' A MARRIAGE AT SEA.

W. CLARK RUSSELL.

ELL.

CHAPTER VI.

‘There was nothing to do but to wait.
Some little trifle of property I had below
in the cabin, but nothing that I cared to
burden myself with at such a time. All
the money I had brought with me, bank-
‘notes and some gold, was in the pocket-
book I carried. As for my sweetheart’s
wardrobe, what she had with he“, as
you know. she wore, so that she would
be leaving nothing behind her.

It was some half-hour or so after our
coming on deck that Caudel, quitting the
pump, at which he‘ had been taking a
spell, approached me, and said,—— '

“ You’ll understand of course, Mr.

ship, “receives ye that I wouldn’t go
too. But the weather’s a-moderating;
it’ll lee. turning fine afore long, and I’m
a-going to sail the Spitfire home.”

Grace looked at me; I understood
the. meaning her eyes conveyed, and
c:-:clai:ned,

” The men will do as they please. They
are I'Ilucky fellows, and if they carry the
yacht home she shall be sold and what
she fetches divided among them. But I
have had enough of her,—and more than
enough of yachting. I must see you,
my pet, safe on board some ship that
does not leak.”

“ I could not live through another
night on the Spitfire,” she exclaimed.

“No, miss, no,” rumbled Caudel.
soothingly; “ nor would it be right and
proper that you should be asked to live
through it. They’ll be sending for ye
presently. ”

“ Where is she bound to, I wonder?" I
said. viewing the tall, noble vessel with
a yearning to be aboard her with Grace
at my side.

mer of the white faces gave an odd
pulsing look to the whole length of them
as the heave of the ship alternated the
stormy light.

On a sudden, much about the hour of
noon, there came a lull; the wind prop-
ped as if by magic; here and there over
the wide green surface of the ocean the
:i'oam glanced, but in the main the bil-
lows ceased to break and charged in a
troubled but fast moderating swell.

The two vessels had widened their dis-
tance, yet the note of the hall, if dull,
was‘ perfectly distinct :

“ Yacht ahoy‘i We’re going to send a
boat.”

“ Here they come, Grace !" cried I.

“ Oh, Herbert, I shall never be able to
enter her?” she exclaimed, shrinking to
my side.

But I knew better, and answered with
acaress only.

The cars rose and fell, the boat showed

and vanished, showed and vanished
again, as she came buzzing to the yacht,
to the impulse of the powerfully-swept
blades. Cledel stood by vnth some
coils of line in his hand; the end was
flung, caught, and in a tries the boat
was alongside, and a,sunburnt, reddish-
haired man in a suit of serge, and with a
naval. peak to his cap, tumbled with the
dexterity of a monkey over the yacht’s
rail. .
He looked round him an instant, and
then, straight up to Grace and me, tak-
ing the heaving and slanting deck as
easily as though it had been the floor of
a ball-room.

“ I am the second mate of the Carthus—
ian,” said he, touching his cap with an
expression of astonishment and admir-
ation in his eyes as he looked at Grace.
“ Are all your people ready to leave,
sir? Captain Parsons is anxious that
there should be no delay."

“ The lady and I are perfectly ready,"
said I, “ but my men have made up their
minds to stick to the yacht, with the ,
hope 05 carrying her home.”

He looked around to Crudel, Who stood

near.
“ We had thought your case a hopeless
one, sir.” '
“ So it is," I answered.
“ Are you wise in your resolution, my

man?” he exclaimed, turning to Caudel
again.

“Ay, sir," answered Caudel, doggedly.
as though anticipating an argument.
“Who’s a—going to leave suchadandy
craft as this to founder for the want of
keeping a pump going for a day or two ?”

“The yacht is in no fit state for the
young lady, anyway,” said the second
mate. “Now, sir, and you, madam, if
you are ready.” And he put his head
over the side to look at his boat.

I helped Grace to stand, and whilst
I supported her I extended my hand to
Caudel.

“God bless you and send you safe
home i” said I. “ Your pluck and. deter-
mination make me feel'but half a man.‘
But my mind is resolved too. Not for
hour in this craft.” -

He shook me cordially by the hand,
and respectfully bade Grace farewell..
The others of my crew approached, leav-
ing one pumping, and among the strong
”fellows on deck and in the boat—sinewy
arms to raise and'muscular fists to re-

ceive her—Grace, white and shrinking "

and exclaiming, was handed dexterously

ing my chance, I sprang, and’plurnped
heavily but safely into the boat. The
second mate then followed. and we
shoved ofi. _- , g

‘ There were some seventy Or eighty
people watching us as we draw along«
side, all staring over. the 'rail,jand. -froln-_
the forecastle, and from the poop,‘as one:

 
 
 

 

them iookmg sea-sick,1‘t'nougnt', as they
overhung the side. .

Aline was thrown from the ship, and
the boat hauled under the guard-arm
whip. where she lay rising and falling,
carefully fended off from the vessels iron
side by a couple of men in her.

“Now, then, bear a hand i" shouted a
voice from the poop. “Get your gang-
way unshipped, and stand by to hoist
away hansomely.” .

A minute later a large chair with arms
dangled over our heads, and was caught
by the fellows in the boat.

“ Now, madam,” said the second mate,
“will you please seat yourself in that
chair?” \

Grace was very white, but she saw that
it must be done, and with set lips and in
silencewas helped by the sailors to seat
herself. I adored her then for her spirit,
for I confess that I had dreaded she
would hang back, shriek out, cling to me,
and complicate and delay the miserable
business by her terrors. She was se-
curely fastened into the chair, and the
second mate paused for the chance.

“ Hoist away i” he yelled, and up went
my darling, uttering one little scream
only as she soared.

“ Lower away!” and by the line that
was attached to the chair she was
dragged through the gangway, where I
lost sight of her.

It was now my turn. The chair de-
scended, and I seated myself, not with-
out several yearning glances at the slop-
ing side of the ship, which, however, only
satisfied me that there was no other
method by which I might enter the vcs-
sel than the chair, active as I was.

“ Hoist away i” was shouted, and up I
went, and I shall not readily forget the
sensation. My brains seemed to sink
into my boots as I mounted. For some
breathless moments I dangled between
heaven and ocean, and presently I was
out of the chair at Grace’s side stared
at by some eighty or a hundred emi-
grants, who had left the bulwarks to
congregate on the main-deck.

“ Will you step this way?" exclaimed a
voice overhead.

On looking up, Ifound that we were
addressed by a short, somewhat thick-
set man, who stood at the rail that pro-
tected the forward extremity of the
poop-deck. This was the person who
had talked to us through the speaking-
trumpet, and I at once guessed him to
be the captain. I took Grace by the hand,
and conducted her up a short flight of
steps and approached the captain, rais-
ing my hat as I did so, and receiving
from him a sea-flourish of the tall hat he
wore.

“Is that your yacht, young gentle-
man?” said he, bringing his eyes from
Grace to me, at whom he had to stare up
as at his mast-head, so considerably did
I tower over the little man.

“ Yes,” said I; “ she is the Spit-fire,—
bclongs to Southampton. I am very
much obliged to you for receiving this
lady and me.”

“ Not at all,” said he looking hard at
Grace. “ Your wife, sir?”

“No,” said I, greatly embarrassed by
the question and by the gaze of the ten
or dozen passengers who hung near,
eying us intently and whispering, yet for
the most part with no lack of sympathy
and good nature intheir countenances.
I saw Grace quickly bite upon her under
lip, but without coloring or any other
sign of confusion than a slight turn of
her head, as though she viewed the yacht.

“But what have you done with the
rest of your people, young gentleman?"
inquired the captain,

“My name is Barclay,——Mr. Herbert
Barclay; the name of the young lady to
whom I am engaged to be married."
said I, significantly, sending a look along
the faces of the listeners, “is Miss Grace
Bellassys, whose aunt, Lady Amelia
Roscoe, you may probably have heard
of.”

“ With regard to my crew—” I con-
tinued, and told the captain they had
made up their minds to carry the vessel
home.

“ Miss Bellassys looks very tired,” ex—
claimed a middle-aged lady with gray
hair, speaking with a gentle, concerned
smile engaging with its air of sympathet-
ic apology. “If she will allow me to
conduct her to mycabin ”

“By all means, Mrs. Barstow,’ cried
the captain. “If she has been knocking
about in that bit of a craft there through-
out the gale that’s been blowing, all I
can'say is, she'll have seen more tumb-
ling and weather in forty-eight hours
than you’ll have any idea of though I
was to keep you at sea for ten years in
this ship."

Mrs. Parstow with a motherly manner
approached Grace, who bowed and
thanked her, and together thev walked
to the companion-hatch and disappeared.

The captain asked me many questions,
many of which I answered mechanically,
for my thoughts were fixed upon the
little yacht, and home,—and with them
only, not with her.

The captain inquired a little too curi-
ously sometimes. So Miss Bellassys
was engaged to be married to me, hey?
Was she alone with me? No relative, no
maid, nobody of her own sex in attend-
ance, hey? To these questions the ladies
listened with an odd expression in their
faces. I particularly noticed one of
them; she had sausage-shaped curls,
lips so thin that when they were closed
they formeda fine line as though pro-
duced by the single sweep of a camel’s-
hair brush under her nose; one pupil
was considerably larger than the other.

 

,

wnich gave her a very staring knowmg
look on one side of her face; but there
was nothing in my responses to appeasi,

min Parsons,” said I, for the secono
mate had given me the skipper’s name,
“of our promptly falling in with some-
thing homeward bound’ that will land
Miss Bellassys and me?”

“ I’ll signal when I have a chance,” he
answered, looking round the sea and
then up aloft.

“ How far are we from Penzance, cap-
tain?" I inquired.

“Why,” he answered,
hundred and fifty miles.”

“If that be so, then," I cried, “our
drift must have been that of a balloon.”

“Will these poor creatures ever be
able to reach the English coast in that
broken boat?” exclaimed one of the
ladies, indicating the Spitfire, that now
laly dwarfed right over the stern of the
5 1p. '

“ If they are ’longshoremen—and yet I

Water sailor would be all-abroad. Have
you lunched, Mr. Barclay?"

“No, captain, I have not; neither can
I say I have breakfasted.” .

“Oh, confound it, man, you should
have said so before. Step this way, sir,
step this way.” .

At this mement a door close beside
which I was standing opened, and Grace
came out, followed by the kind lady Mrs.
Barstow. -

“Sb she Is; so she is," cried" Captain
Parsons, bursting into a laugh; “and, if
you chose, Mr. Barclay and you shall ac-
company us.”

She looked at him with a frightened
girlish air. -

“Oh, no, Miss Bellassys, said Mrs.
Barstow. “ Captain Parsons will see
that you get safely home; and I wish
that we could count upon arriving at
Ottaga as speedily as you will reach
England.”

Just then a man in a camlet jacket
entered the saloon. He was the head
steward, and Captain Parsons immedi-
ately called to him :

“ Jenkins, here. This lady and gentle-
man have not breakfasted; they have
been shipwrecked, and wish to lunch.
You understand? And draw the cork of a
quart bottle of champagne—There is no
better sea-physio, Miss Bellassys.”

Our lunch consisted of cold fowl and
ham and champagne,-—good enough meat
and drink, one should say, for the sea,
and almost good enough, one might add,
for a pair of love-sick doves,

“How is your appetite, my darling?"
said I. , ‘ ‘ .

“ I think I can eat a little of that cold
chicken."

“This is very handsome treatment,
Grace. Upon my word, if the captain
preserves this sort of behavior I do not
believe we shall be in a very great hurry
to quit his ship.”

“ Is not she a noble vessel ?” exclaimed
Grace, rolling her eyes over the saloon.
“After the poor little Spitfire’s cabin!
And how different is this motion ! It
soothes me, after the horrid tumbling of
the last two days.”

“ This is a very extraordinary adven-
ture,” said I, eating and drinking with a
relish and an appetite not a litle height-
vned by observing that Grace was mak-
ing a very good meal. “ It may not end
so soon as we hope, either. But no
matter, my own. We are together, and
that is everything."

She took a sip of the champagne that
the steward had filled her glass with, and
said, in a musing voice, “ What will the
people in this ship think of me?”

“ What they may think need not
trouble us.” said I. “I told Captain
Parsons that We were engaged to be
married. Is there anything very extra-
ordinary in a young fellow taking the
girl he is engaged to out for a sail in his
yacht, and being blown away and nearly
wrecked by a heavy gale of wind?”

“ No, but they will know better,” she
exclaimed, with a pout.

“Well, I forgot, it is true that I told
the captain we sailed from Boulogne.
But how is he to know your people don’t
live there?” .

“ It will soon be whispered about that
I have eloped with you, Herbert,” she
exclaimed.

“Who’s to know the truth if it isn’t
divulged, my pet?” said I.

“ But it is divulged,” she answered.

I stared at her. She eyed me wistfully

as she continued, “I told Mrs. Barstow _

the story. I am not ashamed of my con-
duct, and I ought not to feel ashamed of
the truth being known.”

There was logic and heroism. in this
closing sentence, though it did not
strictly correspond with the expression
she had just now let fall as to what the
people would think. I surveyed her
silently and after a little exclaimed.—

“ You are in the right. Let the truth
be known. A I shall give the skipper the
whole yarn, that there may he no ms ::_2«
derstanding; for, after all, we may have
to stick to this ship for some. days, 3.11.1
it would be very unpleasant to find our-
selves misjudged.”

Successful Mechanics.

In this country there is practically
no end to the number of men who
found a trade the most valuable of
all helps on the road to fame and for-
tune, says the Ladies’ Home Journal.
There is Thomas A. Edison, the
greatest genius of our day. ' Learning
telegraph); was the first thing that led
him into intimacy with electricity;
which has ended with him becoming
its master; Andrew Carnegie was a
telegrapher; Charles Pratt, who did
more to help young men to acquire
trades than any man whom I can
mention, started in life as a machinist;
Judge Daniels, of the Supreme Court
of the State of New York, was a shoe-
maker; Wiiliam R. Grace, who was
Mayor of New York, and who is worth
some $20,000,000, was a butcher; the
late George Jones, who, as editor of
the New York Times, was one of the
most powerful men of his day, was a
printer’s “devil” in the same office
with Horace Greeley, when both were
boys; Jay Gould, the great financier,
was firstatanner and then a surveyor.

Rev. John R. Dix, D. D., who
preaches to the wealthiest congrega-
tion in the world, began life as a car-
penter; Philip Armour, the Chicago
millionaire, wasa moulder; the late
John Kelly, the famous politician,
wasa grate seller; John D. Rocke-
feller, now worth $125,000,000, wasa
mechanic in iron; Rev. Robert Coi-
lyer, D. D., was a blacksmith; Jesse
Seiigman, the eminent banker
and philanthropist, laid the foun-
dation of his for-tune by study-
ing in the very poor night trade
schools that existed when he was
young; United States Senator Hill, of
New York, was a printer; the late.
Henry W. Grady, the greatest orator
the South has given us since the days .
of Calhoun, was alSo a printer. And
so it goes. I could give scores of
other names of men who were me-
chanics or were skilled in the trades,
and became great after serving iaitli-
fully at their various tasks. ‘

Justice in Russia.

A characteristic case of wisdom from
the bench is quoted in the metropoli-
tan press, as an illustration of rural
manners in the interior. of Russia.
In Kiev, two peasants stole from‘a
widow three chickens, which they

killed, roasted and ate at a wedding

feast. In her suit to recover damages
the court rendered the following de-
cision: “Whereas, the stealing, kill-
ing, roasting and consuming of chick-
ens when a wedding is celebrated are
customs practiced in the whole dis-
trict and sanctioned by tradition, the
plaintiff is not entitled to the pay she
claims for her stolen property. But
in order to discourage the people in
general from following such folllsh
customs, the court orders that thirty
rods be ‘inflicted on each of the de-
fondants.”—N. Y. Sun.

One time there was a. young gote
wich felt butty, and there was a ole
ram wich lay in the road, half a sleep,
a chune his cud. The gote he had
been shot up in a paster 01 his life, an
had never saw a ram, an be sed to his
sister, the gote did, “You jest stan
still an see me whips that freek off

. the face of the eith.”

" So the gote he went up before the
ram an’ stompt his feets an’ shake
his head real friteful, but the ram he
diden’t git up, but only jes 'kep a
chune his cud and wotched out be-
tween his 1 lashes. Bime by the gote
he backed of and tuke a run, an’ then
arose up in the air an’ come down
with his bed on the ram’s hed, week:
The gote’s bed was busted, but the
ole ram never wank his eye. Then the
ole ram he smiled with his mowth,
an’ sed to the buttegote’s sister,
“ Pears to me, miss, that kangaroo of

- The Horseshoe Superstition.

The horseshoe superstition still'

sticks, and junk dealers find it
profitable to keep horseshoes in
stock for sale to dwellers in the tene-

ment-house region, where a horse- '

shoe over the door is still not uncom-
mon. If all the money drawers of
small shops could be rummaged,
enough horseshoes could be found
to supply half the equines in town. The
superstition is that the shop will
do a good business so long as the
presence of the horseshoe is known
only to the shopkeeper. On a recent
rainy afternoon a neatly dressed girl
daintily picked her way across Fifth
avenue at Twentyaeighth street sud-
denly stopped, stopped, picked up a
wet and dirty horseshoe,tuckedit away
under her waterproof, and went on in

smiling anticipation of good luck—N. _

“If I ain’t a good boy,” said the er-
ring youth to his father, “it’s your
own fault. You haven’t brought me
upright. ‘Just as the twig is bent
the tree is inclined.’ ”

“To some extent, my son,” replied
the father refiectively, “you are right.
You have not been bent sufficiently,
but it is not entirely too late, even
now.” -

And he bent him across his knee in.

the good old way, and inc-lined his
right hand unto him powerfully sev-
eral times, in about the same style as
of old—Chicago Tribune.
