At length the first faint streak of tho coming dawn appeared in the east, and yet the gale was nuabated. The captain was just upon (he point of leaving his Ff.and by the wheel when there came a noise that rpoke louder than the tempest. It was a rumbling, roaring, crashing noise that came to us like the knell of death. All knew in a moment what it vas. Our ship was uisin a lee shore! The morning came, and it found us with blanched cheeks and trembling limbs, and it found some, too, upon their knees in prayer. What a scene burst upon us! Kight under our lee aud not more than five miles distant was a rugged, rock bound coast. alxmt navigating the aichtiehigii Among the number was an oldish man who gave his name as .Marco Mnl.is He followed fishing for n livelihood, but his statements with regard to his qualifications qualifica-tions as a pilot were by far the most sat- ; isfactory of the lot. lie olleied lo go to j Smyrna and back with us tor $.Ti. and after some further consultation be was engaged. Nettr noon we filled away There was but little wind, not more than enough to run off two or three knots, and even that was from the northward mil eastward east-ward and as near dead ahead as possible, pos-sible, so the pilot concluded to make a "long leg", upon the starboaid tack and pass to the leeward of Sipbatito. It was 4 o'clock in the afternoon when the ship was again put about, it being intended to make a run to the eastward between liiphanto and Serpbo. The breeze had freshened a little and the reel now tan off four knots. The northern point of Siphanto bore about five oiiits ou the lee bow, about ten miles distant. i "I'm afraid we shall have to tack again," said the pilot, looking anxiously on the point of land under the lee bow "We can certainly clear that cape on this tack," returned the captain. "But I'm afraid the ship won't hold i:p to her course," resumed the pilot i "She must certainly hold up to east by north to do it, for she. makes consider- j able leeway." j i "Oh, I'll warrant her to do that." s.a'd ! the captain very confidently, and will; the air of a man who does not like tn have his ship thought incapable of doing tlio right thing. So the pilot, feeling assured that thus far all would be right, went below to get Lis supper. Ho bad been gone perhaps half an hour, when there was a sudden , shock, and in a moment nmre the ship stood Still. Marco Midas hastened upon deck, and was just in time to meet the captain at the companion way. "What docs this mean.'" cried Napton in ku angry tone. The old pilot gazed for a moment upon the shore, which was yet some live m:l-s What power should save ns now? To wear ship would r of no use, and to tack was impossible unless we could make g d carry sail enough to stand off. The captain staggered to the weather miz.en rigging and passed the order for loosing tho foretopsail. Tho yard waa pointed to the wind, and the lee sheet was hauled safely homo, but on the mi-ment mi-ment that the weather sheet was started the sail split and in a few moments more it was in ribbons! "We are gone:' uttered the mate. Aud so it seemed! The men huddled aft. but not one of them knew what to do for safety. The ship would certainly feel none of her lower sails while on tho ! wind, and the captain knew that tha , lnizzen topsail would bo of no use with- 1 out the fore. And every moment, too, ; the ship threatened to fall oil into tho trough of the sea. "Where are we?'' asked the mate. r But the captain could not tell. . " We must call the pilot." e Napton looked up into the face of his mate, but this time be made no obji c- l tions, and the pilot was accordingly sent for. The old man came up, and for a ; t while he guzed upon the surf bathed I . coast in silence. There was a bitter t smile upon his lips, and his eyes sparkled ' , with a strange light. Heat length asked ; t for a glass, and the mate obtained one, i , aud having adjiirted the focus he hand-1 1 distance, and then he calmly said: I "It's your own fault, captain." "My fault, yon lying lubber.'"' "Certainly it is," calmly returned the Tiilot. "Take that, then!" and in the heat of his passion the captain struck the old man a blow lhat sent him staggering half way across the deck. Without waiting to see the effects of his hasty outburst, Napton sprang to tho rail and urdcred all the yards to be squared. The ship bad struck upou a hard sandbar, but, as she was not going very fast at the time, and as the bar appeared ap-peared to be somewhat abrupt, she was ea sily got off, and as soon us tho h:ul backed clear of the danger, she was put tipon the starboard tack, and stood off to the northward. The pilot had turned vprj- pale, and though ' his frame shook with agitation, ; jet ha njade no movement toward tho j captain. Wo all knew that he was not j to blame, for the ship had not been kept ; tipon the course which the captain had! . promised, but the helmsman testified j that part of the time her head had l)een j as far out of the way as east-half -south, hu tcad of east by north, and upon look- ! ing t the chart we found that we must I lia vv struck on the extreme northern ptiint cf the bar.
