A m i: i. at sr i.
It wa fearful night at sea, and
the wild winds howled in furry, and
the road wavci 1 allied themoelves into
a tumultuous chaoi, at if the tempest
mid the occasion were rivals, each
striving to prove the greatest power of
destruction. ' ' i ,
Yet through the long, anxious hours
of the stormy night the brave echooner
Idle Waif nobly breasted the fury of
the gale, her officers hoping against
hope almost, that (he would be able to
survive the terrible dangers through
which abe was struggling.
A month before, she had failed 6p
ea ker voyage to Vew : York from a
Routh American port, and among her
Easinngert was her owner Robert Gra
am, of the wealthy firm of Graham
A Co.. accompanied by hia wife and
daughter Conuua, a lovely maiden of
i. ..L i ,
eiguieen, accompiiaoea, purs' in
thought, and aa innocent aa a. ohild.
Mr. and Mrs. Uraham idolized their
only child, aud when tho father, found
tliat lie bad to visit South America on
business for the firm, Corinne at onoe
begged to accompany him, and, yield'
ing to bcr entreaty, a lew days alter
found the mother and daughter com
fortably "at home," in' the commodi
ous cabin of the Idle Waif, a large
three masted echooner, ably ' com
manded and with sn efficient crew, . .
' The captain of the Idle Waif wan a
man of about thirty-five, and of stern
nature. He had a man-of-war manner
with his crew, which he had acquired
when an ouicer in the tuglisu navy,
from which, it haJ been said, he was
dismimcd in discrace. for allowiue a
lavcr, when it was coitain, bad he not
been torlbbed, he could have captured
the craft trading id human flesh,
. At any rate, bo waa an able eom
mauder, and the five years' he had
beno in the service, of Graham & Co.,
Captain Hart ' WoodrufT had proved
himself most trustworthy irTVery re
spect. - j,
Tho' first PHU of the Ule Waif was
a young man of twenty -five, -who' had
become an "officer of 'the' schooner
while she was in South America,' In
place of the mate, who bad resigned
to accept the captaincy of a vessel of
fered bjm.' :-',: - . . ;
Gervaisa WUde had oflWed to take
the place of the resigned officer.' but
he fraobiy told Uraliam he could oner
no testimonials aa to his character and
ability ; that he was an American
a Blarylandor had been for seven
years an officer in the United States
Isbtt, from which he had resigned in
a foreign port, fur reasons he did not
care to mention.
Mr. Graham gared into the strange
ly handsome faca of the man i before
him, beheld the dark, fearless eye for
moment, and then glancing' at the
Blight but elegant figure, replied:
f "I will trust yoo, hlrt lYDJc. Go
aboard the schooner as soon A3 possi

.,The Idle Waif sailed ,. upon her
homeward bound voyage, and it ' was
evident to all on board that no better
seaman than ' Gervaise ' Wilde ever
tred a vessel's deck f and yet between
him and the c&ptaiu there iu.accr
tain restraint. From the first of the
home trip Hart Woodruff had treated
his first officer ''with an overbearing
majaoer noticeable to al), and which
the mate received wita eoid at. a4if
fvreut politenesB. : .- m ' - ' c '
Corinne Grajiam narrowly1 watched
the two officers, and her woman'a eye
soon read the secret cause: of the cap
Iain's feeling toward his matQVtMtwas
jeaMusy;- lor' liart Wooiirnn Jiad
from the first loved the. maiden, and
seeing that she accepted the polite and
gentlemanly attention cf Qepraisa
with a reeling of pleasure, . ha deter
mined to rid himself of a roan he be
lieved his rival.
On sailed the . noble vessel until
wheu neariug the waters of the gulf, a
terrible storm burst upou her, and in
creasing toward night, (hreatpned her
with destruction.
Bravely did the crew siand at their
Eosib, and twice during the night did
lervaise ascend the riecinir, when
fi99 hearts hesitated, aud socuoly
turl some sail that the wind bad torn
from its sastenincrs.
. Mr, . Grabam, with Lis wifo Hd
Corinne, had ascended to the deck,
and were grouped togethe. anxiously
watching the black olorni and raging
ocean, while at the same tinio Uiey
ppuld not but admire the cool manner
ot Oervaise, added to his daring man
uer of spriugibg ut once to every post
of danger, and the comparison drawn
between the captain and pis mate ? re
douuded to the latter's credit. ' '
Ail that human skill and courage
could do to save - the ' schooner
proved useless, for she waa dismasted,
became a wreck, aud leaking in many
places, it was found that she could no
'auger hold out agaiust the storm,
which, though abating t dayliglH,
was (.nil raging.
"There is but one course. Mr. Gra
ham. , The Louts, excepting ouc are
washed away, the schooner can remain
only a few hours afloat, so I will at
once set about building a raft which
can hold all of us," said Gervaise
turning to Mr. Graham.: i..- v '
"We are all in your hands, sir; but
what says the captain?" -
"I say," and Hart .Woodrtifr step
ped forward, "the mate ifr mistaken,
and the schooner will float - many
days. Abd yet I would expose
Mrs. and Miss Graham to r. so I
propose, that you, sir, with your wife
and daughter, accompanied by myself
and fo.ur of the crew,' take the life
boat. In two days, at least, we van
reach some of the Carribean Islands.
While Mr. Wilde, with the remainder
of the crew, can remain with the ves
sel, wVicJi, under jury masts, can be
run into the nearest port. -"A
good plan, perhaps, captain, but
as I agree with Wilde regarding the
ability ot the schooner to keep afloat
many hours, I think we had all better
trust to the taft. ' . 11
A frown passed over, the captain's
brow, which was not unnoticed, at Mr.
Graham's words, but he added :
"The schooner will not sink, sir ; the
pumps will keep her up."
i "Captain, I do pot wish to shrink
from any duty devolved on me, so I
will abide by tho decision of the men.
Call them and ask them if. thesohoon
er can be kept above WUr for half a
day," said Gervaise.
"Here, my men," called out Mr.
Graham, "come hither a moment and
give us your opinion. How long can
we keep our heads above water by re
maining on tbjs vessel f";
"A few hours,' sir, perhaps half a
day," rejoined the man, and as if sat
isfied with their answer, Mr, Graham
said : ,.,,, . V-
. "Mr. Wilde, commence the' raft at
once ; and captain, please see that our
baggage and all valuables are brought
on deck, with sufficient provisions to
last us two weoks." - ' ""
Six hours after a large and stout
raft was built which was capable of
sustaining three tunes the number on
the schooner, aud upon, it Gervaise
bad securely bound the caboose, to
serve as apartments for the ladies, and
otherwise, protect thec centre of Ate
raft in such a way as to keep the ' bag
gage and provisions secure.'" ' '-A
All being in readiness, Mr. and
Mrs. Graham, with Coiinne, got on
board, and were followed by the cap.
tain, mate and orew, and the bulwarks
amidships baring been cut away, they
waited the coming' of a wave to wat.li
the in off the schooner, whioh was sink
ing rapidly to a watery prave.
boon it came a', huge, fbam-capod
mountain of water, and ' the raft was
lifted on its shoulders and borne off
upon the Ocean,, while the ' ill-fated
schooner was buried by- the same
large wave, new more to reappear. "'
'Eight days the huge raft drifted
about on the mighty deep, and no suo
oo r coming, the larger, part of the
crew arose in mutiny, and, seizing' the
life-boat which had been brought
along, took the greater part of the
provisions and deserted' their Com
panions in distress ; but; their ,' deser
tion was not a bloodless one, for -three
of their number fell dead befoje the
unerring aim of Gervaise Wilde's pis
tol, for he stoutly resisted them fp t)ie
last.
Five more days passed, and then
itarvation stared ,' the shipwrecked
crew ia tho face, fur the provisions
and water left them by, the .deserters
had all been consumed.
Then it was that the captain, Hart
Woodruff, and the remaiuing four men
of the orew became troublesome, and
seeing that Gervaise alone could be
trusted,' Mr. Graham, with his wife
and daughter placed their only , hope
in him; and hia noble conduct won
their admiration aud Corinne's love.
'- Aaother day passed, and night set
tied again ajpojaxib -but a rull
moon arisiitgvniadc the sen 'silvery
with its light,- r ' ; . " ; ..
Huddcniy Hart Woodruff started
up from forward on the raft.,' and ac
companied by four seamen, came aft
torward Gervaise Wilde, who, seeing
their hostile advauce, whoclcd and
said stcruly :
"Back! back, I say! all of you or
I'll send a bullet into your ru'uUt."
The men hesitated, and Hart Wood
ruff exclaimed :
"Gervaise Wilde, you are the one
I seek, You have stolen from me the
love of that girl, amid iuteud to slay :
and your vile flesh shall be our fund
until succor shall reach us. We are
starving, and yet I would enjoy a love
feast alon j with yqnr body, tf Ctfiuue
Grahaij) is niiue, mine, ntiuo."
A thrill of horror mu through thoso
that heard h'm, hut Juj mate's firm
eyes never ouailod ai4 there was uo
tremor in his voice 44 he irpjicd :
"Could the sacrifice of uiysolf save
Miss ijrahaui and bur pa re u la, i(
would be freely given; but it caunut,
and if you advance upon me your life
shall pay Iho I'm left. )'uu and Cup
taiu WujJiuuh", I liar cauuul live to
gether upon this raft, so let there not be
unnecessary bloodshed ; you are armed;
the moon is bright; so take your stand
yonder on one side of the raft, while I
stand here. Let Mr. Graham give
the word, and then let tho best man
win."
"Ha. na. ha I rrladlv I accent."
laughed Hart in a tone that made his
hearers feci that Ins reason bad left
him, and in vain-' did Mr. and Mrs.
Graham and Corinne plead with Ger
vaise not to expose his life thus, but
he was determined, saying: ,
' "It is the only course, sir. The men
are wrought up by hunger to a pitch
that makes them ready for blood
shed, and as the captain ia armed we
would have no rest for him ; so give
the word, please."
"But you may be slain, Gervaine,H
and Corinne turned .her loving gate
full upon the young man, whose face
brightened as be said ;
1 "Never fear, my aim is only to true ;
Captain, are you ready ? Mr. Graham
give the word, please."
The raft rolled lasily open the ocean
and the moon shone brightly upon
the strange scene, with Mrs. Grabam
and Corinne crouching down in the
window of the caboose by which' Mr.
Graham stood ; while the four serflen,
eagerly exceptant, were grouped togeth
er forward, watching with staring ryes
their captain and his mate, as they
stoed only twelve fppt apart, calmly
waiting the word to firo wards that
must be the death knell to ouo of
them, perhaps both.
"Are yon both ready?" Suddenly
asked Mr. Graham. .1
- "Yes," came the replies.
: "fire !" and with the word the pis
tols flashed, and with a shriek hardly
human, Hart WoodrufT fell bock into
the ocean, which became his grave, . . ,
- "Mr. Wilde, are you hurt?" ex
claimed Mr. Graham, as he run for
ward,,,. ..1, . ii v ::,.'.'i '
. "Not at nil. Men, forward there
and remember, "if one of you coines
aft I will shoot him down like a dog."
. "Aye aye, sir."- answered the 1 men
thoroughly cowed, r.nd thou ono of
worn suddenly cnea outr-' 1
: "Sail, oh !"
With a glad cry, all on - tho -raft
greeted tho -appearance of a large
steamer ooroing directly down toward
tbera, and upon which they soon were
warmly welcome;! by the caplaaud
A week more and the shipwrocked
party landed in New York, aud then

Grahams aye, more, he soon after

A Western correspondent Writes as
follows : I also conversed with a love
ly squaw. It she was the lovpliest of
her sex, Lord Cornwallis help the fest.
Her knapsack differed somewhat from ,
John frown's. It was a .little war
rior about two feet ''in length. . His
mqther grew up to have a beau, ' and
he'll have a bow before he grows up.
She wore for a rediugote an old army
ovewoat, and her 'diamond, pocklaoe
was a string of tomato cans. Indians
dou't have dictionaries,.,. There is only
one word in their language it's an
oglyword. It's "ugh." Says I, "The
pale face greets the valley rose and
gives her a cordial welcome," handing
per my whisky flask for a cordial wel
come. -She drank; the whole of it,
chewed the pork, aud said "Ugh."
Says I, "Do the winds of the valley
too roughly deal with you, fuir daugh

"Ugh.". Says 1,'iDo you think it bet

Says she, "Ugh." I asked her how she
voted. She said "Ugh."

she toppled on her - chair, .knocked
over her toilet table, and decoyed the
box ia which she kept lies blushes.
She kicked arouud the floor at an
amaaing rate, and brought every body

the article referred to proposal fur fur-
