filled, I rememutred that In my
hurry I had left my mother's miniature
in my chest.
There was plenty of time to fetch It,
and In a second I was down in the
cabin.
Finding the lid open, my hand was
already upon tbe llkeuess, when I heard
a foot upon the stairs. I turned, and
by the dim light yet swinging from tbe
root perceived Jacob Kiel.
Good Heavens I The diabolical ex
pression of his faee, the fiendish malice
In his dark, suake-llke eyes, revealed
his Intention In a moment. He had
come to do me some deadly harm.
Leaping up, I seized ray revolver, to
be on my guard, out an attack was not
Ills purpose, llefnro I could prevent
him be had quickly closed the cabin
door, and locked It on the outside.
Like a flash ot lightning all tho hor
rors of my position Instantly dashed
before me. 1 was a prisoner lu tbe
sinking ship I
Uttering a loud shout of fury, I
sprang forwotd. Tbe cry wa ecboed
by a laugh (com Jacob Kiel,
I heard htm say
"Who will marry May lirartstono
now?" and then his feet went rapidly
up the stairs,
I called aloud for help; the uproar ot
the storm drowned my voice. I paus
ed. Just then the wind lulled, and I
heard an order to push off; the speaxer
was Jacob Kiel. I again shouted In
my agony; but my voice and the wind
rone together I was not heard.
I continued to shout like a mailman,
though I knew that all hope was gone
that I was alone, like a trapped rat, in
a Kinking ship.
Furiously I beat the door, all ttirs
while painfully conscious that rescua
was Impossible- and death certain, for It
was night, and, as no doubt the storm
would separate the boats, my absence
would not be discovered until the ves.
set had foundered.
Could I expect aught etso, when in
the occasional Uull of the liurrl:anu I
heard the rush of the deadly waters in
the hold, and felt tbe ship lurch muni
heavily each moment as she plunged in
the trough of the sea?
Suddenly she gave a terrible heel
over, and a wave camo rattling down
the companion ladder like thunder,
rushed under the door, and inundated
tbe cabin.
I shrieked in agony, believing that
ail was over that I was to die thui,
not even with tho chance ot battling
for life.
I felt that I could meet death calmly
Is I were on deck, with the heaven-t
above me; bpt my very hair stirred at
the horrible thought of being burled In
the sea, as it were, In a box. Was
there really no way of escape? I looked
round and gave a cry of Joy, then leap
ed forward, careless now tliat the water
mounted higher and higher.
"Fool I Idiot I" I exclaimed. "Why
did you not think of It before ' You are
your own murderer I"
My eyes had rested upon my revolv
er. In a second I had fired two of Iti
barrels Into the lock of tbe door, shiver
ing it to atoms, anil the next minute I
was upon the deck, only Just In time,
for the vessel was settling fast. It
would have settled before, but that tbe
storm had abated.
With a wild hope I looked for the
boats. Near or far, all was alike
darkness hid the waters. Hut having
succeeded so far, I resolved not to ties
pair. One by one I discharged tbe re
maining barrels of my revolver, and
then plunged Into the sea, to swim as
far as I could from the ship before It
sank, hoping that I should find some
pieces of wreck.
I did eo before t had proceeded far
a mast, with cordage attached. ThU
helped me, for, after lashing myself to
the mast as well as I could, the waves
boro me away. Suddenly, however, a
fearful rush of water seized me. I was
drawn rapidly back, and then down as
in a whirlpool flung, it seemed, here,
there, and every where,after which I re
membered no more. When I came to
I was In one of the boats, with May
Ilradstone leaning over me.
It appeared (hat directly morning
dawned the boats were called together,
and the captain went over the names,
when mine was found missing, upon
which he resolved to row back, and see
if he could not find me, urged thereto by
many of his companions, wbo wonder
ed, as did not Jacob Kiel, what could
have prevented my getting Into one of
tbe boats.
The sea was nearly calm, tbe sun
shining, and their search was not diffi
cult. Tlieysoon perceived a dark object.
Approaching it,they found it to be my.
self, clinging like grim death to tho
wreck, but laughing and yelling like a
maniac. In fact I was mad, and for
some time after they had managed to
get me into the boat I remained so;
then I became calmer, though 1 was
delirious for a whole day and night.
Directly sensibility returned I told
my story, filling every one with horror,
especially May Uradstoud.
"I see It alll" oxclaimed the captain.
"The vlllalnl Last night our boats
separated in the darkness; this morning
the one boat bearing Jacob Kiel aud
the worst of tbe crew was missing.
He lias either steered the boat Into o,
different track, or paid the fellows to
desert us, fearful ot the punishment
that might have awaited him when wo
touched land."
Whether this was so I do not know,
for we never heard of Jacob Kiel again.
That day wo ver( picked up by
hlp homeward bound, and in due time
were landed, when May and I were
married.
My wlfo will not hear of crossing tho
ocean again, as she cannot forget, as
indeed 1 cannot, tliut most terrible mo
me ut in my lite.
