All writers of sea stories devote chap- l ters to what is called the sentiment l of the sea, and all readers of the same feel their pulses thrill as they read of - I eroic rescues. This sentiment may have been observable 50 years ago, and now and then you read of a rescue worthy of heroes, but as amatter of fact shipowners and sea captains are anything but sentimental in these days '0! money making. Of ten hips who` sight a signal of distress at sea eight will sneak past it it possible, and the other two will be more interested in the salvage question than in the saving of life. Shippers Want their goods ship- ped as soon as possible. Shipowners__ overload and underman their vessels and yet want them to make quick voy- ages. Sea captains must "crack on and do their best, and so it comes about that aid is seldom extended when there is reasonable excuse for dodging it. l\t`\A LL- L...'.. `"4`AAUu|A m`NAIiRb35V IH .l.`uuuUuuI.uu mxuuuu Lu: u-.....,... ... In the year 1880 the brig Welcome left the port of Liverpool for the West 1 Indies, having on board 180 me11..3wom- an and children, who were going to set- tle on one of the islands. She had a crew of 15 men, a snpercargo and two cabin passengers, thus bringing the to- tal up to almost 200. Fine weather ac- companied the craft until she had ac- complished two thirds of the voyage. Then a gale sprang up which dismasted ` her and sent her drifting back over her wake. The gale had scarcely abated when a fire broke out, and though it was extinguished after a hard ght a great quantity of provisions was con- sumed and much of the fresh water was sacriced. Not a spar was left aboard for jury masts, and as the rudder had been carried away and there was four feet of water in the hold the people realized that the wreck could not be abandoned too soon. ,1 L`. - _l_:..

We were sailing un- der the Holland ag, commanded by 3 Holland captain and mate, and I believe the craft was of that nationality. She was bound from Demerara to New York. loaded mostly with sugar, I be- lieve, and had been detained in Deme- rate. a couple of weeks to ship a crew. It so happened that an American man- of-war to which I belonged as an en- listed man put into that port for some slight repairs, and 12 of us deserted in a body to go aboard of the Star. We were all `sailor. It does not excuse our action to say that the Hollander brought this desertion about by the promise of high wages. He wanted a crew and did not care how the men came to him. We had a close shave from being captured by our captain, but got to sea all right, and as the weather was good and the wind favorable the Hollander "cracked on to make up for lost time. One morning just after sunrise we found the drifting brig square in our path and only two or three miles away. After'a brief look at her through the glass captain and mate fell to cursing at their ill luck- As amatter of fact we had neither water not provisions to 1 LI,` _I_:_ ___..

The report of the mate when he returned was to the effect that the people were on quarter allowance, with much sickness among the women and children, and that they desired to aban- don the wreck and be taken aboard of the ship. We had pare spars aboard, I and the Hollander offered to sell three or four sticks for about three times their value, the payment to be made in gold on delivery. The captain of the brig `declined buying, as he was satised that the shattered hulk could neverbe worked into port, even if fully pro- visioned. The Hollander then agreed to sell one cask of water and about 80 )cunds of bread, but just as we were ready to transfer the goods a squall. came up, and that gave him an excuse for sailing away. His rm_ intention `was to abandon the wreck to her fate. _ and as soon as we realized it the ten of` us went aft in a body and assured him that unless he bore up and furnished relief we should refuse duty and take`. the consequences.
