U. in the posses sion of a certain piece of land, (here do- - r it as in the oath The dark, stormy close of NovemhVr, 1854, found many vessels on Lake Erie, but the fortunes of one alone have epeelirf interest tor us. About that time the schr. Conductor, owned by John the Provincial Pailiaiuent, a resident of Amherstburg, at the mouth of the Detroit river, entered the lake from that river. hound for Port Dalhousie, at the mouth of the Welland Canal. She was heavily loaded with grain. Her crew consisted of t I Captain Hackctt a Highlander by birth, miu a skiiiioi anu rxperiencen navigator and six sailors. At nightfall, shortly after leaving the head of ihe lake, one of those terrific storm with which the late autumnal navigators of that "Sea of the Woods" aie all too familiar overtook thetn. The weather was intensely cold for the season ; the air was filled with snow and leet ; the chilled water made ice rapidly, encumbering the schooner, and loading down heidecks and rigginr. As the gale increased, the lops of the waves were shorn off by the fierce blasts, clouding the whole atmosphere with frozen spray, o what tne sailors call "spoon-drift, ren dering it impossible to see any object a lew rods distant. Driving helplessly be fore the wind, yet in the direction of its piacu ot destination, the schooner sped through the darkness. At last, near mid night, running closer than ber crew sup posed to the Canadian shore, she struck on the outer bar off Long Point Island : beat heavily across it, and sunk in th eper water between it and the inner bar. The hull was entirely submerged,,! the waves lolling in heavily, and dashing over the rigging, to which the crew bo took themselves. Lashed there, numbed with cold, drenched by the pifiloss waves, and scourged 'uy the showers of sleet driv en before the w ind, ihev waited for morn ing. 'The slow, dreadful hours wore away, and at length the dubious aud douhtfiil gray of a morning of tempest succeeded to the utter darkues of night. Abigail Becker chanced at that time to e in her hut with none but her young h ild i en Her husband 'was absent on the Canada shore, and she was left the ole adult occupant of the island, save hc light-keeper at thu other end, some fifteen miles off. Looking out at daylight on the beaeh in front of her door, she saw tin- shattered hoat ot tho L'onductor, cast up by the waves. Her experience Of storm and disaster on that dangerou coast need ed nothing nYoie to convince her that somewhere .in her neighborhood human life had been, or still was, in peril. She followed the south westei ly trend of the island lor a little distance, atd, peering through the gloom of the stormy morning, discerned the spars of the sunken schooner with w hat seemed to be hum in forms clinging to the rigging Tlieheart of the strong woman sunk within her as she gazed upon thoschelpless fcllow-cioaturcs, so near, yet so- unappr-mcbabie had no boat and none could have lived on tb it wild water. After a moment's re flection, she went back to her dwelling, put the smaller children in chaige of lh eldest, tiMik with, her an iren kettle, tin tc-pnt, and matches, and returned to the beach, at the nearest point to the vessel; and, gathering up the logs and driftwood, always abundant on the -coast, kindled a great lire, and constantly walking back and forth between it and the water, strove to intimate to the sufferers that they were at least not beyond human sympathy. Aa the wrecked sailors looked shoreward, and the seething water, that opened and closed about thetn like the jaws of death. But the day wore on, bringing no abatement of the storm that tore through the frail spars, and clutched at and tossed tin in a it passed, and drenched them with ice-cold spray a pitiless, unrelenting horror of sight, sonud and tooeb I At last the deep ening glonm told them that night was ap proaching, aud night under such circum stance was death. All day long Abigail Becker had fed her fire, and sought to induce tbo sailors by signals .for aven her strong voice w"u " 'hem to throw tVetn- selves int the surf, and truat to i rovi- dence and her for succor. In anticipation af this, she- hud her kettle boiling over rflO drift-wood, and her tea ready made for re storing warmth aud life to the half-frozen suryivors. But cither they did not un derstand her, or the chance of rescue seemed too small to induce them to aban don the temporary safety of the wreck. They clung to it with the desperate in stinct of life biought face to fac with death. Just at nig lit la II there waa a slight break in -the west ; a red light glar ed across the thick air, as if for one ins stant the eye of the storm looked out upon '.he ruin it bad wrought, andclosed again under lids of cloud. Taking advantage of this, tha solitaiy watcher ashore made one more effort. She w aded oat into tho water, every drop of which, as it struck the beach, became a par ticle of ice, and stretching out and drawing in her arm, invited, by her gestures, tho sailors to throw themselves into the waves, and strive to reach her. Captain Uackett un derstood her. He called to his mate iu the rigging of the other mast : 'It is our last chance. I will try 1 If I live, fol low me ; if I drown, stay where you are !" With a great effort he got off his stiffly frozen overcoat, paused for oiioroonent in silent commendation of his soul to God, and, throwing himself into the 'waves, struck out for the shore. Abigail Bocker breast-deep in the surf, awaited him. He was almost wi'hin her reach when the hwndcrtitw swept him back.

The mate, who bad watched ihe rescue, now followed, and the captain, now partially restored, insisted upon aid ing htm. As tho former neared the shore the recoiling water baffled him. Cap tain Hacked caught hold of him, bat the undertow-swept ilsesa bath away locked in each other's arms. The brave woman plunged after them, and, with .he strength ot a giantess, bora them, clinging to eac other, to the shore and up to her fire. The five sailors followed in succession. aud were all rescued in the same way. A few days after, Captain Uackett and his crew were taken off Long Point by a passing vessel, and Abigail Becker resum ed her t-iraple daily duties without dream ing that she bad done ay thing extraordi nary enough to win fur her the world's notice. In her struggle every day for food and warmth tor her children, she had no leisure for the indulgence of self-coo-gralulation. Like the woman of Scripture she had only "done what she could" in the terrible exigency that had broken the dreary monotony of her life. Atlantic Monthly for Map. SPECIAL NOTICE.
