AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA By CORDON ARTHERTON iQbr Bhorl ilory Pub. Co.) N JUNE, 1802, the t'tilted States I attanisblp Visitor iirnk oil a reef I off tin southern coast of Florida " with ill on board. Half of the paasangerl Wirt saved by efforts dl rectod from land, tod the bodlet of bait tb remainder were found, Hut one-fourth of the peoplt of tin Visitor Imjt, undiscovered and unburted.

Among ttit-M divert wtt tot Joel Vaughton, a hardy, worn veteran wllb tctrt of tlit ClvU wir on bit bod and tlit slgnt of toll and hardship on hit rough, honest fact. Vaughton wat forty-flve posaibly a bit over, lit did not know, but lit remembered enlisting In IB at sixteen eart of age. lit bad not brilliantly distinguished himself In Uie war at o many luckier onet bad, but bt bad fought hard and well. No opportuni ties bad been given lilm of leading a desperate charge or of capturing an tnamy't Beg. lie had been twice wounded, at Hull Run and at Oettyt burg. The aurgeona bad decided tbt laat time that lit wat to die, and they had given him up. Hut be had deter mined to live, and live he did. lit waa discharged from the hospital Juat In tliot to join Bherman In hla march to tbt tea. After the war ht drifted round doing nothing, and yet doing everything. There wat no occupation that bt did not try bit band at, and there wat Dona that bt tried longer than a week. I'lnally ba drifted eouth, and, In 'H2 atarted farming on small call, Tblt evidently proved the as caption to the yule, and he stuck to It (or seven years, making a modest In comt thereby. Dot It was too mo no tonoui for him. lit tacked tbt ex cltement which hitherto bad never failed lilm., and In '89 ht dlacovtred tbt work tliat suited him. tie became a diver. He waa well fitted for It pbyalcally, with hla sound heart snd his good lungs, snd ha madt a success of It alraoit Immediately. Three dnyt after tbt Visitor bad aunk, Joel Vaughton and ont of hla comrades wort fitted into their suits nd lowered down to the wreck. Vaughton bad long ago got over the tinging in bis tars and the alckneaa that la Oral Incurred by divers, and he waa steady as s rock when bt waa low ered cautiously on his ropt. linking dowa bt saw tht deck of tlit Visitor looming op beneath Mm. Already It waa covered with weeds and green with tllrat. As his feet touched the boards bt gave tht algnal to atop lowering, and. slowly and cautiously, madt bla way to tht forward hatchway, lifting cart to lay bit ropt and aupply-plpe in auch fashion that they might not become entangled In the stray wreck age, of which then was great quan tity. Ills Inspection of tht forwsrd part . of tbt ship showed btm that It waa In &o condition to be raised. Tht bow had been shattered by the contact with tht reef, and the grinding bad worn way tht entire planklnga of tht for , ward decks. lit returned slowly to tht item of tht vessel and climbed ovar tht remains of tht rail down on It tht aandy bottom. Then ha walked long tht stern of tht ship, keeping sharp lookout for any damage done U that direction. ' As he did so ht beheld sight that, cool veteran ss be whs, earned him to utter cry and to ' step quickly backwards. Blaring at him through tht porthole, his fact livid and sunken, bis tyet bloodshot, but gleaming with excitement, bis hstr matted over his forehead and tils lips moving In wbst most have been outcries or entreaties, was t living, breathing man. Vaugh ton, at first, thought thst bit sense! bad left him, and ha turned awsy to see If tht apparition would have gone when bt Beit looked around. Rut no tht pale, excited face was ittU there, nd tills time tht hand wss beckoning wildly to lilm and tht eyes supplement ing tht movements. Then, ss soon as bt realised that ht had attracted Vaughton'a attention, tht man disap peared, only to show himself sgaln (wlth sheet of paper covered with writing. This bt held up against the porthole, motioning Vauglitnn to ap-' proach and read It. It ran as follows: ! HELP III When the ship tank I want down I With It, locked up U Ihla water tight oompartment. Have had , hardly anything to eat, and the air le living out I ounnot laat . aa hour more. If you opaa the door, howavar, I shall ba daatroyad br the water which will ruih In. , FOR PITIH IAKR, IEU US SOME WAT I I I All ITARVINO FOB, FOOD ( j AND AIR I , Tbt words wtrt written In fairly legible hand and Vaughton bad no troublt In making them out. ' But tht question was, what to do. How should bt save this man! There seemed to bt no menni of doing it, unless tbt entire hip wtrt raised, and this, at ht had (ten by his Inspection, was Impossible. Then, ttiddtnly, another plan flashed through bis brain plan that wss, really, tbt first thing that should bava occurred to lilm. Why couldn't tht man trust to his chances of reaching tht surface before his breath gave outf Ba, himself, could Inks down ropt and tit It around bis body ; while tht 'tneH'itovi ffsuTsd 'h'tid lip' by R ss quickly as they could. Vaughton motioned to tht man, who bad been gating anxiously, at btm, and, nooning to enure iiiin of nil assist' net, gavt tht signal to bt hauled up. At soon as bt was store tht turfact and bad been stripped of his helmet, ht told tht men, ss briefly snd as quickly as bt could, tht strsngs sight that bt bsd seen. A long ropt wss secured and Vaughton wrote out bis plan on pltct of cardboard, so thst tht man might understand exactly what was to bt dont. Then ht dived down second time, taking with him the extra ropt. Ht found tbt man occupying tlit position bt had left him In, only staring up wards, watching for ths help that bt kntw was to come from above. Vaugh too held tht sheet of cardboard close up to tht porthole, and, as tht man within read, bit face lightened op In comprehension. Then, upon signal from Vaughton, the prisoner threw open tht door of tht compartment, and, quick as a thought, wss bound sround tht wolit with tht ropt. The sign was given to tht walling men above, and bt waa hauled up as faat at human alnews could do It, Tbt stranger reached tht aurfact In an unconscious state, but was soon revived, snd, after having eaten all tht aandwlchea that were to'bt pro cured, ht ahowed great willingness to tell bis remarkable atory. "I was sleeping," be said, "at tht time tht ship foundered, and If was by a miracle that the door of tlit water tight compartment was closed, else I would not bt here to tell the tale. Von may wonder at tht fact that I slept so soundly that tht hurry and confusion on tht decks did not awaken me. I wilt answer that simply by tell Ing yon that I regularly roll off my bed at night and never wake up. When I did wake up, however. Imagine my astonishment, upon glancing out of my porthole, to find that I wat entirely surrounded by wster wster to left of me. In front of me, above me, ana to light of me. At first, ss you msy sur mise, I could not realise what bsd hap pened. Then, gradually, It dawned on mt that I waa at tht bothom of tht sea, Tblt Ides wss Immediately strengthened by tbt sight of couple of Itty flali, awlmmlog up and down In frost of my porthole. I believe tint no ont baa, hitherto, equalled my ad venture. No human being that I have ever beard of bla lived for two days. rlsd In bis ordinary costume, at tht bottom of tbt ocean, except, of course, in submarine boat Well, to con tinue: About jhe second dsy I real Ized thst my supply of sir wss giving out tht compartment wss not eery large and I became oppreaaed In breathing. It was lucky that I was tht only ont down there to use up tht sir. Finally, it occurred to me ttat divers might be sent down to ths ship, snd I prepared the algn that I ahowed at the porthole. If It had not been for your timely asslstsnce, I should havt been t dead man by this time.' Invtntioni That Cam From Women'$ Brairu Who invented the cotton gin?
