It appear that the ship ''lirittsn

lare quantity of Spanish dollars a
freight. They wore packed ia barrels
od is soon as ibe s.iip struck, a num
ber of these barrels were brought 011

might bo suved ; but soon it waa dis
covered that the veel was sinking
so very fast, that tho only bopo for
the crew was in taking at ooco to the
boats, Tbe last boat was about to
push off, whon a midhipmun rushed
back to see if any ono was at ill 00
boird. To bis surprise, there eat a
man eo dock with a batobet in his
bead, with which he bad broken open

satisfied nod toward the glittering
hesps.
I tell you tbe ship csnoqt bold to

tbe midshipman, lookiog back at bim
from tbe vessel' edge. " Quick, you
can yet bo saved 1"
" Not without leaviog my gold I"
roared baok tbe man, glaring wildly at
bim. " Oo yeur waya."
Tbe bo'at-loi'd Would wiit no longer,
and be was loft to bla fate, in a few
