Bertha Gran tun, a lovely, dark-
eved girl of seven*Qen, the daughter
of a Bait Francisco merchant, had,
at the request of her father, endeav
ored to encourage the attentions of
-William Belleville, one of the.pro
prietors of a gold’ mine.
lie Was an excellent voting man.:
but his guji did. not prosper; when
lie spoke or'love, Bertha was cold
and. lesoi vtd.
The Plover, an American govern
ment vessel, had recently arrived in
rhv harbor, and the Captain, George
Wilton, a manly, hanisbme. fellow
of t weiUy-two, who was the sou of
an (.Id friend of Mr. Until ton. had
catii d on father and daughter, and re
newed with the latter an acquain
tance begun when he was a boy-mid-
shipnian and silo a girl of twelve.
Alioougli she hail then seen him
only a few times, and, after they
separated, they had not since met
(until now, yet they had often
thought of each other with pleas
ure. m
Mr. Gran ton had lately concluded
to retire front business, and return
to his native city. New York Oil
learning this, Captain Wilton pro
posed that the old met chant and his
daughter should take passage aboard
his craft, Which was a good vessel,
and w-lijclt would sail much sooner
than any steamer then in port.
Gran ton accepted tlie offer, and
with Bertha, accompanied by Belle
ville,, who was going to Now York
on business, he sailel away aboard
Wilton’s bark.
Days wetit 'hv, and (lie captain was
often bv the girl’s side.
That lie loved iter she could not
doubt; lie showed this in many wavs,
and she knew’ well that her o\vii
lieart responded.
Belleville, guessing the truth,
hinted Ins fears to Mr, Granton. who
then repeated to Bertha his wish
that she should encourage the young
citizen.
He did hot fail'to mention a prom
iso she had given her mother, just
before the latter died a few years
previously, that sho would be entire
ly guided by her father's advice in
her choice of a husband.
Bertha well remembered .'hut
promise, aid feeling that sho must
keep her word at any sacrifice, she
became cold reserved til her manner
inwards Wilton, .avoiding him as
much as possible.: and endeavoring
to school herself to treat Belleville
her wealthy suitor, belter than she
hud hitherto done.
The captain noted (lie die nge with
regret, but when Mr. Granton one
day informed him ihat Mr. Belleville
was Ijisdaoglilet’s intended husband,
lie reso'ved to seek t ho pleasant. so-'
cjiu.y-.qf the beautiful girl no more.
Bui much of his gayetv now left
him. uiid beeaiiic a sad tied thought
ful man. • i
.Meiiifvv lnlo the vessel continued
on her coarse, with fair'winds, un
til she was within about thirty miles
iff tlitk Galapagos Islands, when a
heavy gale pounced upon Her, caus
ing Wilton to take iu everything ex
cept a close-reefed main-topsail and
a fore topmast stay-sail.
Tim gale, which bad commenced
at dawn, kept increasing in violence.
The wind rushed with a ghostly
si-ream through the rigging; tre
spray was whirled to the topsail
yard and the seas swept qver tlie
plunging, rolling craft.
• All hands were; piped on deck to
strike .top-gallant imists, to batten
down .the hatches and make every
thing snug. yj\ K "
Wilton and the sailing-muster
wcredji earnest conversation, when
;i huge wall of water came crushing
like a thunderbolt over tlie weather
rail. .' All the men clung to ropes
and the rigging to save themselves
from being washed a way. When the
vessel righted, they noticed that two
<»f (be boats had been sloven on the
•lavits, and that the launch or life-
bout on the starboard quarter ulono
remained uinjured. Tlum, the
driving rack to leeward having clear
ed a little, the shriek of the lookout
man was heard:
“Broukers off tlie lee bow:”
“Ay, ay; I thought so,” said tho
sailing-master. “The gale took us
at a bad time.”
Wilton, the moment hesawtlie
breakers, knew that no dart lily power
c<)old save the craft. To beat against
that gale, or to keep close-hanled,
was si m ply impossi hie.
He snatched his trumpet and gave
orders to out. -away iho.thred. musts.
His voice ; .and. manner were cool
find composd, and the pipe of t1id
boatswains whistle rang out as shril
ly and with i&s much regularity as if
no danger impended.
'Hie trained naval men promptly
obeyed.
JMieir well-sharpened axes gleamed
through the white, flying spray, and
then, with a crash, otic mast after
the other fell over into the sea.
The wreck was p eared, and the
hull went rolling and plunging on.
tV.illlljpE -It.. . 1 M . -
Hid and Mr. Granton came
on deck, much' alarm'd’, while
tiio Sailors were getting the life-boat
ready lor lowering.
“There is, then, no hope of out
escaping tlie"recks?’’ cried tlie‘old
merchant, us ho looked at the break-
ers, now.not two miles off the lee
bow.
“There i6 not,” answered the cup
tain. .
“And I fear,” said Belleville,
“that we will all be lost.”
“No,” said ■Wilton. “I hope to
be able to save von all.”
Bertha now appeared. She utter
ed a cry of dismay, and unconscious
ly drew. close to tl^e young cap
tain.
“Don’t be afraid, Miss Gluti'ton;”
lie said. “Yon shall be saved.”
The dismasted hull finally struck
*he breakers, bow oil.
Both Wilton and Belleville held
Bertha firmPy, to prevent her being
th row it over by the shock. The
force of this was somewhat deadened
by the anchor, which Imd been let
go.- The cracking of the timbers
and a split in tlie deck plunks, as
the fated cruft thumped against the
rocks, wliiif. cataracts of water rolled
over her, betokened that she would
not long hold together.
“Down with the boat—-carefully
there!” cried the captain.
Tlie boat wag lowered. Mr. Gran
ton mid .his daughter were first help
ed in'; then Wilton motioned to
Belleville to also enter it.
“Nevermind. I will wait until
it comes back Cur number load,”
said the young .man. *,
“It may not come back!” respond
ed Wilton. “Although • I have giv
en orders to that effect, the crew
may not succeed iti returning to the
wreck.”
“I will take my chance,” said
Belleville, noticing the wistful looks
of many of the sailors crowding in
the gangivii\, in tlie hop# of being
toni to get into tlie launch
Finding he could not persuade
Belleville, Wilton knowing there
was no time to lose ordered twenty
men out of his cre^y of forty-four in

By keeping her head to the sea, the
coxswain prevented her from swam))

The launch, as soon as Bertha and

Wilton ordered eleven
crew to outer it.
“There is room tlioro for you, sir,”
he said to Belleville.
•*I can wait for tho next trip,” re
plied Belleville. “Let. that poor
boy take my place,” lie uddod allud
ing to a sailor lad of fifteen, who ;
seemed much more alarmed than
any of his companions in tlie gang
way.
“Be it so,”said Wilton, who could
not help respecti ng his u used fish ri
val.
The boy was permitted to entor
tho boat, and ibis was again headed
shoreward.
Remaining now aboard the Plover
were fifteen persons, including Wil
ton and Belleville.
The bull showed signs of going to
pieces at any moment, and the cup-
tain doubted if it would hold long

lump iii, ladsl” shouted Wilton
to the eager fellows in tho gang
way.
They gladly obeyed, and the young
captain then turned to Ilia 1 rival.
“ There is rooin for one mo»*e,” ho
said. “Jump iu,«Bir, and lose no
time!”
“You wilt come, too?” said Bello-
villo.
“No; another man would swamp
the boat. She can hold but twenty-
two, I. will stay hero.”
“But tho hull will break to pieces,
sir, before tho boat can come
again.”
“I know It ; but I niual take my
chance. ■ Yon cannot cJiango my
purpo.-.o. My place is o here. Go,
sir! Go!”
Belleville got into the boat, and
Wilton throw off the wurp with his
own bands. - -
He had saved the life of his.iiivul,
who would return LrBortliu, where
as, had ko so chosen., ho might have
left him on tho wreck to perish.
B|tl for a moment had tho thought
of thus deserting tho man who stood
between him und tho girl he loved
entered Ihe-your.g cuptuiii’s mind.
He deemed t. bin place to cling to
cling to Ills vessel to the last—until
all the otliers were saved—cro mak-
ng any effort in his own be
half.
Now he smiled as lie saw >ho boat
heading safely for the slibre.
Mean while (ho roaring seas fust

she ail at once broke in twain amid
ships. and Wilton was ;swept into
tho wild ocean. Had Belleville been
in Ins place ho would have boon
drowned in a lew minutes, as'he
did nor know how to swim.
Wilton, however, kept himself up
for some lime, until lie was hurled
violently against a rock, near the
shore; below l lie spot where tho
people froiirtho wreck were gutherod.
The ybttng man's head struck the
rock with ,a ^’orco that .nearly de
prived him of his senses. Weak and
bewildered as he was, he would nev
er have reached tlie shore had. ho
not been finally saved by tho crew
of the launch, who, having landed
their hut loud, had caught sight of
their struggling captain und pulled
out to his rescue. He was picked
up, and when he staggered ashore,
pale and faint from his injuries und
exertions, Bertha involuntarily start
ed forward towards him, joyfully
crying:
“Ho is saved! Thank God he
saved 1”.
Then, controlling tho impttlso
which Imd prompted her to throw
herself on Wilton’s breast, shu slot
pod suddenly, and clung to-hcr futli
ers arm, while tears came to hor
eyes.
A passing vessel was signaled on
the next day, and tho castaways
wore taken aboard.
Belleville • privately spoke to Mr.
Granton: • • •
*1 am sure, now,” lie said, “that
Bertha loves thui -uoble fellow, Wil
ton, who has saved our lives. Of
course, l do not wish to marry a la
dy whose affcotions i cannot, obtain
with hor hand. 1 will add that 1
would feel less regret in surrender
ing hor to tho gallant captain than
to any other man.”
A few questions .put, to his daugh
ter convinced the old merchant that
sho was fond of Wilton, and a little
reflection deoided him to permit her
to have tho person of her choice.
Never was there a happier coup’c
than Bertha and her .lover,, who wore
rnarriod soon after the vessel reached
Now York.
The young captain and Belleville
beeanio friends, and were much to
gether until the latter went back’ to
San Francisco.—Rufus Iiale, in Now
