CHAPTER XII—CONTINUED..,, While the men stood hesitating, the mists rose all round tbe ship, and we saw, to our amazement, that a stir was taking place upon her decks. Yes there could be no doubt of tbe fact a boat was preparing to leave her sides, and, freighted with human beings, push away for the shore.

Never shall I forget that 6ight. Just in the lee of the crippled vessfel, under the cloud of white smoke which rose for a moment high above her remaining mast, there was a heaving patch whero the boat could float in safety but beyond it. and nearer to us, the waves rose again in awful crested b'.ilows whirling und swirling toward the shore. Seen from our point of vantage the boat seemed a mere cockle-shell but we saw the tiny specks crowding into it, while the broken water streamed like milk over the vessel's deck and down er tfcer ward sides. ••God help them!" I cried aloud,and more than one voice echoed my prayer.

Tho boat pushed off. The underSWPII caught her and rushed her along at lightning speed, and in a few moments she reached the broken water, There the wind seemed to smite her sidelong, and she was buried instantaneously in tho trough of the sea. But she reappeared, half-smothered in surf and flying foam. Then we saw, vapidly approaching her, a mountainous and awful wave.

The little boat, as if it were a livingthing, seemed to see it too, and to struggle to escape. Sick with horror, I covered my eyes I could not look. Then I heard a deep groan from the men around me, and looked again.

The boat had gone, never to reappear. The mighty wave had broken and was roaring shoreward, and amid icS foam I saw, or seemed to see, shapes that struggled, sank and died. "Man th«s lifeboat!" I cried, "Quick, lads, follow me!"

My uncle gripped me by the arm. ••Too late, lad! There's neer a soul to save aboard." "Look yonder!1' I answered, pointing seaward. "There are living men on the deck still, and in the rigging. Come!"

The lads, who were English born and had their hearts in the right places, responded with a cheer, and down the path we rushed till we reached the shore. Entering the boathouse we-soon had the boat baled and ready for launching, when I first realized, to my dismay, that we were short-handed, several of my be3t men being away. But two strong lads from the mine volunteered, and my uncle made a third, and so we made a crew. To every man I gave a cork life-belt, and tied one on myself. Then, taking my place in the stern, I urged on my men, as with shouts and yells, scarcely heard amid the roar of water, they ran the boat into the creek.

Each man knew his place. They urged the boat, bow forward, into the surge, and waded with it, those the %ui-Vuest iroiirtne snore wading breastdeep in the waves. Thrice we were beaten back, and I thought the boat would have been dashed to pieces on the beach, but at last she floated, the oars smote the boiling surge, and we crept out to sea.

Once fairly afloat we realized for the first time the strength and fury of the storm. Clouds of flying foam covered us, the strong seas caught the oars and almost them from our grasp, and for a time we scarcely seemed to gain a foot of way. But the lads put out their strength, and sheer muscle nnd bold, heroic will conquering at last, the lifeboat left the shore.

And now I alone, standing in the stern sheets, with the steering oar in my hand, could see what mountainous Beas wc had to pass before we could reach tho doomed vessel, which was now scarcely discernible through the sheet of low-flying spray. As some great wave came near, curling high ibove us. I cheered on the men, and ive met it with a shock like thunder and a rattle of every plank of which ihe boat was made. More than once the seas made a clean broach over us. but the air tight compartments and cushions of cork kept us from actually foundering. On we went, with the light of the kindling east turning from red to reddish gold behind us, »nd the mists, struck by the new i*adiauce, thinning to seaward and so,

Stuck fast on the cruel reef, her back broken, she was struggling like 1 crippled bird- lying over, with her leeks and funnel inclined towards the liore, and quivering through and lirough with every blow of the strong etallic waves.

Either I was mad, or dreaming,' or the face I gazed upon was that of die love of my boyhood—Madeline Graham!

CHAPTER XIII. MADELINE GK.YHAM.

Yes I knew her in a moment. The lurid light of the tempestuous morning shone full upon her face, and on the clinging dress and cloak, which more exposed than hid her lovely form. Her eyes were wildly fixed, her face pale as death but in her features there was a splendid self-posses-sion far removed from common fear.

Though so many years had passed since we Inst met. she was still the same only taller and more womanly, and even more strangely beautiful than when she had first shed love and rapture on my boyish heart.

She was fastened to the mast by a rope. Her feet were bare, and I saw, to my horror, that all she wore save the great fur cloak was a night dress of white cotton, reaching to her feet. Her hair fell over her shoulders in loose and dripping folds, descending almost to her waist. Peering more closely, I perceived that her lips were blue, and her form shivering with cold indeed, it was a miracle that she had not perished in the ehltt o( that en,el night.

From that moment I saw nothing but that one figure all others were blurred and practically unseen. In my wild amazement and eagerness to reach her, 1 could have sprung into the tossing waves.

The vessel lay sidelong, her decks turned toward the shore and the fierce billows, striking her seaward sides, broke with a thunderous roar and a cloud of spray, and then came surging down the slippery decks in a thin sheet of foam, boiling round the naked feet of the solitary maiden.

We'hung off for a minute, to let one great sea go by then we swept alongside. What followed was more like a dream than waking reality. But with an eager cry I leaped upon the deck, and staggered up towards Madeline Graham.

Twice I slipped to my knees, and was driven back and bruised agai4st the bulwarks but the third time I sujc^ ceeded. and reaching her side, clung to the ma^t and gazed into her facje. "Madeline!" I cried.

Her eyes 1 *nine, but she gave fao sign of rec m, It was clear that what I_roj

fod

utterly lorgOtteii.

so vividly sJj^Wad

Drawing my clasp-knife, I cut her free, and put my arms around her to bear her back to the boat. Tho decks rocked and split beneath us, she clung to me as if in terror. Then I watched my chance and. raising her bodily in my arms, carried her to tbe vessel's side, and handed her to the men.

I was about to follow her. when I was attracted by a wild scream and, turning, I perceived the figure of another woman crawling on the deck, close to the companion. She was dark complexioned like a mulatto, and almost raked. Without a moment's hesitation I ran to her. and half lifted, half half dragged her to the vessel's side.

I now perceived that we had saved in addition to the two women, two white seamen and a black man who afterwards turned out to be the ship's cook. I clung to the bulwarks and looked around, searching for any other signs of life. "Come, lad, come!1' cried my uncle "quick! the ship's breaking up!"

I looked at the strange sailors who sat shivering in the bottom of the lifeboat. "Are there no souls aboard?" I cried. "Not one," thoy answered. All the rest had perished in the longboat in the fatal attempt to reach the shore.

There was not a moment to be lost The vessel was evidently doomed and every shock of the sea threatened to complete the work of destruction. The black funnel, almost wrenched out of the bursting decks, was leaning over terribly, and threatening every moment to crush down bodily and destroy the lifeboat.

I leaped in and scrambled to my place in tho stern. On the seat close by me was Madeline, her eyes half ciosed, her head resting on the gunnel, and at her feet was the colored woman, moaning and crying.

It was but the work of a moment to strip off my pilot coat and wrap it round Madeline's half-naked limbs but while I did so the men cried out impatiently and pushed oif. "Give way, lads!" I cried.^s?iVNow, pull pull for your lives!"

Away we went through the surging sea. Not a moment too soon did wo leave the vessel, for ere we wore thirty yards away tho decks were rent asunder and the huge funnel toppled over and fell like a battering rain upon the bulw&i-ks, which broke like tinder be nt^th tne blow.

With wind and sea to urge us on we flew saoreward,. and the strength of the men wa.i needed ratlfer to break tna to Increase our lightning speed. Again and again the great seas rose behind and threatened to engulf us,

while, uri fteeriftg oar, watched tftem and guided taj bravi boat.

At last we approached the shore, and saw a great crowd. waiting upon the shingle and swarming u^on th« cliff. Tossing liko a cork up^n the waters, we waited our chance, and then, after one huge wave had spent itself, and there was a momentary surcease of the water's power, I headed the boat's bow for the creek and we rowed in.

As the keel 6truck the sands a dozen men rushed in waist-deep to sieze the boat our men joined them, and then, with a lonj pull, a strong pull, and a great ringing cheer, tho boat was hauled high and dry, and we were safe.

My first thought was of Madeline. I lifted her out in my strong arms and carried her into the shelter of the boat-house. Her face and hands were cold as ice and she was still swooning. I called out for brandy, and, thank God! a man lianded roe a full flask. Supporting liei4 head upon tiitf shoulders, 1 moistened her lips with raw spirit, and once more, in my wild anxiety, I breathed her name.

Once more she opened her eyes and looked upon me still there was no sign whatever of recognition.

She looked wildly round her, saw the rough but kiudly faces on every side, and murmured: '•Where am IP Who calls mo?" "You are quite safe," I cried, ''safe and among friends."

Again she looked up into my face, as if stupefied. I held the iiask to her lips and she seemed to swallow a little: then a shudder ran through her frame, and she released hers-if from my hold*

I placed her on one of the wooden seats, and bent over, tenderly watching her. Gradually I saw the color come back to her cheeks, but very faintly. •'Anita," she murmured, and looked around as if seeking some one.

Tho rough fellows clustering in the boat-house murmured sympathiziugly, and whispered encomiums on her beau-

And

indeed she looked strangely lovely, evon in her desolation, her eyes brightening, her color coming and gcing, her hair streaming over her shoulders, her neck and arms and feet as wnif'-aa as driven snow! As her strength and consciousness returned, a new awe fell upon me, and 1 stood timidly watching her, She gazed at me again. "Now I understand," she said, "Tell me of the others are they saved?"

I told her the truth, and again sho shuddered, half closing her eyes as if to shut out the picture of the horrors of the wreck. At that moment some of the lifeboat's men appeared, loading with them the colored woman, who, the instant she saw Madeline, sprang toward her and knelt by her side, hysterically sobbing and kissing her hands.

Madeline bent over and addressed her in some foreign tongue—Portuguese I afterwards discovered. She answered volubly in the same speech, I suspected the truth, that this black girl was an attendant or waiting-maid of some sort, and that Madeline was her mistress.

Turning to one of tho rescued sailors who had now approached and was phlegmatically chewing a quid as if he had just been comfortably landed from a passing boat, I questtoned him concerning tho lost vessel. She was a large trading steamer, he said, bound from Demerara to the port of London her name, the Valparaiso her captain, one John Stetson, a good sailor, who had been killed by the falling of the foremast, and swept overboard. Her passage across the Atlantic had been smooth and pleasant but the night before she had experienced all the strength of the great gale, and while contending with it had broken her propeller. After that she had tried to lay-to under sail, and had she found sea room would doubtless have been able to weather the storm but as illluck would have it, the rocks of Corns wall were right under her lee, and the wind and sea swept her down upon the them,

I questioned him concerning that episode of the boat. He explained that two of the boats had been smashed into fragments when the ship struck. (To be continued.)

What is a Horse Power. When men first begin to become fam iliar with the methods of measuring mechanical power they often speculate tho breed of horses is to be found that can keep at work,raising 33,OO'J pounds one foot per minute, or the equivalent, which is more familiar to some me* chanics, of raising oO pounds 100 feet per nminute. Since 33,000 pounds raised one foot per minute i3 called one horse power, it is natural that people should think the engineers who established that unite of measurement passed it on what horses could realy do.

But the horse that can do this work doesjnot exis'* Tbe horse p:wer unite was established by James Watt about a century ago, and tne figures were fixed in a curious way. Watt found that the average horse of his district could raise 22,000 pounds one foot per minute. This, then, was an actual horse power.

At that timo Watt was emple ed in the inanufactiujp of engins, an* customers were 60 hard to tind that a I kinds of artificial induco.nents w-ro necessary to induce power users to buy steam engines As a method of encouraging them. Watt IT-red to seil engines reckoning3 ).000 foot pounds to t* horso power. And thus ho WJ»S the means of giving a false unit to one of the most important measurements in the world.
