our departure, the attention of many obsei:- j

-
; ily farty of persons an elderly gentleman of
; intellectual appearance, and two young ladies,
. Li. daugLtery; cne an invalid, the other an
v, k .t,.Lta auu . A LiU OU-
j' ct of their journey was the restoration of
the iiealth of the invalid one bv chance of

; of the invigorating sea breeze. Having se

j iter of the elderly lady preventing any other

and he earnestly entreated her to be careful
if she remained on deck alone.
There is no danger, father,' said she. I
would not wish to live, "if I am to be the
slave of fear.'
For the first time I had become interested
in Ler character, an 1 a slight prayer went
forth from my heart, that her rath through
life should bs guird -d from any cause for the
fear she seemed with all her soul to despise.
I left her father, ending a fresh caution with,
Ellen, my dear. I hope no harm will come
of your want of care,' led the younger sis
ter to the cabin below.
A short ime afterwards while standing near
the place appointed for the engineer, watch
ing the movements of the complicated ma
chine, with powerful precision propelling us
against wind and tide, some dozen miles an
hour, ou. a Eudden the engiue was stopped in
obedience to a signal bell, andL heard con
siderable bustle on the deck above. A fish
ing boat had attempted to cross the track cf
the steamer, and to avcid a collision, the ab
rupt stoppage bad been deemed necessary by
the captain. The fishing boat had passed in
safety by. and the sreamer was agaiu under
full steam. As I walked leisurely to the af
ter part of the boat, I saw a crowd near the
ladies cabin, and borne in the arms of her
father, apparently dead, was the young lady
whom I had left, and who subsequently be
came an object cf intense interest to many
on board. I hesitated in foicing my way to
htr, supposing that it might be a case of
fainting, and there was enough to supply the
remedies on such occasions. After a lapse
of a few minutes, from the agitated appear
ance of those who had accompanied the
young lady into the qabin, it was evident to
me that a serious accident had ocurred. I
entered the cabin with the captain, and be
held reclining ou a set'ee, the form of that
lovely girl to all appearance, dead, her father.
and sister bending over her in agony, cuanng
her temples, pressing her white hands, cal
ling upon her name in vaiu; their anguish
subsided iu floods of tears. Messengers had
been despatched to different parts of the boat,
to ascertain if there was among tho passen
gers a surgeon, who could ascertain the na
ture and extent of the injury. No one bad
vet been found. I asked how the accident
occurred, and was informed that when the
boat stopped, the young lady was leaniug
over the railing of the promenade deck; the
passengers anxiously rushing to one side, 9
the fishin? boat passed, caused the steamer
to careen, when tne por gin ieu to toe ciecs
below, striking her head upon a corner of the
chain box. A medical gentleman entered the
cabin a young mau came ia with hitn. Up
on examination it was found that the skull
of the young lady was fractured, and every
indication of compression of the brain. This
intelligence was imparted to the unhappy pa
rent of the unhappy girl, with the
candid ackaowlcigeaient that Jser bitua-
ton was one of imminent peril. 'Can noth
inz be done to eave her?' said the weeping
father. The sister had been removed in al
most unconscious state from the cabin, and
was in the care of tome of the ladies. The
physician replied that there was but one hope
to rest upou an operation, and that skill
fully and speedily performed. 'What opera
tion?' eali the father, holding her head in hia
bands, and waitmg in breathless anxiety.
j 'Trepanning, quietly responded the phy-
siciab,1 and briefly explained his meaning. A
Eiience of some duration ensu?d.
j Wbeo this dreadful.operation is perforra
j ed, what is the chance of recovery? gasped
Ttts faUc'V'Scixiog the physician by tbe trm.
! -'That must depend oa circuznatanees.' wa
nis reply.
Save her life, Ellen my child my child,
poor girl, 'tis an awful thing to think of. If,
as you say, it must be done, for heaven's take
loose no time.
I heve no instrument fit for the
cumose.
Nor would I undertake it if I had. It needs
a more experienced baud than mine. I nev-
f er saw it done. From the books only I know
its the nature and Rianner of proceeding."
The captain remarked that he had a case
of instruments cn board the boat; of their
purposes he was ignorant. The young man
who had entered with the physician had been
carefully examing the injury, and requested
the captain to prvenre the instruments, who
left the cabin for that purpose. ' He then ad
dressed the physician: 'Sir t-hould the tre
pan b3 at h-iad would it net be. well to at
teapt the operation? In her pr- scct state
she must die unless eoaia aid be promptly
given.' I will assist.'
Are you a physician;'
'So, I am a student of medicine only. I

said he in a whisper, 'what is to be done?'
The young man and the physician were ;
conversing audibly together for a moment. '
Nro, sir,' replied the physician. 'Nothing r
in the world would mducc me to attempt it. j
Having bo confidence in my power, you j
know. sir. it is not likely that I shall sue- I
ceed.'
If you were not cn board tha boat, under
the circumstances, and at the request of I
these interested. I would attempt it. But it
is understood that you refuse, and if her
father will trust me I will save her if I can
Captain, you know me, I can have cone but
good motives.'
The father had listened. Tho calm and
cool manner of the young student had weigh
ed much in his favor. After a look -at his
child who still seemed to be in the slocp of
derth. the low, peculiar, breathing sound,
attendau cpoti such cases, bein-g the - only
sign of life, aud sure sytr.ptoai of the nature
of the hurt, he took the young man's hand
and said, 'Do what jou think best! Save
her if you can; God help you.' He kissed
her, and walked away, checking his emotion,
repeating the prayer for her safety.
A request was made for these whose aid
was not necessary to retire from the cabin,
which was, of course, complied with. The
physician, to his credit be it spoken, remaia
ed to assist ia an act which he dared not be a
principal in. The instruments having been
carefully arranged, aad everything that pru
deuce could suggest provided, the youug lady
was placed upon a table to undergo this fear
ful operation. There was to her no dread.
She could feel no pain. Sensation, to her,
was a lost faculty, liut the loss of self pos
session in the operation a lack of kuowledge
and judgment in a critical moment, might
make of the instrument ustd to save a life a
weapon oi sure destruction. Ihe physician
secured her head in a position caost convenient
the student removed from the injured spot
the golden curls, as he took the scalped in
his hand to make the necessary incision
through the integuments.' Twas evident
success would attend his rfTarts. His baud
trembled not, bis ey. quailed not. In a mo
ment part of the scalp was dissected up the
bone was visible the saw about to do its
work. Such silence a frightful wound ap
peared, aud though inflicted upon one felt not
the knife, still it called forth a terrible feeling
of suspense. But a short time had bisen oc
cupied by the young operator, wh.-u, remo
ving a piece of the skull of a circular form.
thebraio, with its thousaud vessels duteuded
with blood showed plainly through its cover
ing membrane. Her father had walked
about the cabin, not daring to look in the di
rection in which his child was lying After
various attempts to speak, he turned, saw the
blood necessarily lost, trickling down her
livid iWek, od covering, ia its course, and
loose locks that had been spared. "Is she
alive? Do not answerTne still I must asK
Elleu. Ellen."
Expressions like these escaped Ironi nis
lips, in tones of beart-sinkiug despair. No
attention was paiu to mm iy i" ,... ,
who proceeded to the last stages of his Usk,
oc fin,. hnd and detcTuiined heart as I
if the instruments were actiug on marble. A
moment's pause for ieflection and consulta
tion enabUfi him to decide upon &u important
point. Applying a lever to the depressed
portion of tne skull, it was with much diQ
culty raised, and signs of returning conscious
cess were evident. She moved her hands,
and raised them to her head. The eye of the
sufferer resumed her natural office, acd from
her lips came the words of transport "Fath
er! I atn safe! I'm better!" The trant-ition.
from death to life, so sudden, was like the
charms of the magecian's art. Overcome by
the chanec. her father sank into a chair, and
was not disturbed till the proper dressings
were applied, and then the operation pronoun
