There was a npaamodio movement of the body, and this time bit muttering was distinct enough f >r ber to comprehend - "Starboard, xiarboard, confound ye. There'* the l>uu Uuy we must bold off." The rest of his words faded into mdn- tinotuera again. The turmoil above grew louder, and tbe movements ol the engine more eccentric than before. She dipped tbe towel iu cold water, and bathed bit face and hands He breathed more freely and regularly than be bad been doing for some time, and preaently he opened bis eyct. What weary, wild eyea they were, staring at ber without the least sign of recognition t They frightened her, and yet tbey brought the tears which relieved her own parched 1 1) j you no ken me Bob?" she hesitated a little over tbe name.

" lie get a doctor for the sooondrel that nearly mined me a* weel aa drooned as a' I" exclaimed tbe oaptain, aa much as- tounded by his daughter's calmness aa by ber nrat disobedience. " I tell you he wa drinking when b* was at tbe wheel, and that would hae been enough for me even if he badua put ut a' in siooan dangar." " How do you know that be waa drinking when at tbe wheel?" she anked calmly. " Cargill told me he took a dram from him."* Ah ' " Tbe exclamation wan short, quick, witb a drawing in of the breath.

" Father, will you not send for a doctor ?" nhe pleaded once more. " I'll no bear another word, you hiczie, but I'll hae something to say to you in a wee while." To her amazement Ross stood up, un- steadily, but still maintaining the position. He drew one band dazedly across bis eyes and said huskily No tor m, Annie no forme yon shall not suffor tor me. I'll go. Your father ia right. I begin to mind now, and it U bia kind thought tbat laves me from a jail it is not all clear yet; but it is coming baok. Me standing at tbe wheel and no power to speak and that's all." " Bide a minute and I'll get Jock Burns to go with you," and sbs darted np tbe stair. Captain Duncan was puzzled. He oould not make out tbe man ; tbia waa not tb* way be had evar before seen anybody who wa* " fou" behave. But then there was nothing else to explain hi* falling asleep at tbe wheel ; and so he answered tbe puzzle by resolving to stick to his first impression. " I am sorry for you, Bob ; but you bae brought it on yonrsel' and I cacoa pass it over. Had it been onybody else I would bae been on tbe look out for sic a tbing, but no wi' yon no wi' you." " Yon are doing kindly by me, oaptain, and I thank you," ssid tb* poor man, again passing bia band dazedly over bis eyes. " I dinna understand yet ; but it's comiag to me, and I ken that I was wrung. I thank you and I'll go." H* made a step forward, staggered, and fell baok upon tbe seat. He would have fallen on th* floor but tbat tbe sturdy cap tain caught bim in time. CHAPTER X. A HOFELK88 CA*B. Tb* first person Annie encountered on tbe deck was Cargill, and for an instant sbe nhraiik from him, clutching tbe top ol tbs cabin stair to prevent herself from falling backward. H* held out bis baud to aid her , but sbe recovered herself without taking tbe proffered hand. Daring tbe time of danger the most ter ror-fctrioken face of all on board bad been tbat of Cargill. He grasped the nearest rope of tbe rigging, aud clung to it as if be were already drowning, and Ibis waa tbe Uat traw of hope. His flabby cheeks gre yellow, and his fishy eyes started in bu bead mete prominent than ever. He bad never contemplated the possibility of wreck. When the danger was over be was tbe nrat one to recover his equanimity, and to pretend tbat be bad not been at al disturbed by tbe incident. He lit a cigar, aud whilst apparently looking on at the bustle which preceded tbe arrival in port, be hovered about the cabin skylight and the stair, wmbing to go down, and, for some reason, unable to do so, straining bis ears to catch any sound tbat might oome from below. He beard nothing. He advanced to the captain several time* a* if to apeak, but saw that he wouk receive very little grace if he attempted it Then be walked baok to the cabin skylight and hovered about it as before. But when they were fast in port be met the captain on bis way to tbe cabin, told him of th dram he had riven to Rom, with man; expreaaions of regret at tbe almcst fata consequence, and taking hi* full abare o blame. At tbe same time he offered bis flank to tbe oaptain, who very willingly took a dram whilst saying " It waa a foolish thing for you to do though kindly meant; but it was a weel we'll no say nae mair about that, diona want to be in a passion when I gan doon to bim. I'm no gauo to prosecute bim, aa I might do; but out o' tint boa be goea this minute, it he baa to be oarnei out." "Don't be too hard on bim, oaptain Us moat have bad a drop before tbat b did not take into tcaount. One glaa oould never havo had such an effect upon bim." He maun bae bad a gnid wheen drape afore oonfouod bim I for you see I hae taeu a big dram the noo, aud I'm a bee tb* better o't instead o' being the waur Bat that's no to tbe purpose. He bad nae right to touch onything when he wae 01 duty." All tbe same, oaptaiu, for your ow ntke, don't be hard on bim." " Ob, I'm no gaun to be bard on him, aa l bae told yon. I bae had ower muokl liking for bim for that. I'll manage qnie euougb ; but we maun get bim ashore ; oanna thole to bae bim near me." 80 tbe oaptain went below, and Oargil as before, hovered about tbe cabin, an thus encountered Annie when she rusbe and partly out of a wise discretion, know ing bin own temper, he bad delayed coming until the " Maroiaid" waa safely moored in PeUirbead harbor. Now when became, be found her holdirg K *' baads and peaking softly to bim. His passion blazed up in npite of bimeelf. ' What are you doing there with tbat Hcoondrol ? Come out o' that tbia mo tnent," She did not move, aid Roes waa appar- ently quite UU-JDBOIOUS of tbe angry and bitter words. " Did you no bear me ?" shouted the father. " I tell you that you are no to disgrace yours*!' by speaking another word to bin." " Father, be is no weel," sbe said gently, but without releasing ber lover's bands. "No weel! -he'll be weel enough when be geta over bit drunken fit." " This U not a drunken fit, father. He is | up from below. " Do you want anything oan I get it to you'." be asked eagerly. No yes, thank you," she said excitedly aed with a little confusion. " Walt minute." She passed him and ran to tbe bow where the men stood in a group, talkin and smoking. As there waa to be no discharge of cargo till tbe following day, tbey were all taking their ease and dm ousoing tbe strange events of tbe passage. ' I want you to go down to tbe cabin, Jock," aaid rbe touching the arm of a thick- set, grey bearded man, "and bide with Bob Roes ; he U not well." " You're fashing yoursel' owe r muokle about him, missy" (that waa ber name on board tbe " Mermaid") ; " but I'll do your bidding." 11 1 tell yon all h* it not well ; be WM I not ton." Tbat'a jntt what I was saying,", a* erted a sturdy fellow named Campbell- end again he aame who had been the look-out at oaptor. ie moment of peril, " for b* waa apeak ng to me no ball an hour afoie he put tb* heel wrang, and he was as sober aj a udge." The man said this doggedly, having just Men contending with much opposition from lis matea. You are right, Campbell," said Annie, rateful to find aom* one who agreed with er. She had been much dinappoiuted by manner in wbiob Jock Huron bad beyed her ; for she bad counted upon him Hoes' friend, and found that be, too, bared tbe oommon belief regarding tbe .use of tbe pilot's blunder. Go you up to tbe town and fetch tbe it doctor you can find tbat will com* mmediately." Then she went back to Cargill, who wat aiting for ber with every appearance of ;olid patience in hit general bearing ; bat ie fish eye* rolled retlesly between the lore and the group of men to whom she ad been speaking. It waa the late gloaming th* hoar when ea and land appear most beautiful, ouohed by the saddest, swee' n at. most mysterious ligbta and shades. Voioei and 11 sounds seemed hushed, and the rentlrs* lash of tbe sea is like the low croon of a mother singing a lullaby. Tb* abadowt eepen slowly, and by -and -by all is hushed and yet not dark. Suddenly there eomee a glory in the sky ; reat shafts of lighu of many colors, like traight rainbows, dart across it through white stream*, and th* eye* are filled witb ouder. This is the tirjt time I have seen the Northern Ligbta, nisi Murray," aaid Car- ill aa be advanced to meet ber; "and tbey re certainly admirable." " Ay, they are fine." ahe answered ravely, checking the inclination she felt to bow her dislike for bia conventional ex- reasion of admiration : " we who bavs seen them before believe they are something more than admirable we cannot put oar onder into words.' That it exactly how I feel," be an wered, evidently quite unoonsoiooa of tbe ebuke conveyed in her simple words. But remarkable as these phenomena art, ill you believe it, there it something wbiob occupies my mind so much at pre sent tbat I am unable to give them proper .ttention ?" Indeed?' It is true. May I tell you what U if , lias Murray?" May I speak to yon first, Mr. Car- gill ?" Even bis dull self-oonceit waa taken .back by this ouriouii way of replying to lis question. He ftuoied he bad spoken n tbe tones of a charmer be did believe limaelf an invincible lady-winner and he spoiled all bis fine preparaiioLs by a (quest which be oould not refuse. He lad a great objection to be created even in rifles. Yet she bad spoken very quietly ; and .be wonder overhead now appearing as ominous white streams t imply shone on ner calm, asd face, making it so beautiful hat for tbs first time be became vaguely conscious tbat there waa something in tbe world finer and nobler than himself. He made tbe grand bow wbicb a dancing master bad tooght bim, and which be bad earned to perform witb leas grace than an wkward elephant might have tbown. Bhe smiled in a sad, half-hearted way . >ut still shs smiled, and bis goofi opinion of himself waa restored. Tbst bo * bad conquered bsr. 1 waa just going to auk you, Mr. Cargill what did Mr. UOSM look like wb*n yon ga** urn tbat dram from your flask ? Did be icok aa if b* bad been drinking ?" This wae extremely disagreeable in asv eral ways, but particularly because it took jii mind entirely away from tbe arrange mentof tb* pretty pbraaee in wbiob he was to express the thought whiob was uppermost in it. His answer wssto prompt to her quick wit il seemed to have toen studied. I really did not think so, or you may be Hure I would have been the last p*rson in tbe wcrld to add to the poor fellow's Illinium to say uothiog of the faot tbs i-i.ui- 1 li ration for our safety would have prevented ma doing so." Did yon speak to him ?" For a few minute*, yea." Aud be answered yea nensibl> enough '.'" I must say tbat HO far as my reoolleo tion goes, he did. No oue was more snr prised than I waa wheu tbe real atate o tbe case waa brought so unpleaaautl before us. Bat of eourra I had no suspicion tbat be oould be guilty of such anon nta pidity." He had hesitated over the word be shouli use ; for he desired to show a frisndly dit position toward* Rout. Thank you, Mr. Cargill. It wae a pit; you gave him tbat dram." She turned away, looking anxiously to tbe return of Campbell witb the doctor Cargill'a heavy paw retted on her arm. " Are you forgetting, Mis* Murray, tbat I asked to be allowed to speak to yon ?" "No." " Then permit me to do so now" (be had returned bis grand air and tbe flabby untile which he thought HO winning). " You know the question I want to ask ; your father wiclirH you to say >et , and I need uo, say that I desire you to say yea." She turned upon him those clear bright eyea and that fair troubled face. " I will rpeak honestly, Mr. Carf-ill, and it will save you and me a heap of vexation, maybe. I kuow what you mean, and I tell you once for all that an long as I live my answer will bo the same to you as it is now yon oan never have yen from me." " But your father would like it." " Ay, but be would never wish me to do what I do not like MM! do not think would be right." Tbe man WM not a wooer ; be bad not the feelings of one. bo, instead of persuad- ing, instead of fueling tbat b* muat giv* everything to win the oue object he desirtd, be felt his pride wounded, be drew np hit big frame and nned reproach. " It cannot be tbat after what ha hap- pened you ttill think of thin man, Rom! Yon yourself said tbat a man who oould dingraoe himself aa be has done would not be worth thinking about." Hbe felt her cheeks tingling and the looked down M abe spoke in a low voice. " You have no bnsineea with what I msy think, Mr. Cargill." Then she looked np and her eyes bright a* she oned: "Here's tbe It was curious bow th* pnde puffed form of Cargill appeared to oollapae at that an- inuooement, and he slunk baok a few looe*. Campbell oame forward with a grey- laired, muscular looking gentleman, whose 'resh healthy face gave evidence tbat b* ivd much out of doors. On tbe way to th* tteamer Campbell had told Dr. Pratt the oiroumatanoe* of tbe oaee, so that he wa* ready to see tbe patieat at one*. Annie went down to tbe cabin with him, aud, ml ter some hesitation, Cargill followed, but stopped at tbe foot of th* stair. Koss waa lying on th* seat where he had 'alien when he made bis attempt to leave. :lu wat again in a atate of atupor. Cap- .am Dunoa.ii was moving restlessly about ; Took Burns was standing by, stolid aud ndiffsrent. Annie watched the doctor's face eagerly whilst he was examining tbe patient ; and waited, breathless, for tbe verdict. Tbe doctor treated the oaae in a brit-k, off-band way as one of mere drunkenness, and Annie'a heart ached with aharne. " He U a strong healthy fellow," he said, and there is nothing tbe matter with him except tbat b* baa had a drop too much. ;'ut bim into a berth aud let him sleep it iff. lie' II be all right when be wakens." Then tbe doctor, too, WM against her ; ie also found tbat common explanation for .he condition of Boas, Annie felt that tbe aat hope of convincing her father that there waa a mistake wa* gone. According ,o tb* doctor, there bad been no " fit," no udden attack of illness only tbat vulgar crime of drunkenness). But i-hu had faith, and she did not de apair even now. Boss wakened in hi* berth early in tbe morning ; bat be waa not yet " all right," tbs doctor bad predicted be would be. He was certainly much better ; but be was till confused, and tor a little while unable to comprehend bis position. Then it flatbed upon him with cruel vividness the dnuk tbe dirgraoe. He could not yet recollect all tbat bad happened, but enough was clear to make bim anxious to get away from tbe " Mer- maid" without causing more pe>in to Annie. With that thought he tamed out of tbe berth and soused bis head well in cold water. Then b* bad only to pull on bia boots and faslsu bis necktie, for kit clothe* had not been taken off. That done, be made his way to the deck, purposing to go on chore and take tbe first train home. Whai was to be don* afterwards would b* decidec when his head was clearer. Early aa it was, however, Captain Dun oan was already astir, and aa toon as Ross appeared from below, they met. I am aorrv for you. Bob, but ita tbe best tbiug you can do to gang hame by train.

Ross bowed bit bead and oould not speak. Presently the oaptain went on Hows'ever, yon oan mak' your mine eaay tae far tbat I'll no tpeak a word about it, aud the lads will band their tongues for your sake. At tbe same time I am done i' yon." " It'* very good of yon. oaptain," sai( ROM, spaaking low and huskily ; but al though yon may bide it from other folk, you oanoot bide it from me. That'* tb* won of it. I don't know yet exactly what I have done or bow I did it ; but I dare say I abal learn it all aoou enough. Tuauk yon, auc by*." He *i nt on shore, tb* oaptain lookini after him witb something wistful in tbe ex of hit ruddy face. Uuddeuly be turned and shouted "Campbell here. You gang up to th tattoo wi' Bob Rosa and ene him safe into the train. Im donbtin' be'a uo jutt bim eel' yet." Campbell obeyed willingly ; he waa tb* only on*, except Anule, who bad the lightest doubt as to tbe cause of Rues disgrsoe. Tbeoaptaio turned to hit duties with an excess of energy, aa if antions tc forget in the bumle tbit piuful incident. When Cargill roe and learned tbat hi rival waa safely off, lie waa in high glee He bad DO doubt tbat now witb a olea oonnie before him and with her father 01 bis tide, be would speedily overcome An nie's o K jeotiout. In bit cunning schemes however, he did not take into account bi own olumsiuese. Annie did. oa just taking a daunder to see tb* kin- try ?"
