w ESSa w&f.SsFoo lKjlV U iv m for The Term ofjlis Natural Life By MARCUS CLARKB m citAPTnu v. In the prison of tho 'twoon-deck , reigned n darkness pregnant with mur- i-.fV nium. aiio scmrr ni uio entrance iu tho natcnway wni supposed to 'prevent rtho prisoners from making a noise," but lie put a very liberal Interpretation upon tho clause, and no long tho tho prison ers refrained from shouting, yelling and fighting ho did not disturb them. To one coming In from tho upper nlr, tho place would have seemed In pitchy darknosj but tho convict eye, accus JfBmed to the sinister twilight, vrai en abled to discern surrounding object with tolerable distinctness. Tho prison yras about fifty feet long and fifty feet wide, and ran tho full height of the 'tweon-decks, Tho barrlcado was loop holed here and there, and tho planks were In some places wldo enough to ad mit a musket barrel. On tho aft stde, next tho soldiers' berths, was n trap door, llko tho stoko-holo of a furnace. , Xt first sight this appeared to bo con trived for tho humane purpose of ven tilation, but a second dance dispelled tuts weak conclusion. The opening was t just largo enough to admit tho muulc of a small howitzer, secured on the deck v below. In case of a mutiny, tho sol diers could sweep the prison from end "' to end with grnpeshot. Such fresh air as there was, filtered through the loop- holes, and came. In somewhat larger 5i, Quantity, through a wind-sail passed In- to tho prison from the hatchway. Hut Mho wind-sail being necessarily at one 'r end only of the place, tho air It brought was pretty well absorbed by the twenty or thlrtr lucky fellows near It, and the , other hundred and fifty did not come so well on -i.no scume were open, uui as the row of bunks had been built ilnst them, the air they brought was i neciillar nronertr of such men as r occupied the berths Into which they pen-rti-ntisl Then berth wero twenty right In nuinlwr, each containing six men. They ran la a double tier round three sides of the prison, twenty at each side, and eight afllxcd to that portion of the forward barricade opposite the door. Kach berth was presumed to be fire feet six Inches square, but the ne cessities of stowage had deprived them of six Inches, and even under that prca- rgi sure iwnrs iuku hito i-uujiciicu iu tici b .Von, deck. . -When Frcre had come down, an hour ' before, the prisoners were all snugly febftween their blankets.

The conversa tion ran upon the sudden departure of .the four. What could tbey want with them at that hour? ' "I tell you there's something up on - deck," say one to the grou pnearest bltn.

Take Iia both aftW the iivfvUnL" ho said; "and, Jenkins, If thcro aro nny more men taken sick, let them pass tho word for mo at once. I shall he on deck." Tho guards stared In each other's faces with some alarm, but snld noth ing, thinking mora of the burning ship, which now flamed furiously across the placid water, than of rerll nearer homej but as I'Ino went up the hatchway ho met Illunt. "WVvo got tho fever aboard! Head llko a fire-ball, and tonguo llko a strip of leather. Don't I know It?" and Tine grinned, mournfully. "I'vo got him moved Into tho hospital. Hospital! As dark as a wolf's mouth. I've seen dog kennels I liked better." Blunt nodded toward the Tolumo of lurid smoko that rolled up out of tho glow. "Suppose there Is a shipload there? I can't refuse to tako 'em In." "So," says I'lne. gloomily. "I sup poso you can't. If they come, I must stow 'em somewhere. We'll have to run for tho Cape, with the first breexe, If they do como; that is nil I can seo for It." And ho turned awny to watch the burning vessel. In tho mcauuhllo the two boats mada straight for tho red column that uprose like a gigantic torch orcr tho silent sea. Tho pull was a long and a weary one. Once fairly away from tho protecting sides of tho vessel that had homo them thus far on their dismal journey, the adventurers seemed to have come Into a new atmosphere. Tho Immensity of tho ocean over which they slowly moved revealed Itself for the first time. Tho great sky uproso from this silent sea without a cloud. The stars hung low In Its expanse, burning In a violet mist of lower ether. The heavens were emptied of sound, and each dtp of the oars was re-echoed In space by a suc cess'on of subtle harmonies. As the blades struck the dark water, It flashed fire, and the tracks of the boats resem bled two sea snakes writhing with silent undulations through a take of quicksil ver. At last the foremost boat came to a sudden pause. Itest gave a cheery shout and passed her. steering straight Into the broad track of crimson that al ready reeked on the sea ahead. "What Is It?" he cried. Itut he heard only a smothered growl from Krere. It was, Iu fact, nothing of consequence only a prisoner "giving In." "What's the matter with your' says Frere. "Oh, you. Is It? Dawes! Of course, Dawes. I never expected any thing better from such a skulking hound. Come, this sort of nonsense won't do with me. It Isn't as nice as lolloping about the hatchways, I dar y. but you'll have to go on, my fine fellow." "He seems sick, sir," said a compas sionate bow. "Sick! Not he. 8hammlng. Come, give way, now! Put your backs Into It!" And the convict having picked up his oar, the boat shot forward again. Hut, for all Mr. Frere's nrglng, he could not recover the way he bad lost, and Hest was the first to run In under the black cloud that hung over the crimsoned water. "Keep wide," ho said. "If there aro many fellows yet aboard, they'll swamp ui; and I think there must be, as wo haven't met the boats," and then raising his voice, as tho exhausted crow lay on their oars, he balled tho burning ship. Rha Trim huceclumsllr built rraael. I with great breadtn or beam, and a lofty deck. Strangely enough, though tbey I bad so lately seen tho fire, sho was al ready a wreck, and appeared to be com pletely deserted. The chief hold of the fire was amidships, and tho lower deck was one njais of flame. The fire roared like a cataract, and lingo volumes of flame-flecked smoko poured up out of he bold, and rolled away In a low-lying ilack cloud over the sea. I As Frere's loat pulled slowly round er stern, he hailed the deck again and 'gain. Still there was no answer; and bough the flood of light that dyed the mter" blood-red struck out every rope and spar distinct and clear, his straining eyes could see no living soul aboard. As they came nearer, they could distinguish the gilded loiters of her name. "What Is It, men?" cried Frere, his voice almost drowned amidst the roar of the flames. "Can you see?" Itufus Dawes, Impelled, It would seem, by some strong Impulse of curiosity, stood erect, and shaded his eyes with his hand. "The Hydaspcs!" Frero gasped. The nydaspes! The ship In which his cousin Klchard Devlne had sailed! The ship for which those In England might now look In vain! The Hydaspes, which Something he bad heard during the speculations as to this missing cousin flashed across him. "Hack water, men! Hound with her! Pull for your lives. The Hydaspes! I know her. She Is bound for Calcutta, and she has five tons of powder aboard!" There was no need for more words. The single sentenro explained tho whole mystery of her desertion. The crew had taken to the boats on the first alarm, and had left their death-fraught vessel to her fate. They were miles off by this time. The boats toro through the water. Eager as tho men had been to come, they were more eager to depart. For ten minutes or more not a word was spoken. With straining arms nud laboring chests, tho rowkers tugged at the o-irs, their eyes fixed on tho lurid mass they were leaving. Frero nnd Host, with their faces turned back to tho terror they Aw! from, urged tho men to greater effort. Already tho flames had lipped the ling: already the outlines of tho stern-carvings were blurred by tho lire. Another momont and' all would bo over. Ah! It had come nt last! A dull rumbling sound; tho burning ship parted asunder; a pillar of fire flecked with black masses that ware beams and planks, rose up out nt the ocean; tliero was a terrific crash, as though spa and sky ivcro coming togeth er; nnd then a mighty mountain of water rose, advanced, caught, nnd passed them, and thny were alone- deafened, stun ned and breathless, Iu audiltiu horror of thickest djrknoss. and a sllencn like that of tho tomb.- The splauhlng of the falling fragments nwoko them from their Rtuptr, nud then tho htuo light of tho Malubar struck out n bright, pathway ( across tho sen, nud they knew that they wero safe. On board tho Mnlabar two men paced thoilcek, waiting for tho dawn. It came nt last. Tho sky lightened, tho mist melted away, and thou a otig. low. fur off streak of palo yellow light Honied on tho eastern horlson. Hy nud by tho water sparkled, nnd tho sen changed color, turning from black to. yellow, nnd from yollow to lucid green. Tho man at tho mainmast hailed tho deck. Tho bonis wero Iu sight, nud ns they enino toward tho shin, tho bright wnler flash lug from tho laboring onrs, n crowd of spectators hanging uvcr tho bulwarks choered and waved their hats. "Not a soul!" cried Hlunt. "No one hut themaolvos. Well, I'm glad they're sate anywny," Tho boats drew alongside, nnd In a few seconds Frero was upon deck. "No use," cried Frere, shivering. "Wo only just had tliuo to get away. The nearest thing In tho world, sir. They must havo taken to the boats." "Then thsy can't bo far off," cried Hlunt, s cejilng the horlson with his glass. "They must have pulled all tho way, for tliero hasn't been enough wind to till a hollow tooth with." "Perhaps they pulled In the wrong di rection," snld Frere. "They had a good four hours' start of us, you know." Then Hest came up nud told tho story to a crowd of eager listeners. Tho sail ors having hoisted nnd secured the boats wero hurried off to the forecastle, nud tho four convicts were taken In charge nnd locked below again. "You had better go and turn In, Frere," said Pine, grullly. "It's no use whistling for a wind hero all day." Pino took n couple of turns up nnd down tho deck, nnd then, catching Hlunt s eye, stopped In front of Vlckcrs. "ou may think It n hard thing to say. Captain Vlckers, but It's Just ns well If we don t find thco Poor fellows, We havo quite enough on our hands as It Is. The fever has broken out." Vlckers raised his brows. He had no experience of such things; and though the Intelligence was startling, the crowd ed condition of the prison rendered It easy to bo understood, and he appre hended no danger to himself. "It is only In the prison, as yet," says Pine, with a grim emphasis on the word; "but there Is no saying how long It may stop there. I have got three men down as It Is." "Well, sir, all authority In the. matter Is In your hands. Any suggestions you make I will, of course, do my best to carry out." "Thank ye. I must have more room In thO hospital, to begin with. The sol- Hers must llo a little closer. And you bad better keep your wire ami the little girt as much on deck as possible." Vlckers turned palo at the mention of his child. "Do you think there Is sny danger?" "Thcro Is, of course, danger to all of us; but with csre we may escape It. There's that maid, too. Tell her to keep to herself n llttla more. Hhe has a trick of roaming about the ship I don't like. Infection Is easily spread, nnd children always sicken sooner than grown-up peoplo." tllunt, hitherto silently listening, pnt In a won! for the defense of the absent woman. "She Is right enough, Pine." said he. "What's the matter with her?" "Yes. she's all right. I'vo no doubt. She's less likely to take It than any of us. You can see her vitality In her face as many lives as a cat. Hut she'd bring Infection quicker than anybody." "I'll I'll go at once," cried poor Vlck ers, turning round. (To b continued.)
