The black object now looked like the stern of a . vessel witt.se bull lay there. suddenly Rimmer - struck me again and pointed upward. Following the direction of his hand, I looked up, and. saw .the upper surface otthewater all foamy and in motion. There was a momentary thrill through my heart, but it passed over.

Each one had sprung from his chair at, the Shock of the' sinking ship, and With, one 'common emotion, all started 'for the:: door. But the waters of the sea bad been too swift for them. Lo! then—some wit. graiping the table, others the beams, others ` the aides of the cabin—there they all stood. Near the doorwas a crowd of people, heap ed' upon one another—some on the floor,oth ers rushing over them—all seeking - madly to igain the outlet. There was ono who sought to clamber over the table, and still was there holding on to the iron post. So Strong was each convulsive grasp, so fearful the struggle Sof each with death, that their hold had not . Yet deen relaxed; but each one stood and looked frantically to the door. To the door--good God ! To me, to me they were looking. They were glaring at me all those dreadful. thixe 'terrible , eyes ! in which:the fut of life had been displaced by the chilling gleam of death. Eyes which still glared like the eyes of a maniac, with no expression. , :Tbev froze me with their cold andicy stare. 'They had no meaning for the soul had gone. And' this made it Still more horrible than it could have .' been in life ; for the appalling contortion of their faces, expressing fear, horror, despair, and whatever'else the human soul. may feel, cdn trasting with the cold and glassy eyes; made their vacancy yet more - fearful. He upon the 'table seemed more fiendish than the rest, fdr his long, black hair was and ar.d floating horribly "down, and his beard and moustache all loosened by the wafer, gave him the grimness of i demon. I heeded not the dangerous sea; which even when we touched the steamer, hid slightly rolled. Down in these awful depths the swell would not be very strong, unless it should increase with tell fold . fury' above.— Butjt had been increasing, though I bad not noticed, it, and the motion of the waters began to be felt in these. abysses. Suddenly the steamer was rocked and itiaken by the C swell. -r4 At this the hideous formsftere shaken and fell. The heaps of peaple d ., Tolled asunder.— That. demon on the table seemed to make a spring towards me. I fled, shrieking—all were after me, I thotight.: I.rushed out with no purpose but to escape. I thought to throw off my weights and rise. My weights could not be loosened—l pull ediat them with frantic exertions ,but could not loosen them, the .iorn faitening bad grown stiff. One of them .I wrested off in my, convulsive efforts, but the - others still kept mel down. The Lebo. also, was lying sulti doc'n in my passage way through the Ma rooms. I did not know this until I had sled my strength, and almost my hope, in vain efforts to loosen the weight, and still the 'I horror of that scene in the cabin rested upon me. Where was. Rifnmer ! The thought flash ed across me. ll* was not here. He had, returned. Two. weights lay near, which seem ed thrown off in terrible haste. Yes Rimmer had 'gone. - .I looked up; there lay the boat, rolling and tossing among the waves. I rushed down into the machine loom ' to go back 'to to to loosen my tube. I had gone through the passages carelessly, and this lay there, for it was unrolled from above as I went on. I went back in haste to extricate myself; I could stay here no longer; for if all the gold in Golconda was in the vessel, I would not stay in company with the dreadful dead ' Back—fear lent wings to my feet.
