I t wns long after dark before the ex- pected culprits returned with the minister. Th e officers were growing impatient, aud fearful that their intended captives had been warned of the threatened danger. Bu i such was not the case. Tliey came in merrily, a little the worse for wine, or something of the stime s})iritual nature, and quite unsuspicious of what awaited them. There was, as the officers anticiimtcd, a desperate struggle, i n which the so-called minister made his escax^e by ignomi aigbL km EpiAOile at Wbit« Salpba r Spring*. \I want t o warn yon about on e thinR. \ lard Mr. Farqubftr; \don' t g o BtroUing aff befor e stinaet i n the Lovers ' Walk , t t is the most dangerous place .

Suddenly 1 was startled by the voice of the lookDut sbout- • ig, -breaker s ahead:\ I looked to leeward. There, hardly twc cables length distant, they were just dis- cemible through tbe dim liKbt—a whirliHJol if white, an^ry foam . A tremendous cur- rent combined with tbe -wiml t o drive us toward them with friyhtful velocity. JIatteras, heaven help us!\ cried the Captain at my side. Ho w often ha d I hean l that name as a lame of terror; but with only a vague idea tf it. after all; for I had never exi>ected to be brought face t o face with it and tU atb. But now I was iu fh e very presence of tbe bread monster whose rsivenous maw had ired thousands, whose bowels were full of countless victims. I could al- most throw a biscuit into the breakers. In (ess than five minutes I would be iu theit midst. These reflections rushed across me swift ; lightning during the pause which the Captain made to take breath. The u his stentor voice shouted, \Down with the helm! Haul iu the sheets! Ibinbr : larder:\ ~ Th e wheel whirled around; tbe buyo sail •ame heavilv in; tmd theu a niom-nt of iwful suspense followed. Would the schooner lie any closer? She tjiiver^. and seemed t o clrift boldly toward the surf. gTa8i>ed a rope instinctively. A moau rose from the little crew. Cut loose a reef!\ thundered tbe Cap- tain. **Kcver mind untying, but out wiih your knives. Stand by, suzue of von, to haul and belay.\ Th e expedient was little short of m'd- jKs. But it was our only hoi>e. I t seemetl I if all was over. As the sheet flew out. it cave a jerk that nearly heeled us ou i.ur beam.end^; then, catchinc the full fmv of the gale, i t dragged ns wildly along; | lauK- ig us headlong through the giant billows, while the water foamed around,'rolling in cataracts over the deck, gurgling and liiss- inK a s it swept astern. -Kee p her t o it,\ shouted t»ie Cnptaiu. holding in the weaiber-nittlins; as be watched tbe straining mast above.
