THE LIVELY JENNY.
When, after a long and proper proba
tion, I was fairly sot up and married to
Fant.y, a fine, bold girl that liked ine,
I believe, as much as I liked her, we
sensibly agreed that, instead of setting
Up housekeeping, f urniture and such
inconveniences, wo should suit our
selves with a house that was infinitely
more to our taste. Fanny had beeu
Lorn and bred on the northwest coast of
Ireland, beside tho breakers of tho At
lantic. .She was a handsome, clever
creatuie, with a classical and reflective
face, a born sailor, whom it iras pleas
nut, when our dainty quests were grow
ing green and uncomfortable, to see sit.
ting on the deck, with rising color, wel
coming the stiff breezes.
I had done a good deal in coast sailing,
nnd teas to have beeu put into tho navy
(but wasn't, which is a long story) ; so,
instead of going through the anxieties of
selecting a new and plastery house, with
furniture that was to prove prematurely
infirm and crippled, wo read the one
thought iu each other's eyes a yacht !
It wasEpring. Such a thing was' soon
" picked up." It was a nautical friend
living near Leamington that " looked
out " for the yacht for us,- a man of
large experience nnd with an eye for a
" good cut of a thing." After a time
ho picked up oui little ral't ; the very
thing for us, and a dead bargain besides,
a tight, handy little schooner, a good
sea bout, that shook the waves from her
like a spirited horse, easily handled,
thirty tons, loomy below, airy, largo
for that tonnage, and built of luahogauy.
She cost us only three hundred pounds,
was reckoned a dead bargain, and was
called " The Lively Jctiny." It was a
joyful morning when wo learned she
was lyiug ii. Kingstowu harbor, .having
come iu at midnight. The news was
brought in by the new skipper himself,
whom I and Funny went dowu to tho
parlor to meet as it li6 were an ambassa
dor, which he was, from " Tho Lively
Jenny."
Now. if we were to have a treasure
in our yacht, wo were to have a far
more impoitant one in our skipper. Ho
had been picked up also, by the sheerest
good luck. Our nautical friend had
written in the most extravagant terms o!
liis merits, lie ha 1 known Clarke from
u boy ; a finer sailor never Hupped a
deck ; as steady as a rock, sober a.-: a
judge, as moral as an apostle. ' I have
an interest in the man," lie wrote, 11 as 1
know all about him an 1 know what be
bus gone through. 1 l-ok up'iu this as
a much gre:.U:r piece I'fluck than light,
ing on ' The Lively Jenny.' "
And this paragon was uow in the
parlor. We almost felt, Funny and I,
that we were scarcely virtuous company
enough for him. ' There ho was now,
and we started. Clarke was a man of
ubout thirty, good-looking and sailor
like, that, ii, would have been good
lo king but for a very disagiceable long,
inflamed scar that ran slanting from his
forehead over hislelt eye to his ear. It
was raw and unpleasant altogether. He

mistake about his testimonials, and lie
was, on the best authority a treasure.
Fanny did not relish his look at all. She
much preferred Pan, a young 'salt'
from her own wild coast, who was ' off
tho estate,' and was to be our other sail
or. It was about him that Clarke first
spoke.
" I brought over a steady man that I
have known for years, and can bo depen.
ded upon. A man with some religion
in him, which," ho added, smiling, " is
not usual among us sailors. 1 could go
on excellently well with him."
" C, we have got Dan," said Fanny.
We could not do without Dan I "
" Of course it is with you, madam ;
but is right to toll you this Dan came off
to us last night when we had moored,
and I could seo plainly he had been
drinking."
Fanny colored up, "you must have
been mistaken. We all know Dan from
a child. Ho never was drunk in his
life. We can't have any one else "
Clarke bowed. Then we gave him
all sorts or directions, and let him go.
" I don't like that man at all, for all
his pood character," said Fanny wisely.
' And then to go and slander poor Dan I '
" I don't relish him extravagantly,
but character, my dear, is everything
aboard ship," said I.
" Aboard ship," said she, laughing,
' that sounds charming.'
We were to sail in two days, aud cer
tainly we almost at once found the mer.
it3 of our skipper ; for by his quiet fore
thought and measured energy ho did
wonders ; got iu stores, the yacht fitted,
and what not.
" You sec, my dear," I said, " those
are the sterling qualities that pass show.
Dan is a little too impulsive, and not
half so practical. A word now about
Dan.
Dan was a sort of foster brother of
Fanny's, that used to row her on tho At.
lautio, 4 no less,' fit up daring little skiffs,
with sails and all complete, to make a
bold voyage across to a distant island,
lie was & handsome, strong, bold, dash
ing young fellow, only one and twenty,
and could swim like a fish. He always
called her Miss Fanny, though correct
ed again and again. Tue only mystery
was that of the drink, which puzzled us,
for wo had never even heard a suspicion
of such a thing. Fauny shook her
hcd.
" I could explain it," she said.
" Ah ! " said I, " you don't know,
dear. Theso sea towns, young fellows
fall into temptations."
We were to go on a coasting cruise.
First to Falmouth, then to Cowcs, and
Cna'ly on to Cherbourg ; leave the
yacht under shelter of the famous
breakwater (" she will be very snug
thtro," wo both said, speaking of her
cosily, as if she were a baby), and we
ourselves would run up to Faris. We
could not have too much of th e sea.
Two sailors only aud a boy, nnd myself,
as good as another, and Fanny very
nearly oho ouly wanted strength as
good as a fourth. Uarly at six o'clock
on a fine morning wo went down by that
pleasant little strip of sea-coast rail way
that winds like a ribbon from Dublin to
to Kingstowu, found a fresh 'tbrceze, a
tbluo sea, ani "The Lively Jeuny"
flittering her sails impatiently, ns if
they wero the laces aud lappets ol her
cap. i e toot up our moorings iu a
moment, and flew out steadily to sea.
We were in great delight with our
new " house." She sailed charmingly,
lay ever on her sido in the true yacht
attitude, and made tho water hiss as she
shot through it. We were as compact,
as snug, aud even elegant as could be
conee'wed. Delow wero two charming
little rooms, perfect boudoirs, one a littlo
saloon for dining. It was full of '' lock
ers " and pigeon holes for keeping all
sorts of things; aud it was with peculiar
delight that wo discovered, as you went
down stairs a sort of slidiug panel on
each side, which uuelo?od aud discover
ed a shelf, known to the men as tho
"sail room," only think ! but which, on
an emergency, could be turned into an
elegant and commodious sleeping apart
ment. Dinner on the swing table was
the most charming of meals, and full of
slippery excitement.
On the morning of the second day,
when there was not much of a breeze, I
notieid our skipper seated en tho ' after'
portion of the bowsprit, reading. It was
Fanny called my attention to this. Dan
was walking up and dowu contemptuous
ly. From curiosity, I went up to see
what bjok it was, and found it to be
" The CoiifesMous of 15. ILKudge, Esq.,
with some of his Letters."
' Why, who on earth is Hudge ? " I
asked.
Clarke stood up respectfully.
" J'udge, hir," said he, " was a com
mon fircniau on an engine, who txik to
drinking aud was reclaimed. He tells
the whole story there ; and afterwards
he became not only au apostle of tern,
perauee, but a minister, preaching and
wiuuing souls to Christ."
' O, that's what he was,". I said, I am
atraid with marked di.-gust iu my face ;
for that sort of thing is well euougla

ashore, but doesn't fit handy on a sailor.
I camo out and told Fanny.
" Canting creature," said Fanny.
' I observed, too, that Dan and he had
very little conversation..
That night, about eleven, was a very
beautiful moonlight night. I talked
with Clarke about tho course ; we then
fell off to other things, and I saw what a
good sailor ho was. lie told mo more
about 1$. 13. Eudgo and himself.
" He did a great deal for me, sir, that
man," he said. " You wouldn't have
taken mo, sir, if you had seen me as Mr.
lludge first saw nu?. Yon can little
conceive what a wretch I was. Drunk
en, depraved, abandoned in every sonso.
It was in a vile, drunken quarrel I got
this, Bit," aud ho poiuted to his ugly
scar. It nearly killed me, and I lay
for weeks between life and death, until
that good and gracious man came and
raised uie up."
" Of course, you mean in a spiritual
sense," I said, with a sort ot sneer.
" Quite right, sir," he said calmly.
" And I owe to him more than to my
father." Then he said, " this was the
last voyage that he would make, thanks
to his own exertions."
" And to D. 15. Rudgo?"
" Yes, sir. In fact, be wishes mo to
join his ministry ; and after this voyage
there is a young girl who hrs grace, at
Falmouth where we are uow going, who
would bo content to take her lot with
me."
' Is she a bnud pluck ; too ? ' I
could not help asking. Hut he gave
me a look of reproach which the sear
made savage. ' I am only joking,' I
said, hastily.
' 1 am sure she is a very good girl,
and all that.'
Fanny, when I reported this conver
sation was in a littlo rago.
' What an old hypocrito II am bo
sorry we shipped him.'
' Canting, whining creature,' I said ;
' poor Dan will have a fine time of it.'
We got to Falmouth, and went
ashoie. But the wind suddenly fell,
and it looked as if there was to be a
change in the weather. We detcrmin.
cd to tun up to London, which we did.
We there met pleasant friends, who in
sisted on doing us, &e., and so a very
pleasant week went by in next to no
tiino. Then we went down to our
craft, and found the drum up. It was
only a stiff breeze, so wo determined to
put out to sea at ouco. Hut there was
a great change iu our skipper. Dan
was on board, riotous with spirits, sing
ing aud whistling ; in Clarke was no
ticed a great alteration, Ilia composed
serenity was gone. lie was doggedly
moody, and his eyes glared, lie did
not speak to Dan, who told us that
they had had a quarrel ashore. Both
Fanny and I remarked this, and I no
tieed Clarke following Dan with lower
ing brow and dark suspicious eyes, as
be walked past him on the deck. J. be
evcniuii was very bne, tlio drum was
down, and we promised ourselvc)
charming voyage to Chcrbourgh, our
destination, aud then hey for Fans !
Before we started, Fanny had got it
all out ot Dau. There was a young wo
man in the case, in fact, the- young
woman at Falmouth, a nice, fresh, gay
girl, not at all " serious, tnougli our
friend wished to make her so.
" It 'ud have been a pity, inarm
said Dan, " to have handed the likes ot
her over to psalm singing for the rest
of her life. And fuix I just talked to
her a littlo quietly, quietly, and put the
comethur ou her, or she tut it on her
self, but at the end she gave the cowld
shouldhcrto my friud Jenny Calvin
there ! Sorry a hand or part I had in it,
wittin ly, aiariu, or knuwin ly.
" You did quite rij-ht, Dan," said
my Fanny, with enthusiasm.
I was ou deck when Clarke came to
mo.
" Don't go for a day or two yet, sir,"
he said, gloomily. " Take my advice ;
there is bad weather coming on."
" It don't look much like it," I said,
pleasantly.
" I know these things, sir," he said.
There'll be a storm before morniug."
" Ah, what are ye talkiugof," said
Dan laughing. " Don't be humbuggiu'
the masiher." There was a twinkle in
his eye as he spoke. " D'ye want
another sight at litttlo Susan t "
The feroe:ous look tho other gave
him shocked mc and Funny. I saw the
reason now. " We go to-night," I said,
firmly ; " get up the moorings."
We got out to sea. The ni;rbt was
very fine. It came to ten, eleven, mid
night. Then Funny went down.
" Well, Claik," 1 said, " what d'ye
say now '( or have you forgotten Susan
by this time ?"
There was another black look of fe
rocity, and his eyes wandering to Dan,
who was at tho forecastle, fo'castle,"
I mean, looking out, dancing from
one loot to thtf other and whistling St.
i'atriek"s Day.
"lie will have to account to lleaveu
for what he has done. Sho was a good
iil. and would have made me a good
wife, aud worked to save souls with mo.

Now she will bo lost and go after van
ity. God forgive linn.
" In short, not pluokcd from tho
burning- Now, look here, Clarke : I
must speak to you seriously. In the
first place, I must ask you to drop that
jargon of yours, which is all very well
in its way and on shore, but hero you
know' in short, it don't fit a British
searrnn.
I should have thought, sir, with
the daiu ers of the seas, aud tho heavens,
and the 'empests overhead, that a sea
man hnd .inoro need of it than nny oue.
Why who knows how much we shall
want of prayer befor the night i3 done,
and this frail plank "'
' O, come, I said, ' I don't pay my
sailors to preach to mo. Of course,
I don't object to prayer and piety. It
depends on the sincerity my, frieud.
You see I hate cant. Now, I have
obsscrved that your heait is full of ani
mosity to that young man there. 1 see
it in your really ferocious looks."
1 IJdaro say, sir,' ho said, humbly ;
' nnd if. ia tvlmf T Af Iprd fif mnmnnta
when tho Lord withdraws his strength.
I have naturally a vilo, wicked temper
full of the most frightful passions. But,
I wrestlo with it, thank tho Lord. 1
forgive him ; that is, I try to forgive
him. And I struggled with my own
vile nature. In a day I shall have all
subdued, and look on him as a brother
in sin, though he has dono mo a cruel
injury, ah, yes, sir, a cruel iujury.
Do you sec that cloud there, sir 1 There
is something coming. We had better
get all tight.'
I walked away nnd went to tell
Fanny, who was reading in the little
cabin by a swinging lamp. ' A regular
Heep,' I said, ' A Uriah of the first
water. Ho has been 'swaddligg' on a
tub there for the last quarter of an hour.'
Fanny said, gravely, ' I wish we
were rid of him. I am sure ho is a
dangerous man, and may do some mis
chief.' ' I tell you what, Fan,' I said scr
iously, ' I think so too ; and when we
get to Chcrbourgh, I shall just speak
quietly to him, and look out for an
other hand, aud send him home, Fan-'
But, now, almost as we wero speak
ing, a gale had arisen, and our little
bark, without notice of any kind, had
given a sort of vindictivo ' shy,' as if
she wanted to ' throw ' her riders.
For a second the sea had become like a
mass of black molten iron, and was rol
ling in huge waves. In another mo
ment wo were rushing through the wa.
tors with a stiff hissing sound, and
every spar and sail ciacked and clat
tered. The sky had grown black also.
It seemed as if a thunderbolt was on
us.
Clarke came to mc, ' Wo can staud
under but littlo canvass,' ho said.
" The worst has not come as yet. Wo
shall have the hand of the Almighty
strong npon us to-night'
It grew darker and darker, and the
storm increased. Our boat was reel
ing and tumbling, lurching violently,
as if she wanted to go down hcadfo re
most, then rocking and rolling from
side to side, as if she wished to dash
our sides iu. Fanny's face appeared
above tho companion-ladder a little an
xious j but still perhaps enjoying the
gale. She rocollected her own native
coast.
' This is not the worst,' said Clarke,
coming to rue again ; ' not for an hour
yet. There will be sad work to-night
on the ocean. All tho better for uieu
who have clear consciences, and havo
doae no wrong to their fellows,' and
by a flash of lightning I saw one of his
vindictive glances flash also towards
Dan. That young fellow had beeu
doing, wonders, climbing to set free
the sail which had got fixed, hanging
on like a cat, being hero, there, every
where, making everything ' tight.'
' Ho gives us no jargon,' I said to
Fanny, who, like a brave girl, was up
on deck, but considers doing his duty
tho best way ot praying.'
But lleep was right. Tho wont
had not come. Crack ! There went a
spar and sail, blown through as if it had
been so niuoh paper. Great seas came
pouring iu upou deck, yet Fanny
would not go below, though it was next
to impossible to keep one's feet securely.
At times our bows were half under
water. It was au awful night. Sud
denly we saw, through tho darkness, a
faiut red light and two other lights.'
' A steamer,' said Clarke. ' Wo
must only keep by her. It will be
something ; and, unless this is a strong
boat'
I was very near getting oat some

' Put her about I ' I said, furiously.
' This is too famous I ,
' You will sink us ! -' the villian said.
' If we turn a hair's breadth from this

' Put her about ! ' I said. And the
boy at tho helm did so. But Clarke
was right : for as her bed camo round,
a tremendous sea came tumbling over
h r with the force of a discharge of
stones from a mountain. There was
a sound like a smash. I thought we
wero ' gone ' at that moment ; and for
a moment more our little boat was quite
stunned. Sho recovered herself slowly.
We found our bulwarks a heap of
laths. Uriah was right. We saw it
would not do. Poor, Dan !
' Go nft,' I said to him sternly, but
in a voice that trembled"
He did so camly. Fanny and I held
a hurried consultation. Of course, now,
nothing couid bo done until tho storm
abated, if it wan to abate for us. Wo
tould not do without such help as he
could give us. So, until we reached
Chcrbourgh, if we e?cr i7id reach it,
we should dissemble. This was the
only thing to be done ; though Fauny
was for no such temporizing.

calmly.
' Auother hour,' he said, ' if we pull
through that, there might be a change.

judgment ! I kuew I might leave my
cr-e to the Lord. Yet poor Dan, my

He stopped. Wo should leave our
case in the hands of him who rules the
storm. There ! L declare, there is a

That long nnd dreadful night af
length - we to an end. Morning
broke at last. But though the storm
broke at last, the wind had not gone
down ; through the whole day we had
to go before it, nnd were blown on
steadily. Clarke was, it must be said,
admirably in regulating our vessel.
Iudeed, we owed our safety to his skill.
But Fauny, in the daylight, now kept be
low. She could not bear to look upou
him. It made her shudder to speak of
bim. We beat about tho whole day,
and towards cveuing tho wind began to
all, though tho waves remained very
high : aud then we saw land, and a lit

' Ab, sir ! ' he said, ' those are the

injured me, from my soul I forgive him

of piety that was really appalling.
