I waited another week, and then | rossed over to Hamburg; but I coald leara no- thing there. Next I went to London, aud there I learned enough to assure me thatthe ship had been. lost. On the second day after she left Dover a severe storm had arisen, and several vessels had been reported lost.

He watched until he had seen it several times, and then he remarked to his mate that it must be a lighthouse. The light was bold and distinct, aud evidently at a considerable height above the level of the sea; for, liad it not been so,itcould not have been seen at that distance. after a short consul- tation, during which reference was had to the chart of the Northumberland coast, it was decided that this light must be upon Dorton Point.

At nine o’clock Captsin 1 cwenthelow. He took down a chart of the North Sea,and having spread it upon the table, he sat down to examine it. He was thus engaged when Mr. Griffin came down; but he did not look up until he had Snished the calculation. f “How ii the mate asked, as he saw his com- mander lay down the dividers. “T have been making 4 reckoning, and I find that ‘we have but little wore sea room left. The course we have made since we wore, has been, as near as Ican calculate, nor th-west-by-west, so that we must ‘have been driving towards the coast of Northum- perland.

The Captain started up from his chair,and would probably bave walked across the cabin, but at that momenta heavy sea caught the ship, and gave her ® pitch forward, which caused him to catch his seat asquickly as possible. As s00n as the flood had gone from the deck, and the vessel had struggled up from the shock, he looked into his companion’s face and said, in a voice made tremulons by deeper emotion than he had before manifested:— “Griffin, [have something upon my mind more than you know; and I am anxious to communicate it, too.

They were on their way to Copenhagen, as we should be now. My father commanded the ship—she was called the Clara Jane. She was named for my mother; and Bhe was a staunch, noble craft. Iwas at school then, in Troy; and when I knew that my parents were dead I was well nigh mad with grief. I fan- cied then, in my first hours of orphanage, that my heart would break; and, I think such would have been the case if they had kept me at school. But some of those who cared for me came to see me, and it was finally arranged that I should go to Bea. And I prospered—prospered so well that, when I was twenty years old they gave me com- wand of a ship, “The man who owned the ship which I first commanded was named Thornton. He had a Gavghter named Carrie—one of the sweetest, purest and loveliest creatures that ever graced this poor life of earth.

The ship had met her doom. She went uvon the rocks witha Hed that sounded high above the roar of the ele- ments. N Maurice Lester was near the starboard gangway when the ship struck, having started aft to look to the helm. The shock threw him upon his back, and he tried to get up; but ere he conld regain his feet the flood of mad waters came surging over the bark, and he was thrown--he knew not where. He only knew that the flood came—that it caught him in its giants grasp—that it hurled him os the gale hurlse feather—-that bis head was hurt—-that his body was tossed and bruised—and then the lamp of his consciousness went out. When he came to him- self it was daylight, and the rays of the-sun were beaming above him. At first he did not attempt to move, any further than simply to assure himself that he was really alive and seasible; but sought to recall the events of the past, which he did, very clearly, up to the time when his ship struck upon the rocks—he could go no farther. After this he raised himself upon his elbow, and tried to gaze about him. He found himself upon a bed of sand, between two immeuse rocks. He had been landed there in that deep nook, and tie tide had gone out and lefthim. Io 4 little while he rose to his feet, and managed to crawl up, by the aid of a stranded spar, over a low part of one or tlie rocka. After seeing ali that was to be observed from this point, he moved on towards where he thought le should soonest find an open beach, for he felt faint and sick, and he wished to find help as soon as pomaisie. After toiling over slippery, slimy rocks, and cruel, tearing crags, noti fis clothing was all torn, and his flesh bruised and lacerated, he finally reached an open space among the rocks, where many pieces of the wreck had been lodged, and where he found the bodies of three of his men. He hastened to the spot where they tay—~two of them beirg clasped in each other's arms—-but he found no s of life. With ao sad, heavy heart, Lester passed on, and presently he found two more dead ones, and one of them was David Griffiu, his chief mate. He kneeled down by the officer's side and raised his head; but it was cold and lifeless and the ekull was broken! Gently he |; ck upon the sand, and then moved on again.

Whatif it sheutd fill the cavern? sb! now he could account for the presence there of those human bones! They were the cad memorials of other hapless prisoners who had been left in that cave to perish by nega Y Slowly but surely the waters crept along. The vermin fled before them to the elevated spot on which Maurice stood. Slowiy following, the incom- ing water at length reached his feet. At the end of the cave, within a few feet of the wall, and undernesth the apertare before spoken of, was a large piece of rock some four fest high, that might have tatten trom above. ‘To this Mau- rice hastened as quickly as his manacles wenld per- it, After some exertion he succeeded in climb- ing to the top of it. and steod erect, his head within a few inches of the roof ofthe cavern. But hs was not allowed to occupy this retreat alone. As the water began to circle round its base, the vats also sought refuge on itin great numbers, and in vain did Maurice try to dislodge them with his mana- cled feet. Soon, as it seemed to the captive, the water came rippling over the top of the rock. He felt its moisture upon his feet. And still it rose—slow- ly, but relentlessly, it rose es ~higher; and as it rose, the rats climbed wy limbs for safety. It was in vain that he brushed them off with his fet- tered bunds. They instantiy returned. They clambered up his bock—to his shouidera—over the back of his neck---to the crown of his head; their clammy bodies striking a chill to his very heart. And still higher the waters rose, and more thick- ly the foul vermin ciustered upon the devoted cap- jve's shoulders and head, as their only places of safety. Driven frantic at fast by the horrors of his situa ion, he was about to plunge into the surging tide and seek a watery grave, when his attention wasarrested by the tread of rapid footeteps near the apertare above hie head, and the sound of a harsh masculine voice, almost instantly followed by anoise as of a struggie, aud a piercing shrie! which thrilled Maurice Lester to the very soul. He could not be mistaken—it was Carrie's voice. ae he heard it, but now in tones of entreaty. Ob, it was her voice. She was ‘not dead! She lived, and was near him! Gathering all his strength he shouted, “Carrie! Carrie! Carrie!” A dead silence followed, broken only by the fearful murmurs of the still rising waters, and the splash of the rats as'they fell from the wretched captive’s head ard shoniders, only to retura iu, in their flerce struggles for a perch of safety from the advancing tide, which had now nearly reached our hero’s shoulders. ‘The above ia all of this story that will be publish: ed in our columns.
