THE FRKNCIIVAV DIES.
However, If I expected my Frenchman
te kit very long silent, he seen undeceived
me by Ixfrinnliig te complain In his tremu
lous, aged voice of his weakness and aching
limbs.
" Til the terrlble eeM that has affected
me," said he, whlle his head nodded nerv
ously. "I feci the rheumatism in every
bone. There is no wcaknen Ukotborheu Uketborheu Ukotberheu
matic, Ihave heard, and 'tis true, 'tis true I
It may lay me along yes, by the Virgin, tia
rheumatism what elseP Here he was Inter
rupted by a long fit of coughing, and when
it as ended he turned te address me again,
but looked at the bulkhead en my right, as if
his vision could net Hz me. "But my capers
nre net ever," he cried, setting up his rick
ety, shrill threat; "no, nel Vive l'ameurl
Vive la jeiet The sun is coming; the sun U
the fountain of life; ay, men brave, there
are seme shakes in these stout legs yetl" He
ihoek his head with a due air of cunning
and knewiugness, grinning very oddly; and
then falling grave with a startling sudden
ness, he began te drlbble out a piratical love
story he had ence before favored me with,
describing the charms of the woman with a
horrid leer, his head nodding with the nerv
ous affection of age all the time, whlle he
looked blindly in my direction a hideous
ana yet pitiful object I
I could net say that his mind was gene,
but he talked with many breaks for breath,
and net very coherently, as though the office
of his tongue was perfermed by habit rather
than memory, se that he often went far
astray, and babbled into scnteuccs that had
no reference te w hat had geno before, though
en the hele 1 managed te collect what he
meant I w as sure he had net power enough
of vision te obscrve me in the dim reddish
light of the cook room, and .this being se he
could net knew I was prwent mero partlcn
larly as he could net hear me ; yet he persisted
in his peer babble, which was a behavior in
him that, mero than even the matter of his
tpeech, persuaded me of his Imbecility.
He made no refcrence te our situation,'
and iu solemn truth I bellove his memory
retained no mero than a few odds and ends
of the evil story of his Ufollke bits of tar
nished lace and a rusty button or two lying
in the bottom of a dark chest that has long
been emptied of the clothes It ence held.
But my condition made such heavy de
mands upon my thoughts that I had very
much less attention te gi ve te this surprising
phenomenon of senility than its uncommon
merits deserved. It has puzzled every mem
ber of the faculty that I have mentioned it
te, the supposition being that, given the case
of suspended animation, there is no waste,
and the person would quit his stupor with
the same powers nud aspect as be possessed
when he entered It, though it lasted a thou
sand years. But granting there is no waste,
Time is always present, waiting te settle ac
counts when the sleeper lifts his head. There
may be an artificial iuterval, during which
the victim might show as my pirate did but
the poised lead of years is kovered en a sud
den by the scythe and becomes superincum
bent, and nith the weight comes the trans
formation; and this theory, as the onlyeye
witness of the marvelous thing, I will held
and maintain w hile 1 have breath in my body
te support it!
I left him gabbling te himself sometimes
grinning as if greatly dhcrted, sometimes
lifting a trembling hand te help his ghostly
recital by nn equally ghostly dumb thew
and went en deck, satisfied that he was tee
weak te get te the lire and moddle with it,
tut sufficiently invigorated by his long
night's rest te sit up without tumbling off
the bench.
This .time I carried with menn old per per
spectlve glass I had noticed in the chest in
my cabin the chest in which were the nauti
cal instruments, charts nnd papers and
leveled it along the coast of the island; but
it was a peer glass, nnd I found I could man
age nearly us well with the naked oye.
There was no cbange of any kind, only
that there was a fuibla diminution in the
blew ing of the wind, and a corresponding
decrease iu the height of the seas. The ice
stretched in a considerable bed en cither
hand the ship and ahead of her; the water
frothed freely ever it, and there was a great
jangling nnd flashing of broken pieces, but
the hull was no longer heavily hit by them.
1 get into the main chains te view the
body of the vessel, and noticed with satisfac
tion that the constant pouring of the sea had
thinned down the frozen Mieiv te the depth
of at least a feet. This encouraged me te
hope that the restless tides would bap te her
keel at least nnd put her into a posture te be
easily launched by the blew of a surge upon
her bows that is if foituue continued te
keep her head en.
Te determine the hour jnd our position, I
fetched a quadrant from my cabin, and was
happilj just in time teeutch the sun crossing
the meridian. My watch was half an hour
fast, se I had lieeu out of my reckoning te
the extent of thii t.v minutes ever since 1 had
been cast away. I maJe our latitude te 1
W dogs. 8 mill's, south, and the computation
was perhaps near enough.
Tins business ended, I went te the cook
house te prepure dinner, and the first object
I saw wusTassard flat uien his face near the
deer that opened into the cabin. He groaned
when I picked him up which I managed
without much exertion of strength, for be
much had he shrunk that I dare say mero
than half his weight lay in his clothes and
set him upon his bench w ith his back te the
dresser. I put my mouth te his ear and
reared, "Are you hurti" His head nodded
as if he understood me, but I question if he
did. He was the cempletcst picture of old
age that you could imagine. I fetched a
couple of spears fiem the arms room, and,
cutting them te his height, put ene in each
hand, that he might keep himself prepped;
nud while my own dinner was broiling I
made him a unra of broth, with which I led
him, for new that he had the sticks he would
net let go of them. But iu any cose I doubt
if his trembling hand could lune lifted tue
spoon te his lips without capsizing the eon
tents down his beard.
With seme small Ueaef rallying the old
villain, I mixed him a ery stilt bumper of
brandy, which he supped down out of my
hand with the utmost u Tdity. The draught
seen worked in him, anil he began te mero
his head about, seeking me In his blind way,
and then cried, in his broken notes, "I have
lest the m of my legs, nnd cannot walk.
Mether of Ued, what shall I de! Oh, holy
St. Antonie, w hat is te become of mol"
I guessed from this that, impelled by habit
or seme small spur of reason, he had risen te
go en deck, and had fallen. He w ent en va va
eoring pitifully, gazing with sufficient 6tead
fastness te let me understand that his vision
recch ed something of my eutline, though he
would fli his eyes either te the left or right
of me, as though he wns net able te see if he
looked straight; nnd this, and his mournful
cackle, and his nodding head, bowed form,
prepped hands nud diminished face, made
him as distressful and melancholy a picture
of Time as ever mortal roan viewed. He
broke off in his rambling te ask for mero
brandy, taking it for granted that I was still
in the cook room, for I never spokeand I
filled a can for him, and as before held it te
his mouth, which he opened wide a piece of
behavior which went te show that seme of
hi wits still hung loeso upon him. This
was n strong dose, and, co-operating with the
ether, seen seized held en his head, and pres
ently he began te laugh te himself and talk,
and even breke iuteasta6 or two seme
French song, which he delivered in a veice
like the squeaking of a rat, alternating with
the grewliug of a terrier.
I guess his stumbling upon this old French
catch (which I took it te bufcrem seeing him
feebly flourish ene of his sticks, na if inviting
a chorus) put him upon sjieaking his own
tongue altogether, for though he continued
te chatter with all the volubility his breath
would permit during the whole time I sat
eating, net ene word of 1'nghshdid bespeak,
and net ene word, therefore, did I under
stand. Boeing hew it must be with him pres
ently, I brought his mattress nnd rugs from
his cabin, ami liad scarce laid them down
when he let fall ene of his sticks and dropped
ever. I grasped bim, and, partly lifting,
partly fcauljng, & bJ") en, hjj VMi end
covered nun up. la a tew minutca be was
asleep.
I trust I shall net be deemed Inhuman if I
cenf ess that I heartily wished his end would
coma If he went en living he premised te
be an Intolerable burden te me, being- qulte
helplcs. Besides, he was much tee old for
this world, in which a manwhe reaches the
age of 00 Is pointed te as a sort of wonder.
Nothing worth recording happened that
day. The wind slackened, and ttie loe trav
eled se slew that at sundown I could net dis
cover that we had made mero than a quarter
of a tnile of progress te the north sinconeon,
though we had settled by half as much again
that distance westward.
I had net closed my eyes en the previous
night, and was tired out when the evening
arrived; and as no geed could comeof my
keeping a watch, for the simple reason that
it was net In my power te avert anything
that might happen, I tumbled seme further
covering ever the Frenchman, who had lain
en the deck all the afternoon, sometimes
deslnir, Mmctlme waking and talking te
himself, and appearing en the whele very
easy and comfortable, and went te my cabin.
I slept sound the whele night through, and
n waking went en deck before going te the
cook house and lighting the furnace (as was
my custom) se Impatient was I te observe our
state, and te hear such news as the ocean
had for me. It was after S a very curious
day, somewhat darkseme, nnd a dead cahn,
with a large, long swell out of the southeast.
The sky was full of cleud9, with a steeping
appearance in the hang of them that re
minded you of the belly of a hammock;
they were of a sallow brown, very uncom
mon; seme of them round about sipped the
aea line, and-their shadows, obliterating
these parts of the cincture which they over
hung, broke the continuity of the horizon as
though there were valleys in the ocean there.
A geed part of our bed of ice was gene at
least a fourth of it; but the schooner still lay
as strongly fixed as before. I hail ceme te
the deck half expecting te find her afloat
from the regular manner of her heaving, and
was bitterly disappointed te discover her
rooted as strongly iu ever in the ice, though
the irritation softened when I noticed hew
the bed had diminished. The mass, with the
ship upon it, rese and sank, with the slug
gish, squatting motion of a wr.ter legged ves
sel. It was en odd sensation te my legs after
their long rest from such cxercise! The heav
ing satisfied me that the base of the bed did
net go deep, but at the seme time it was all
tee solid for me, I could net doubt; for, had
the sheet been as thin as I had hoped it, it
must have given under the weight of the
schooner and released her.
I went below and get about lighting the
flre. The Frenchman lay very quiet, under
as many clothes as would All a half dozen of
sacks. It was bitterly cold sharper in the
cook heuse than I had ever remembered it;
and I could net conceive why this should be,
until I recollected that I had forgotten te
close the companion hatch bofero going te
bed. I prepared seme broth for iny com
panion, and dressed seme ham for myself,
and ate my breakfast, supposing he would
meanwhtle awnke. But after sitting seme
time and observing that he did net stir, a
suspicion flashed into my mind; I kneeled
down, and, clearing his face, listened. He
did net broathe. I brought the lantern te
hlm;buthlscountenance had been se changed
by his unparalleled emergence from a state of
middle life into cxtrcrae eldj age he was se
puckered,, hollowed, gaunt, his features se
distorted by the great weight of bis years
that I was net te knew him dead by merely
viewing bim. I threw the clothes off him,
listened at his mouth breathlessly, felt his
hands, which were I rnl.l rtaml Im1nuti
thought I. Oreat Father, 'tis thy willl And
I rese very slowly and steed surveying the
ilent figure with an emotion that owed its
inspiration partly te the several miracles of
vitality I hed beheld in him during our asso
ciation, and te a bitter feeling of loneliness
that swelled up in me.
Dead UuUcdl thought I.
Yes, I had feared nnd detested this man;
but his quick transformation and silent, dark
exit affected me, and I looked down upon
him sadly. Yet, te be perfectly candid with
you, I recollect that, though it occurred te
me te test if life was out of him by bringing
him close te the flre and chaflng him und
giving hira brandy, I would net stir. Ne, I
would net have moved a finger te recover
him, even though I should have been able te
de be by merely putting him te the f urnace.
He was dead, and there was an end; nnd
without further ado I carried him into the
ferecastle nnd threw a hammock ever him,
mid left him te He there till there should
ceme clear water te the ship te sorve him for
a travel.
