Show Mark Twain's Recollections or a Storm at Sea. The following is an extract from a bvjt bi'guu by Mark Twain three yean agoj but afterward abandoned. Iir the next hour or two there wis a coustant augmentation of the Morni. Nobody did anything but !iti to the bench backs uader the dismal glimmer of the lamps (there wai no other light although the Moru'iag was well advanced), and listened to the deep booming of the .eas as they hurled themselves against the ship's didtact bows. By half-Vanina hardly auy support was to unable a man to keep his feet. At this hour ono of those hickenins lulls, ono of those dread mpcn6ions of motion which tells that a flap's center is pinnacled on a she watery Alp, and that wheu down on the and over plunges topple other side, there is goias: to be trouble and while every creature held his breath, she trembled for a inoraeut, and down she went! And with her went everybody, sprawling to the flaor. There was a terrific crash, "M if eha struck tha rvik of (iibralter, and in that instant q a went bodily over her, breaa skylight on the upper deck, beiC. hi tho thick bars of an iron fence till they curved like bows, splitting in two, and carrying away half of a tihort board three inches thick, that was tathed high away upon the bridge, and passing into the ocean again from the upper deck on the other side of tho vessel, riddled a to splinters, and t strong swept it overboard, along with one of the great iron davits. And down on our deck it smashed in the starboard EilGIrS HOUSE, I believe some people will lie even in the very presence of the grave, if to tell tho truth would make them blush. I got a match (had plenty in my pocket) and came out thinking it couldn't be much ef a storm after all. Thus, one man had scared me when the sea failed to do it, and now another had completely restored my tranquility and neither bad employed more than a look and a word.
