v t cwwwwwwsmw STORIES OF THE SEA,” By EDWARD JENKINS, M,P. Sir Benjamin htid been more th'rn turky in finding a wife every way as clever and its ambitious as himself. She was devoted IN the joint interest, and promoted it by every merits in hrr i():) t pow‘cr. Nothing was too low or high for her {to attempt. She resolved that they should be asked to the. " x ' parties at Chiswick, and they were asked. In her Canadian home She had been known to spend her mornings in whipping cream and pre- paring conipates with her own hands for an evening ballâ€"supper to the Governor-General. It had always le-n a mystery who she was and where she had come from. It was known that Mr. Peaknian had first. met her at Baden. It. was said she had been known as Countess Stracchino, and of course that her first husband was dead. It was a favourite joke with the. offiâ€" cers of the garriSon at. Quebec to say that she was "the real cheese." _\\'hat- ever might have been her early history, her later days were in every way exâ€" emplary. She bore children to Mr. Preakman. She aided him in all his ef- forts. She led society in the ancient city of Quebec over the heads of ladies who were great-granddaughters o earls and third cousins of the wives of marquises. Every attempt to oust her had failed. She patronised the Anglican Church of the colony, anti was, in the estimation of the Bishop. it.s.real defender of the faith. She was omnipotent. Success always stirs up hatred. She was widely and thoroueliâ€" ly hated. There was a good deal in her that laid lier open to attack. Her manners were a trifle vulgar, her pio- nunciation and grammar were not unexreptionable. Her face and figure were} neither handsome nor elegant. But nothing could stand against the combination of a millionaire with a conciliatory manner and the spouse of a millionaire with the ambition to rule. . This lady had been the mother of several children, as we have already said but of these only one survived in» fancyâ€"the daughter, bliss Arminta. A pretty girl, with a nice fresh complex- ion, a straight nose, beautiful .blue eyes, brown hair, swee‘ lips, rather too full.for perfect form, and a dimpled chin. Now the. Lady Peakman and her daughter had the best cabin in the ship, except the captain's, to wit, the large cabin which was immediately le- hind the captain‘s chair in the saloon -â€"at the end of the port passage. Their maids occupied the next room, with a narrow gangway between. Sir Ilenja- min preferred the inner line of cabins on the other side of the passage and had one to himself some few numbers down towards the middle of the ship. It ,was in the afternoon of the second da. out. Neither the knight nor his in ies h’ld thought it disereet to atâ€" tempt to leave their cabins. [Lady Peakman in the lower berth, and Ara- minta in the upper. lay panting and screaming and dozing and trembling, in turns, all through the dismal hours, as the great vessel for its part rolled pitched, vibrated, shrieked and groan- ed like a vast tormented Cyclops. "Oh! Oh! shrieked Lady Peakman. "Maria, Maria! The â€"â€"Therel Go this instant and 1911 Sir Benjamin I'm dying. Tell him to come to me immeâ€" diately. I have something to say to him before I go." "Yes, riiy lady," said the. unhappy maid, rushing out of the room with suspiCious alacrity and throwug herâ€" self into the opposite cabin, where for a few minutes she mingled her tears andâ€"â€"well, we won't go into particulars â€"â€"witht those of Miss Fanny Ringdove, the young lady's maid. By-and-by she returned to Lady Pcakman, who had begun. again to shaut for her. "Sir Benjamin's compliments, my lady, and he is very ill himself, or he would come to you immediately, but he dare not leave his berth. He would like to say a few words to you, my lady, if you could go to him, in case the worst should happen." ‘ “Oh, the wretchi" sighed my lady. “ Ararnintal Arâ€"amin-tal Do you hear?" " Yes, mammal" very feebly. "I'm dying, do you hear? and your ifather won't come to me! Oh, I know it? I have: a presentirnent that we‘re going to the. botlon. Mari'il Maria! Bo quick l " In rushed the unhappy maid again, and produced that basin which is at case our horror and our relief when we yield to the antic tricks of the bounding sea. But alas! alas! the girl herself was uncontrolably ill.

" \Ve'i‘e near the \\'(tl‘>[ of it." The instant he speaks, high tip to heave-n. right in front of them, he:th the. bow of the great vessel. The twe inen. holding on to the stanchiuns, of the bridge like grim death, and know» ing that something is coming, cast an eye through the drift up the long in- cline of deck before them, up to the farthest end, where for a moment they catch a glimpse of two men, like themselves, hanging on there with desâ€" perate vigour to lee and weather braces. ’lliun there is a moment's poise; the whole of the mighty bulk of the steamer scents to be balanced somewhere about the middle of the keel. on the top of a shivering moun- tain; then there is a sudden twist of the mountain beneath them. as it throws the vessel Conteinptuousiy off its Shoulder side-wise with an angry shudder! Down a terrific yawning pit into a seaâ€"green hell rushes the great chip, rolling, as she runs, over on her llee beam, till the boiling waves hiss up the scuppers and into the water‘- ways, and now suddenly recovering herself with a mighty trembling and straining. in the midst of which the huge flukes of the screw are released from the water, and fly round with a roaring noise and a prodigious vi- bration that can be heard and felt by every soul on board, she slowly rolls back again on the weather beam; and then, with a mighty roar, a huge green curl of seething waters raise afright- ful crest for twenty feet. above the bulwarks on the weather bow, and looking and moving like a thing of life, menacing with annihilation the twu awestruck men beneath, dashes some thirty tons of water over on the up» per deck. See, where it sweeps along, hissing, boiling, prancing, swirling; four feet deep from how to stern, and then finding no ready outlet. thrashes away some ten or fifteen feet of but- wark, and pours back in a torrent to the sea from whenth it had leaped. The noble vessel, shaking herself free from the tormenting wave, rises again proudly to her work, anti bids defiance. once more. to the giant powers of storm and sea. This was what the two officers saw, and they breathed more freely whe'n out of the seething waters the two look-outs eirierged, still hanging: on nianfully, and shaking the watt-r out of their eyes; and hats, as half frightâ€" ened and half laughing they tried to look at each other ac ‘oss the. deck, and to shout congratulations which could not be heard. But in hurtling,r along the space of deck confined by the bulwarks, the wa- ter, foiled in its deadlinr purpose, reâ€" solved to iii'tke tiialicious use. of its assumed right of way. As it rushed round the stern th’t'k'lltlllSE'S. gatherâ€" ing momentum from the upward in~ Cline of the. triumphant bow and the starboard roll of the. vessel, a mass of water was thrown with great force againâ€"it the closed door or the little. g-ingway at the. top of the coiiipanâ€" ion on the starboard side, and of the. door next to it, which was! that of the purser's robin ’l'lie impact of a ton or two of fluid was too much for the st rung brass fastenings of these deâ€" fences. and in an instant bursting them in. the uproai'ious water rushed on, and tumbling down the stairs in a green cascade, scetlied and gambolled tumultuously along the. passages, overâ€" topping the conibings of the. nearer cabins, and flooding the floors with briny foam. Shi'ieks went up on every side. Forgetting n'iiiser :iiitl rbcency together, men and “'Clnl”!l jurupr-tl out of their berths, splashing into tlm cold water. and, dashing out of their can ins into the long passages, clasped each other with newâ€"born fervour for the brotherhood Illufl sisterhood of hit- bold intrusion. than she llli'lv‘tl lrcrp-irt to 111-» tinivt-rs'il chorus.

"My tlear young.r lar’y " said the per» ‘lb‘lll'lll fioiii below. :tit‘king out hi~ nightâ€"capped head, and shout rig as lnllri as he could, in a vain effort to rise superior to the horrible racket. “pray, pray be. quiet 1 I‘ll do you no harm whatever.", "(i dear, Otlcar!

The man jumped out of the berth in desperation and the woman went off in a fit. Miss Araminta, thus rudely cast off, h‘lti caught hold of the brass balu» trade. at: .her side to keep herself from being thrown down the stairs. At this moment a gentleman ran up from below. eiivaloped in an ulster. Notwithstanding lli~ excitement, which was however not that abject terror from the outbreak of which he. was es‘ t'apiiig, he ortiltl 110i help appreciatitit.r in an instant, in all its absurdity, the scene before him. Poor little Araâ€" rriinta, pale as a sheet, and with utterâ€" ly inefficient scarlet jackot and white fluttering muslin, as she. clung to the side of the companion, was gazing awe» struck at the apparition of the. lady above. her, dressed as we have describâ€" ed, who no sooner saw the gentleman than she whipped out of the. gangway and into the storm again. Hardly able to suppress his laughter, the. newâ€"comer addressed the trembâ€" ling damsel. -"Pray, miss, don't. be frightened. There can be nothing the matter. A little water has burst in; but, don’t you See, we should all have. been at the bottom long ago if anything really serious had occurred. Take my arm. Here, put on my coal;;" and throwing, off his ulster, the youth, who was dressed, wrapped it around shivering little Araminta, and buttoned her in safely, and then asked where she would be. taken to. "Oh, to Captain \Vindlass, to the captain's cabin, please. I‘ni'so fright:â€" exit-d!" .Cl'he young man made. no reply. ‘ He did as he was told, carrying the young lady in his warm ulster up to the deck and into the cabin of which we have spoken, the door of which was open. 'lhere. was a foot of water within, the combing retaining it, but he :pla-lietl through this and laid her on the sofa. "Where is Captain \\in(ll:iss.‘” said little Ai‘amirita. "Oh, please find him, sir; ask him to get, me a place. in his boat." The young man saw that she was wandering, and with great delicacy he said, "llo believe, me, that. there is no danger. May lgo and fetch your father?" 'sz, do, please. Sir llciijamiii l‘eakriian, No. 35. God bless you! thank you; thank you ever so much!" 'lho young grritleniau forthwith tie,â€" parted in search of the knight. As he. descended the companion he heard It tremendous row below. 'l'he it-atier must terrieiiiber that all this time the steamer had been pitcliitit: and rollâ€" in}.r as. nuitily as ever. 'l‘he water downstairs was running out. of the. passage and into the \thlt‘l»\\'IlyS at the gnngwriy (11 either side. of the mainâ€" hatch. ’lhe. excited passengers had been calmed down by the stewards, and were returning to their berths. The, cabins were being swabbed out by boys, who, laughed as they listened to the groans of the shivering victims. Brit at Lady l’eakruan's cabin things had not settled down as quietly as elsewhere.
