Diiriaj Uje niontH of August, in the year 1 87-, a largo i:en steamship was blown aslioieon- a wi!-J portion of the enstcrn coast of Florida in IituTicane. Bho it-ra called the Ladono, and was baunct to Now Orleans from Now York Trith -an assorted cargo. .1 ' Sho settled down in the sand with her nose in tho air, sone 200 yard3 from tho beach. -At lowtido one could wadooat to within thirty feet of her, the swirl of northeasterly wares having formed a channel all round her bow.' Tho btern had settled down in tan fathorjwof water. In tlioso days this portion cf tha east ern coast was wry thinly settled by hunt er.?, cowboys and a few families from other coutbern states, n.tly driven from their old homes by tho resulting exigen-. cies of tbo civil wur. All were poor, t:io hurrieaTj"! Iiad rained their crops, so they C'lllici'ed from far and near to despoil tiiis crippled giant of the ocean of Us treasures.: .. A party of fonr, known severally cs Cap, Litt'lo Dave, Boy Eluo and Old It xm Moorv. aiTived in a half famished condition about midnight on the lagoon sido of the harrow strip r.f land that EuardJ from tho Atlantis surges tho long ueries of tide water sounds hero lining tho ocean sboro for 300 miles. A heavy rain stcrra of tho previous night had ruined their supply of hominy. Ai tho residua of their "grub" consisted solely of a tomato can full of odorous lard, their hunger was easily accounted for. Sonic other campera had their muS' quito bars stretched at tho boat landing. O.jj ot wu- party discovered a pot of. stowed onions ivnA polutoos by tho ein bers,of. their- lire. The appetizing smell waa too- much for' tho probity of half jstarved mcii. Tho pot wits suri'eptitiously conveyed to .1 safe distance in mo scrub and emptied quiuily of its contents. "Tho"interpo.jition of that pot of souko to cortiiidy providential," quoth Cap, tho moralisr of tho party. '-It saves U3 awhila frorj drawing straws to sao which of v shall bo eaten first. " They stealthily returned the pot, laugliing over its owner' probablo stato of mind on finding it empty in the rnora hig. Then, shouldering their betiding and a coaplo ot empty cooking vessels, they stirta-l for tho osean beach, then aboxtt a milo distant. . Tlio moon shone brightly, and the light Mud brocso sweeping over tho lagoon was laden with masqititx from tho marshes. Tao rnuSlod tliunder of tho breakers floated over th sand hills with iiitersHtteii y fetriii pmvs; At last the mighty sheen of waters and tho broad eloping avenue Of tho beach, swept clean by tin perpetual tides, lay before them. "They wearily trod tho hard, rooUt sand, looking for a convenient place to 6prcad down for the night. . A niilo to tho 60uth'ard iho black bow of tho Liadona projected from tho sea, surrounded by n curling swarm of break ers. Strung along the candhiila were a eeriea. of ru le bivouacs, marked by sheliaring arrangements cf Ixixes and barreis, and Iho Capping cf numerous ruu!5q:uto bars. Iluinlx-rs of men, singly or i:i croups, wandered along the beach watching tho waves for wreckage, or gathering tho potatoes and onions drifting ashore from several hundred barrels that had been washed from tho steamer's main deck. Oar party wcro soon installe'l la a camp, sheltered from tho wind by sev eral dry goods eases, and at low tide wero ready to po on board with tiie rest, Thero were threo reoro or nioro of the beach combeTS, divided Into groups of from five to a dozen, w1k tlien swam and wailed on board, and got out such portions of the cargo as they could, until tlio tido bocamfl too high for euch work. Then tho goods were thrown on the beach, into as many equal piles as" there wero men ia tho gang. One man wduld tura his head and another one. pointing to a certain lot, woul I say to hint: "Whoso rule b thii?" John Smith's." Jo! in Smith would then stand by his pila until all were similarly apportioned, when each man would carry oil and care fjr Id i own plunder. Everybody was short of provisions and every one lived on tho wrecked potat and onions until, as Little Dave said, TImj whole country sraeiled Lko a garlic patch." A shrewd Ohio man saw liow things were, aodjuiotly going home, returned in a few lays with boat load of Hour, meat, ootioo and bacon. Tliat move was con.i lereJ to ha-o made his fortune Uen aal Uicrc. Djcra sold for oim iir of tUoci per pound, wlule it took a good ptiir of Loots to secure an ctpial amount of co.Tea.

'Served him right for Ida greed.'1 Uiey 'said; -but tho man only practiced on a small ccalo what many large grain opera tors do on a large scale when they get the chance. . ' Tho first timo oar greenhorns stood on the slippery h'.clino of tho Lidona's for ward deck, with ravenous waves surging past then shoreward, or dashing up the main deck toward them with an angry swash nnd roarj tlio land behind seemed a milo away. It wa3 tlifflcult to accus tom themselves to work, with tins briny uproar about their cars, even in mild weather. .: .'.(.:' " The roods were haded up through the forward batch. Tho men hadto lowcf themselves into tliree feet of water, that grew deeper, toward tho waist of the s!'.ip,:"nnd grope, half submerged, about a dark, slimy holo for whatever they might find. Afterward thoy had to dive through the second hatchway to tho lower hold, securing themselves by a lino fastened to tho wai3t, -with tho other cud held by the ir mates overhead. Tho cclioing din of tho breakers outside, the sense of weakness and of loneliness down there amid tlio darkness and tho Lrine, with, perhaps, unknown monsters of tho deep hovering near, tried their nerves severely, though practiced beach comber3 mado light of it nil. ; ; ' , Ono day cn agent of tho uatlcnvritors aiTived, ciid annonaccd that, as ell the wrecking so far donrx was illegal, he rmil.'l tf.irn niKKession f thb coods and assume faturo charge of orKrationsjiufi" self. Ho was. imiucci.itciy surrounded by a clamorous mob, that soon began to howl for blood, or ah undisturbed recog nition of their rights. ... Tlio country was isolated, tho goods jierishable. and . tho bench co:nbcr3 des perate. The agent concluded that dis cretion was tho better part of valor and deported, fulminating direful threats re garding certain forthcoming legal pen alties which wero never afterward heard of by tho ones threatened. - " The first Sunday at tho wreck was sad dened by tlio discovery of Iho body cf an unknown bey, minus tin arm Iruawo.l eff by sharks. The cickening tlirul that comes over one, oa finding a cnrjise washed up from tho sea, can har-Jly be dcicribcd. Death hai a forbidding near ness, tvs though tlio sightless face turned upward toward tho uky had opened its damb mouth end eaid: ""Ii might havo been thou." Oao reineniberd tho peti tion for deli verm co- from sudden death, and men, otherwiso godless, reverently bear tho utifcrtanato to his grave timong tho sand bills, and for tho rest of the day go about subdued and icilective. Go voral barrels of sugar, but little dam aged ty their long submersion, wero taken front tho Ladona's hold, and wero tho cause' of a Uughablo affair.- Oid Moss Moore, being an cM backv.-eodi recluse, bad damped by himself- at a point romo sixty yard i:i tho roaf of tho ot!ier beach coiiibcra. Ono night they wcra aroused from their muscpiito ban by shouts from that direction, nnd tho sonnd of bo-es or barrels being uiiset. In a minute or so old Mossy himself burst into their uzUaf, with lii bag liair and undergoraionts flying. . "Uo;.-s." ho gasped, ''tho devil himself Ii over tlir.r pLiyin' thunder with every thing." . Eut while lie wr.s explaining the de?p bay cf 01,1 Foot, a veteran houud tint hall liecn MoiM Moore's inseparable com panion for years, was heav-l, echoiug down tho marsh lying beyond thcoaw palmettos at tbo rear of tho eand dunei bordering tho beaeli.

Tho master, sud denly roused from dumber, fled in ter ror; but tlio dog liad courageously put iho bear to flight at once. " Our party continued tlteir wreckltig oixrrations for a week fcnger, when an event occurred that at once terminated all dt-aire oa lira jiart of tnanv to f uither risk themselves oa board the ill fated steamship. A heavy southeaster la blown for two days, during which no tri to tlio wr.-ck could be made, while tho heavy cable stretching front the vcsw-1 to the shore was half tho time invisible beneath tlte great green "comljers," somo of which burnt upward into towering high innsKm aloft the xtump of tho foremast nnd f;.Il over tito bow in thundering tJn-cfs of foam.

Boy Blua was nearly os good as a Bahama diver nt holding his breath, but his mates grew uneasy this time over his delay in jerk ing tho ropo. Finally 15 was jerked with a vengeance, nearly sending Xiittlo Dave, who held it, headlong through tho hatch. Then they began pulling, astonished to feel how heavy Boy Bjuo had grown in tdio last minuto or so. "Ilo's got a ca30 of dry goods this time." 'Or a barrel of csr.l oii." "Or ono of those" , Theu- commnits wero cut short by the appearance ot Boy Blue's back aud leg, with two dark, shiny looking amis twined round them.
