Temperance Orator-How strange that a man wil put an snemy into his stomach to Bieniaway his bralos! Voice in Audience-Great Scott ! Is that where you carry your brains ?

You see, he had a good allde of the ship himself, and I guess the old giş wasn't insured very high. | "Well,' says he, when we'd taken a look at things, and saw that the seams was beginnin' to smoke a little, 'here's a go and no mistake Alati, Mr. Weeden ?' And I says, 'Capo. It is; and a blanked bad one, too,' 'I didn't want to load the blank stuff,' says he, gattlog mad all at once, 'cause I knowed its dirty tricks and ways; but it's aboard now and barnlò,', and now wot's to be done? For,' says he slow and solemn-like, "this bere ship is booked for the bottom, and sfore many days. Call the mate, Mr. that too, Weeden, and then all hands.'

When the men were all amidships, the old man gives out what I'd found, and orders the pumps to be rigged, and a couple of lines of pipe run down through the deck where it was hottest, which was well 'for'ad, as I said before. All that night and the next we pomped and pumped water Info her, and then pumped and pamped It out! again, but it didn't seem to do any good, as the smoke came out thicker and thicker each boar, till it was as plain as the mains we couldn't drown the blaze. In the first dog-watch we give over tryin,' and the old man says:

Me lads, this here's a bad job, and it looks as though the Racer was runnin'■ metty straight course for Davy Jones's; the port watch'll start In and get the boats ready for leaving the ship, and the starboard watch'll begin bringin' out some stores.

"All that night we was hard at it, and by mornin' had the boats well fixed, and ready to let fall at a moment's notice. About three bells that evenin' we were takin' ourtea, when a fellow la my watch that we called 'Scopey, cause bla eyes were regular telescopes for spyin' things, slags lee ahead, two pints on the port bow l' And out, sure enough, when the ship rose up again there was a little twinklin' spot right on the sky lloc, a-shinin' like a diamond.

"The old man pops below, and pops up agais with his glass, and takes a good long look at the stranger, towards the end of which look I sees a pleased-like expression come over his face. Let her go off'a p'lat,' says he to the man st the wheel, and keep her nor by west, s quarter west.'

Ay, ay, air says the man, and we began runnin' freer and straight for the ices. Soon after that it came on dark, and we took in con- siderable sail, so as to stack up our speed, and at sun-up next moralo' made the ice about six miles ahead, reg'lar old glant of a berg, sparklin' in the sun like a million tons of mother of-pearl. There was an easy breeze blowin', just where we wanted it, and makin' the ship si easy to handle as x pilot boat.

Run for it,' says the old man to Mr. Corker, the maie, and let's see what it looks like close

Preity soon we was within half a mile of it, and certainly it was grand, beln, I should judge, about a mile long by nearly as much wide, and heavin' up in some places cleven or twelve bun dred feet,

"The old man soon sees a place where landin' waseasy, a regular ice-wharf extendin' back about two hundred yards, and as level as the deck of a ship layin at anchor; and we pulls alongside of 1', maklu' fast to a spike drove into the ice.

When we got back to the Racer, and was aboard again, he says, as cheerful as you please, that the old girl was smookin' away for ad like a blank volcaner, 'Take in the r'yals and t'gail'nts, Mr. Corker, and s'pose you let go the upper top sall halyards, too. Work her up close to the berg under the lower topals, and back the main yard just off that flat pint where I made a landin'.
