SONNET TO THE SEA.
0 senseless Sea, how long shall men proclaim
'icy rrecaom ana my power) Biavo ot Uis
Moon,
Thy wrath la borrowed of the wind, tho Noon
Supplies thy smiles, thy life is but a name
That poets use. To theo nor pralso nor blame
Delong. And yet shall man, alas, not soon
Forget to fear thee, and ttiy dim halls strewn
With bones of bravest man and fairest damef
the careless fish within theo sport and brood,
The bird above thee spreads her scornful wing;
Yet thou, more lifeless than thy weakest weed.
Canst shake the very soul ot priest and king.
And aye to man thy breathless breast appears
A wasto of sighs, a wilderness of tears.
Tho Academy.
CUT OFF.
A email steam launch, containing half
a dozen persons, swept swiftly along
with tho muddy current of tho Ouajara
river. Tho vessel and party had left
Para, at tho mouth of a branch of tho
Amazon, nearly a month beforof and
had steamed up as far as" tho junction of
the Madera, thero taking a southerly
courso as far as Balsamaeo.
After leaving tho latter town they had
turned into a sido stream and beforo long
wero inextricably mixed up in tho net
work of creeks and small rivers which
cross and recross themsolves in southern
Brazil.
Tho leader of tho party and owner of
tho launch lay stretched out on tho deck
with a small rifle In his hands, occasion
ally shooting at somo bright plumaged
bird-flying overhead or at a lazy reptile
coiled in tho branches of a trco on shore.
"Jock," he said presently, to tho young
man who Bat in tho pilot house anil with
raro skill kept tho vessel clear of tho in
numerable logs in tho river, "whero nro
wo now?"
"I don't know," replied Jack. "Whero
is Bunco? Ho's tho only person who has
over been known to leavo these parts
allvo."
A shout from tho young pilot brought
Bunco Into viow a tall, thin, swarthy
man, with a countcnanco that would
havo mado his fortune as tho leading
villain in a drama of the lurid typo. But
in Epito of his looks and chVonio indis
position to work ho was good liaturcd
and intelligent, and of valuablo service'
to tho party. Jack had christened him
Bunco, as tho natno most closely resem
bling that which ho had given at their
first meeting.
"I dunno whar wo is." ho said in reply
to. tho pilot's question. "Hit's mighty
queer, too, for I haf been yero befo'."
Ho looked nervously toward shore as
ho continued:
"Hit ain't fur from Balsamaeo to Inca,
I reckon, an' ef once wo git thar wo aro
suro tcr run into ther natives. They're
thick right aroun' hyer, an' savager'n all
tarnation."
Tho captain of tho craft aroso and
stood at Bunco's side.
"Can you tell us how to reach tho
Madera again?" ho asked. "This must
bo ono of tho branches to it possibly tho
Guajara."
"Thet's jest whut I'm afeard of," said
Bunco, shading his eyes with ono hand
and peering ahead. "An ef hit id,
wo'ro agoin' ter run right in ther Inca
country."
"And tho natives there, you say, are
savage?"
Tho colored man nodded.
"They're wusser than in any other
part of Brazil."
Tho conversation was interrupted by
tho appearance of two 'young men, ono
about tho same ago as Jack and the
other a few years older.
"Bill is going to Btrike," said ono of
them, with a laugh. "He's got nearly
all his clothing off now, but ho says, it's
hot enough down in tho engino room to
broil a steak. Ho wants to know when
you aro going back."
"AVe'ro going to turn around present
ly," replied tho person addressed. "We
why, Bunco, there's a house,"
Tho whole party followed with-their
eyes tho direction of tho captain's out
stretched arm, and saw through tho foil
ago tho thatched roof of a native hut.
Jack turned, tho vessel towards shore and
rang tho signal in tho engino room to
shut off steam.
In a few minutes thoy had reached dry
land and wero hurrying in tho direction
of tho building, leaving Bill to moor tho
launch and follow them later.
Tho party consisted of an English gen
tleman named Robert Etyngo, his two
sons, Qeorgo and Russell; Jack Camp
bell, a young American, and Bill and
Bunco, engineer, fireman, deck hand and
steward, in turn. They wero on a six
months pleasure trip through South
Amorica.
Tho houso, which they discovered in
tho center of a cleared space of ground
near tho river sido, was a well built struct
ure, containing ono largo and ono small
room, with tho single entrance in tho side
of tho former. It had evidently been
lately inhabited, for a largo supply of
grain, dried meats and vegetables was
stored within, and apilo of wood already
cut for fuel lay ready at hand.
Tho party proceeded at onco to inspect
tho cabin, to see what sort of a place it
would bo to spend tho night in. Ihelr
quarters in tho vessel wero so cramped
that whenever it was practicable they
had slept in a tent on shoro or in a ten
porarily deserted hut llko tho present ono.
"I guess wed better stay hero ror tne
night," said Mr, Etyngo. "Tho building
is a stout ono and proof against both
wild beasts and wild men. Supposo a
couplo of you youngsters go down to the
boat and cet somo bedding."
Jack and Russell stepped to tho door,
but drew back suddenly, tho former
beckoning to tho captain as ho did so,
"Theros a crowd of natives coming
this way," ho whispered. "Look through
tho window while wo bar the door.
Mr, Etynea sprang to tho small win
dow and glanced towards a body of men
rapidly advancing m tho direction or the
cabin. They were within gunshot befora
catching sight of the, house, then they
fell back, concealing themselves behind
somo trees and bushes, and jabbering
awav liko an army of monkeys.
"Well," said Russell, as ho and Jack
finished bariing the door, "this is a Dice
adventure, isn't it? Tho idea of leaving
the boat with only ono rifle among us!
They looked Into each other's faces,
but no one spoke,
Whiz)
A short, thick, sharp pointed piece ol
wood How through tho window ana bur
led itself in tho opposite wall. Another
and another followed, some of them
striking tho cabin and others coming in
by way of tho open window.
The men threw themselves on the
floor, at Bunco's suggestion, and all but
Jack Campbell remained in that position
for nearly half an hour. Tho latter had
seized the captain's small repeating riflo
I and cautiously Approached the window,
$1.28 when
ror somo minutes tho arrows from tho
natives' air guns flow so thickly that ho
was unable to got a shot at thcnij but
presently there came a lull in tho ono
sided bombardment, nnd tho sharp crack
of tho riflo was followed by n death yell
from without
But ono riflo, although it kept back for
some timo tho assault of the savages,
was not Bufllcient to drive them away,
and late In tho nftemoon, Jack's car
tridges having given out, tho natives ap
proached nearer to tho cabin.
They seemed to rcalizo that the deadly
ammunition of their enemies had becomo
exhausted, and wero preparing for a
hand to hand conflict, knowing that they
outnumbered tho inmates of tho cabin
ten to one.
But as thoy cautiously approached tho
hut, shooting almost constantly at tho
door and windows, au unexpected but
powerful ro-enforcemcntcauio to tho aid
of tho tourists in tho shnpo of their en
gineer on board tho launch.
Bill was slow to comprehend the real
danger of his friends' position; but when
ho did so he at onco made preparations
for their relief. Ho gathered all tho
ammunition ho could find into tho pilot
houso, and loaded nearly a dozen repeat
ing rifles beforo commencing to shoot.
When ho Anally opened flro ho was ablo
to keep a steady stream of bullets trained
upon tho savages, and this thoroughly
demoralized them and caused the majors
ity to retreat precipitately from tho hut
and turn their attention toward the river,
Bill was not particularly noted for his
marksmonship, and not moro than ono
in ovory twenty bullets took effect; but
tho unceasing fire was too much for the
natives, and they broke and ran liko so
many sheep.
For a few minutes it looked as though
Bill's plan would enable thoso imprisoned
in tho hut to mako their escape; but with
tho cessation of tho firing tho courage of
tho natives returned, and they speedily
placed tho cabin between themselves and
the vessel. Then they.sent a half dozen
particularly good shots at the doughty
engineer,
"It looks ter me," said Bill to himself,
as several of the sharp pointed sticks
flow past him, ''as if wo'd kinder got
inter a hornets' nest. Theso durnod sav
ages will starvo tho boys out unless I can
drivo them off. I guess I'll wait till after
dark and seo if I can't carry 6omo rifles
to them."
For.somo timo afterwards tho mind of
tho engineer was busily engaged in choos
ing from a number of plans tho ono best
suited for the speedy deliveranco of his
fellow tourists. It wOuld be-necessary to
reach tho cabin without alarming the
savages, and nt tho same timo leavo be
hind him 60mo indication of his presenco
on board tho vessel, thus distracting their
attention from Itis expedition.
Ho finally perfected a Echeino that
would carry out hisidea, and when night
fell, ho had completed his arrangements
for liberating tho tourista.
He secured all tho rifles in ti bundle
and stowed about his clothing all tho
cartridges ho could carry. Then ho set
tho whistlo on tho boat to blowing, tying
back tho valvo cord, so as to frighten
tho natives and givo them to understand
that ho was still on board. Tho vessel
was also provided witly'a largo and reso
nant brass boll, and tho clapper of this
ho connected by a cord with tho plung
ing piston rod, for ho had set tho engine
gently to working. Tho result must have
puzzled and amused tho captives as much
as it alarmed the natives, and for n few
minutes not a sound could bo heard above
tho hoarse shriek of tho whistlo, and tho
loud ding dong of tho bell.
Just as tho din commenced Bill leaped
on shore with the rifles and ammunition
and set out in the darkness for the cabin.
Twico ho stumbled nnd fell, and several
times caught sight of dark forms mov
ing about him, for tho cabin was sur
rounded by Bavages. But if they saw tho
engineer thoy must havo taken him for
ono of their own number, and ho reached
tho front of tho cabin in safety.

Tho door was cautiously oponed and

When thoy had divided tho rifles nnd
cartridges, tho captain said:
"I guess we d better start for tho boat
at once. Under cover of tho darkness
wo aro moro suro to reach it, nnd tho
noiso of tho whistlo will shew ustho way.
Aro you all ready?
'Yes, cam'o in chorus from tho rest,
and the door was slowly opened.
Tho captain went out llrst, followed in
turn at intervals of a minute by Bunco,
Jack, Russell, Bill and George.
Just as tho latter started, tho fun began.
Tho rifles kept cracking merrily, each
succeeding report sounding nearer and
nearer to the boat, until the captain, with
Bill at his side, sprang on board, and tho
ingenuity of tho latter was still further
demonstrated by tho preparations which
ho had mado for repelling boarders.
Two long pieces of rubber hose, con
necting with tho boiling water in tho
