It is ® great source of gratification to know that I have vigilant oficers who will faithfully attend to their duty when I am absent from the deck. If anything cut of the usual way occurs, give me a call, Mr Watkins.”’ off- “‘ Aye, aye, sir,” replied that cer, as Capt Swipes vanished from the deck. Mr. Watkins leaned against the quarter rail for a few minutes, and then with slow and re- luctant strides paced the deck At he called out in a loud and authorative v. ae usual, ‘* Keep a sharp look-out ahead !”" “Aye, aye, sir,” was the reply from the forecastle. ina few minutes, seated on the hen-coop, with his head reclined against the com panion- way, this ergz/ant officer was fast asleep, and it is hardly to be wondered at if the men be- longing to his watch, one and all, followed the example of their officer. Before the captain went below I had been standing in tho waist, leaning over the gun- wale, listening to the conversation between the captain and the mate. Bat now I went forward on the forecastle, exchanged a few words with some of my shi mates, who seented unusually ill-humored and sleepy, and grad- ually sank on deck, where I soon lost all knowledge of what was passing around me, and entered upon the enjoyment of a pleasant and curious dream oe weg! set of fellows you were indeed !’’ exclaimed Bill Backetay. “You ought all of you to have been hauled chock out to the fore- topmast studding sail boom end, and then let go by the run in alump ” “Never mind that, Bill,”’ said Jack Grims- by, ‘‘let Fleming heave abead and tell us about that dream ”” - Why you see, continued the veteran sea- man, ‘I dreamed that while all hands of us were standing on deck at our stations, ready for going about, a shoal of monstrous porpoises and black fish came up in our wake, and ranged alongside, and each one had a saddle on his back, and a bridle in his mouth, as if inviting all hands to take a bit of a ride. * Keep all fast,” says the captain, ‘and we'll have some sport Itis not every day that we meet with a chance like this—so bere goes?” Without more ado, the skipper sprang on the back of a huge fish that came up on the quar- ter to blow. “Here goes'’’ said I, and without a mo- ment’s reflection I followed his &xample “ Here goes!"’ said the chief mate; “ Here goes!" said the second mate; « > Said the men; “ Here goes!’” said the cook— andin less than five minutes we were each comfortably seated astride of a mammoth por- poise, and were carried off at the rate of fif- teen or twenty milesan hour! I found my- self mounted on the back of areal racer—he was fall blooded, and game to the backbon: and soon took the lead in the race, which g me so much delight thatI waved my capcin the air, and shouted “Hurrah!” I then looked back, and was much amused to see the whole ship’s company with whip and epur, urging forward their chargers, which floun- dered about at a woful rate, and sometimes disappeared altogether beneath the surface, giving their riders some fearful duckings, which diverted me exceedingly, and caused me to laugh heartily. But my animal was the best trained and the flectest. He kept his head and back above water, and went forward swimmingly. gaining upon the rest of the troop every moment. This raised the dander cf the skipper, who always loved to be cock of the walk, and he hailed me to heave to; but I would not hear him He shouted again, ‘Heave to, you scoundrel! Hard up your helm!’ Then the mates and all the crew joined fp the chorus, and bawled out in a voice that would have done honor to the first luff of a seventy four, when hailing the maiutopmast crosstrees in a gale of wind. “Ho ~ship aho-o-y! Hard-a port your helm, or we shall run you down! Ho—ship aho-o y! Hard up! Ha-a-rd up!” Indeed, they made such a terrible clatter, and frightened me so with their screams and howlings, that l awoke in a state of great alarm, @ sprang to my feet—but was rejoiced to find it was only a dream! The voices, however, stedd rung tn my ears! They came from the water, and were plainly intended as a warning against some imminent danger. I instinctively caught ap the words and shouted “ Hard up!” with all the strength of my lungs. My watchmates, who by this time were also aroused, all repeated the cry of Hard up!” “Hard up!'”’ replied the man atthe wheel “Hard up!!’’ screamed the second mate, with terrible energy, ashe started from his comfortable position on the hen-ccep But the warning voice came too late. A black and gigantic object appeared looming up, nearly upon our weather beam We all knew that it was a ship of large size, steering directly for us. We sawin a moment thatthe shock could not be avoided, and felt as if nothing but the direct interposition of Provi dence could save us. In that dreadful mo ment we called upon God for assistance—men prayed who never prayed before—and screams tor merey siosadnd to the throne of the Ai mighty. Our suspense, however, was not uf long duration The ship to windward was = West Lodia trader, of eight or nine hundred tung, bound from London for Jamaica, and running before the wind at the rate of nine or ten kuots an hour The men on board were probably all asleep, too They did not see us until they were close aboard, aud the shifting of the helms at that late moment was of no use. Before cither vessel could answer the helm the big sbip came thundering upon us, her jib-boou passing just above our fore rigging and her cutwater struck us with tremendous force, right amidships, cutting us nearly in two She then swung round alongside, with het head in an opposite direction to ours, and the next moment, before many of our crew could recover from the consternation caused by the shock, the vessels were separated from each other, and the Aminadab filled and went do} <a Were her crew saved’"’ eagerly inquired id Hustoon. ee fellows'’’ continued old Fleming, “not a man of them except myself.
