Amos Green looked about him with
startled eyes. "I cannot understand
It," said he. "I could have sworn by
the eternal, listen to that!"
Tho clear call of a military bugle
rang out In the morning nlr. With n
cry of amazement they all three craned
forward and peered over the edgo.
A largo ship was lying under tho
very shadow of tho iceberg. They
looked straight down upon her snow
wnite decks, fringed with shining brass
cannon nnd dotted with seamen. A
little clump of soldiers stood upon tho
poop, going through tho mnnunl ex
ercise, nnd It wns from them that tho
call hnd come which had sounded so
unexpectedly in tho cars of the cast
aways. Standing back from tho edgo,
they had not only looked over the top
masts of this welcome neighbor, but
they had themselves been Invlslblo
from her decks. Now the discovery
wns mutual, as was shown by a cho
rus of shouts and cries from beneath
them.
Rut the threo did not wait nn in
stant. Sliding nnd scrambling down
tho slippery incline, they rushed, shout
ing, through tho crack and Into tho
cave, whero their comrndes had just
been startled by tho bugle call while
In the middle of their cheerless break
fast. A few hurried words and tho
leaky longboat had been launched,
their few possessions hod been bun
dled In and they wore afloat onco more.
Pulling round a promontory of tho berg,
they found themselves under tho stern
of a line corvet, tho sides of which
weie lined with friendly faces, while
from the peak there drooped a hugo
white banner mottled over with tho
golden lilies of Franco. In a very
few minutes their boat had been haul
ed up. and they found themselves on
board of the St. Chrlstophe, mnn-of-wnr,
conveying Marquis do Denon
vllle, the governor general of Canada,
to take over his new duties.

deeper tonight than when the Speed
well sank, Lut "not so deep as In the
Governor Wlutbrop. When I came up
I swam to tho berg, found this nook
and crawled In. Glad I was to see you,
for I feared that you had foundered."
"We put back to pick you up, and
wo passed you In the darkness. And
what should we do now?"
"Rig up that boat sail and make
quarters for the gal, then got our sup
per nnd such rest ns wo can, for there
is nothing to be done tonight."
In the morning Amos Green wns
aroused by a hand upon ills shoulder
aud, springing to his feet, found Do
Catinat standing beside him. The lat
tcr's face was grave, aud his friend
read danger in his eyes.
"What Is It, then?"
"Tho berg. It Is coming to pieces. I
have been watching it. You seo that
crack which extends backward from
the end of our grotto? Two hours ago
I could scarce put my hand Into It.
Now I can slip through It with case."
Amos Green walked to the end of the
funnel shaped recess and found, as his
friend had said, that n green sinuous
crack extended away backward Into
tho Iceberg, caused cither by tho toss
ing of tho waves or by the terrific Im
pact of their vessel. Ho roused Captain
Ephralm and pointed out tho danger to
him.
"Well, if sho springs a leak we nro
gone," said he. "She's been thawing
pretty fast as it Is."
They could seo now that tho wholo
hugo mass was brittle and honey
combed and rotten.
"Hello!" cried Amos Green. "What's
that? I could have sworn that I heard
a voice."
"Impossible. Wo aro all here."
"It must havo been my fancy, then."
Captain Ephralm walked to tho sea
ward face of tho cave and swept tho
ocean with his eyes. "Wo should Ho
in tho track of some ships," said he.
"There's tho codders and tho herrlug
busses. Wo'ro overfnr south for them,
I reckon. But wo can't bo moro'n 200
mllo from Port Royal, In Acadia, and
wo'ro lu tho lino of tho St. Lawrenco
trade. What Is it, Amos?"
Tho young hunter was standing with
his enr slanting, his head bent forward,
and his oyes glancing sldowlso, llko a
man who listens Intently. Ho was
about to answer when Do Catluat gavo
a cry and pointed to tho back of tho
cavo.
"Look at tho crack now!"
It had widened by a foot Blnco tlioy
had noticed It last until It wns now uo
longer a crack. It was a pass.
"Lot us go through," suld tho captain.
Ho Jed tho way. and tho other two
followed him. 1: i very dark as

CHAPTER XIX.
SINGULAR colony It was of
which the shipwrecked party
found themselves now to bo
members. Tho St Chrlstopho
had left Rochclle threo weeks before
with four small consorts conveying 500
soldiers to help the straggling colony
on tho St. Lawrence. The squadron
had bocomo separated, however, and
tho governor was pursuing his way
alone in the hope of picking up the
others in the river. Aboard he had a
company of tho regiment of Quercy,
the stnff of his own household, St. Val
uer, the new bishop of Cnnnda, with
several of his attendants; three Recol
let frlnrs, five Jesuits bound for the
fatal Iroquois mission, half n dozen
ladies on the way to Join their hus
bands, two TJrsullno nuns nnd ten or
twelve gallants whom love of adven
ture and tho hope of bettering their
fortunes had drawn across tho seas.
Thero wns peace between England
aud France at present, though feeling
ran high between Canada and New
York, tho French believing, and with
some Justice, that tho English colo
nists were whooping on tho demons
who attacked them. Ephralm and his
men were therefore received hospita
bly on board, though the ship was so"
crowded that thoy had to sleep wher
ever they could find cover and space
for their bodies. The Catlnats, too,
hod been treated In an even more
kindly fashion, tho weak old man nnd
tho beauty of his daughter arousing
tho Interest of tho governor himself.
De Catinat had during tho voyage ex
changed his uniform for a plain som
ber suit, so that, except for his mili
tary bearing, thco was nothing to
show that ho was a fugitive from tho
army. Old Catinat was now so weak
that ho was past tho answering of
questions, his daughter was forever at
his side, and the soldier wns diploma
tist enough, after a training at Ver
sailles, to say much without saying
anything, and ,"io their secret wns still
preserved.
On the day after tho rcscuo they
sighted Capo Bfeton In the south, and
soon, runnlcg swiftly before nn east
erly wind, saw. tho loom of tho east
end of ALtlcostl. Thou they sailed
up tho mighty rjver, though from mld
chnnnel tho banks on either sido wero
hardly to be seen. As tho shores nar
rowed in they saw the wild gorge of
tho Sagucnny river upon tho right,
with tho smoke from tho littlo fishing
nnd trading station of Tndousac
streaming up nbovo the plno trees.
Thence tho ship tacked on up tho river
past Mai Bale. Amos Green, leaning
on the bulwarks, stared with longing
eyes at tho vast expanses of virgin
woodland, hardly traversed save by nn
occasional wandering savago or hardy
coureur do bols. Then tho bold out
Huo of Capo Tourineijte loomed up In
front of them, thoy passed tho rich,
placid meadows of Laval's slegneury
of Beaupre, and, skirting tho settle
ments of tho Island of Orleans, they
saw tho broad pool stretched out In
front of them tho falls of Montmo
rcncl, tho high palisades of Point Levi,
the cluster of vessels, aud upon tho
right that wonderful rock, with Its dia
dem of towers, and Us township hud
dled round Its base, tho ccutcr nnd
stronghold of French powor iu Amer
ica. Tho old merchant had pined nway
since ho had left French soil, llko a
plant which has been plucked from Its
roots. Tho shock of tho shipwreck nnd
the night spent In their bleak refugo
upon th Iceberg had been too much for
his years and strougtu.
Since they had becu picked up ho had
lain ninld tho scurvy stricken soldiers,
with hardly a sign of life savo for his
thlu breathing nnd tho twitching of
hlu scraggy throat Now, however, ho
