thought it best tohave everything ready

much like 4 damnation and the like.

the ear of Jethro, for he forbore to put

Jetii used oonoxious laniruaire.

be the means of enabling the (irampus to

sake of humanity if thon art determin

j' Stand by to lower tlte boats!' vocifer
ated Seth, stamping furiously upon the
deck. A suppressed groan of horror es
caped the crew, as they now more plain
ly conceived the design of their captaia.

The little schooner still lav to. in the
trough of a deep sea, her people running
backward and tor ward in frightened coo
fusion while tliehngo bulk of the lirBrnV
pus mounted the last high wave that sep
eratcd the two vessels.
1 Mim'rievrde V exclaimed a hundred
voices.
A wild scream of despair heard far
above the noise of the element, and the
dashing of the ship burst from tlie poor
doomed Frenchmen.
Down came the Grampus, thundering
upon the privateer, and st rikiglr witE.
her plunging bow directly amidships.
The frail schooner was cut directly in two
by the shock ; and her heavy armament,
together with the irresistible force of tlie
severing blow, bore both parts of her
hull, with all her illfated crew of a hun
dred souls, beneath the wave.
' Down with the boats from the Quar
terlaunch the longboat,' shouted Seth.
Uut tho command, though it could not
have been uttered nor executed sooner
with safety, came too late. Tlie aim of
Seth 4iad been too fatally sure. The boata
reached the spot, and narrowly escaped
being sucked into the vortex where the
the schooner had gone down. The French
crew were all sent to their long account;
and the next wave left not a trace of tlie
wreck, nor a solitary human being to be
saved trout a watery death.
The ship and cargo were dearly ran
somed, Jethro Coffin ; and, Seth, thou
didst sacrifice a hecatomb of human be-'
ings for thy preservation.
