He was thus engaged when Mr. Griffin came down ; but he did not look up until he had finished the calculation. "IIow is it?" the mate asked, as he saw his commander lay down the di viders. "I have been making a reckoning, and I find that we have but little more sea-room left. The course we have made since we wore, has been, as near as I can calculate, ltorth-west-by-west, bo that we must havobecn driving towards the coast of North umberland. I think we have plenty of room to stand on until midnight; but we cannot stand on much longer. If the gale does not abate by that time I know cot what we shall do." The captain started up from his chair, and would probably have walk ed across the cabin.but at that moment a heavy sea caught the ship, and gave her a pitch forward, which caused him to catch his scat as quickly as possi ble. As soon as the flood had gone from the deck, and the vessel had struggled up from the shock, he look ed into his companion's face, and said, in a voice made tremulous by deeper emotion than he had before manifested: "Griffin, I have something upon my mind more than you know : and I am it is,Griffin," he added, after sweeping ' anxious to communicate it, too.

The good ship Pathfinder, of New York, and bound to Copenhagen, had entered the North Sea, leaving the Straits of Dover two days behind. The commander of the ship was a young man, not over eight and-twenty, and his name was Maurice Lester. He stood by the taffrail, gazing off upon the horizon to the eastward, ever and anon raising his hand above his head to feel if there was any wind stirring, and as often casting his eye aloft to sec how the canvas hung. As he stood thus, the mate approached, r.nd ppokc to him : "What d'ye think of this, Cap'n V "I think we're in for a storm, sir," the master replied, "and I tell ye what one ?" said Griffin "Aye" answered the captain, "with almost a shudder, "I feel it in my bones." In the meantime.Captain Lester had liecn watching the sea and sky as before, and he fancied that the signs of the storm wore growing more and more palpable every moment. The f on was going dowu in a thick bank, giving the m hole western horizon a dull, purplish-red, bloody hue, with here and there spots of a darker tinge, like openings, through the fiery cloud, looking upon a fearful blackness be hind. "Do you see how strangely it looks off there?" said the captain, raising his finger towards the point where tlio sun was setting. lost at sea V "Yes," said the mate. "Ar.d perhaps you know that they were lost in this sea?" "I have heard so, sir." "Aye so it was. I was a boy then. Thcv were on their way to Copenhagen, as we should be now. My father commanded the ship she was called the 'Clara Jane' She was named for my mother ; and she was a staunch, noble craft. I was at school then, in Troy ; and when I knew that my parents were dead I was well nigu mad witn griei. l fancied then, in my first hours of or phanage, that my heart would break: and, I think such would have been the case if they had kept me at school. Hut some of those who cared for me "Aye," returned Griffin, "I have I came to see me, and it was finally ar been watching those dark places." And others noticed the same thing, and spoke of it, too. Seven o'clock came and went. Eight o'clock came and the first watch w as set. . "Don't go below," said the captain, as the men of the last dog-watch left their stations, ' This calm can't last a great while. You had letter batten down the hatches now, while there is nothing else to do ; for I am sure there will be need of having them close before the coming of another day." The men had no thoughts of going below, lor they could see and led ; ranged that I should eo to sea. And I prospered prospered so well that, when I was twenty years old, they gave me command of a ship. "The man who owned the ship which I first commanded was named Thornton. He had a daughter named Carrie one of the sweetest, purest, and loveliest creatures that ever gra ced this poor life of earth. She was four years younger than myself; but even when I first knew her and she was not then more than fourteen she was a woman in intellect and grace, though a child in simplicity of loye and confidence. Mr. Thornton did not object to my suit, so 1 loved her nd they were not wholly ignorant of! with all my soul, and was blessed to what was coming : so they went at work and secured the hatches with thick tarpaulins ; and when this was done those who had no particular sta tion collected abont the wheel. An other hour passed away and anoth er. Ten o'clock came, and still not a breath. The ship lay upon the water like a dead thing, with ihe ropes, and blocks, and sails, rattling and flapping as she was swayed to and fro by the lazy swells of the sea. "What dve it mean ?'' cried Griffin, as the boy struck five bells. "Hark!" said the captain, almost inFtantly. I guess you'll soon see. Did you feel that? Ha! and that?" It was a puff of wind, and a light flying of spray ; or perhaps it was a spit of rain. At all events, the puff was felt ; and the drops of water fell upon other cheeks than Maurice Lcs know that she loved me in return. It had been arranged that we should be married when she was twenty years old, that had been our plan for more than two years, Mr. Thornton having set the bounds himself. It lacked two months of the time, and I had ar ranged to remain at home until we were married. But Thornton had a heavy ship freighted for Copenha gen, and her captain was dying. He could find no one to take his place but me, and he asked me to go. I could not refuse ; but I asked that I might be married first. Mr. Thornton shook his head, and said no. But he had another plan which he said would be better. He had been planning to visit Copenhagen, whero he had two brothers in business they were in company with him and he would take the nest ship, and bring Carrio "I have had a dream repeated many times ; but never has it come to me so directly and so vividly as within the past three or four days. CanrU Thorn ton it not dead ! I know she 13 not ! she has appeared to me repeatedly in dream, and calls upon me to save herl To night, as I stood all alone by the mizzen rigging, trying to peer out in to the thick gloom, I heard her voice as plainly as you now hear mine, and she called out for me to save her. Of course what followed was mere fancy, though even that affected me much : I thought I saw her, standing not far off, upon a huge sea, with her arms stretched imploringly towards me saw her then, with my eyes open, as I have often seen her in my sleeping dream I" At this point the captain was cut short in his speech by the cry of "Light-uo!" from the deck. They hurried up and found the men crowd ing forward. "What is it?" Lester asked. "I think it is a light, sir," replied Parker. "Here sir just stand here. Now turn you eye about four points upon the larboard bow. Wait, now, till she rises. Ha there ! there ? See ! Did you sec it, sir ? Yes he had seen it ; and he knew it must be a light upon the shore ; but i t was a great way off. He watch ed it until he had seen it several times, and then he remarked to his mate that it must be a light-house. The light was bold and distinct, and evidently at a considerable height above the level of the sea ; for, had it not been so, it could not have been seen at that distance. After a short consultation, during which reference was had to the chart of the Northumberland coast, it was decided that this light must be upon Dorton Point. To the north of Dorton, as the Captain knew from Dcrsonal experience, as well as from the chart, there was a snug harbor, of easy entrance. These things were settled. As soon as it had been determined where the light was, Captain Lester made all possible haste to determine his course of action. Had the thing been practicable, he would havo laid his ship to ; but that could not be done. No one even gave it a serious thought. So it was determined that the ship should stand on, at least till something further was discovered. At half-past twelve the gale had moderated considerably. The light was now to be seen very plainly when ever the ship rose, and the captain and his officers felt sure that they were right in their calculations. "At all events," Eaid the former, "w e have no choice but to stand on, at least- stranded spar, over a low part of one of the- rocks. After seeing all that was to be ob served from this point, he moved on towards where he thought he should soonest find an open beach, for he felt faint and sick, and he wished to find help as soon as possible. After toil ing over slippery, slimy rocks, and cruel, tearing crags, until his clothing was all torn, and his flesh bruised and lacerated, he finally reached an open space among the rocks, where many pieces of tho wreck had been lodged, and where he found the bodies of three of his men. He hastened to the snot where they lay two of them be ing clasped in each other's arms but he found no signs of lite. With a sad, heavy heart, Lester passed on, and presently he found two more dead ones, and one of them was David Griffin, his chief mate. He kneeled down by the officer's side and raised the head ; but it was cold and lifeless and tho skull was broken. Gently he laid it back upon the sand, and then moved on ugain. And he saw more dead men also. Could it be possible that be had been the only one lelt alive? Ha what what is this ? It moves it has life. Captain Lester hurried forward, as fast as his feeble strength would per mit, and found two meu lying by the side of a heavy spar. One of them was dead ; but the other gazed up into his commander's face, and stretch ed forth his hands as though he would ask for mercy. His name was Dick Mangle, and ho had been one of the best seaman on boarl the ship. "Poor Dick," said Lester, kneeling by his side and lifting his head. "Arc you badly hurt?" "They vc done it for us," the sailor answered, m a weakening voice. "They've killed Tom. Ain't he dead?" It was the body of stout Tom Brick ct that lay closo by, and when the captain had made himself suro that there was no particle of life in it, he reported the same to Dick. "But," he added,"whatdoyou mean, Who has done you harm?" "Haven't you seen 'era ?" the jian asked struggling for breath. seen whom I hat do vou mean? demanded Lester, eagerly. Dick started up to his elbow, and gazed around ; but he seemed to find nothing for which he was looking, and he sank back again. Had he not made this effort he might have spoken further, but the act of rising had ex hausted him, and the last grain of strength was leaving him. "What do you mean ?" cried Lester, "luu Uuu'i leetu to have tuuco strength loft ! Bring him along, hoys, where we can doctor hint." The sinister glance which accompanied this Inst remark, and the peculiar empha sis laid upon the word "Umtur," struck a ebiil to our hero's heart. Bat be could not give bis own safety much (bought, while he was partly forced and partly car ried along after Wolfgang, who strode rapidly on fur nearly half an hour, lie could think only of ibe While Fuicn that had been wrecked on that coast, and of bis beloved Carrie who bad, perhaps, in com pany with those same men, trod the same path be was now treadiDg. What bad been ber fate 7 Had she been murdered by these wretches, or reserved for somo more deplorable doom J These thoughts filled bitu with unutterable agony. Wolfgang had now drawn near the wa ter's edge ; and soon coming to the mouth of a cave he eutered it, followed by the three ruffians who had charge of our hero. The bottom of the cave sloped upward from its entrance for some distance, snd then became almost level. The captive (for such Maurice Lester now felt himself to be) frequently bit bis feet against what he thought, with ; chill of burror, were human bones strewn around tbe cavern, but be eould not clearly make them out in the dim light. lie also noticed that tbe bottom of the cave was very wet, as though it bad recently been covered with water. Tbe wrecker chieftain stopped, at last, near what seemed tbe eud of tbe cave, and maktDg a sign to bis followers, tbey clapped manacles on tbe wrists and ankles of Maurice before he bad time to note tbeir intention. "Now, Captain Lester," said Wolfgang, "you must remain in this place for a abort season, lou are periectlu tafe here. Si lence 1 Say not word ! If tou attempt to leave Ibis spot, jou will be sUio tbe moment you set foot outside tbe cave." Thus speaking, tbe chieftain and his followers silently but rapidly withdrew, leaving Maurice nearly stupefied with as tonishment. As tbey passed from tbe mouth of the cave, tbeir feet were wet by tbe rising waves. Ihe tide tcu rapidly coming in. After a short time, the captive looked about hiin with eyes somewhat accustomed to the dim light, and became satisfied that 'bat he bad supposed to be human bones were really such. There were many of thein. And tnoviog among them' were bugs rats, seeking for prey. Tbe top of tbe cavern, in some places, waa but a few feet above bis head, and ia one place be discovered a small aperture, through which a faint light struggled, and on goiug un derneath it, he thought be smelt tbe odor of vegetation and flowers. On turning, from tbe contemplation of this aperture, towards the mouib of Ihe Cave, Captain Lester observed, with alarm, that tbe water was creeping up tbe sloping bottom. What if it should fill tbe cavern? STAR t CHRONICLE" CALENDAR.

The wind was howlin with terriffic fury ; and the broad sea was lashed into bugo mountain?, that foamed, and tumbled, and leaped along over the bosom of the deep, seeming every moment ready to whelm and engulf the frail bark that strug gled within the demon grasp. When Captain Lester had observed the signs of the morning, he feared that the storm would continue through board, had touched at Dover, and that all were safe and well when she left. I waited another week, and then I crossed over to Hamburg ; but I could learn nothing there. Next I went to London, and there I learned enough to assure me that the ship had been lost!

In a little while, however, he looked up again, and added, in a touching tone, "Ah, my dear friend, you do not know what I have suffered tongue can not tell it, nor can pen write it. That blow did break my heart broke it in the rending of its tenderest cord?, and iu the crushing of all its earthly hopes! Do you believe in dreams?" The mate started, not so much at the character of the question, as from tbe sudden manner in which it was put. "Well," taiJ Lcfterjn a lower lone, He was interrupted by a cry from the bows that made every soul start with horror : "Ureakep!-: I Breakers !" Captain Lester leaped forward, and in a very few moments he was satisfi ed that the warning bad not been a false one ; for he could not only hear the awful roar of the breaking seas, but he fancied that he could see the gleaming of the white foam as it flew high in the air. As quickly as possi ble the topsail was taken off, and the anchors cut loose. The ponderous grapplings plunged into the hissing sea, and the iron cables were spun through the hawse-holes like light ning. Snap went the starboard chain ; mid in a moment more a shock was felt as the larboard anchor found bot tom ; but it could not hold. The ca ble parted as though it had been a hempen string, and on swept the de voted ship. "In heaven's name !" gasped Griffin, "what does this mean? See. The light is still burning as brightly as ever at least a league away and yet here arc the rocks directly under our bows. What can it mean ? Maurice Lester did not answer ; but an old, weather-beaten sailor, who stood at the wheel, and who had look ed a thousand dangers in the face, answered for him : "It's a Wrecker's Beacon. I've seen such things afore. There aint no use in firin' the gun, sir. That light was put there to lead poor Jack to his death that the coast-sharks might pick his bones." "Breakers. Rocks. On the ttar- hoard bow I Ai I On the larboard! Port." But it was too late for mortal help. The ship had met her doom. She went upon the rocks with a crash that sounded high above the roar of the elements. Chapter II. WOLFGANG. Maurice Lester was near the star board gangway when the ship struck, having started aft to look to the helm. The shock threw him upon his back, and ho tried to get up ; but ere he could regain his feet the flood of mad waters came surging over the bark, and be was thrown he knew uoi where. lie only knew that the flood came that it caught him in its giant grasp that: it hurled him as the gale hurls a feather that his head was hurt that his body was tossed and bruised and then tbe lamp of the consciousness went out. When he came to himself it was daylight, and the rays of the sun were beaming above him. At first he Uid not at tempt to move, any further than sim ply to assure himself that he was re ally alive and sensible; but sought to recall the events of the past, which he did, very clearly, up to the time when his ship struck upon the rocks, he could go no farther. After this ho raised himself upon his elbow, and tried to gaze about him. lie found himself upon a bed of sand, between two immense rocks. lie had been landed there in the deep nook, and the tide gone out and left him. In a lit tle while he rose to bis feet, and man aged to crawl up, by the aid cf a a L f I u . r . i i wi.rt rn.. , i Lu i uuw uc cuuiu accuum ior me presence ill i o tbere ol lb one bumao bones I Xhvj were H as any body harmed you.'" j lhe 5sd mcmori.lg of otbcr n ,e88 inen Dick managed to raise his hand to j ho blJ been lch iu luit C4Ve rtl)pcrUh his head to a poiut above the left dnwnin.j I ear and, as he did so, he whimpered jjiow. iat gure!y the waters crept alone Look out they atked for the capt'n. Thai's whero they struck." lie tried to speak further, but his voice failed him. What could this mean? Maurice Lester started to his feet and gazed arouud. Who had killed his men ? The captain was disturbed in bis meditation by the sound of voices not far off, and upon turning he beheld four men coming up from the water. He who came in advance was a tall, muscular man ; with a gaunt, heavy frame ; somewhere about fifty or fifty-five years of age; aud habited iu a garb of blue cloth, cut into a frock, or start, which was secured at the waist by a broad pistol-belt. Manricc Lester was startled when ho beheld tbe stalwart leader and his three rufiianly companions ; and con sidering all the circumstances, it is no wonder that ho was startled. How over, he had not much opportunity for reflection, for, by the time he had fair ly made out the party, they were up on him. "Hallo," the leader cried, as lie saw our hero, "here we have another." And, as he came up, he added : "And I guess we've found a live one, too, one that knows something. Say who are ye f This last sentence was addressed to Maurice who quickly answered : "My name is Lester. And now, to be fair, what is your name ? "Well I guess you've heard it be fore. Men call me Ryan Wolfgang." "Wolfgang, "repeated Lester with a start. "Yes. That is my name." Then Wolfgang was not a myth after all. That mysterious wrecker, whose name was a source of terror to honest sailors, was a being of flesh and blood, like other men. Maurice gazed upon him with wonder ; and, as he gazed, be felt that ho looked upon a fiend incarnate. He had often heard of the pi rate-wrecker, and so dark and mystic had been the tales which the North-sea sailors bad told, that he had been inclined to believe that the whole theme w as a fabrication. Now, however, he had no more doubt, for the man before him looked as dark and bloody as were any of his pictures he had heard drawn of him upon the forecastle. But our hero was not allowed much time for reflection. olfgang plied him with questions, to all of which Lester gave straightforward answers; well knowing that evasion would serve no practical pur pose, and hoping by his frankness to pro pitiate tbe merciless fiend in whose unre strained power be knew himself to be. When the wrecker ebief had elicited all the information be could, and learned with what a rich eargo the vessel was freighted, and that she had $10,000 in specie on board, he smiled grimly, and re marked to one of his confederates that she would perhaps be a richer price even than the HAi'e Fawn had been a few jean be fore. The mention of the name of the ill-fated ship in which Carrie Thornton and her father bad been lost, gave Man riot Lester a shock that be nearly fell to tbe earth. Be grew deadly pale, and hie frame quivered convulsively. "Wbat'e tbe matter V said Wo!fgog. The vermin fled before them to the eleva ted spot cn which Maurice stood. Slowly following the incoming water at length reached his feet ! At the end of the cave, within a few feet cf tbe wall, and underneath the aper ture before spoken of, was a large piece of rock, some four feet high, that might have fallea from above. To this Maurice has tened as quickly as bis manacles would permit. After some exertion be succeeded in climbing to tbe top of it, and stood erect, bis bead witbin a few inches of the top of tbe cavern. But he was not allow ed to occupy tbis retreat alone. As tbe water began to circle round its base, tbe rats also sought refuge on it in great num bers, and io vain did Maurice try to dis lodge them with his manacled feet. Soon (as it seemed to tbe captive) Ibe water came rippling over the top of tbe rock. He felt its moisture upon his feet. And still it rose slowly but relentlessly it rose higher higher; and as it rose, tbe rats climbed np bis limbs for safety. It was in vain that he brushed them off with bis fettered handt. Tbey instantly re' turned. They clambered up his back to bis shoulders over tbe back of bis neck to tbe crown of his head ; their clammy bodies strisiog a chill to bis very heart. And still higher the waters rose, and more thickly tbe foul vermin gathered upon the devoted captive's shoulders and head, as tbeir only places of safety. Dri ven frantic at last by the horrors of his situation, he was abont to plunge into the surging tide and seek watery grave, when bis attention was arrested by tbe tread of rapid footsteps near the aperture above bia head, and the sound of a harsh masculine voice, almost instantly followed by tbe noise as of a struggle, aud a pier cing shriek which thrilled Maurice Lester to the very soul. He could not be mistaken it was Cabbie's voice. Again be heard it, but now in tones of entreaty. Ob, it teat ber voice. She was not dead ! She lived and was near him ! Gathering all bia strength be shouted, "Carrie 1 Carrie I Cabrie 1" A dead silence followed, broken only by tbe fearful murmurings of tbe still risiog waters, and tbe splash of the rats as tbey fell from the wretched eaptive'a head and shoulders, only to return again, in their fierce straggles for a perch of safety from tbe advancing tide, which had now nearly reached our hero's shoulders.
