With the fall of night the wind came away stronger and the westering ,Slm giloed a huge expanse of tumbl- mg‘, windâ€"tossed sea. Westhaver dressed in his shore clothes, was still at the Wheel. He had left it but for a moment to go below in the cabin and bring up his bottle of whisky, and with it stickin out of his pocket he sat as'tride t e wheeldbox and steered the rearing schooner. The sun, in a great ball of fire, dropped below the serrated sea-line; the sky flushed from nadir to zenith in delicately blended tints from the crimson of the west, the orange and gold of the mid- a'l'titudve to the night azure of the zenith and the si'arlit dark of the eastern heavens. It was a night for the gods! Nature’s painting of a June sunset in all the gorgeous colors and tints of her incomparable palette; the twinkling, diamond-like stars set in the deep nocturnal blue of the firm-ament overhead and to the east, and the blackness of the raging waters, windâ€"hounded and breaking in livid crests which caught the sanguinâ€" ary glare and appeared like foaming waves of blood. Drenched in the spray which slash- ed across the decks, and drinking from the bottle at intervals, the lone man at the Spokes of the Kinsella's wheel found a fit setting for his torment of soul in the wildness of the night, and as he strained at the Wheel, wild-eyed, hatless, and with hair tossing in the wind he roared strange songs which were snatched up by the breeze. He had drunk so much of the vile Ken- tucky whisky by now that ‘he was maddened with itâ€"mad, reckless, and defiant, and Jules, offend-ed and sulky, lay in his bunk ‘below and sensed the wilder plunges of the straining vessel and listened to the snatches of song which came from the skipper. Shouting his roistering old seal chanteysâ€"picked up in his boyhood} days from the singâ€"songs and con-l certs of the Bay Shore, where men| who had learned them in packet ship' and Cape Homer were wont to croak their weird melodies for the edification1 of the stay-at-homesâ€"he talked to‘ himself and felt a keen delight in then manner in which the 'brave little ves-l sel was swooping over the shouting seas. There was something in it which appealed to him, and when the tide began to back against the wind andl the schooner commenced wilder antics he roared in pleasure at the sight. Crash! The little craft staggered against a tideAbacked surge, and with the weight of the wind |behind her she! burst the solid water into a vast cloud of harmless spray which drenched the laughing and singing madman at the wheel. , “Morrissey, eh?

Over the quarter slammed a sea which filled the whole after-part of her. Westhaver hung to the spokes with the water swirling up to his knees, and as it drained off over the tafi‘rail as she lifted to the next wave he laughed in "Oh, th’ carts will creak in th’ 1 to-night, An’ th’ girls will dance to: th' I: But we’ll be out with th’ sails to An’ th’ top‘s’l sheets to hand!” “Go itâ€"you 01' pe-ddler!

The vessel staggered with a trembling in every plank and beam; the men jump-ed to their feet in apâ€" prehension, and then, with a sullen roaring above their heads, the fore- Icastle seemed to turn upside-down. lThe lamps flared and went out.

The men began to turn out, and staggering and slipping around the drenched forecastle, they changed their clothes for their sea toggery and oiled up, while the schooner ’soended and swamped her- self in the tide-whipped sea. “Feel her tremblin’, fellers? Lord; he’isi gotrth’ whole patch on her!” They lolled on the lockers, oilskin- clad and waiting for the call which they knew must come soon. In such a breeze and sea she should be down to her foresailâ€"Whole four lowers was too much for a vessel like the Mabel Kinsella, and the manner in which her staunch timbers were creaking and groaning told of the awful strain to which she was being subjected. Westhaver was still at the wheel talking and singing to himself, ané when he saw the men scrambling along the swept decksâ€"the dories had been carried awayâ€"he laughed and shouted, “Lord Harry!

He was only up a few seconds before he slammed the slide and jumped below again. Crash! An- other sea.
