' "For [leaven's sake, Captain,' said
Truehold, unable to restrain his feelings,
any longer, "do not use your innocent

"What ! cried the Captain, still more
fiercely; -what ! wilh you dare to inter

"Eh ! you won't, do yhu say ?" exclaim

rage. -"You wont ?" he reiterated, draw.l

Heaven I I, she'd send you a berth you ,
don't expect !" and, without further;
warning,fired the pisiol,which, fortnuate.l
lymissing the mark, entered the mast

to take a wore deliberate aim at Truehold,
who stood without truten-Atiog to tucvecp
from his pusitioti; but at the moment thC
Captain's finger was on the trigger. I

opened her eyes, and, conscious of what
