CHAPTER XXV.
THE SCnOOSXB PIUEEB RXRSILP.
All day long tbe weather remained sullen
end ttUl, and tbe swell powerful. IniM
deck at neon, looking at an Iceberg halt
league distant, when it overset, tt wii a
matiU berg, though large compared With saeet
of the ethers; yet such a mighty volume of'
foam boiled up as gare me a startling Idea
of Uie prodigious weight efth anas "The
sight tnade me very anxious about my own
state ; and te satisfy my mind I apt upon the
ice and walked round the vessel, and te get
a true view of her posture went tetha ex
treme end of the rocks beyond her bows; ami
Anally came te the conclusion (hat; MppeP
lng the Ice should crumble away from her
sides se as te cause the weight of the ichneBer
te render It top heavy, Iter buoyancy", ea'
touching the water, would certainly tear her
keel out of tU frosty setting and leave her
floating. Indeed, se sure was I of this that
I saw, next te the ice splitting and freeing
her in that way, the best thing that could
happen would be its capsizal.
I regained the ship, and hed paused atf In
stant te leek ever the side, when I perceived
the very block of ice en which I had come
te a halt break from the bed with a smart
clap of noise, and completely roll ever. Only
a minute befere had I been standing en' it,
and thus had sixty seconds steed between me
and death; for most certainly, must I have
been drowned or. killed by being beaten
against the ice by the swelli I fell upon my
knees and lifted up my hands in gratitude te
Ged, feeling extraordinarily comforted by
this further mark of His care of tne.'ahd very
strongly persuaded that he designed I should
come oft with my life after all, since his
provldence would net work be many miracles
for my .preservation if I was te perish by
thlsad venture.
These thoughts did mera for ray spirits
than I can well express; and the intolerable
sense of loneliness was mitigated by the
knowledge- that I was watched, and therefore,
net alone.
The day passed I knew net hew. The
shadow as of a tempest hung in the air, but
never a cat's-paw did I sce te blur the rolling
mirror of the ocean. The bidden, sun sank
out of the breathless sky, tingeing the atmos
phere with a faint hectic, which quickly
yielded te the deepest shade of" blackness.
The mysterious, desperate, silence, however,
that en deck weighed oppressively en every
esnse, as something false, menacing, and ma
lignant in these seas, was qualified below by
peculiar straining noises in the schooner'
held, caused by the twinging of the ice upon
, the swell I was tery uneasy; I dreaded a
gale. It was impossible but that' the vessel
must quickly go te pieces in a heavy sea upon
the Ice if she did net liberate herself. But
though this excited a depression melancholy
enough, nothing else that I can recollect
contributed te it. When I roviewed the apt
prehensien the Frenchman had raised, and
reflected, hew insupportable a burden he
must have become, I was very well satisfied'
te be alene. Tfme had fortified me; Iliad
passed through experiences .se surprising,
encountered wonders se preternatural, that
superstition lay asleep in my' soul, and I
found nothing te occasion in me the least
uneasiness in thinking of the lifeless, shriv
eled figure, of what was just new a fierce,
cowardly, untamed villain lying in the fore
castle. I made a geed supper, built up a large fire,
and mixed myself a hearty bowl of punch,
net with the view of drowning; my anxieties
Ged forbid! I was tee grateful for the
past,' tee expectant of the future, te be capa
ble of se brutish a felly but that I might
keep myself in a cheerful posture of mind;
when I was terrified by an extraordinary
loud explosion, that burst se near and rang
with such a prodigious clear note of thunder
through the schooner that' I vow te Ged I
believed the gunpowder belev had blown up.
And in this suspicion I honestly supposed
myself right for a moment for en running
Inte the cabin I was dazzled by a crimson
flame that clothed the whole interior with a
wondrous gush of fire; but this being In
stantly followed by such another clap as the
ether, I understood a thunder storm had
broken ever the schooner.
Jt was exactly overhead, and that' ac
counted for the violence of the crashes,
which were indeed se extreme that they
sounded rather like the splitting of enormous
bodies of ice close te than the flight of elec
tric belts. The hatch lay open; I ran en
deck; but scarce had passed my head through
the companion when down come a storm of
hall, every stene as big as a pigeon's egg;
and In all my. time I never heard a mere hell
lsn clamor. There was net a breath of air.
The hail fell in straight lines, which the
fierce near lightning flashed up into the ap
pearance of giant harpstrings, en which the
block hand of the night was playing these'
heavy notes of thunder. I sat in the shelter
pf the companion, very anxious and alarmed,'
for there was powder enough In the held te
blew, the ship into atoms; and the lightning
played se continuously and piercingly that it
was like a hundred darts of tire, violet, crim
son, and sun colored, in the grasp of spirits
who thrust at tbe sea', all ever its face, with
swift movement of the arms, as though
searching for the schooner te spear her.
The hail storm ceased as suddenly as it had
burst. I stepped en te the deck, and observed
that the sterra was settling into the north
east, whence I concluded that what draught
that might be up there sat in the southwest.
J"or was I mistaken, for half an hour after
the first of the outburst, by which time, the
lightning played weak and at long intervals
low down, and the thunder had ceased, I felt
crawling of air coming out of the south
west, which presently briskened into a small,
steady blowing, but net for long. It fresh
ened yet and yet; the wrinkles crisped into
whiteness en the black hearings; they grew
Inte small surges, with sharp, cubbish snarl
ings, prcludieus of the lien's voice, and by 10
o'clock it was blowing in strong squalls, the
sea rising, and the clouds sailing swiftly in
smoke colored rags under the stars, i
The pesture of the ice inclined the schoon
er's starboard bow te the billows, and iu a
very short time she was trembling in every
bone te the blew9 of tbe surges which rolled
boiling ever the ice there and struck her,
flinging dim clouds of spume in the air, which
seen set the scuppers gushing. My case was
that of a stranded ship, with this difference
enly: that a vessel ashore lies solid te the
beating of the waves, whereas the ice was
buoyant ; it rese and fell, sluggishly, it is true,
and se somewhat mitigated the severity of
the shocks of water. But, spite of this, I was
perfectly sure that unless the bed broke un
der her or she slipped off it, she would be in
pieces befere the morning. It was net in any
hull put together by human hands te resist
tbe pounding of these seas. The weight of
the mighty ocean, along whose breast they
raced, was in them, and though the wind was
no mero than a brisk gale, each blilew by its
stature showed itself the child of a giantess.
Tbe Ice bed was like a whirlpool with the
leap and flash and play of the froth upon It.
The black air of the night was whitened by
the storms of foam flakes which flew ever the
vessel. The rearing of the broken waters in
creased the horrors of the scene. I firmly
believed my time was ceme. Ged had been
merciful, but I was te die new. As te mak
ing any shift te keep myself alive after tha
ship should be broken up, the thought never
entered my head. What could I dot There
was no beat I might have contrived some
arrangement of booms and casks te serve as a
raft, but te what purpese? Hew long would
it take tbe wind and sea te freeze met
I crouched in the companion way, hearken
ing te the uproar around, feeling the convul
sions of tbe schooner, fully prepared for
death, dogged and hopeless.
On a sudden in a breath I felt the vessel
rise. Sbe was swung up with the giddy
velocity of a hunter clearing a tall gate; she
sank again, and there was a mighty concus
sion forward, then a pause of steadiness while
you might have counted five, then a wild up
ward heave, a sort of sharp floating fall, a
harsh grating along her keel and sides, as
though she was being smartly warped ever
rocks, followed by an unmiitakabls titft
pitching and rolling motion.

was seml-deUrieM, and havlag sat se leaf
with death's head la tntae, was I a palm
ately defeat snood, with a peafect rag of
scorn of peril in tee, and I walked right ea te
the forecastle, giving tha flying sheet of
water there no heed. la a mlnatea block of
sea tumbled epos aw and left me breathless;
thelchMMeMt cooled say naiad's beat, but
net my roselnsloa. IwasdetermiaedteTadce
asbeatlceaU by the light of the foam of
what bad happened, and holding en tena
ciously te whatever came te my hand, and
progressing step by step, I get te the fore
castle and looked ahead.
Where the ice was the water tumbled in
milk; t was four or five ship's lengths distant,'
aid I could distinguish no mere than that I
piered ever the lee bow, but could e be ice.
Tha vessel had gene clear;' hew, I knew net,
and can never knew; but my own fancy Is
that she split the bed with her ewa weight
when the sea rose aad threw tfce Ice up; f or
she' had floated en a sudden, aad the neisea
which attended her release indicated that ska
had been forced through a channel.
; I returned aft, barely escaping a second
deluge, and looked ever tha quarter; be lea
was there visible te me. The vessel rolled
horribly, and I perceived that tha bad a de
cided list te starboard, the result of the shift
ing of what' was in her when the ice came
away from the main with her; and it was
this heel that brought the tea washing ever
the bow. I took held of the tiller te try it,
but either the helm was frozen immovable,
or the rudder jammed in its gudgeons, or la
some ether fashion fixed.
Had she been damaged below f was she
taking in water I X knew her te be se thickly
sheathed with ice that, unless it had been
scaled off in placet by the breaking of her
bed, I had little fear (until this covering
melted or dropped oft by the working of the
frame) of the hull net proving tight I
should have been coated with iee myself had
I stayed but a little longer in my wet clothes
. in that piercing wind; se I ran below, and
bringing an armful of clothes from my cabin
te the cook room, was very seen in dry at
tire, and making an extraordinary figure, I
don't question, in the buttons, lace, and frip
peries of the old fashioned garments.
t, Meanwhile, I was crazy te ascertain if the
schooner was taking in water. If there was
a; sounding red in the ship I did net knew
where te lay my bands upon it But he is a
peer sailor who it slew at substitutes. There
were several spears In the arms room (pirati
cal plunder, no doubt) with mere spikes for
heads, like these weapons used by the Caff ers
and ether tribes in that country; they were
formed of a hard heavy weed. I took a
length of ratline line and secured it te ene of
these spears, and carried it en deck with the
powder room bull's eye lamp; but when I
probed the sounding pipe I found it .full of
ice, and as it was impossible te draw the
pumps I flung my ingenious sounding red
down in a passion of grief and mortification.
Yet was I net te be beaten. Such was my
temper, had the devil himself confronted me
I should have' defied him te de his worst, for
I had made up my mind te weather him out
I entered the forecastle, lantern in 'hand,
pried open the batch, and dropped Inte" the
held. It needed an experienced ear te detect
the sobbing of internal waters amid tha
yearning gushes, the long gurgling washings,
the thunderous blows, and shrewd rain like
hissings of the seas outside.. X listened with
strained hearing for some minutes, but dis
tinguished no sounds te alarm me with as-'
surance of water in' the held. I' could net
s mistake. I hearkened' with all' my might,
but the noise was outside. I thankedQed
very heartily, and get out of theTjeld'ahd
put the batch en.' There was no. need te go
aft and listen. The schooner was by the
head, and there could be no water la the run
that would net be forward tee.
Being reassured in respect of the stanch
nest of the hull, I returned te the fire and
proceeded te equip myself for a prolonged
watch en deck; While I was drawing en a
great pair of beets I heard a knocking in" the
after part of the vessel. I supposed she had
drifted into a little field of broken lee: and
that she would go clear presently, and I fin-
i isbed arming myself for the weather; but the
knocking continuing I went, into the cabin,
where I heard it very plain, and walked at
far at the lazaretto hatch, where I steed lis
tening. The noises were a kind of irregular
thumping, accompanied by a peculiar grind
ing sound. In a moment I guessed the truth,
rushed en deck, and by the dun light in the
