With a wild leap, liko the leap of a man suddenly shot, tho captain left her side and rushed on to tlie bridgo. At the same iu- - tant the engine bell rang and tho steering chains begun to rattle furiously on iho rollers at her foot as tho steam steering gear did Its work. Then came another yell. it's a whaler no lights! and an answering shriek of terror from some big black object that loomed ahead. Before tho echoes had died away, before thopj-a- t ship could even answer to holm, there was a crush, such as Augusta had nover heard, and a sickening shock, that threw her on her liands mid knocs on to tha dock, shaking tlie Iron masts till they trembled as though they were willow wands, and making the tinge sails flap and for un Instant fly aback. Tho grout vessel, rushing along at her frightful spood of seventeen knots, had plunged Into tho ship ahead with such hideous energy that tho cut her clean in two and passed over her as though she wore a pleasure boatl Siinok upon shriek of despair came piercing tho gloomy night, and then, as Augusta struggled to her feet, she felt a horrible succession of bumps, accompanied by a crushing, grinding uoiso. It was the Kangaroo driving right over the remains of the whaler. In a very few seconds it was dono, and looking astern, Augusta could just make out something black than beemed to float for a second or two upon the water, and then disappear Into its deptlis. It was tho shattered hull of tho whaler. Then there aroso a faint murmuring sound, that grow first Into a hum, then into a roar, and then into a clamor that rent tho skios, and up from every hatchway and cabin in the great ship, human beings men, women aud children, catno rushing and'tumbling with fuces white with terror white as their night gear. Some were absolutely naked, having slipped off their night dross aud had no time to put on anything else; some had put ou ulsters and great coats, others had blankets thrown round them or carried their clothes In their hands. Up they came, hundreds and hundreds of them (for there were a thousand souls on board tho Kangaroo), pouring ft like terrified spirits flying from the mouth of holl, and from them arose such a hideous clamor as few have lived to hear. Augusta clung to tho nettings to lot the rush go by, trying to collect her scattered senses and to prevent herself from catching the dreadful contagion of the panic. Being a brave and cool headed woman, sho presently succeeded, and with her returning clearness of vision sho realized that sho and all on board were In great peril. Then suddenly she began to think of the others. .Whore was Lady Holmhurst? and where were tho boy and tbo nurse? Acting upon an Impulse she did not stay to realize, she ran to tho saloon hatchway. It was fairly clear now, good VW TYtl TvrWY X1VU " 1 " Suppose, my dear, answered great lady, laying her little hand upon Augustas beautiful hair, that you were to drop tho Lady Holmhurst' and call me Bessie? It pounds so much more sociable, you know, and, besides, it is shorter and does not waste so much breath. Then Augusta sobbed outright, for her nerves were shaken. "You don't know what your kindness means to me," she I hare never had a friend, and said. since mv darling died I have been so very lonely. YTf.

But even as they talked, somewhere up in tho high heavens, tho Volco that rules the world spoke a word and tho Messenger of Fate rushed forth to do its bidding. On board the great ship was music and laughter and tho sweet voices of singing women; but abovo it hung a pall of doom. Hot the most timid heart dreamed of danger. What danger could there be aboard of that grand ship, which sped across the waves with tho lightness and confidence of the swallow? Thor was naught to fear. A prosperous voyego was drawing to its end, and mothers pnt their bates to sleep with as sure a heart as though they were on solid English ground. Presently Lady Holmhurst got tip from her chair and said she was going to Led, but that, first of all. sho mubt kiss Dick, her littlo boy, who slept with his nnrso in another cabin. Augusta rose and went with her, and they both kissed tho sleeping child, a bonny boy of 5, and then they kissed each other and separated for the night. Borne hours afterward Augusta woke np, feeling very restless. For an hour or more sho lay thinking of Mr. Tombey and many other things, and listening to the swift lap, lap," of the wntoras it slipped past the vessel's sides and tho occasional tramp of the watch ns they set fresh sails.
