There la a cla of speculators in bad luck and disaster wbo will reinsure aa "overdue" ship at a heavy premium. But nothing can insure the hearts on shore against the bitterness of waiting for the worst. For if a "Missing" ship has never turned up within tbe memory of seamen of my generation, tha name of an "Overdue" ship, trembling as it were on tha edge of the fatal heading, has been known to appear as "Arrived." A REPRIEVE. It must blaze up indeed with a great brilliance, she dull printers ink ex pounded on the assemblage of the few letters that form her name lo the anxious eyas scanning the page in fear and trembling. It is like the message of reprieve from tbe sentence g of sorrow suspended over many a home, evea if some of tho men ia her hare been the most homeless mortals that you may find among the wanderers of the sea. The reinsurer, th.- - speculator in and disaster, slaps his pocket with who satisfaction. The underwriter, had been trying lo minimize the amount of impending loss, regrets bis premature pessimism.

Thus run the official words of tha reprieve addressed to the heart ashore lying under a heavy sentence. And they come swiftly from the other tide of the earth, over wires and cable. for your electric telegraph ia a of great alleviator of anxiety. Detail!, uncourts, shall follow. And they may fold n tale of narrow escape, of steady of high winds and heavy weather, of Ice, of Interminable calms or endless head gales; a tale of difficulties overcome, of adversity defied by a small knot of' men upon the great loneliness of the sea; a tale of resource, of courage of helplessness, perhaps! . HELPLESS AT SEA. Of all ships disabled at sea a steamer wbo haa lost her propeller ia tha moat helpless. And If aha drifts Into aa unpopulated part of the ocean aha may soon become overdue. The menace of the "Overdue" and the finality of "Missing" come very quickly to steamers whose life, fed on coals the breathing the black breath of smoke oa In goes Into ' the sir. and wind ot disregard air, goes on In disregard of win and wave. Such a one, a big steamship too, whose working Ufa had been a record of faithful keeping time from land to land. In disregard of wind and sea, oace lost her propeller down Ska-lansouth, on her passage out to New It waa the wintry, murky timt of cold galea and heavy aeaa. With th her life snapping of her seemed suddenly to depart from her big body, and from a stubborn arm gant existence she passed all at once into the passive state of a drifting log. A ship stick with her own weakness has not tho pathos of a ship van qulahad in a battle with tha elements, where in consists the Inner drama of her life. No seaman can look without compassion upon a disabled ship, but to look at a sailing vessel with her lofty spars gone la to look upon a defeated but indomitable warrior. Thera is defiance In the remaining stumps of her masts, raised up like maimed limbo against tbe menacing acowl of a storm v sky; there Is high courage in the upward sweep of her lines towards the bow. and as soon as, on a hastily-riggespar, a atrip of canvas. Is shown to the wind to keep her head to sea. she faces the waves again wlthan unsubdued courage. THE MAGIC IF THE INVISIBLE. Tho efficiency of a steamship Is not so much in her courage aa In the power sh carries within herself. It beat a and throbs like a pulsating heart within her Iron rib, and when it stops, the steamer, whose life Is not so much a contest aa the disdainful ignoring of the sea. sickens and dies upon tha waves. The sailing ship, with her unthrobblng body, seemed to lead mysteriously a sort of unearthly existence.' bordering upon the magic of the Invisible fore-- , sustained by the ing and death-dealinspiration of tail-sha- d g liv-erpo- ol trade.

Thera waa plenty of food oj board, and I don's know whether the nerves of her passengers were ai all affected by anything else than the sense of Interminable boredom, or the vague fear of that unusual situation. Does a passenger ever feel tha life of the ship upon which he is being carried, like a sort of honored baia of highly sensitive goods? Fur a man wbo has never been a passenger it is imposible to say. Bui 1 know tiiai there is no harder trial for a seaman than to feel a dead ship under his fei. There is no mistaking tbat sensation diurnal, so tormenting, and ao subtle, so full of happiness and unrest. 1 could imagine no worse eternal punishment for the evil set men who died unrepentant upon the earthly sea than that their souls should be set a Host upon the gliosis of disabled ships, drifting for ever aerpas a ghotiy and tcnip-estotocean. THE PITY OF IT. 8he must have loosed ghostly rolling iu that snowstorm, a lark apparition on a woild of while enow flakes to the aiarlng eye of that wbsl era crew. Evidently they didn't believe In ghosts, for on her arrival into d port her captain unroniantlcally having sighted a djabled steamer in latitude about 50 deg. S. and a longitude still more uncertain. Olher steamers came out to look for her, and ultimately towed her away from the cold edge of the world into a harbour withdocka and workships, where with many blows of hammers her pulsating heart of steel was set going again to go forth presently In thu renewed pride of strength, fed on lire and water, breathing black smoke into the air, pulsating, throbbing, shouldering Its arrogant way against the great rollers in blind disdain of winds and sea. The track she had made when drifting while her heart stood still within her iron ribs resembled a tangled thread on the white paper of tbe chart It waa shown to me by a friend, her second officer. In that surprising tangle there were words in minute letters: "Gales, Heavy fogs," Ice writen' by him here and there as memoranda of the weather. She had interminably turned upap her tracks, she had crossed and recrossed her haphazard path till it resembled nothing so much as a sort of puzzling maze of pencilled Unci without a meaning. But In that maze there lurked nil the romance of the "Overdue and a menacing hint of .Missing." We had three weeka of It," he said. Just think of that. ' How did rou reel about itr 1 1 asked.
