CHAPTER VIII. HE hatch formed the en- trance to the cabin, and there was no other road to it that I could eee. If I wanted to use it I must first scrape away the snow; but unhappily I had left my knife in the boat and was without any instrument that would serve me, I thought of break- ing the beer bottle in my pocket and going to work with a piece of glass; but before doing this it occurred to me to search thé body om the star- board side, lL approached the man ae tf he were alive and murderously fierce, and I own I did not like to touch bim. He resembled the figure of @ giant moulded in snow. In life he must have been six feet und @ half tall, The snow was now on his beard and mustaches and on his hair, But these features were merged and compacted into the snow on his ‘oat, and his cap camo low and was covered with snow too, #o with the little fragment of countenance that remained, the flesh whereof had the color and tougbnesa of the skin of @ drum that had been well beaten, he was as terrible an ob- ject as mortal sight ever rested on, I put my hand upon the body and discovered it, a8 1 might have fore- seen, frozen to the hardness of steel. His ‘coat—if 1 may oall that @ coat which resembled # robe of senow—fell to within @ few inches of the deck. Steadying the body with one hand, 1 tweaked the coat with the other, hop- ing to bres; the ice upon tt. In doing fo I slippe4 and fell, and in falling gave a convulsive kick which, seriking the feet of the figure, dislodged them from thelr frozen hold, and down tt fell with a mighty bang alongside of me. not hurt, and sprang up with acrity of fright, Looking at the body, L saw that it had managed by its fall much better than my hands could have compassed; for the snow shroud was eracked and crumbled, slabs of it had broken away, leaving cloth of the coat visible, and what best pleased mo wi et of t! 4 of a hanger poking out from t skirt of the coat, Yet to come at It #0 ag to draw the blade from the soabbard required an intolerable exertion of strength.

At last I managed to pull the coat clear of the hilt of the hanger; tha biade was stuck, but after I had tugged a@ bit it slipped out, and I found it @ good plece of steel. The corpse was habited In Jack- boota, a coat of coarse, thick cloth, Mned with flannel. Under this was a kind of blouse or doublet of red cloth, confined by @ belt with leathern loops for pistols. His apparel gave me no clue to the age he belonged to, He looked a burly, immense creature as he lay upon the deck tn the same bent attitude in which he had stood at the rail, and so dreadful was his face that, having taken one peep, I had no mind to repeat it, though [ was above ten minutes wrestling, with his cloak and hanger before I had the weapon fair in my hand. I walked to the companton and fell to scraping the snow away from It, and presently, with the point of the hanger, felt the crevice ‘twixt the door and its Jamb, after which It waa not long before I had carved the door out of its plate of tce and snow. A flight of steps sank into the dark- ness of the interior, and a cold, strange smell floated up, with something of dry earthiness of flavor and a min- giing of leather and timber, I fell back pace to let much of this smell exhale as would before I ven- tured into an atmosphere that had been hermetically bottled by the ice since the hour when this little door was last closed, I put my foot on the ladder and descended very slowly, ped, my inclination being strong the other way. On reaching the bottom I remained standing close « the ladder, striving to #eo what manner of place I was arriy: The glare of the whiteness of th decks and rocks hung upon my eyes like @ kind of blindness charged with fires of several colors, and I could not obtain the faintest glimpse of any part of this {nterlor outalde the sphere of the little square pt hazy ght the deck at the foot Pho darkness, indeed, which lay up of the steps. was 80 deep that no more than @ narr of bulkheads and that beyond, and led to by @ door in the bulkhead, To test this consecture I extended my arms and stepped & pace forward, feeling to right and left, till, having gone five or six paces from the lad my fingers touched something c and, feeling St, I passe down what I Instantly knew, by the projection of the nose and the rough ness of hatr on the upper Mp, to be a human face!

If the top were removed I doubted not I should be able to get a view of the cabin, enough to show me where the win- dows or portholes were, So I went to work with the hanger again, insenst bly obtaining a little stock of courage from the mere brandishing of tt, In half an hour I had chipped and cut away the tce around the companton, and then found it to be one of those old-fashioned, clumsy hatch-covers formerly used in certain kinds of Dutch ships—namely, a box with shoulder-shaped lid. This lid, though heavy and fitting with @ tongue, I managed to unship, on whioh the full fquare of the hatch lay open to the The Nght gave moe heart, Onoe more I descended. The cabin wae a small room. The forward part lay in shadow, but I could distinguish the outline of the mainmast amidships af the bulkhead there, In the centre of this cabin was a small, square table, supported by tron pins that plerced through stanchions in such & manner that the table could at will be rats to the ceiling and there left for the convenience of space, At this table, seated upon @hort, quaintly wrought benches, and Imme- diately facing each other, were two men. They were incomparably more lifelike than the frozen figures, The whose back was upon the hateh- way ladder, being the man whose face I had stroked, sat upright in the ture of a man about to start up, hands upon the rim of the table, » raised as if, In n terror and agony of death, he arted a look to God. second figure lay over the table 1 his face buried in his arms, He » no covering upon his head, which was bald, yet his hair upon | and lay upon a flufing up face wave him « appearance, The other had on a round fur cap, with lappets for the eara, His body was multied In a thick, avh-colored coat.

Egypt, to this country, known as Cleopatra’ Pharaoh's Needie.” “But,” said Dicky, “how could it bi made like that?’ "It was just carved out of the one stone brought from @ quarry in expired in the very agony of his af- frighted recoil. The interior was extremely plain; the bulkheads of mahogany color, the decks bare, and nothing in the form of an ornament saving a silver crucifix hanging by @ nail to the trunk of the mainmast, and @ cage with a frozen bird of gorgeous plumage au ended to the bulkhead near the atch. A small lantern of an old pat tern dangled over the table, and I noticed that It contained two or three inches of candle, Abaft the hatohway was a@ door on the starboard side, which T opened, and found a narrow, dark passage. I could not perce tt with my eyes beyond a fow feet; but, percetving within this range the out- line of a Iittle door, I concluded tha here were the berths in which th master and his mates slept. Thera was nothing to be done tn the dark, and I bitterly lamented that I had Jett, my tinder-box and filnt in the boat, for then I could have l@hted the can- dle in the lantern, “Perhaps,” thought T, “one of those figures may have a tinder-box upon him.” Custom was now agmewhat harden- ing me; moreover, I was spurred on by a mortal anxiety to discover if there wan any kind of food to be met with In the vessel, So I stepped un to the figure whove face I had touche and felt in his pockets; but neither on him nor on the other did I find what I wanted, though I was not little astoni#hed to discover in tha pock@ts of the occupants of so emall and humble a ship as this schooner a fine gold watch, as rich ag the one | had brought away from the man on the rocks and more elegant In shape; a gold snuffbox set with diamonds, several rings of beauty and value ly- ing loose in the breeches pocket of the man whose face was hidden, o handful of Bpaniyh pleces in gold, handkerchtefs of fine silk, and other articles, as inde these fellows had been overhauling @ parcel of booty and then carelessly returned the contents to thelr pockets.

Not to tease you with too many par- ticulars under this head, let me brief. ly say that In this larder or steward's room I found, among other things, neveral cheeses, a quantity of candles, @ great earthenware pot full of peas, several pounds of tobacco, about thirty lemons, along with two small casks and three or four jars, mant- fextly of epirite, but of what kind I could not tell took a stont, sharp knife from one of the shelves and, ulling down a ham, tried to cut it: it I might as well have atriven to slice a piece of marble, I attempted next to cut a cheese, but this was frozen an hard as the ham.
