CHAPTER L
On the 96th of May, 1887, t sat alone
upon the.deck of the Sparhawk, a three-
masted schooner, built, acoordlnir to a
description In the cabin, at Backport,
Me. I was not only alone on the deck,
bnt 1 was alone on the ship. The Spar-
hawk was a “derelicts-” that is, If a ves
sel with a man on board of her can be
said to be totally abandoned.
I had now been on board the schooner
for eight days. How long before that
she had been drifting about at the mercy
of the winds and currents I did not
then know, but I discovered afterward
that during a cyclone early in April she
had been abandoned by her entire crew,
and had since been reported five times
to the hydrographic office of the Navy
Department In Washington and her
positions and probable courses dnly
marked on the pilot chart
She had now become one of that little
fleet abandoned at sea for one cause or
another and floating about this way and
that as the wild winds blew or the ocean
currents ran. Voyaging without pur
pose, as if manned by the spirits of
Ignorant landsmen, sometimes back
ward and forward over comparatively
small ocean spaces, and sometimes
drifting for many months anA over thou
sands of miles, these derelicts form at
night and in fog one of the dangers
most to be feared by those who sail upon
the sea.
As I said before, I came on board the
a v 'ndoned Sparhawk on the 17th of
Slay and very glad Indeed was I to get
my feet again on solid planking. Three
days previously the small steamer Thes-
pla, from Havena to New York, on
which I had been a passenger, had been
burned at sea and all on board had left
her in the boats.
What became of the other boats I do
not know, but the one In which I found
myself In company with five other men,
all Cuban cigar-maker^ was nearly up
set by a heavy wave during the second
night we were out, and we were all
thrown Into the sea. As none of the
Cubans could swim they were all lost,
but I succeeded In reaching the boat,
which had righted Itself, though half
(nil of water.
There was nothing in the boat but
two oars which had not slipped out of
their rowlocks, a leather scoop which
had been tied to a thwart, and the afore-_
mentioned water.
Before morning I had nearly baled
out the boat, and fortunate it was for me
that up to the time of the upset we had
ban enough to eat and drink, for other
wise 1 should not have had strength for
that work and what followed.
Not long after daybreak I sighted the
Sparhawk, and immediately began to
make such signals as I could. The ves
sel appeared to be but a few miles dis
tant and I could not determine whether
she was approaching me or going away
from me. I could see no sign that my
Signals htd been noticed and began
frantically to row towards her. After
a quarter of an hour of violent exertion
I did not appear to be much nearer to her,
but, observing her more closely, I could
, even with my landsman's eyes, that
, I WAS HAIUtD VROM TH* STEAMEB.
something was the matter with her.
Portions of her mast and rigging were
gone and one large sail at her stern ap
peared to be fluttering in the wind.
But it mattered not to me what had
lhappenod to her, she was a ship afloat
ana I must reach her. Tired, hungry
and thirsty, I rowed and rowed, but It
Iwasnot until long after noon that 1
Leached her. She must have been much
“further from me than I had supposed.
! With a great deal of trouble I mam
aged to olamber on board) sod found
{the ship deserted. I hid suspected
ithat this would be the case, for as I had
drawn near 1 would have seen some
sign that my approach was noticed had
there been any body on board to pee
Mire it. But I found av-ai and wa«ia,
and when I waa no longer hungry or
thiraty I threw myself in a berth and
slept until the sun was high the next
day.
I had now been on this derelict vessel
tor eight days. Why she had been de
serted and left to her fate I waa not
seamen enough to know. It is tame that
be, mast* and rigging were In a doleful
condition, but the did not appear to W
leaking, and rod* well upon lb®
There was plenty of food and water on
board and comfortable accommodations.
1 afterwards learned that during the
terrible cyclone whleh had overtaken
W she b»d bent era her beam ends to,

t thought myself to be perfectly safe
and believed It could not be long before
I would be picked up. Of course I did
Hot know my latitude and longitude,
bat I felt sure that the part of the At
lantic In which I waa must be frequent
ly crossed by steamers and other veseela.
About the fourth day I began to feel
mseesv. I had seen hot three sails, and
£h*a* had taksn no notice of the signal
«Uoh theAhaM M Ualtls Ibft nlffSA*
mast ss l had aired to enmo. is was
Indeed no wonder that the signal had at
tracted no attention among the flutter
ing shreds of sails about It
I believe that one ship mast have ap
proached quite near me. I had been
below some time looking over the books
In the captain's room, and when 1 came
on deck I saw the stern of the ship,
perhaps s mile or two distant and sail
ing away. Of course my shouts and
waving* were of no avail. She had prob
ably recognised the derelict Sparhawk
and had made a note of her present po
sition In order to report It to the hydro
graphic office.
The weather had been fair for the
most part of the time, the sea moderate
ly smooth, and when the wind waa
strong the great sail on the mtnen-mast,
which remained hoisted and which I
had tightened up a little, acted after the
manner of the long end of a weather-
vane and kept the ship's head to the sea.
Thus It will be seen that I was not la
a bad plight, bnt although I appreciated
this I grew more and more troubled and
uneasy. For several days I bad not seen
s sail, and if I should see one how
could I attract attention? It must be
that the condition of the vessel indi
cated that there wm no one on board.
Had I known that the Sparhawk wm al
ready entered upon the list of derelicts
I should have been hopeless Indeed.
At first I bung out s lantern as a night
signal, bnt on the second night It was
broken by the wind and I could find
only one other In good condition. The
ship's lights must have been blown away
in the storm together with her boats and
much of her rigging. I would not hang
out the only lantern left me, for fear it
should come to grief and that I should
be left In the dark at night In that
great vessel. Had I known that I wm
on s vessel which had been regularly
relegrated to the ranks of the forsaken
I should better have appreciated the Im
portance of allowing passing vessels to
see that there wm a light on board the
Sparhawk, and, therefore, in all prob
ability a life.
As day after day bad passed I hjd be
come more and more disheartened. It
seemed to me that 1 wm In a part of the
great ocean avoided by vessels of every
kind, that I wm not in the track of any
thing going anywhere. Every day there
seemed to be less and less wind, and
when I had been on board a week the
Sparhawk was gently rising and falling
on a smooth sea In a dead calm. Honr
after hour I swept the horlson with the
captain's glaM, but only onoe did I see
any thing to encourage me. This wm
what appeared like a long line of black
smoke against the distant sky, which
might have been left by a passing
steamer; but, were this the case, I never
saw the steamer.
Happily there were p'enty of pro
visions on board of a plain kind. I
fonnd spirits and wine, and even medi
cines, and In the oaptain's room there
were pipes, tobacco and some books.
This comparative comfort gave me a
new and strange kind of despair. I be
gan to fear that I might become con
tented to live out my life alone in the
midst of this lonely ocean. In that
case, what sort of a man should I be?
It wm about half-pMt eight by the
captain's chronometer when I came on
deck on the morning of the 25th of May.
I had become s late riser, for wbst wm
the good of rising early when there wm
nothing to rise for? 1 had scarcely
raised my eyes above the rail of the ahlp
when, to my utter amaiement, I per
ceived a vessel not a mile away. The
sight wm so unexpected and the sur
prise was so great that my, heart almost
stopped beating M I stood and gated at
her.
Sbe was a medium-sized Iron steamer
and lay upon the sea In a peculiar fash
ion, her head being much lower than
her stern, the latter elevated so much
that l could see part of the blades of her
motioniess propeller. She presented
the appearance of a ship which wm just
shout to plunge, bow foremost. Into the
depths of the ocean, or which had just
risen, stern foremost, from thoss depths.
With the exception of her position
and the fact that no smoke-stack was
visible, she seemed, to my eyes, to be
in good enough trim. She had probably
been In collision with something, and
her forward compartments had filled.
Deserted by her crew, she had become
a derelict, and, drifting about In her
desolation, had fallen In with another
derelict as desolate as herself. The
fact that I wm on board the Sparhawk
did not, In my eyes, make that vessel
any the less forsaken and forlorn.
The coming of this steamer gave me
no comfort. Two derelleta, In their
saddening eflecta upon the splrita,
would be twice m bad m one, sn4, more
than that, there wm danger should a
storm arise that they would da*b Into
each other and both go to the bottom.
Despairing M I had become, l did not
want to go to the bottom.
At I gased upon the steamer I could
aee that she wm gradually approaching
me. There wm a little breese this
morning, and to much of her hun *w ’
out of the water that It caught a godd
deal of the wind. The Sparhawk, on
the contrary, wm bnt little affected by
the breese, for apart from the fact that
the great sail kept her head always to
the wind, she wm heavily laden with
sugar and molasses and Mt deep I* ‘J 1 ®
water. The other wm net coming di
rectly towards me, but would probably
pass at a conalderable distsnoe. I did
not at all dealre that sbe should come
near the Sparhawk.
Suddenly my heart gave a jump. I
could distinctly see on the stern of the
steamer the flutter of something white.
It was waved. Somebody must be wav-
^Hitherto I had not thought of the spy*
glass, for with my naked eyes I could
gee all that I oared to see of the vesael,
but »ow I dMhed below to get It When
I brought It to bear upon the steamer
1 mw plainly that the white object wm
waved by some one, and that some one
wm a woman. I could see shove the
rail the upper part of her body, her un
covered head, her uplifted ant wildly
the thought suddenly struox me taut,
receiving no reepgnM, she had In de
spair given up signaling. Cursing my
stupidity I Jerked my handkerchief from
my pocket and climbing a little way
Into the rigging 1 began to wave It
madly. Almost Instantly her waving
recommenced J soon stopped signal
ing and so did she. No more of that
wm needed. 1 sprang to' the deck and
took up the glia*.
The woman was gone, bnt In a few
moment* *he r .appeared armed with a
glasa This action f 1 s’ me with amaze
ment. Could It be possible that the
wo.-an wm alone on the steamer and
that there wm no one else to signal and
to look out? The thing was Incredible,
and yet. If there were men on board,
why did they not show themselves?
And why did not one of them wave the
signal and nse the glass?
The steamer was steadily but very
slowly nearing the Sparhawk when the
woman removed the glMS and stood np
wslsthlgb above the rail of the stesmer.
Now I could see her much better; I
fancied I could almost discern her fest-
urea. She was not olfl; she was well-

must have remained tor some minutes
half lying, half seated, on the deck. I
wt" nearly stuplfled by the statement X
had heard.
I will now My a few words conoern-
Iflg Miss Berths Nugent Sbe was a lady
whom I had known well In New York,
and who, for more than a year, I had
loved well, although I never told her
so. Whether or not she suspected my
psssion was a question about which I
had never been able to Mtisfy myself.
Sometimes I bad one opinion; some
times another. Before 1 had taken any
step to assure myself positively In ro-
garu to this point Miss Nugent went
abroad with a party of friends, and for
eight months 1 bad neither seen nor
beard from her.
During that time I had not ceased to
berate my eel/ for my InexonMble pro
crastination. A* she went away with
out knowing my feelings towards her,
of course there could be no corre
spondence. Whatever she might hare
suspected, or whatever she might have
expected, there wm nothing between us.
But on my part my love for Bertha
had grown day by day. Hating tha city
and even the country where I had seen
her and loved her and where now she
wm not, I traveled here and there, and
daring the winter went to the West In
dies. There I had remained until the

onapeu; ner blulsn-gray arezi
her snugly. Holding the rail with one
hand she stood up very erect, which
must have been somewhat difficult, con
sidering the inclination of the deck.
For a moment I fended I had seen or
known some one whose habit it was to
stand np very erect m this woman stood
npon the steamer. The notion was
banished M absurd.
Wondering what I.should do. what In
stant action I should tal*v I laid down
my glass, and as I did so the woman
Immediately took up here. Her object
wm plain enough; she wanted to ob
serve me. which she ijould not well do
when a view of my face waa obstructed
by the glass and my outstretched arms.
I wm sorry that I,bad not sooner given
her that opportunity and foj some mo
ments I stood and frfeed her, waving my
hat m I did so.
I was wild ^fth excitement What
should I do? What could I do? There
were no boats on the Sparhawk, and
wbat had become of tbs one in which I
reached her I did not know. Thinking
of nothing bnt getting on board the ves
sel, I had forgotten t< make the boat
fast, and when I went to look for It a
day or two afterwards it was gone. On
the steamer, however, I saw a boat
hanging from davits near the stern.
There wm hope In th^t
But there mi'ph* be no need for a boat.
Under the Inflr *noe of the gentle breeze,
the steamer we/, steadily drawing nearer
’Jo the Sparhawk. Fernsps they might
to»w- e»°b other. Du; this Idea was
qoon .Ispelled, for I could see that the
.wind would qgrry the steamer past me,
although, perhaps, at no great distance.
Then my hopes sprang back to the boat
hanging from her davits.
But before these hopes oould take
shape the woman and her glass died
out of sight behind the rail of the steam
er. In about a minute she reappeared,
stood up erect, and applied a speaking
trumpet to her mouth. It was possible
that a high, shrill voice might have
been heard from one vessel to the other,
but It wm plain enough that this was a
woman who took no useless chances. I,
too, most be prepared to hall as well as
to be hailed. Quickly I secured a speak
ing trumpet from the captain's room
and stood np st my post.
Across the water came the monosylla
ble “Hoi” and back I shouted “Hallol”
Then came these words, as clear and
distinct as any I ever beard In my life:
"Are yon Mr, Rockwell?"
This question almost took sway my
senses. Wm this reality? or had a
spirit risen from this lonely ocean to
ajimmon me somewhere? Wm this the
way people died? Rockwell? Yes, my
name wm Rockwell. At least It had
been. I wm sure of nothing now.
Again came the voice across the sen
"Why don't you answer?'' It said.
I raised my trumpet to my lips. At
first I could make no sound, but, con
trolling my agitation a little, I shouted:
“Y**!”
Instantly the woman disappeared, and
for ten minutes I saw her no morq.
During that time I did nothing but
stand and look at the steamer, which
was moving more slowly than before for
the reason that the wind was dying
away. She was now, however, nearly
opposite me, and so near that If the
wind should cease entirely conversa
tion might be held without the
aid of trumpets. I earnestly hoped this
might be the Cfso, for I had njp recov
ered the possession of my senses and
greatly desired to bear the natural voice
of that young woman on the steamer.
As soon m she reappeared I made a
trial of the power of my voice. Laying
down the trumpet I shouted: “Who are
yon?"
Back came the answer, clear, high and
perfectly audiblei “I am Mary Phil-
Mary Phillips! It seemed to me that
I remembered the name. I wm certain
ly familiar with (he erect attitude, and
I fancied that I recognized the featured
of the speaker. Bnt this wm all; I
could not place her.
Before I oould say any thing she
hailed again: "Don't yon remember
me?" she "cried; *T Uveu In Forty-second
street"
The middle of a wild and desolate
ocean and a voice from Forty-second
street! What manner of conjuncture
wm this? I clasped my hsad in ny
hands and trie! * think. Suddenly a
memory came to me; a wild, surging,
raging memor}.
“With what perens did you live In
Forty-second street?” I yelled across
the ..ater.
"Miss Berths Nugent," she replied.
A fire seamed to blaze within me.
Standing on tiptoe I fairly screamed:
"Bertha Nugent! Where la she?"
The answer came back; “Here!”
And when I heard it my legs gave way

weather bad become too warm for a
longer sojourn, and then I had taken
passage In the Thespis for New York.
I knew that Bertha would probably re
turn in the Rprlng or summer, and I
must be In New York when »ho arrived.
If when I met her I found her free,
there would bo no more delay. My life
thenceforth wou^l be black or white.
And now here she was near me In a
half-wrecked steamer on the wide At
lantic, with no companion, m 1 knew,
but her maid. Mary Phillips.
