ICE BOUND. Ey W. CLARK RUSSELL, Author,/ “The Wreck of the Crowe nor' “Jack » Courtshi,,," ■■.If,, U7 ,f, h lie- ' low," 1 The Lady Ma e cl ” / /.- CHAPTER XXV. THE SrnOONF.lt 1IU3E8 HKIiSKT.K. All day long the weather remained sullen and still, and the swell [powerful. I was on deck at noon, looking at on iceberg half a league distant, when it overset. It was a small berg, though large compared with most of the others; yet such a mighty volume of foam boiled up as gave me a startling idea of tlic prodigious weight of the mass. Tlio sight made mo very anxious about my own state; and to satisfy my mind I got upon the ice anil walked round the vessel, and to get a true view of her posture went to the ex¬ treme end of the rocks beyond her bow.;.; and finally came to the conclusion that, suppos¬ ing the ice should crumble away from her sides so as to cause the weight of the schooner to render it top heavy, her buoyancy, on touching the water, would certainly tear her keel out of its frosty setting and leave her floating. Indeed, so sure was I of this that I saw, next to the ice splitting aud freeing her in that way, the best thing that could happen would be its capsizal. I regained the ship, and had paused an in¬ stant to look over the side, when I perceived the very block of ice on which I had come to a halt break front the bed with a smart clap of noise, and completely roil over. Only a minute before had I been standing on it," and thus had sixty seconds stood between me and death; for most certainly must I hat e been drowned or killed by being beaten against the ice by the swell! I fell upon my knees and lifted up my bauds in gratitude to God, feeling extraordinarily Comforted by this further mark of Ilis care of me. aud very strongly persuaded that he designed 1 should come off with my life after all. since his providence would not work so many miracles for my preservation if I was to perish by this adventure. These thoughts did more for my spirits than I can well express; and the intolerable sense of loneliness was mitigated by the knowledge that 1 was watched, and therefore not alone. The day passed I know not how. The shadow as of a tempest hung in the air, but never a cat's-paw did I see to blur the rolling mirror of the ocean. The hidden sun sank out of tiie breathless sky, tingeing the atmos¬ phere with a faint hectic, which quickly yielded to the deepest shade of blackness. The mysterious, desperate silence, however, that on deck weighed oppress! voly on every sense, as something false, menacing, and ma¬ lignant in these seas, was qualified below by peculiar straining noises iu tlio schooner’s hold, caused by the swinging of the ice upon the swell. I was very uneasy; I dreaded a gale. It was impossible but that the vessel must quickly go to pieces in a heavy sea upon the ice if she did • not liberate herself. But though this excited a depression melancholy enough, nothing else that I can recollect contributed to it. When 1 reviewed the ap¬ prehension the Frenchman hud raised, and reflected how insupportable a burden ho must have become, I was very well satisfied to lio alone. Time had fortified me; I had passed through experiences so surprising, encountered wonders so preternatural, that superstition lay asleep in my soul, and I found nothing to occasion in ino the least uneasiness in thinking of the lifeless, shriv¬ eled figure of what was just now a fierce, cowardly, untamed villain lying in the fore¬ castle. I made a good supper, built up a large fire, and mixed myself a hearty bowl of punch, not with the view of drowning my anxieties —God forbid! I was too grateful for the past, too expectant of the future, to be capa¬ ble of so brutish a folly—but that I might keep myself in a cheerful posture of mind; when I was terrified by an extraordinary loud explosion, that burst so near and rang with such a prodigious clear note of thunder through the schooner that I vow to God I believed the gunpowder below had blown up. And in this suspicion I honestly supposed myself right for a moment—for on running into the cabin I was dazzled by a crimson flame that clothed the whole interior with a wondrous gusli of fire; but this being in¬ stantly followed by such another clap as the other, I understood a thunder storm had broken over the schooner. It was exactly overhead, and that ac¬ counted for the violence of the crashes, which were indeed so extreme that they sounded rather like the splitting of enormous bodies of ice close to than the flight of elec¬ tric bolts. The hatch lay open; I ran on deck; but scarce had passed my head through the companion when down came a storm of hail, every stone as big as a pigeon’s egg; and in all my time I never heard a more hell¬ ish clamor. There was not a breath of air. The hail fell in straight lines, which tho fierce near lightning flashed up into the ap¬ pearance of giant harpstrings, on which the black hand of the night was playing those heavy notes of thunder. I sat in the shelter of the companion, very anxious and alarmed, for there was powder enough in the hold to blow the ship into atoms; and the lightning played so continuously and piercingly that it was like a hundred darts of fire, violet, crim¬ son, and sun colored, in tho grasp of spirits who.thrust at the sea, all over its face, with swift movement of the arms, as though searching for the schooner to spear her. The hail storm ceased as suddenly as it had burst. I stepped on to the deck, and observed that the storm was settling into the north¬ east, whence I concluded that what draught that might be up there sat in the southwest. Nor was I mistaken, for half an hour after tho first of the outburst, by which time the lightning played weak and at long intervals low down, and the thunder had ceased, I felt a crawling of air coming out of the south¬ west, which presently briskened into a small, steady blowing, but not for long. It fresh¬ ened yet and yet; the wrinkles crisped into whiteness on the black heavings; they grew into small surges, with sharp, cubbish snarl- ings, preludious of the lion’s voice, and by 10 o’clock it was blowing in strong squalls, the sea rising, and the clouds sailing swiftly in smoke colored rags under the stars. The posture of the ice inclined the schoon¬ er’s starboard bow to the billows, and in a bonie very short time she was trembling in every to the blows of the surges which rolled boiling over the ice there and struck her, flinging dim elondsof spume in the air, which soon set the scuppers gushing. My case was that of a stranded ship, with this difference only: that a vessel ashore lies solid to the beating of the waves, whereas the ice was buoyant ; it rose and fell, sluggishly, it is true, and *> somewhat mitigated the severity of the shocks of water. But, spite of this. I was perfectly sure that unless the bed broke un¬ der her or she slipped off it, she would be in pieces before the morning. It was not in any hull put together by human hands to resist the pounding of those seas. The weight of the mighty ocean, along whoso breast they raced, was in them, and though the wind was no more than a brisk gale, each billow by its stature showed itself the child of a giantess. sr\ An Important Announcement Wft* injjjix^ &39H9SPSH3 pains • d imp WH driven from me.

The lee bed was ate a whirlpool wuu tne leap and flash and play of the froth upon It. Tho black air of the night was whitened ty the storms of foam flakes which flew over tb« vessel. The roaring of the broken waters in¬ creased the horrors of the scene. I firmly believed my time was come. God had been merciful, lwt I was to die now. As to mak¬ ing any shift to keep myself olive after the ship should tie broken up, tho thought never entered my head. What could I dot There was uo boat. I might havo contrived some arrangement of I looms and casks to serve as a raft, but to what purpose? How long would it take the wind and sea to freeze me? I crouched in the companion way, hearken¬ ing to the uproar around, feeling the convul¬ sions of tho schooner, fully prepared for death, dogged and hopeless. On a sudden—in a breath—I felt the vessel rise. She was swung up with the giddy velocity of a hunter clearing a tall gate; sho sank ugain, and there was a mighty concus¬ sion forward, then a pause of steadiness while you might have counted five, then a wild up¬ ward heave, a sort of sharp floating fall, a harsh grating along her keel and sides, as thou ji she was being smartly warped over rocks, followed by an unmistakable free pitching and rolling motion. I iiatl sprung to my feet aud stood waiting; but the instant 1 gathered by the movements of her that she was released I sprang like a madman np tho companion steps. The sea, breaking on her bow. t!e>y in heavy showers along the deck and half blinded me. But I was semi-delirious, aud having sat so long with death's hand in mine, was in a passion¬ ately defiant mood, with a perfect rage of scorn of peril in me, and I walked right onto the forecastle, giving tho flying sheets of water there no heed. In a minute a block of sea tumbled upon mo and left me breath less; tho iciness of it cooled my mind's boat, but not my resolution. I was determined to judge as best I could by the light of the foam of what had happened, and holding on tena¬ ciously to whatever fame to my hand, and progressing step by step, I got to the fore¬ castle and looked ahead. Where tlio ice was the water tumbled in milk; ’twas four or fiveship'slengths distant, peered anti 1 could distinguish no more than that. I over the lee how, but could see no ice. Tlio vessel bad gone clear; how, I know not, and can never know: but my own fancy is that .she split the bed with her own weight when the, sea rose and threw tho ico up, for sho had flouted on a sudden, and tho noises which attended her release indicated that she had been forced through a channel. I returned aft, barely escaping a second deluge, and looked over the quarter; no ice was there viable to mo. The vessel rolled horribly,'rind I perceived that she had a de¬ cided list to starboard, the result of the shift¬ ing of what was in her when the ice camo away from the main with her: and it was this heel that brought the sea washing over the bow. I took hold of tbfe tiller to try it, but either the helm was frozen immovable, or the rudder jammed in it# gudgeons, or iu some other fashion fixed. / Had sho been damaged below? was sho taking in water? I knew her to be so thickly sheathed with ice that, unless it had been scaled off in places by the breaking of her bed, I had little fear (until this covering melted or dropped off by the working of the frame) of tho hull not proving tight. I should 'nave been coated with ice myself hail I stayed but it little longer in my wet clothes in that piercing wind; so I ran below, and bringing an armful of clothes from my cabin to the cook room, was very soon in dry at¬ tire, and making an extraordinary figure, I don't question, in the buttons, lace, and frip¬ peries of the old fashioned garments. Meanwhile, I was crazy to ascertain if thft schooner was taking in water. If there was a sounding roil in the ship I did not know where to lay my hands upon it. But he is a poor sailor who is slow at substitutes. There were several spears in the arms room (pirati¬ cal plunder, no doubt) with mere spikes for heads, like those weapons used by the Gaffers and other tribes in that country; they were formed of a hard heavy wood. I took a length of ratline line and secured it to one of these spears, and carried it on deck with the powder room bull’s eye lamp; but when 1 probed the sounding pipe I found it full of ice, and ns it was impossible to draw the pumps I flung my ingenious sounding rod down in a passion of grief and mortification. Yet was I not to be beaten. Such was my temper, had the devil himself confronted me I should have defied him to do his woret, for I had made up my mind to weather him out. I entered tho forecastle, lantern in hand, pried open tho hatch, and dropped into the hold. It needed an experienced ear to detect the sobbing of internal waters amid the yearning gushes, tho long gurgling washings, the thunderous blows, and shrewd rain like hissings of the seas outside. I listened with strained hearing for some minutes, but dis¬ tinguished no sounds to alarm me with as¬ surance of water in the hold. I could not mistake. I hearkened with all my might, but the noise was outside. I thanked God very heartily, and got out of the bold and put tho hatch on. There was no need to go aft and listen. Tho schooner was by the head, and there could be no water in the run that would not be forward too. Being reassured in respect of the stanch¬ ness of tho hull, I returned to the fire and proceeded to equip myself for a prolonged watch on deck. While I was drawing on a great pair of boots I heard a knocking in tho after part of the vessel. I supposed she had drifted into a little field of broken ice, and that she would go clear presently, and I fin¬ ished arming myself for the weather; but the knocking continuing I went into the cabin, where I heard it very plain, and walked as far as the lazaretto hatch, where I stood lis¬ tening. The noises were a kind of irregular thumping, accompanied by a peculiar grind¬ ing sound. In a monieat I guessed the truth, rushed on deck, and by the dim light in tho air saw the long tiller moving to and fro! The beat of the beam seas had unlocked the frozen bonds of the rudder, and there swung tho tiller, as though like a dog the ship was wagging her tail for joy! The vessel lay along, rolling so as to bring her starboard rail to a level with the sea; her main deck was full of water, and the froth of it, combined with the ice that glazed her, made her look like a fabric of marble as she swung on the black fold ere it broke into snow about her. I seized the tiller and ran it over hard a starboard, and I had not held it in that posture half a minute when, to my inexpressible delight, I observed that she was paying off. Her head fell slowly from the sea; she lurched drunkenly, and some tons of black water rolled over tho bulwarks; she reeled eonsumedly to larboard, and rose squarelv and fionderousiy to the height of the surge that was now abaft the beam. In a few moments she was dead before it, the helm amidships, tho wind blowing sheer over the stern with half its weight seemingly gone, brough the vessel running, the tall seas chasing her high stern and floating it up¬ ward, till looking forward was like gazipg down the slope of a hill. My heart was never fuller than then. I was half crazy with the passion of joy that possessed me. However, I was still in a situation that made prodigious demands upon my coolness and wits. The wind blew southwest, the schooner was running northeast: the bulk of the icebergs lay on the larboard bow, bnt there were others right ahead, and to star- hoard, where also lay the extremity of the island, though I did not fear that if I could THE CELEBRATED NERVE TONIC.

This I could have gone widely i 1 ,.r of by a little shift of the helm; but whit I was In the act of starboarding three or lour bergs suddenly showed on the larboard bow, and 1 saw that unless I had a mind to bring the ship into the trough again I must keep straight on. So I steered to bring the berg that was right ahead a little on the how, with a prayr in my soul that there might be no low lying block in the road for the schooner to split upon. It wont by within a pistol shot. I was very much accustomed to tho sight of ice by this time, yet I found myself glancing at this mass with pretty near as much won¬ der and awe as if I had never seen such a thing before. It was not above thirty feet high, but its shape was exactly that of a horse's head—tho lips sipping the sea, the care cocked, the neck arching to the water. You would have said it was some vast courser rising out of the deep. The peculiar radiance of iee trembled off it like a luminous mist into the dusk. Tho water boiled about its nose, and suggested a frothing caused by the monster steed’s expelled breath. Let a fire have been kindled to glow red where you looked for the eye, and the illusion would have been frightfully grand. Half this ice came from the island; the rest of it was formed of bergs too tall to have ever be¬ longed to the north end of that great stretch. It took three hours to pass clear of them, and then I had to go on clinging to the tiller and steering in a most melancholy, famished con¬ dition for another long half hour before I could satisfy myself that tho sea was free. But now I was nearly dead with the cold. I had stood for five hours at tho helm, during all which time my mind had been wound up to the fiercest tension of anxiety, and my eyes felt as if they were strained out of their sockets by their searching of tlio gloom ahead; and nature, having done her best, gave out suddenly, and not to havo saved my life could I have stood at the tiller for another ten minutes. The goal- along tho rail was so iron hard that I could not seepre the helm with it, so 1 softened some lashings 1iy holding them be¬ fore the fire; and finding the schooner on my return to be coming round to starboard, I helped her by putting the tiiler hard a-port and seem ing it.
