In a moment the whole truth flashed before my eyes, as I caught sight of breakers, mast high, directly ahead, and towards which our ship was fast sailing. **The helm was puta-lee, the yards all braced up, and sails trimmed by the wind, as the man aloft, in a stentorian voice called out, ^Breakers I breakers ahead !' This was a sufficient response to the inquir- ing look of the officer, as perceiving the maneuver without being aware of the cause, he had gazed upon me to find if I was crazed. Cas...ting a look upon the foaming breakers, his face, from a flush of red, had assumed a death-like paleness. No man spoke. AH was silence, except the needed orders, which were promptly executed with the precision that necessarily attends the conduct of an orderly and correct crew in a critical emergency. * *The ship was now sailing on the wind, and the roar- ing of the breakers under her lee, a mile's short dis- tance, was distinctly heard.
