assuring' touch of Clive's' hand to
make me realize . the fact .that we
were bidding farewell to the k ‘ , old
country. But so it was; and though
my heart was sore at - parting fro m,
my uncle, yet that sorrow was 'dan
gled with so much 'happiness that I
fear that I did not think enough of
his pain.
The days klided by; 'even as the
great ship glided past the shores of
the old` country, said min we had
seen the last of the great rock-point
which they told me was The :"Lizard,
and then we were at sea.
Had I been a queen, I could not
have had more attention paid me;
the captain, mates, and even the
humblest sailor always had a smile
for me; and as we reached in time
the hotter regions, there was always
a summons, and -the best place - re
served for poor litVe me, whenever

WM in sight.
The days grew into weeks, and
with almost invariably pleasant wea
ther the ship sailed on. There seem
ed no danger —nothing to appre
hend; and as I sat with the , cool
breeze fanning my cheeks, all, the
perils of the sea of which I bad read
seemed so distant and, impossible,
that I could hardly believe the gent
ly rippling waves, and the soft cloud
flecked sky could, possibly be guilty
of cruelties of which we often
hear.
At last, though, came a cloud, and
that cloud seemed to settle upon my
husband's brow. I asked him the
reason, and lie unwillingly told' me
that it was on account of the vessel
It was upon one soft tropical even
it,:tg that; I 'elicited that response from
him, and: as .he
,spoke he drew me
closer to - him as we leaned over the
side, lookin ,, dowu at -the glittering
starlight rAected from the dark bo
som of the sea.
" Darling," he jiid, " if' yeti' had
_not - zisked me, I should not have told
you; but I cannot bring Myself to
seem wailtiiii* in confidence. Have

Webster Ni: Green ?".
"They - have seemed a little more

plied. H
"In the . cabin—yes; but when on

' "Ominous?"
" Yes;llove. Three days ago, one

,and again; yesterday, four meni were
pumping all daftill evening; to-day,
it was commenced at day-break, and
orders-have, I know, been given that
it-is to be kept , up'allnight.'
" Are you keeping anything from
me, Clive ?" I said gently. "Am I not
to share the trouble as well as the
happiness of lifey" •
" Trouble, little orte,2-' ~ he - said,
" trouble ought never to come near
you."
",Buta shoUld not be happy if I

" Beaten with my own weapons,"
he sized` ightly;l and then, in an un

about the vessel."
" But why,' said L " What is

"Look along the deck, find tell me

Clive \as silent.
-" What makes you uneasy, then 2"
I asked isiftr a while.
"-We are ti thousand miles from
any land, and\the ship has sprung a
very bad leak.'
I was only avi\eak-,girl then, and
very young, so that perhaps my emo
tion may be 'excuied; for I felt a
strange catching of nsty breath, and is
sense of dread stealing ,over me; but
I tried hard to masterlt 'all, . and I

Aye stayed!on deck listening to the
clanking noise of the pumps, and the
ripplifig splash of the water as it,raii
over the side; but when morning
broke it was evident that the danger
was not lessened. The captain look
ed pale and anxious, and there was
a' sullen, disosiiitented 'look 'about
the men, who could only with diffi

their work.of pumning. About mid
day;lhey broke out in open mutiny;

Three more men came out of the
little group and followed the bluff old
_sailor to where the ; captain and the
mates were standing in front of us;
but the rest of the crew west on stol
idly placing water and provisions in
a couple of the boats, • and •at last
launched them, and were. about to
push off without a word, when Cap
tain Webster threw them in a com
pass and gave them directions as to
which_course to steer. '
,Five minutes after they were., row=
ing swiftly away, when for • the first
time Clive . spoke:
"Is thar' e‘no chance for saving-the
vessel, Captain Webster ?" '
" No, sir," was the reply; " not the
slightest. In two hou.rashe will hive
- gone do,wn." •
• I shivered as I heard these words;
but I tried to smile as Clive glanced
around at me; and then, for the next
hoar, busy preparations for leaving
the vessel were carried - on.
The boat left was large and roomy,
and upon its being launched, sails
and masts and cordage were placed
inside, with quite a heavy store of
water and provisions,' every man
working hard, and though they smiled
at my efforts, I ran backwards and
forivards from the cabin, carrying ne
cessaries for our UB6. -
But at last all was declared to be
in readiness, and I was lowered over
the side. Clive quickly , took his place
with me in the boat, where there I
were already the four sailors; then 1
came the two mates, and lastly the
captain.
" You bear witness, gentlemen,"- he
•said, ".that I left nothing undone,
and it, was not "untilevery c, tYort had
failed that I left my ship." He would'
have , aid more, but sornethingwhich
caught his eye made him shout bathe
1 men to seize
.their oar s, . mad then, al
together, they rowed hard away from
the ship's side.
At first I did not know why this
was done, but I soon saw that it was
to avoid the vortex which 'the sink-,
ins vessel would cause; for, before
five minutes had elapsed, the great
ship began to roll slowly from side
to side—and then, in spite of myself,
uttered a. cry as ,it gave a plunge
forward and seemed to dive down out
of sight leaving its alone upon the
surfac4 l. of the great waters.
TRe night/ came on, and passed
slowly away, affecting us all with a
deep feeling of awe as we thought of
the frail defense We had against death.
To us the vast ocean,-heaving sosloNV-
ly and regularly beneath, seemed then
like the threshold of eternity; and I
know that I trembled as I dung to
prior Clive's arm, in spite of klis en
couraging words. But very little was
said that night, and I know that no
one slept; but we all sat wafaing
and longing for the morning.
At another time I could have re
mained rapt with wonder and joy at
the glorious sunrise, which flooded
the whole surface of thesea with or
ange and gold; but there was a sense
of'the great solitude opprec.sing me
always, as around me were the pale,
haggard faces of the men, who knew
the periloliestrait in 'which we lay.
As the morning broke, though, the
captain rose up in the bows and stood
looking around' in every direction, to
try if he could make bat where the
other boats were; but though,* tried
again and again, he could see noth
ing, and we, felt that we were alone.
It' was not a . tiine for repining, how,
ever, and every man set busily to
work arranging such things as we
had in the. boat; then little mast
was set up and a sail hoisted, which
the soft breeze gently filled, and the
boat began -to go lightly over the
swell. After a short, consultation the
captain determined to sail for the is
land of Ainsterdam, a !tiny speck in
mid-ocean, but a place that might
prove eleven of refuge until a pass
ing vessel could, take us off; for,
though at the present time the sea
andpky wriS serene and bright, we
did not knowhow soon a' storm might
arise to engull our frail little boat.
One, two, three day we . sailed on,
and then came a change, a fierce gale
'mummies. or
lowing frdm the very, direction ,in
which our island lay. First, the sky
b \ c\ame black with clouds, while the
sea, I.ccafue white and' foaming, the
waves each moment s.nrling , up more
and more fiercely, till they beat
against the' sides awl splashejl bVer.
Ihe boat's course was altt:red, the
sail lowered all but a tiny portion,
and then, the little vessel began to
ride swiftly over the waves, now leap
ing up a. great hill of water, hanging
balanced on _the foamy ridge, and
then plunging and gliding down in
to,a-depth from which it seemed. im
possible that we Could ever rise. Then
came a time when every one except
the captain, who sat pale and stern,
steering the boat, began to bail out
the water which- constantly dashed
, ever the sides. 'given I would }have
I helped, bnt every one smiled and
tried - to make the part of the boat '1

up a poitionof the sail, so as to screen
me from the spray, which was non
icy cold. ".
It might be thought that in such a
time of trouble men would have been
-moved by 'selfish thoughts; but it was
not so, for-again and again it seemed
to me that'll was made the first Con
sideration. When biscuit and water,
or Wine were passed around,lreceiT
ed always \ the first share; and all
through that2wild and fearful " time,
even the roughest sailor there was
ready to show me.respect, andAry to
do some little act to . prove his willing

feeling that our hid hour had come.
The opinion caused by this and.

two of the niece plrmged• overboard

But the voice, of Captain Webster re
assured us,. Ara i iny of "fatigue,

It was two days, though, before the

upon his lip, 31r.' Green, the first
mate, owned to his weakness, he per

inllriniting dowately the draught. 1
that should hasten his end; for soon
he grew delirious', starting as if spo-

to alter the ,direction of the boat's
head; while, when a couple of sailors
tried to restrain him, their weakness
was such that he thrust them aside,
and they sank biek in their places,
helplessly gazingat him as he climb
ed dyer the boat's thwarts, pushed
the rope which. held , the sail aaide, 1
and muttering angrily, trampled up- 1 1

was steering. Clive tried to atay,him,
and in spite, of iny effort to restrain
it I uttered a scream, for. the poor'
creature seemed to catch his foot in
my dress, and before we were aware
of it he made a'.larch sideways and
Jell heavily into the Water.
For a moment we were all petri
fied, but the captain altered the boat's
course and ran back to the spot where
the Mate had diaappeared, but though
we ran to and frp for some time, and 1
every eye was gazing intently upon
the limpid water, we saw no more of
the poor mate, and for the rest of the
evening I sat with my head bowed'
down on my knees, praying that help
'might come. ;

to speak; but my month aqui parched
and dry. I looked around for help,
but it was only to gaze on four im
passive stony figures, whose I fixed
1 and heavy eyes responded not to my
, appeal. 'There was a smile; though,'
upon poor dive's face as he felt ' my
arms clasp hire, and slipping from
his, seat, lower and lower, he--sat at
:last in the bottpm of the boat- with
his head restine. e' upon my breast,
while the sigh Ofcontent that he gave
sent a shudder through me, for my
heart whispered that it was his last.
"Throw some water in his face—
moisten his hair," whispered a'harsh
voice, which I Aid not recognize as
the captain'ts; but I tried 'to
,obey it,
and- bathed my husband's forehead,
though apparently without effect, for
he lay motionless, his arms lightly
circling me, and his eyes half closed;
and then , it was that with my bodily
power'momentarily growing weaker,
my mental. faCulties seemed to be
come more active, and niy tears fell
fast as I thought' how hard it was for
him, so young, and brave; to die thus
early. At times I asked myself wheth

OUR HANDs.—The human hand is
so beautifully formed, it has so fine, a
sensibility, that, sensibility governs
its motions so correctly, every *nit
of the will is answered 'instantly; as
if the hand itself were: 'the seat of
that will; its actions are so, free, so
powerful, anayet so. 4elicate, that it
seems to possess a 'qnatity , instinct
in itself, and we use it as AVO draw
our breath, tulconscionsly, and have
lost all recollection of the feeble and
ill-directed efforts of its first exercise,
by which it has been. perfected. , In
the hands are twenty-nine bones;
from the mechanism pf which result
strengthonobility and elasticity. On
the length, strength, free hitcal
mo
tion, and,, perfect mobility •of . the
thumb, depends the power of th e'
laand, its strength being equal to that
of all the fi ngers. Without. t h e fleshy
ball of the thumb, the power of the
fingers would avail nothing; and ac
cordingly the large ball formed by
the muscles of- the thumbs, is the,
distinguished character of the hUman
hand.

forbidden their father's house, and s

a child is so bad that-his influence is

when a father, in a fit 0,7 anger, dis

hecommits a crime which the la*
