She was twenty years old, and a trifle over a hundred tons burden. There'were five of a crow, and nothing particular hap¬ pened untjl we were abreast of the Bristol Channel, when there blew up a heavy gale of wind from the east’ard. There’;; no call to describe it; it was of the regular kind, full of wet, and raising a sea r. sight too big for a vessel of one hundred tons pretty nigh chock-a-block with coal and with twenty years of hard use in her hull. However, we scraped through the gale, and two or three more that followed fast, until one morqing we were somewhere betwixt the Soilly Isles and ihe Cornish coast. It was dark, thick weather, blowing and raininer hard. the sea rough, bitter cold—as you may calculate it was, the month being Jan nary—and everything invisible that was more than half a mile off. The wind was east and north, and we were ratehing along under very small canvas, when, being turned in, as it was my watch be low, and the Land o’Nod close aboard, I was roused up by a loud cry on deck and a bemendous crash. I tumbled up as fast as ever I could pelt, and found the „ schooner , ■ - down - and i H the men going gectmg the~oD y ->oa- we You coind j,iet s rng in P over the'deck ahd growing * .heavier ns her Bulwarks sank lower.

We couldn’t see one another and that made talking a kind of foolish¬ ness; ahd so we never spoke—which caused every one to feel himself the a lonely man upon the sea. Likewise noise of the water would sound stronger. In the daytime I took no notice, but at night I’d find myself listening to the crying of the wind up in the dark, nqd the hissing that rose all over the ocean from the breaking of the waves. “I don’t know what my mutes f|osed did; but that filter first night I Sever my eyes, tried to shut theta, rotifer thought of sleep.

God have mercy upon us !’ and Catching hold of my shoulder he stood up to search the sea, but the haze was as thick ns it had been the time, and he threw himself down with his hands over his face.
