For the sea swallows up 21 won- derful store of wealth every season ; and it meant to have our ship. too, that year I was made mate, only we escaped it. It happened like this. We were bound for Cadiz in alurgc, handsome, new brig, having on board a rich cargo; for besides a heavy value in gold,we had had been made for the Spanish govern- ment by one of our large manufacturers somewhere inland. But, besides this, there was a vast quantity of iron,in long, heavy cast pillars. A huge weight they were, and we all shook our heads at them as they were lowered down into the hold, for we thought of what a nice cargo they would turn out, if we should have a heavy passage. We had about a score of passengers, too, and amongst them was a fine gentlemanly fellow, going out with his wife, and he was to superintend the fitting up of the machinery, several of the other passengers being his men. It was a new, well-found vessel, and fresh in her paint; and with her clean canvass, and all smart, we were rather proud of that boat. But we’d only just got beyond the Lizard when it came on to blow, just as it can blow off there in February, with rain,and snow, and hail; and we were at last glad to send before 1the gale under bare poles. Nights and day, then, night and day following one another fast, with the hat- ches battencd down, and the ship labor- ing so that it seemed as if every minute must be her last. She was far too heavily laden; and instead of her being a ship to float out the fiercest storms,hcre we were loaded down, so that she lay rolling and pitching in a way that her seams began to open, and soon every hand had to take his turn at the pumps. The days broke heavy and cloudy, and the nights came on with the darkness awful, and the gale seeming to get fiereer and fiercer, till at last, worn out, sailors and passengers gave up, the pumps were abandoned, and refusing one and all to stay below, men and women were clus- tered together, getting the best shelter they could. ‘I don’t like to see a good new ship go to the bottom like this,7 I shouted in one of my mates’ ears, and he shouted back something about iron ; and I nodded, for we all knew that those great ~pillars down below were enough to sink the finest vessel that ever floated. J ust then I saw the skipper go below, while the gentleman who was going to auperintend was busy lashing one of the life-buoys to his wife. ‘That ain‘t no good,’ I shouted to him, going up on hands and knees, :‘or the sea at times was enough to wash you overboard, as she clipped and rolled as though she would send her masts over the side every moment. But I got to where they were holding on at last; and IQ}; 9f xaluablc new mdchinery, that Hope ouâ€"hope ever-â€" Dejection never Yet won man or station, And toil, though vain, At least will gain" Kind friendship’s approbation.

Teef‘h ESQ} seeing that, landsman-Iike, he knew no- thing of knottifig and lashing, I made the self-buoy fast, just as a great wave leaped over the bows, and swept the ship from stem to §tern. As soon as I could get my breath, I looked round, to find that where the mate and three passengers were standing a minute beforc,was now an empty space; While on running to the poop, and look- ing over, there was nothing to be seen but the fierce rushing: waters; ‘Wcll,’ I said, shouting again, ‘if I was captain, I should run all risks, and get some of that iron over the Sldc.’ Just then Mrs. Vallanee turned upon me such a pitiful look, as she took tighter hold of her husbandâ€"2.10014: that. seemed to say to me: ‘ ()1), save him, savehim ‘.’ And I don’t know how it was, but feeling that something ought to be done7 I crept along once more to the captain's cabin, and going down there, in the dim light, I got back to where those two were clinging together, and though feeling sel- fish, as most men would, I couldn’t help thinking how sad it would be for a young couple like them to be lost, for I knew well enough that though she was lashed to the life-buoy, the most that would do would be to keep her afloat till she died of cold and exhaustion. ‘ Can nothing be done?’ Mr. Vallancc â€"for that was his nameâ€"shouted in my ear. “Vhy don’t be do it, then ?’ he ex- c‘zaimcd ; and of course being nobody on bnard that ship, I could only Shake my head. ' I could scelhim betting on a locker, with a bottle in his hand, and a horrible wild stupid look on his face, which told me in a moment that he wasn’t a fit man to have been trusted with the lives of forty people in a good new ship. Then I stood half-bewildered for a few moments, but directly after I was up on deck, and alongside Mr. Vallance. ‘Will you stand by me, sir,’ I says, ‘if I’m took to task for what I do ?’ ‘ What are you going to do ‘E’ he says. ‘ Shy that iron over the side.’ ‘To the death, my man 1’ ‘ Then lash her fast Where she is,4 I said, nodding to Mrs Vallancc; ‘ and in God's, name, came on.Y 1] ; knew it was a desperate thing to do, but it was our only chance; and after swinging round the fore-yard, and rig- ging up some tackle, the men saw what was meant, and gave a bit of a cheer. Then they ciustered together, passengers and men, while I shouted to Mr. Valiancc, offering him his choiceâ€"to go below with another, to make fast the rope to the pillars, or to stay on deck. He chose going below; and warning him that we should clap on the hatches from time to time, to keep out the water, I got hold of a marlinâ€"pike, loosened the tarpaulin a little, had one haieh off, and then stationed two on each side, to try and keen the 0 zoning covered every time a wave came on board. It seemed little better than making a way in for the sea to send us to the botâ€" tom at once; but I knew that it was our only hope, and persevered. Mr. Vallance and one of his men went below,the tackle was lowered, and in less time than Irex- peeted, they gave the signal to haul up. We hauledâ€"the head of the pillar came above the coamings, went high up, then lowered down till one end rested on the bulwarks; the rope was east 01?; and then, with a cheer7 in spite of the rolling of the ship, it was sent over the side to disappear in the boiling ; Another, and another, and another, weighing full six hundredweight apiece, we had over the side, the men working now working fiercely7 and with something like hope in their breasts; and then ‘I roared to them to hold fast; the taran- lin was pulled over, and I for one threw myself upon it, just as a wave came roll- ing along, leaped the bows, and dashed us here and there. But we found, to our great joy, that hardly agrop had gone below, the weight of the water having flattened down the tm‘paulin; so seizing the tackle once more, we soon had another proposed pil- lar over the side, and another, and an- otherâ€"not easily, for it was a hard fight each time; and more than once men were nearly crushed to death. It was kterrible work, too, casting them loose amidst the hurry and strife of the tem- pest; but we kept. or], fill, utterly worn out and panting, we called on Mr. Val- lance to come, when we once more so- curely buttoned down the hatch and waited for the morning. Seeing that fair words wouldn’t do, I got the tackle ready myself, and then with the marlin-spike in one hand,I went up to the first poor shivering fellow I came to, and halfilcd, halfdraggcd him to his place; Mr. Vallance followed suit with another; and one way and another we got them to work again; and though not so quickly as we did the day before, we sent over the sides tons and tons of that solid ironâ€"each pillar being cut loose darting over the bulwark with a crash, and tearing no end of the planking away, but easing the vessel, so that now we could feel the difference ; and towards night, though the weather was bad as ever, 1 began to feel that we might have a chance; for the ship seemed to ride over the waves more, instead of dipping under them, and shuddering from stem to stern. We’d been fortunate, too, in keeping the water from getting into the hold; and one way and another, what with the feeling of dutyr done, and the excitement, things did not look so black as before; when all at once a great ware like a green mountain of Water leaped aboard over the poop, flooded the deck, tore up the tarpaulin and another hatch, and poured down into the hold, followed by another and another; and as I clung to one of the masts, blinded and shaking with water, I could feel that in those two minutes all our two days” work had been undone. \Ve agreed amongst ourselves that the ship did not roll so much; and perhaps she was a little ensier, for we had sent some tons overboard ; but the difference was very little; and morning found us all numbed with the cold, and helpless to a degree. I caught- Mi‘. Vallance’s eye, and signalled to him that we should go on again; but it required all we could do to get the men to work, one and all saying that it was useless, and only fighting against our fate. ‘God help us!’ I groancd, for I felt that I had 'done wrong in opening the hatches; but there was no time for re- pluing. Dimedy the wares had passed on, rushing out at the sides, where they they had tom away the bulwarks, I ran (0 the mouth of 111C hold, for I felt that Mr. Vallance and the poor fe‘slow With him must have been drowned. I shoutcd â€" once, twice, and then there was a groan; when, seizing hold of the tackle that we had used to hoist the pil‘ laws, I was iowercd down, and began to swim in the rushing water that was surg- in” from side to side, when I felt myself clutched by a drowning man, and holding on to him, we were dragged up together. But 1 did not want the despairing look M rs. Vallanee gave me to make me go down again, and this time I .Was washed up against something, which I seized; but there seemed no life in it when we hauled in up, for the poor fellow did not move, and it was pitiful to see (he way in which his poor wife clung to him. Another sea coming on board, it was all we could do to keep from being swept off; and as the water seemed to plunge and leap (iown the haleh with a hollow tour, a chill came over me again, colder than that. brought on by the bitter wea- ther. I was so worn out that I could hardly stir; but it seemed that if I did not move, no one else would ; so shouting to one or two to help inc, I crawled fer- wurd, and got the hatches on again, inst as another wave washed over us; but before the next came, with my marlin- spilm I had contriucd to nail down the tarpaulin once more, in the hope that, ‘ though Watcrloggcd, we migh float, a little :longer. It seemed strange, but after a little provision had been Perved r0und,I begun to be hopeful once more, telling myself that, after all, water was not worse than iron, and that if' we lived to the next day, we might get clear of our new one my without taking off the hatches. We had hard work, though, with Mr. Vallaneemho lay for hours without seem- ing to shew a sign of life; but towards morning, from the low sobbing munqu I heard close by me, and the gentle tones of a man's voice, I knew that they must have brought him round. You see. I was at the wheel then, for it had come round to my turn, and as soon as I could get relieved, I went and spoke to them, and found him able to sit up. As day began to break, the wind seemed to lull a little, and soon after a little more, and again a little more, till, with joyful heart, I told all about me I had just sent some of the men aloft, and we were making more sail, when in a way that there was no need for, he orâ€"' dered them down, at the same time say- ing something very unpleasant to me. Just then 1 saw Mr. Vallance, step for- ward to where the other passengers were collected, many of them being his own men; and then, after a few words they all came aft together to Where the cap- tain stood, and Mr. Vallance acted as spokesman; that the worst was over; and it was so, for the Wind shifted round to the south and west, and the sea Went down fast. Soon, too, the sun came out; and getting a little sail on the ship, I began to steer as near as I could tell, homewards, hoping to be able before long to make out our bearings, which I did soon after, and then got the passengers and crew once more in regular spells at the pumps. We were terribly full of water; and as the ship rolled lhe night before, it was something awful to hear it rush from side to side of the hold, threaten- ing every mintte to force up the decks; but new keeping on a regular drain; the scuppers ran Well, and hour by hour we rose higher and higher, and the ship, from sailing like a tub, began to answer her helm easily, and to move through the water. It was towards afternoon that, for the‘ first time, I remember the captain, just too, as he made his appearance on deck, white looking, and ill, but now very an; gry and important.- ‘ Captain Johnson," 110 said, ‘ I am speaking the wishes of the passengers of this ship when I request you to go be- low to your cabin, and to stay there un-' til we reach port.’ ‘Not more so than the rest of the" passengers,’ said Mr. Vallance, “who; one and all agree with me that they have no confidence in you as captain; and that, moreover, they consider that by your conduct you have virtually re-' signed the command of the ship into Ma. Robinson’s hands.’ ‘Are you mad, sir W. exclaimed the captain. ‘ ‘Arc you aware, Mr. Passenger, that; Mister Robinson is one of the apprend ticcs '37 ‘ I am aware. sir, that he has carried this vessel through a fearful storm, when her appointed commander left those men and women in his charge to their fate, wlnle he, like a coward, went below to drown out all knowledge of the present with drink.7 He raved and stormed, aml then called upon the crew to help him; but Mr‘. Vallance told them that he would be answwable to the owners for their con‘ duct, and not a man stirred. I spoke to him till he turned angry, and insisted upon my keeping to the command, and backed up at last. by both passengers and crew, who laughed, and seemed to enjoy it; but I must say that, until we cast anchor in Yarmouth Roads, they obeyed me to a man. So they made the captain keep for all the world like a prisoner to his cabin until we entered the Tyne, after being detained a few days only in the Roads, where it had been necessary to refit,both of the topmasts being snapped, and the jib-boom being sprung, besides our being leaky, though not so bad that a couple of hours a day after the first clearance kept the water under. Before we had passed Harwich very far, we had the beach yawls out, one after another, full of men wanting to board us, and take us into harbor, so as to claim salvage. One and all had the same tale to tell us~that we could never get into port ourselves; and more than once it almost took force to keep them from taking possession, for, not content n 1th rendering help when it is wanted, they are only too ready to make their help necessary, and have frightened many a captain before now into giving up his charge into other hands. But with Mr. Vallance at my back, I stood firm; and somehow or another I did feel something very much like pride when I took the brig safclv into port, and lis- tened to the owners’ remarks. CONTEMPT.â€"Thel‘e is not in human na- ture a more odious disposition than a. prone- ness to contempt. 'which is a mixture of pride and ill nutnrc. Nor is there any which more certainly denotes a. bad mind; for in a good and benign temper there can be no room for this sensation. That. which constitutes an object. of contempt to the malevolent. becomes the object of other passions to a worthy and good-natured man; for in such a person, wickedness and vice must raise hatred and abhorrence, and weakness and folly will be sure to excite compassion; so that he will find no object of his contempt in all the actions of men.
