high upon the water,
having discharged tier
cargo at Callae, from
which pert we wcre pro
ceeding in ballast te
Cape Town, Seuth
Africa, there te call ler
orders. Our run te
within a few parallels
of the latitude of the
Uern liad been oxtrcmo extrcmo oxtrcme
ly pleasant; the prover
bial mildness of the
Pacific ocean was in the mellow sweetness of
the wind and In the gentle undulations of the
sllver-laced swell; but scarce had we passed
the height of 49 degs. when the weather grew
sullen and dark, a heavy bank of clouds of a
livid hue rose in the northeast, and the wind
came and went In small gusts, the gusts vent
ing themselves In dreary means, insomuch
that our eldest hands confessed they had
never heard blasts mera portentous.
The gale came en with seme lightning and
several claps of thunder and heavy rain.
Though it was but 3 o'clock in the afternoon,
the air-was se dusky that the men had te foci
for the ropes; and when the first of the tem
pest stormed down upon us, the appearance
of the sea was uncommonly terrible, being
swept and mangled into boiling froth in the
northeast quarter, whlle all about us and in
the southwest it lay in a sort of swollen bud bud
dle of shadows, glooming into the darkness
of the sky without offering the smallest
gltmpse of the horizon.
In a few minutes the hurricane struck us.
We had bared the brig down te the clese
reefed inalntepsall; yet, though we wcre
dead befere the eutfly, its first blew rent the
fragment of sail as if it wcre formed of
smoke, and in an liibtant it disappeared, flash
ing ever the bows, llke a scattering of tern
aper, leaving nothing but the belt ropes bc
hlnd. The bursting of the topsail was llke
the explosion of a large cannon. In a breath
the brig was smothered with froth tern up in
huge clouds, and hurled ever and ahead of
her in vast quivering bodies that filled the
wind with a dismal twilight of their own, in
which nothing was vislble but their terrific
speeding. Through these slinging, soft, and
singing masses of spume dreve the rain in
horizontal steel like linra, which gleamed in
the lightning stroke, ns though indeed they
wcre barbetl weapons of bright metal, darted
by armies of invisible spirits raving out their
war cries as they chased us.
The storm made n loud thunder in the sky,
and this tremendous utterance dominated
without subduing the many screaming, hiss
ing, shrieking and hooting noises raised in
the rigging und about the decks, and the
wild, seething, weltering sound of the sea,
maddened by the gale and struggling in IU
enormous passion under the first choking and
iron grip of the hurrienne's hand.
But though the first rage of the storm was
tcrrlble enough, its fierceness did net coma
te its height till about 1 o'clock in the middle
watch, Leng befere then the sea had grown
mountainous, and the dance of our egg shell
of a brig upon It was sickening and affright
ing. Ne man could show himself en deck and
prescrve his life. Between the rails it was
waist high, and this water, converted by the
motions of the brig into a wild torrent, had
Its velume perpetually maintained by ten
leads of sea, falling in dull mid pounding
crashes ever the bows en te the forecastle.
Tbere was nothing te be dene but socure the
helm and await the issue below, for it we
Wcre te be drowned it would make a mero
easy foundering te go down dry and warm
in the cabin, than te perish halt frozen and
already nearly strangled by the bitter cold
and Heeded teraiiest en deck.
I There was Capt. Ilesy; thcre was myself,
by name Paul Hodney, mate of the brig, and
thcre were the remaining seven of a crew,
including the curpentcr. AVe sat in the
cabin, ene of us from lime te time clawing
his way up the ladder te peer through the
companion, and we looked at ene another
with the meiaucueiy ei inaieiaciers waning
te be called from their cells for the last jaunt
te Tyburn.
Thus it continued till daybreak, when
something of its midnight fury went out of
the gale. The carpenter made shift te sound
the well, and te our great satisfaction found
but little water, only as much as we had a
right te suppose she would take in above.
By neon the wind lind weakened yet, but the
sea still ran very heavily, and the sky was
uncommonly thick with piles of dusky, yel
lowish, hurrying clouds; and though we
could fairly reckon uieii our position, the
ntmosphere was se nipping it was dlfilcult te
persuade ourselves that Cape Hern was uet
clese aboard.
We could new work the pumps, and a
short spell freed the brig. We get up a new
maintepsail and bent it, and setting the
reefed foresail put the vessel befere the wind,
and away fche ran, chased by the swollen
seas. Thus we continued till bydearl reck
oning we calculated that we were about
thirty leagues south of the parallel of the
Hern, and In longitude 87 degs. west. We
then bearded our larboard tacks and brought
the brig as clobe te the wind as it was proper
te lay her for a progress that bheuld net be
wholly leeway; but four hours after we had
handled the braces the gale, that had cot
veered two points slnce it first came en te
blew, stormed up again into its tlrt f ury,
and tbe morning of the 1st of July, A. D.
1601, found the Laughing Mary passionately
laboring In the midst of an enraged Cape
Hern tea, her Jibhoem and foretopgallant feretopgallant foretepgallant
mastgono, her ballast shifted, se that her
posture, even in a calm, would have exhibited
htr with her starboard channels under and
her decks swept by enormous surges, which,
fetching her larboard bilge dreadful blows,
thundered In mighty green masses ever her.
I CHAPTER II.
THE ICEDEUO.
The less of the spars I have named wai no
great matter, nor wcre we te be intimidated
by such weather as was te be expected oil
Cape Hern.
But thcre was an inveteracy In the gale
which had driven us down te thU part that
bere heavily upon our spirits. It was inpes-
stble te trim the ballast We dared net veer
se as te bring the ship en the ether tack.
With helm lashed and yards pointed te the
wind, thus we lay, thus we drifted, steadily
trending with the send of each giant surge
farther and deeper into the icy regions of the
southwest, helpless, foreboding, uisconseiaic
It was the night of the fourth day of the
month. The crew wcre forward in the fore
castle, and I knew net if any man was. en
deck saving myself.
I steed in the companion as In aentry
box, with my eyes just abeve the cover.
Jfetbing was te be been but sheets of ghostly
white water, sweeping up the blackness en
the vessel's lee, or breaking and boiling te
windward.
r After a long and eager leek round Inte the
obscurity, semiluccnt with froth, I went
below for a mouthful of spirits and a bite of
supper, the hour being eight bells In the
second deg watch, as we say that is, eight
o'clock in the evening. The captain aud car
penter were in the cabin. Upen the swing
tray ever the table were a pioce of corned
iccf, soma bfscujt, erda bettle of hellands.
t'Wo're in an ugly part of the glebe,"
says Capt, Resy, "When bad. sailors dle
they're sent here, I reckon. The worst nau
tical sinner can't be hove te long off the Hern
without coming out of it with a purged soul.
He must start afresh te deserve further puu
Jshment." "WcH.hru'a Lrww tlitf can't co eq

blowing much longer," cries the carpenter.
"The pUce it comes from must give out seen,
enlcss a new trade wind's get fixed into a
whole gale for this here ocean.''
"What seuthing de you allow our drift
will be giving us, captain!" I asked, munch
ing a plcce of beef.
"Allet four mile an hour," he answered. "If
this gees en I shall leek te make seme discov
eries. The antarctle circle went be far off
presently, and since you're a scholar, Rod Red
ney, I'll lcave you te doscrlbe what's Inside
of It though boil me if I dent htve the
naming f the tallest land; for, d'ye see, Pre
a mind te be known after I'm dead, and
there' nothing like your signature en a
mountain te be remembered by."
At this Instant we were startled by a wild
and fearful shout en deck. It sounded high
above the sweeping and seething of the wind
and the hissing of the lashed waters, and it
penetrated the planks with a note that gave
It an inexpressible character of anguish.
"A man washed overboard I" bawled the
carpentar, springing te his feet
"Nep cried I,for my younger and shrewder
car had caught a note in the cry that per
suaded me it was net as the carpenter said;
and In an instant the three of us jumped up
the ladder and gained the deck.
The moment I was in the gale the same
affrighted cry rang down along the wind
from seme man ferward: "Fer Ged's sake,
tuinhle up befere we are upon it I"
"What de you seeP I reared, sending my
voice, trumpet fashion, through my hands;
for as te my own and the sight of Capt Resy
and the carpenter, why, it was like being
struck blind te come en a sudden out of the
lighted cabin into the black night
Any reply that might have been attempted
was choked out by the dive of the brig's
head into the sea, which furiously flooded
her forecastle, and came washing aft like
milk in the darkness, till it was up te our
knees.
"See thcroPeuddenlyrearcd the carpenter.
" Whcre, manwbcreP bawled the captain.
But in this brief time my sight had grown
used te the night, and I saw the object befere
the carpenter could answer. It lay en our
loe beam, but hew far off no man could have
told in that black thickness. It steed against
the darkness and hung out a dim complexion
of light, or rather of pallidness, that was net
light net be described by the pen. It
was like u small hill of snow, and looked as
snow does, or the foam of the sea in darkness,
and it came and went with our searing and
sinking. .
"Icel" I shouted te the captain. ""
"I see it," he answered. "We must drive
her clear at all risks."
There was no need te call the men. Te the
second cry that had been raised by ene
among them, who had ceme out of the f ore ere
castlo and seen the berg, they had tumbled
up as sailors will when they Jump for their
lives; and new they came staggering, splash
ing, crawling aft te us, for the lamp in the
cabin made a sheen in the companion hatch,
and they could see us as we steed there,
"Men," cried Capt, Resy, "yonder's a
gravestone for our carcasses if we are net
livclyl Cast the helm adriftl" (we steered
by a tiller). "Twe hands stand by it. For
ward, 6ome of yc, and loeso the f ercstaysail,
and show the head of it I"
The fellows hung In the wind. I could net
wonder. The bowsprit had been sprung when
the jibhoem was wrenched from the cap by
the fall of the tepgallantmast; It still had
te bear the weight of the heavy spritsail
yard, and the drag of the staysail might
carry the spar overboard with the men upeu
it. Yet it was our best chance; the ene sail
most speedily released and heisted the ene
that would pay the brig's head off quickest,
and the only fragment that premised te stand.
"Jumpl"' reared the captain, in a passion
of hurry. "Great thunder I 'tis clese aboard!
You'll leave me no sea room for veering if
you delay an instant"
"Fellow me who wllll" I cried out; "and
ethers btand by ready te heist away."
Thus speaking for there seemed te my
mind a surer premise of death in hesitation
at thi3 supreme moment, than in twenty
such risks as laying out en the bowsprit sig
nified I made for the lee et the weather
bulwarks and blindly hauled myself forward
by such pins and gear as came te my hands.
A man might spend his life en the ocean and
never have te deal with such a passage as
this.
I get en te the bowsprit, nearly stifled by
the showering et the seas, holding an epCR
knife, between my teeth, half dazed by thff
prodigious motion et the light brig, which at
this extreme end of her was te be felt te the
full height of its extravagance. At every
plunge I expected te be buried, and every
moment I was prepared te be tern from my
held.
Commending myself te Ged, for I was new
te let go with my hands, I pulled thoknife
from my teeth, and, feeling for the gaskets
or lines which bound the sail te the spar, I
cut and hacked as fast as I could ply my
anas. In a Hash the gale, whipping into a
liberated fold of the canvas, blew the whele
sail out; the bowsprit reeled and quivered
under me; I danced off it with incrodible
dispatch, shouting te the men te heist away.
The head or, tne staysail mounted in tuunuer,
and the slatting et its folds and the thrashing
of Its sheet was like the rattling of heavy
field pleces whisked at full gallop ever a
stony read.
"High enough P I bawled, guessing enough
wa3 shown, for I could net bee. "Oct n drag
upon the sheet, lads, and then aft with you
for your lives 1"
Scarce had I let forth my breath In this
cry when I heard the blast as of a gun, and
knew by that the sail was geno; an instant
after wash came a mountainous sea sheer
ever the weather bulwarks fair betwixt tha
fere and main rigging; but happily, standing
near the fere shrouds, I was holding en w ith
both hands te the topsail halyards w hile call
ins te the men, se that, being under the rail,
which breke the blew of the sea, and holding
en tee, no mischief befel me only that fei
about twenty seconds I steed In' a herrible
fury and smother of frothing water, hearing
nothing, seeing nothing, with every faculty
in me se numbed and dulled by the wet, cold,
and horror of our situation, that 1 knew net
whether in that space of time I was in tne
least degree scnsible et w hat hud happened
or what might befall.
The water leaving the deck, I rallied,
though half drowned, and staggered aft, and
found the helm tliSerted, ncr-uld T f-.'uiy -signs
et my companions. I rushed te the
tiller, a-ld putting my whele weight and ferce
te it, dreve it up te windward and secured it
by a turn of its own reap; for ice or no lee
and for the moment I was se blinded by the
wet that I could net see the berg my mad
ness new was te get the brig before the sea
and out of the trough, advised by every in
stinct in me that such another surge as that
w hlch had rolled ever her must send her te
the bottom in less time than it would take a
man te cry "Oh Ged I"
A figure came out of the hlackne3 en the
loe side of the deck.
"Who is thatl" said he. ItwasCapt. Resy.
I answered.
"What, Rodneyl-aliveP cried he. "I
think I have been struck Inscntible."
Twe mero figures came crawling aft; then
two mero. They were the carpunter and
thrce seamen.
I cried out, "Who was at the helm when
that sea was shipped I'1
A man answered, "Me, Themas Jehllng."
"Whcre's your inatep I asked; and it
seemed te me that I was the only man who
had his senses full Just then.
"He was washed forward alens with me,"
he replied.
New a fifth man joined us; but before I
could question him as te the ethers, the cap
tain, with a scream like an epileptic's cry,
shrieked, "It's all ever with us I We are
ujn Up
I looked and perceived the Iceberg te be
within a musket shot, whence it, was clear
that it had been closer te in when first
sighted than the blackness of the night would
suffer us te distinguish. In a time like this
at sea events throng se fast they ceme in n
heap, and even if the intelligence were net
confounded by the uproar and peril if, in
deed, it were as placid as in any time of cr cr
fect security it could net possibly take nete
of one-tcnth that happens.
I confess that, for my part, I was very
nearly paralyzed by tlft nearness of the ice
berg, and by the cry of the captain, and by
the perception tliat there was nothing te be
done. That which I best recollect is the ap
pearance of the mass of ice lying solidly, like
a little island, upon the coos which reared iu
creaming waters about it.
AH ether features wcre swallowed up In
the agony of the time, One monstrous swing
the brig gave, like te seme deemed creature's
last delineus struggle; the bowsprit caught
li istani t iscd with, taa aeiss ei a grj
tree crackling in fire, I could hear the matte
breaking overhead the crash and blew of
spars and yards tern down and striking the
hull ; abeve all, the grating et the vessel, that
was new head en te the sea and swept by tha
billows, breadside en, along the sharp and
murderous projections. Twe monster sea
tumbled ever the bows, floated ma off my
legs, and dashed me against the tiller, te
wlUch I clung. I heard no cries. I regained
my feet, clinging with a death grip, te the
tiller, and, seeing co ene near me, tried te
hollea, te knew if any man were living, but
could net make my voice sound.
Clinging with a death grip te tht tiller.
The fearful grating noise ceased en a sud
den, and the falntnesa et the berg loomed
upon the starboard bow. We had been
hurled clear of it and weroteleowardjhut
what was our condition! I tried te shout
again, but te no purpose, and was in the act
of quitting the tiller te go forward, when I
was struck ever the brews by semething
from aloft a block, as I bollevo and fell
senseless upon the deck.
