Last year I went to Europe on one ol
the Bn* *t vessels that ever ploughed th<
waters of tbs Atlantic. We had Iresutifuj
weather until eery near the sod of cmr
voyage , then cams a most terrible stui m
that would have sunk all on board bad i
not been for the captain. Every spar ws
laid low tbe rudder was almost useless, and
a great leak bad shown itself, threatening
to flli tbs ablp. The crew were all strong
willing men, sod the mate* were practical
rearnen < f (be first class, but slim- pump
ing for one whole nigh' sod the water stil
gaining upon them, they gave up in de*
pair, prepared to lake the boats, though
they might hare known no small boat
oou and rids such a sea. The c pa , who
had been below with his cherts, now came
op, be saw bow matters stood and. with a
ro.eethat was distinctly beard aborr tie
roar of the tsmptest, ordered erery man
to hi* post.
it was surprising to see these men bow
before the strong will of their captain, and
burry back to the pumps. The captain
ben started below to examine the leak.
JU be panned me 1 naked him If there was
any hope. •
lie looked at me, and then at the oile r
passengers, who bad crowded up to heat
the reply, an t said rebukingly.
‘Yes sir* there is Iwqss long as one
