We had grown up together As it were Mollie and i our parents being near neigh Bors does not always firm friends As Well. They were poor and suspect that fact had much to do with their Friendship for opportunities were always turning up for helping one another and i have often noticed that when near neighbors Are Well Oft and have no need for Mutual help there is very Seldom any Friendship Between them. There is More Apt to be jealousy and Competition. Track the flames already their and Vance guard was beginning to surround nv-3, singing my hair and eyebrows. Suddenly there was a murmur among the people below and the next instant a Light form flew up the ladder leading to the deck by the Pilot House and before i could say a word my precious Mollie had opened the door and closing it again stood by my Side. Mollie i cried for heaven s Suko go Baeckl Don t you see How the flames Are creeping toward us Hare go go my Dearest my oven True wife Don t unman me by making me fear go Down where i can feel you have a Chance Rob Thornel she exclaimed with her eyes looking bravely straight into mine am i your surely 1 uttered but my Post is Here Jusi As much As yours she answered firmly.

Our parents being such Good friends it naturally resulted that Mollie and i Fol Lowed their example. We went to school together read together played together and somehow when Mollie was eighteen and i Twenty we agreed to travel together All our lives and were very Happy in that arrangement. In fact no other would have seemed right natural either to us our parents. From the earliest Days my boyhood 1 had a fondness for the water haunting the palatial steamboats that floated the Mississippi River whose Banks nestled the City in which we dwell and at the period to which i am about to refer i i had just secured a position As Pilot a Small freight Steamer. J it was not much a position to be sure nor was there much a salary attached to it but Small As it was Mollie and 1 decided that we could make it answer for two people neither them extravagant unreasonable besides which i had Hopes better times to come As i had received words commendation from my employ ers and promises speedy promotion. So Early one Bright morning having obtained a Day s leave absence Mollie and i trere married and stepping into a Carriage i had hired for the occasion we Start is off having decided a Day s excursion to a celebrated Cave near by this being All the Wei min trip we cot fld allow ourselves i not that we cared in the least however j were too Happy to be disturbed by any shortcomings time purse. To had scarcely driven beyond our own Street when we were brought to a halt. _ a messenger whom i recognized As belonging to our Steamboat company hailed me. Here is a note for you from the super thus it ran am sorry to have to recall your leave for today but you must immediately go Board the Mobilia which is Rea Dylo Start up the River. The Pilot is top ill to attend to duty and you Are appointed to take his place for Tho present. Oes our wedding trip All to said i As Mollie read the order. Who she asked. See i must go into the Pilot House Here Rob and if you die i will die too. To will make our wedding trip together my dear husband even it be into the next world. Keep to your duty and never me Rob. There is Hope for us yet and if it comes to the worst a wave Sweet smile crept round her we Are still together dear Lovel i saw it was no use to urge her any More and besides something swelled in my Throat so that i could not utter a word so i just gripped the wheel hard and looked right ahead though everything looked very dim just then and my devoted Dar Ling stood calmly at my Side watching the flames that were creeping closer upon us leaping around the Pilot House like hungry demons impatient for their prey. Shouted the Captain come Clown. Lower her and yourself Over the rail. Well catch you. You cannot stay there any longer. We Are very near the Shore now and the rest Well take our chances it was an awful temptation. 1 knew that did i follow the Captain s advice both Mollie and i would be Safe for i was a Good swimmer and should the boat not reach the Shore i could save her and my self but then i did this would i not deliberately expose every one the 30j souls Board to destruction True the boat might keep to her course during the Short space remaining to be passed merely from the rapid impetus her approach but again she might then 4.17p 8 12.1jp 4.02p 8 8.47p 16 1.17ft 8.2sp 23 l 3.19p 27 3.07p 82 6 2.48p 40 2.33p 48 8.07 a 2.12p 66 7.60a 1.45p 86 l-b5p 68 8.40 1.80 8.86 11.

The flagship Chicago gave the signal and turned. On her two lights Candle Power each and each set in the focus the most powerful reflector known. All the other vessels set their lights in order and then the search Light sweep began guided the Chicago s signals. Thirteen Broad bands streams pure White Light spouted into the Clouds from the anchored sight so awfully grand that not a cheer arose from the More people who witnessed it but a convulsive Wavy motion and a general a he showed the sex 01 then the streams Light began to turn this Way and that. One fell a Small boat two Miles away and every motion . Its occupants could be seen As plainly As at noon. Another struck a group a mile and a Quarter away and they could read Fine print in the pure cold Light.

With ourselves to the was All ablaze. My arms released from the guardianship Over the wheel clasped Mollie close to my heart but my eyes and brain were Busy seeking some Mode escape from death that seemed each instant More certain. All at once my eyes rested the paddle Box it had not taken fire yet the flying Spray had saved it. I had Only to dash across the flame swept deck and fling open a Little door in its Side which afforded 1 ready Access to the wheel to lower my precious charge to the water beneath in safety. No sooner thought than done. I take my hand i said and rim with me. We shall be saved after All. Wrap your shawl across your Mouth. Now leaping Down the deck we in hand to the paddle Box. I dashed open he Little door and pushing Molly inside 1 used in myself and Drew the door close shutting out the eager flames whose Roar pursued us As we dropped Gen a Down into the shallow water and crept at from beneath the wheel.
