11 as a treasure to keep; we tnieht
throw it away by our own folly at any
time, but there's hundreds of times
when we may preserve it. and we nev
er know whether we can save it till
we try. Givel a drink of tbat water'
lie held the glass to my lips, and I
took a big draught and went on, he
seeming all the time to be stopping to
umor roe w my madness.
"That's better, doctor," I says.
Now look here, sir, speaking as one
as sailed the seas, it's a terrible
stormy time with me; there s a lee
shore close at hand, the fires are
rowncd out, and unless we can get up
bit ot sail there s no-chance lor me.
Now, then, doctor, can you get up a bit
of saii r .
"I'll co and send something that
will quiet you," he said, rising.
lhankey, doowr, I says, smiling
to myself. "And now look here, I'm
not going to give up till the last ; and
when that last comes, and the ship s
going down, why I shall bave a try if
1 can t swim to gaiety, ii to at laus,
and I can really feel that it is to be,
why, I hope I shall go down into the
great deep calmly, like a hopeful man;
praying that Something above will
forgive me all I've done amiss, and
stretch out His fatherly band to my
ittle ones. .
He went away and I dropped asleep,
worn out with my exertion.
Yben 1 woke, roily was standing
by the bedside watching me, with a
bottle and glass on tbe little table.
As soon as she saw my eyes open,
she shook up the stuff, and poured it
into a wine glass.
"Is that what the doctor sent?" I
says.
"Yes, dear, you were to take it di
rectly."
Alien 1 sban t take it," 1 says.
"He's give me up, and tbat stuff's on
ly to keep roe quiet. Polly, you go
awd make me some beef tea, and make
it strong." 1 - -
She was bombed, poor old girl, and
was about to beg of me to take hold
of the rotten life-belt he'd sent me,
when I held out my shaking hand for
it, took the glass, and let it tilt over
there was only about a couple or tea
spoonfuls in it, and the stuff fell on
the carpet.
I saw the tears come in ber eyes,
but she said nothing only put down
the class, and ran oat to make tbe
beef tea.
The doctor du'.n t come till late next
day, and I was lying very still and
drowsy, half asleep like, but awake
enough to hear him whisper to Folly,
"Sinking fast ;" and I heard her give
tuch a heart-broken sob that as the
next great wave came on tbe sea
where - I was floating, 1 struck out
with all my might, rose over it. and
floated gently down tbe other side,

like a true-bearted Itiiow it was like
great foaming waves coming to wash
over me, but the shore, still in sight,
and me trying bard to reach it.
And it was a grim, bard tight; a
dozen times I could have given up,
folded my arms, and said good-bye to
tbe dear old watching face sale on
shore; but a look at that always
cheered me, and I fought on again
and again, till at last tbe sea seemed
to go down, and, in utter weariness, I
turned on my back to float restfully
with tbe tide bearing me shoreward.
till I touched the sands, crept up them,
and fell down worn out, to sleep in
the warm sun safe I
That's a curious way of putting it,
you may say, but it seems natural to
me 10 mix it up wuu mo tuiugs oi sea
ling life, and tbe manner in which
've seen so many fight hard for their
lives. It is just like striving in the
midst of storm to me, and when ot
last I did fall into a deep sleep, I felt
surprised-like to find myself lying in
my own bed, with Felly watching me;
and when I etretcnea out my Dana,
and took hers, she let loose that which
she had kept hidden from me before,
and, falling on her knees by my bed
side, she sobbed for very joy.
"As much beer-lea and brandy as
you can get him to take," the doctor
says, that afternoon; and it wasn't

long beroie I got irom stops to sonus,
and then was sent, as I told you, into
the country to get strong, while the
doctor got no end of praise for tho
cure he had made.
I never said a word though, even to
Polly, for he did his beet ; but I don't
think any medicine would bave cured
me then
I was saying a little while back that
I pulled my wife regularly eut ot the
bauds of death, and of course that
was when we were both quite young,
though for the matter of that I don't
feel much different and can t well see
the change. Tbat was in one of the
Cape steamers when I first took to
stoaing. They were little raro-ehackle
sort of boats 10 those days, and bow
it was more weren't lost puzzles me,

tell you, that they used to find their
way safe to port; and yet the passen
gers, poor things, knowing no belter,
used to take passage, ay, and make a
voyage too from which they never got
bark.
Well, I was working on board a
steamer as they used to call the Equa
tor, and heavy laden and with about
twenty passengers on board, we start
ed down channel with all well, till we
got right down off the west coast of
Africa, when there came one of the
heaviest storms I was ever in. Even
for a well found steamer, such as thev
can build to-day, it would have been a
bard tight; but with our poor shaky
wooden tub, it was a hopeless case
from the first.
Our skipper made a brave fight of
il ttiouen, and tried bard to make for
one of the ports ; but, bless you, what
can a man do when, after ten days'
knocking about, the coals run out.and
tbe fires that have been kept going
with wood and oil. and everything
that can be thrust into the furnaces. are
drowned ; when the paddle-wheels are
only in the way, every bit of sail set
is blown clean out of the bolt-ropes,
and at last the ship begins to drift fast
ior a lee snore r
There was our case, and everv hour
the sea seemed to get higher, and the
wind more fierce, while I heard from
more than one man how fast the water
was going below.
My- mate and I didn't want any tell
ing though. We'd been driven up
out of the stoke-hole like a pair of
drowned rats, and I came on deck to
find the bulwarks ripped away, and
the sea every now and then leaping
aboard, and washing the lumber about
in all directions.
Tbe skipper was behaving very
well, and be kept us all at the pumps,
turn and turn in spells, but we might
as well nave tried to pump tbe sea
dry ; and when, with the water gaiu
ing fast, we told him what we thought,
he owned as it was no use, and we
gave up.
We'd all been at it, crew and pass
engers, about forty of us altogether,
including the women five of them
they were, and they were all on deck,
lashed in a sheltered place, close to
tbe poop. And very pitiful it was to
see them fighting hard at first and
clinging to the side, but only t grow
weaker, half-drowned as they were;
and I saw two sink down at last, and
hang drooping-like from their lashings,
dead, for not a soul could do them a
turn.
I was holding on by the shrouds
when the mate got to the skipper's
side, and I saw in his blank face what
he was telling him. Of course we
ceuldn't hear his words in such a
storm, but we didn't want to, for his
I lips said planly enough :
"sties sinking l"
Next moment there was a rush
made for the boats, and two of the
passengers cut loose a couple of the
women ; place was made ior them be
fore the first boat was too full, and
fIio as lowered down, cast off, and a
big wave carried her clear of the
steamer.- I saw ber for a moment on
the top of the ridge, ' and then she
plunged down the other side out of
our ngnt ana mat ot everybody
else; for bow long she lived, who- can
eayf She never was picked op or
beard of again.
Giving a bit of a cheer, . our chaps
turned to tbe next, and were getting
in when there came a wave like a
mountain, ripped her from tbe davits.
and when I shook the water from rr.y
eyes, there she was hanging by one
end, stove in, and the men who had
tried bard to launch ber gone, skip
per and mate as well.
There were only seven of us now, as
I could see beside the three women
lashed to the side, and only one of
them was alive ; and for a bit no one
moved, everybody being stunned-like
with horror; but there came a lull,
and feeling that the steamer was sink
ing, I shouted out to the boys to come
on, and we ran to the last boat, climb
ed in, and were casting off, wlieu 1
happed to catch sight of the women
lashed under the bulwarks there.
"Hold hard 1" I roars, for I saw one
of them wave ber hand.
"Come on,, you fool l' shouts my
mate, "she s going down !
I pray I may never be put to it
again like that, with all a man's sel
fish desire for life fighting against lit in.
For a moment I shut my eves, aud
then to lower; but I was obliged to
open them again, and ai I did so I
saw a wild, scared face, with long wet
hair clinging round it, and a pair of
little white hands were stretched out
to me as if for help.
"Hold hard!" I shouts.
"No, no!" roared out two or three ;
"there isn't a moment!" and as the
boat was being lowered from 'lie da
vits, I made a jump, caught the bul
warks witb my hands, and climbed
back on board, iuwt as the boat kissed
the water, was uahookedk and floated
away,

Then as I crept, hand-over hand, to
the girl's side, whipped out my knife
and was cutting bei loose, while her
weak arms clung to me, I felt a horri
ble feeling of despair come over roe,
for the boat was leaving us, and I
knew what a coward I was at heart, as
I had to fight with myself so as not to
leave the girl to ber fate, and leap
overboard to swim for my life. I got
the better of it, though went down
on my knees so as not to see the boat,
and got the poor, trembling, clinging
creature loose.
"Now, mv lass," I says, "quick 1!'
and I raised ber up ; "hold oa by th
side while I make fast a rope aronml
you."
And then I stood up to hail the
boat the boat as warn t there, for in
those brief momenta she must Lave
capeized, and we were alone on the
sinking steamer, which now lay in the
trough of the sea.
As soon as I got over the horror ot
the feeling, a sort of stony rittpuir
came over me, but when I saw that
little pale, appealing face at my eioV,
looking to me for help, that brought
the manhood back, and in saying en
couraging things to her I did myself
good.
My first idea was to make something;
that would float us, but I gave that up
directly, for I could feel that I was
helpless, and getting the poor girl
more into shelter, I took a bit of to
bacco in a sort of stolid way, and sat
down with a cork life-buoy over my
arm one which I had cut loose from
where it had hung forgotten behind'
the wheel.
But I never used it, for the storm
went down fast, and the steamer float
ed still, water-logged, for three days,
when we were picked up by a passing
vessel, half-starved, but hoping. And
during that time my companion bad
told me that -she was the attendant of
one of the lady passengers on board,
and at last, when we parted, she kUs
ed my hand, and called me her hero,
who had saved ber life poor grimy
me, you know.
We warn t long, though, before we
met again, for a somehow we'd settled
that we'd write, and in twelve months
after Mnry was back iu England and
my wile, lbat s why 1 said 1 took,
her like out of the hands , of death,
though in a selfish sort of way, being
far, you know, from perfect. Hut
what I ray .speaking as Edward Brown,
stoker, is this: Make a good fight of
it, no matter how black things may
look, and leave the rest to Him,.
