CHAPTER II.
I now hod a very dlatlnot rocollectlon
•4 Mary Philllpa. In my visits to tha
Nnffant household In Forty-second
Irtreet I had frequently teen this young
Woman. Two or three times when Miss
Nugent had not been at home, 1 had had
•light interviews with her. She always
treated me with a certain cordiality,
and I had tome reason to think that If
Miss Nugent really suspected my feel
ings, Mary Phillips had given her some
hints on tho subject
Mary Phillips was an exceedingly
bright and quick young woman, and I
am quite sure that she could see Into
the state of a man's feelings as well as
any one. Bertha had given me many
instances of her maid’s facilities for
adapting herself to circumstances, and
I was now thankful from the bottom of
my heart that bertha had this woman
with her.
I was reooverlng from the stupefac
tion into whlsh my sudden emotions
had plunged me when a hall came
across the water, first in Mary Phillips’
natural voice and then through a speak
ing-trumpet. I stood up and answered.
“I was wondering,” cried Mary
Phillips, “what had become of you; I
thought perhaps you had gone down to
breakfast.” In answer I called to her
to tell me where Miss Nugent was, how
•he was, how she came to be In this sur
prising situation and how many people
there were on board the steamer.
! "Miss Nugent has not been at all
well,” answered Mary, “but she bright
ened up as soon as I toid her you were
here. She can not come on deck very
wall, because the pitch of the ship
makes the stairs so steep. But I am
going to give her bar breakfast new,
and after she has eaten something she
may be stronger, and I will try to get
her on deck."
Brightened up when she knew I was
near! That was glorious! That bright
ened up creation.
By this tlnto I needed food also, but I
Sid not remain below to eat It. I
brought my breakfast on deck, keeping
my eyes all the time fixed upon Bertha's
Steamer. The distance between us did
not seem to have varied. How I longed
for a little breeze that might bring us
together. Bertha was on that vessel
trusting, perhaps, entirely to me; and
what could I do if some breeze did not
bring us together. I looked about for
Something on which I might float to
her; but if I made a raft I was not sure
that I oould steer or propel It, and I
might float away and become a third
derelict. Once I thought of boldly
springing Into the water and swimming
to her, but the distance was consider
able, my swimming powers were only
moderate, and there might be sharks.
The risk was too great. But surely we
would come together. Even if no kind
wind arose, there was that strange at
traction which draws to each other tho
bubbles on a cup of tea. If bubbles,
why not ships?
It was not long before nearly one-
half of Mary Phillips appeared above
the rail. “Miss Nugent has come on
deck," she cried, “tnd she wsntstosee
you. She can't stand up very long be
cause every thing is so sliding."
Before my trembling Ups oould frame
an answer she bad bobbed out of sight,
and presently reappeared supporting
another person, and that other person
■wss Bertha Nugent
I oould discern her features perfectly.
She was thinner and paler than when I
had last seen her, but her beauty was
all there. The same smlla which I bad
Seen so often was upon her face as she
Waved her handkerchief to me. I waved
my hat In return, but I tried two or
three times before I oould speak loud
enough for her to bear me. Then I
threw into my words all the good cheer
and hope that I could.
She did not attempt to answer, hut
railed more brightly than before. Her
expreeslon seem to Indicate that, apart
from the extraordinary pleasure of
meeting a friend on this waste of waters,
jahe was glad that I was that friend.
. “She oen't apeak loud enough for you
to hear her," called out Mary Phillips,
!"but she esys that now you are here she
'thinks every thing will be all right
She wants to know If you are alone on
r iur ship, and if you osn oome to us.”
I explained my situation, but said I
did not doubt but the two ships would
gradually drift together. “Is there no
one who oan lower your boat?” I asked.
| “No one but me,” answered Mary,
‘“and I don’t believe 1 am up to that sort
Of thing. Miss Nugent says I must not
itoooh it for fear I might fall overboard."
I “Do you mean to say,” I oried, “that
■there Is nobody but you two on board
that steamer?”
i “No other living soul!” said Mary,
“and I’ll tell you how It all happened.’
Then »be told their story. The
friends with whom Miss Nugent bad
traveled had determined to go to Egypt,
and as she did not wish to accompany
them, she had remained In Spain and
Algiers during the early spring; snd
eleven days before, she and Mary Phil-
llppa bad started tr° m Marseilles for
borne In this steamer La Fldelete. Five
days ago, the steamer bad collided in
the night with something, Mary did no-,
know what, and her front part was filled

j “Is It possible,*’ I yelled, “that, they
deserted you two women?"
1 Mary Phillips replied thst this wss
|not the ease. They had been implored
to go In the boats, but toe plgbt was
dark, the see was rough snd pltohy, and
She was sure the boat would upaet be-

I had a pistol ready. Then
the captain, two of the men jumped on
board again, threw their arms aronnd
him and carried him off, vowing that he
should not lose his life on account of a
pair of senseless Americana A boat
would be left, the men said, which they
might use If they chose, but of course
this wss more s piece of sentiment than
any thing else.
"And now you see,” cried Mary Phil
lips, “I was right and they were wrong.
This steamer has not sunk, snd 1 have
no manner of doubt that every soul who
went sway In those boats Is now at the
bottom of the sea.”
This wss Indeed s wonderful story,
snd the fact thst Berths Nugent was on
board s derelict vessel, and should >-ap-
pen to fall In with me on board of an
other was one of those events which
oorroborste that trite snd hackneyed
adage, thst truth la stronger than (lo
tion.
It was surprising how plainly I could
hear Mary Phillips soross the smooth,
still water. The ships did not now
seem to be moving at all, but soon they
would be nearer, snd then I oould talk
with Berths. And soon after (It must
be so) I would be with her!
I Inquired if they had food, snd what
ever else they needed, snd Mary
Phillips replied that with the exception
of the slanting position of the ship,
they were very comfortable; thst she
did the cooking; that Miss Nugent said
that they lived a great deal better than
when the ship’s cook cooked.
Mary also Informed me that she had
arranged a very nice couch for Mis*
Nugent on the sfterdeck; thst she wss
lying there now and felt better; thst
she wanted to know which I thought
the safer ship of the two; thst when
ever a little wind arose snd the vessels
were blown nearer each other, ah*
wished to get up snd talk to me herself
1 answered that I thought both the'
thlps were safe enough and that I
thould be delighted to talk with MUs
Nugent, but in my heart I oould not be
lieve that a vessel with her bow as
low as thst of the Fldelete oould be
safe In bad weather, to say nothing of
tbo possibility of st any time the water
bursting Into other compartments of
tho ship. The Sparhawk I believed to
be In much better condition. Despite
the fact thst she wns utterly helpless
as far as sailing qualities were con
cerned, the greater part of her masts
snd rigging being In a wrecked condi
tion, snd her rudder useless, she did
not appear to be damaged. I had no
reason to believe that she leaked, and
she floated well, although, as I have said,
she lay rather deep in the water.
If the thing were possible, I Intended
to get Berths on board the Sparhawk,
where there was hope thst we could all
remain safely until we wore rescued.
With this purpose In view, the moment
Mary Phillips disappeared, I went be
low and prepared the captain's csbln for
Bertha and her maid. I carried to tha
forward part of the vessel all the pipes,
bottles snd glasses, snd such other
things as were not suitable for a lady’s
apartment, and thoroughly aired tbs
cabin, making it as nest snd comforta
ble as circumstances permitted. The
very thought of offering hospitality to
Bertha was a joy.
I proposed to myself several plans to
be used m various contingencies. If the
two veesels approached near enough, I
would throw a line to La Fldelete, and
Mary Phillips would make It fast, I
knew. Then with a windlass I might
draw (he (WO vessels together. Then I
would spring on hoard the steamer, snd
when 1 had transferred Bertha and Mary
to the Sparhawk, would cut loose La
Fldelete to drift where she pleased.
It was possible thst I might convey
from one vessel to the other some ar
ticles of luxury or necessity, but on
this point I would not oome to any defln
Ite conclusion. I would consult Mary
Phillips on the subject.
Another plan was thst if we did not
approach very dose, I would endeavor
to throw a long, light line to the steam
er, sad Mary Phillips would attach It to
the boat which bang from the davits.
Into this she would put a pair of osn
snd lower it as well as she oould; then 1
would haul It to the Sparhawk, row over
to the Steamer, and transfer Berths and
Mary to my vessel. It wss possible thst
we should not hsve to be very close for
me to carry out this latter plan. Had I
been a seaman, I might have thought of
some other plan better than these. But
I was not a seaman.
I did not waste any time in the cabin,
although I was very desirous to make It
as pleasant as possible (or the reception
of Itertha, but when I returned to th*
deck I was astonished to find that the
steamer was farthsr sway than It had
been when I went below. There was s
slight breeze from the east, whioh had
nearly turned the Mpsrbawk about with
her bow to the wind, but *'** gently
carrying La Fldelete before it.
I seized the speaking trumpet, and
with all my power hailed the steamer,
and in return there oeme to me a single
sound, the sound of tbe vowel Q. 1
could see two handkerchiefs fluttering
upon the stern. In ten minutes these
were scarcely discernible.
Half-crazed, I stood and gazed, snd
g-zed, snd gased at the distant steamer.
The wind died away and I oould per
oe,ve that sh i was not becoming mors
’-Utant- Then l to bspe. An-
other wind might spring up which
would bring her back.
And In an hour or two the other wind
did spring ups I felt It In my face, end
siow'y the Bpsrbewk turned her bow
towards it end, enrapturing sight! the
steamer with my Berths on board began
to move slowly back to rat
The wind whioh wae now blowing
came from the eouthweet, and La
Fldelete, whioh before had lain to the
southward of dHTSparhawk, was pass
ing to the north of my vessel. Nesref
end newer ska oeme %nd my whole
soul wss angsged in th* hope thst she
might not pass too far north.
Ba| I soon saw that unless the wind
changed the steamer would probably
past within hailing distance.
Soon I oould see Mar* Phillips on
deck, speaking trumpet In band; and
1 thought we wet* near enough, i
eagerly Inquired after Bertha, and the
high voloe of Mary Phillip* oame soross
the water telling me thst Miss Nugent
wss not feeling at all welL This un
certain state of affairs wss making her
feel very nervous. "Can she oome on
deokr I cried. “Can she use a speak
ing trumpet? If I oould talk to her I
might encourage her. ”
“She needs it,” answered Mary, “hot
she oan not speak through the trumpet;
she tried It end It made her head ache.
She is here on deck snd I am going to
help her stand up as soon as we get
nearer. Perhaps she may be able to
speak to you.”
chapter in.
The two vessels were now near
enough for a high-pitched conversation
wit v out the assistance of trumpets,
and Mary Phillips assisted Berths to the
si^e of the steamer, where I could dls-
tl-otly see her. I shouted as hearty a
‘re-‘lug as ever wss sent across the
water, bidding her to keep up a good
heart, for help of aome kind must sure
ly oome to ns. She tried to answer me,
out her voice wss not strong enough.
Then she shook her head, by which I
understood thst she did not agree with
me In my hopeful predictions. I called
back to her thst In all this drifting
about the two vessels must certainly
oome together, and then, with the as
sistance of the ateamer's boat, we oould
certainly devise some way of getting out
of this annoying plight She smiled,
apparently at tha mildness of this ex
pression, snd again shook her head.
She now seemed tired, for her position
by the rell wse nottn easy one to main
tain, and her maid assisted % her to her
oonoh on the deck. Then stood up
Mary Phillips, speaking loud snd
promptly.
“She has a message for you,” she said,
“which she wanted to give to you her
self, but she can not do It. She thinks
-but I tell her It M of no use thioklxy
that way—that we are bound to be lost.
You may be saved because your ship
seems in a better condition than ours,
and sho does not believe that the two
veesels uill ever come together; so she
wants me to tell you thst if you get
home and she never does, that she
| wishes her share in tho Forty-second
street house to go to hor married sister,
and to bo used for the education of the
children. She doesn't want It divided
up in the ordinary way, because each
one will get so little and it will do no
good. Do you think that will be a
good will?"
“Don’t speak of wills!” I shouted;
“there Is no need of a will. She will
get home In safety and attend to her
own affairs."
“I think so too,” cried Mary Phillips;
"but I had to tell you wBat she said.
And now she wants to know if you have
any message to send to your parents,
for we might blow off aomewhere and bo
picked up, while this might not happen
to you. But I don’t believe In that sort
of thing any more than In the other.”
I shouted back my disbelief in tbe
necessity of any such messages, when
Mary Phillips seized her trumpet and
cried that she did not hear me.
Alasl the breeze was still blowing and
the steamer was moving away to the
north-east. Through my trumpet I re
peated my words and then Mary said
something which I oould not hear. Tho
wind was against her. I shouted to hot
to speak louder, and she must have
screamed with all her force, but I oould
only hear some words to the effect that
we were bound to come together agalu
and she waved her handkerchief choer-
ily.
Then the steamer moved farther and
farther away and speaking trumpets
were of no avail. I seized the glass and
watched La Fldelete until she was noth
ing but a black spot upon the sea.
The wind grew lighter and finally
died away and the black spot remained
upon the horizon. I did not take my
eyes from it until night drew on snd
blotted it out, 1 had not thought of ad
vising Mary Phillips to hang out a light
and she was probably aot sufficiently
accustomed to tbe ways of ships to think
of doing it herself, although there
could be no doubt that there were
lanterns suitable for the purpose on the
steamer. Had there been a light upon
thst vessel I should hsve watched Its
glimmer all night. As It was, I slept
upon the deck, waking frequently to
peer out into the darkness snd to lis
ten for a hall from a speaking trumpet.
In the morning there was the
blaek spot upon the horinon. I fancied
thst It was »little nearer than when I
last saw it; but In the course of the
forenoon It faded sway altogether.
Then despair selspd upon me and I
cared not whether I lived or died. ]
forgot to eat snd threw myself upon the
deck, where I remained for several
hours, upbraiding myself for my mon
strous, unpardonable folly In neglecting
the opportunities which were now lost.
Over and over again I told myself bit
terly that when I had been near enough
to the vessel which bore Bertha Nugent
to converse with Mary Phillips without
the aid of a speaking trumpet, I should
have tried to reach that vessel, no mat
ter what the danger or the difficulties.
I should have launched a raft—I should
have tried to swim—I should hsve done
something.
And more than that, even had It been
Impossible for me to reach the steamer,
I should hsve endeavored to reach
Berths’s hesrt- l should have told hei
that 1 loved her- Whether she were
)o«t, or I were lost or both of ua, she
should have known I loved her. She
might not have been able to answer me,
but the oould have heard me. For that
terrible mistake, that crime there was
no pardon. Now every chance was
gone. What reason was there to sup
pose that these two derelicts ever again
would drift together?
In the afternoon I rose languidly snd
looked about me. I saw *om«thl»g on
the horizon %n4 seizing the glass, I
-near It to be L* Fldelete. I sorl*
recognise the slant of the hull snd the
masts.
Now hope biased up again. If sho
were nearer she must come nearer still.
I recovered my ordinary state of mind
sufficiently to know thst I wss hungry,
snd thst I most cat to bo strong snd
ready for what might happen.
Upon one thing 1 was determined. If
Borths should ever again be brought
near enough to hear me, I would tell
her that I loved her. The object of life,
howeyOT stooh of It might be left mtk
should bp to qiako Bertha know that 1
loved her. If I swam toward the vessel
or floated Q» a plank, I must get near
enough t« tell her that I loved her.
But there was no wind and the
apparent sis* of the steamer did not
Increase. This was a region or season
of ealma or fitful winds During the

out snd slept heavily.
Tbe day wss bright when I was

breeze was blowing over me. I sprang
to my feet. There was quite a heavy

beneath me, and not far away, not more
than a half mile, perhaps, La Fldelete
was coming straight towards me. Light
ly laden, and with a great part of her
hull high out of water, the high wind
was driving her before it While my
vessel, her bow to the breeze, was mov
ing at a much slower rate.
As I looked at the rapldly-approaoh-
Ing steamer It seemed as if she certain
ly must run into the Sparhswk. But
for that I oared not All that I now
hoped for was that Bertha should oome
to me. Whether one vessel sank or th*
other or whether both went down to
gether, I should be with Bertha, I would
live or die with her. Mary Phillips
stood full in view on the stern of the on
coming steamer, a speaking trumpet in
her hand. I could now see that It was
not probable that tho two vessels would
collide. The steamer would pass me,
but probably very near. Before I oould
make up my mind what I should do In
this momontous emergency, Mary Phil
lips hailed me.
"When we get near enough," she
shouted, “throw me a rope. I’ll tie it
to the boat and cut It loose.”
Wildly I looked about me for a line
which I might throw. Cordage there
was in abundance, but it was broken
and fluttering or fastened to something,
or too heavy to handle. I remembered,
however, seeing a coil of small rope be
low, and. hastening down, I brought it
■sisino sav tromoot 1 IwUoA to tofia to g^ooto tod gently rolUiif se* Again 1
“I LOVE HER! I LOTE HER!" I SHOtTTED.
on deck, took the coil in my right hand
and stood ready to hurl it when the
proper moment should oome.
That moment came quickly. The
steamer was not a hundred feet from me
when I reached the dock. It passed me
on the port side.
“Bo ready!” cried Mary Phillips, the
instant she saw me. It was not now
necessary to use a trumpet.
“Throw as soon as I get opposite to
you!" she oried.
“Is Bertha well?” I shouted.
“Yes!” said Mary Phillips, “but whal
you've got to do is to throw that rope.
Give it a good heave. Throw now!”
The two vessels were not fifty feet
apart. With all my strength I hurled
the coil of rope. The steamer's stern
was above me and I aimed high. The
flying ooil went over the deck of La
Fldelete, but in my excitement I forgot
to grasp tightly the other end of It and
tho whole rope flew from me and disap
peared beyond the steamer. Stupefied
by this deplorable accident I staggered
.backward and a heave of the vessel
threw me against tho rail. Recovering
myself, I glared about for another rope,
but of course there was none.
Then oame a shout from Mary Phil
lips. But she had already passed me,
and as I was to the windward of her I
did not catch her words. As I remem
bered her appearance she seemed to be
tearing her hair. In a flash I thought
of my resolution. Rushing to the rail,
I pnfc-the trumpet to my mouth. The
wind would carry my words to her if it
would not bring hers to me.
“Tell Bertha to oome on deck!" I
shouted. Mary Phillips looked at me,
but did not move. I wished her to rush
below and bring up Berth*. Not an In
stant was to be lost. But she did not
move.
“Tell her l love her!” I yelled through
the trumpet “Tell her that I love her
now and shall love her forever. Tell
her I love her no mattor what hap-
r jns. Tell her I love her, I love her,
love her!” And this I continued to
scream until It was plain I wss no
longer heard. Then I threw down my
useless trumpet and seized the glass.
Madly I scanned the steamer- No sign
of Berths was to be seen. Mary Phil
lips wss there, and now she waved her
handkerchief. At all events she for
gave me. At such a terrible moment
what canid one do but forgive?
I watched, and watched, and watched,
but no figure but tbat of Mary PhlUipa
appeared upon tbo steamer, and at last
I oould not even distinguish that. Now
I became fllled with desperate fnry. I
determined to sail after Bertha and
overtake her. A great sail wss flapping
from one of my masts and I would put
my ship about and the strong wind
should carry me to Bertha
•I knew nothing of sailing, but even If
I had known all my efforts would have
been useless. I rushed to tbe wheel
and tried to move It. pulling It this way
and that, but the rudder was broken or
jammed, I know not What had happened

boom of the sail, I pulled, I jerked, I
