“I went on board to look at him. He
couldn’t speak and was scarcoly able to
see, bnt with his right hand he man
aged to scrawl on paper a request that
I would send some one to carry him to
Sydney that he might die there and bo
bnried alongside his child. I conldn’t
spare my mate, bnt luckily for this
here Sanndcrs I’d , get a man in my
fok’slc that had Leon second of a coast
er. Ho understood all about tho sun, nigh
•the samo as you and me. So I put him
into tho brigantino along with a few
comforts for tho sick man, and we part
ed. ”
Miss Manse), darting looks of min
gled amazement and pleasure at the
commander, left her seat and, slightly
bowing to tho American, entered her
cabin.
“I hope,” said the American cap
tain, rising, ‘‘that I havo said nothing
to hurt tho lady’s feelings.”
-’All tragical tales of tho sea,” an
swered the commander courteously and
gravely, having rallied his wits with
that sort of intellectual uimblencss
which the sea captain peculiarly stands
in need of “affect most people as. sur
prises. I, who have been to sea nearly
all m.v life, never hear such a yarn as
this of yonrs, for instance, but that I
am shocked moro or less. A little ship
washing about helpless, threo men
never knowing what’s going to befall
them from honr to hour, the master
dying or dead of paralysis in the cabin.
Such a tale should easily move tho ton-
dor hoart of a young woman.”
The Yankee watched him while he
delivered these w : ords in his odd, deep
voice of lamentation.
"Pray, sir,” said he, “will yon kind
ly toll ico how long Miss Mansel has
been iu this brig with yon?”
The commander replied:
“Cun you inform mo if she has any
relations, any connections in Australia
or England? Is slio English or colonial?”
He approached Boldock by a stride to
hearken.
“She is a stranger to me, sir, ” an
swered the commander, with a harden
ing face.
“You havo no interest in her, then?”
“She is a lady passenger on board
this brig and under my care. ”
"Yon’ll not take what I’m going to
say in an oukind sporrit, Ihope, ” began
the Yankee, with a look at the cabin
Mis3 Mansel was in, “I’m wonudily
taken by that girl, and that’s a fact
Never saw such eyes iu my life. Would
she be willing, d’yon reckon, to come
along with me?”
Tho commander, who bad been seated
till now, sprang out of hisseatand turn-
story at
ed his immense face, red as
sunset, upon the American.
“Oh.” said tho Yankee quickly,
“don’t let thcro bo any misonderstand-
ing between ns. What I’ve got fn view’s
a life partnership. As commander of
this brig, it’s in your power to make a
man and woman husband and wife by
reading your marriage sorvico before
’em.”
”1 decline to discuss this subject,”
said the commander, and turning his
broad shoulders upon the skipper he
went up the steps. Tho Yankee imme
diately followed.
“Yon’vo treated mo very handsomo-
ly, ” he exclaimed. “I hope I’ve not of-
feudedyou?” ',\
“I will not believe that you meant
any offense, sir,” responded the com
mander. “Suppose, now, wo proceed on
our respective voyages.’!
He took tho man’s proffered, band
and walked'to tho gangway and raised
his hat to tho salutation of the sombre
ro when the boat was pulling for the
American brig.
The Mexican was’ a mere smndgo of
pearl in tho far bine. Tho water was
shivering to a strengthening breeze,
and the English ensign at the Welles
ley’s peak rippled with the musical
note of a brook in a wood in a summer
mouth.
“Mr. Hardy, ” said the commander^
walking aft, “get’way upon the brig,
sir.”
“Aye, aye, sir,” answered Mr. Har
dy.
“Will you step below and get some
breakfast, Mr. Matthews?” said tho
commander.
“Thankfully, sir,” nnswered Mr.
Matthews.
Tho order was given, and the brig’s
yards were swung.
“Hardy, ” said the commander, stand
ing beside him, “I spoke favorably of
tho American this morning. I recall
my words. They no longer march, in
my opinion, at the head of civilization. ”
T never should have thought of pnt-
; them there, sir,” exclaimed Mr.
Hardy with ouo of his leeriug looks at
the commander. “The right place for
’em is where the noise comes in. The
band don’t load, tho pioneers walk
first.”
“Bnt, ul] the same, ” said the com
mander, looking at the American brig,
which was now slowly sliding,away on
the Wellesley’s qnnrter, “our friend,
yonder has given me a wonderful piece
of news, and I guess, to nso his phrase,
that onr ten friends of the nuggets will 1
find themselves handsomely cornered.
Yes, Hardy, you may dip to him.”
• CHAPTER YYT1T.
BAIXORAN ISLAND.
It was the tenth day sinco the seizure
of tho ship, a red afternoon, islands of
white vapor inf fho sky sailing very
slowly over their shadows in tho sea
southward. These noble masses of vapor
hnug hulked in lofty terraces far sooth.
In the midst of that wide space of
waters floated tho Queen, with her bow
sprit pointing toward the coast of cloud.
The wind followed her. It was a light
wind, and she blew slowly onward, not
wholly the same graceful fabric that
Benson had commanded. Indeed you
had bnt to look aloft to see that mischief
had been done her; that she had cither
come through n hard straggle of weath
er or that hor beauty had beeu wrecked
by some half drunken snob at the helm.
A seaman, howover, would at once
have ascribed tho loss of the bark’s fore
topgallant mast to storm. He would
havo observed other signs of the ship
having been severely strained. Tho nine
gontlemen and tho two sailors hail
cleared away tho wreck, but now, with
out her crown of topgallant sail’and
royal forward and her milk white wing
of flying jib, she I poke-;,another ship.
It was 4 o’clock in tho afternoon.
Eight gentlemen were on deck; Shan
non was at the wheel, Imt lie, who ought
to have beeu preoccupied by tho busi
ness cf steering, was as busy as the rest
of them in sending looks, searching witli
hopo and fear, at that line of blue wa
ters which washed the terrace of vapor.

Captain Trollope, stepping with 6-.»

Benson's glass under his arm down the
poop liulucr and walking a little way
along the quarter deck. “Don’t yon
make out any signs of land yet, Dike?'
That scowling gentleman sat airily
perched high aloft on the crosses of
timber which Trollopo had rightly
named in hailing. Savage impatience
had carried him up tiio shrouds with
the late captain’s binocnlar glass,
through which he was staring at 'the
ocean ahead when Trollope shouted.
“Yes,” ho answered, letting sink the
glass frnmjiis eyes while he turned his
face, tho blacker for the shadow of his
hat, slowly aft in his sulky way to an
swer, “And bad you waited another
minnto I’d havo reported it,”
“Land ho!” shouted Captain Trol
lope.
“Whereaway?” bawled the fellows
onffco poop, coming in araslrof excite
ment to the rail at the break.
“How docs the land bear, Dike?”
cried Trollope, looking np.
“I wish it had beeu any other man
np there,” shouted Shannon from the
wheel. “What centuries that hedgehog
takes toansT.er a question! Why didn’t
ho die when he had that fit? He’s not
too good to die. ’ ’
“Foro topmast crosstrees!” roared
Trollope. “Don’t you hear mo ask you
how does the’ land boar?”
“How am I to givo it you in points?”
answered Caldwell “All that I know
is it’s there, ” and ho shot oat his arm,
indicating a placo on tbo sea about threo
points on tho lee bow.
Haukcy sprang off tho poop, and,
miming forward, danced aloft. The
canvas of tho topsail swelled against a
soft, vast whito cloud. Above stood tho
naked head of the mast, clearly exposing
the forms of Hr. Caldwell and Mr.
Hirnkey as they jockeyed one arm of
the crosstrees pillion fashion, their legs
swinging, their shapes sharp as ink
streaks against the clond.
“Land iu your eye, is'it?” cried Wes
ton, rushing off the poop on to the quar
ter deck and gazing np at the men.
“Solid enough to got married on, bet
yonr dollop ou that Solid enough to
bnild a church ou and be bnried in, ’
yelled Haukey. “Hurrah 1”
He had taken tho binocular glass
from Caldwell, and, iu tho ecstasy of
tbathnrrab, ho knocked his companion’s
hat off.
“Plagno take you for tho clumsiest
hand in tho ship!” growled Dike.
The hat being of straw, fluttered
lightly to the deck. Its descent was
} watched by thcr people below with
I tort of honor. Nothing so suggests the
j fall of a man from aloft as the dropping
I of his hat. His head might well he iu
i it, yon think. Caldwell came slnggish-
! ly as a bear down the rigging, leaving
tho glass with Haukey, whom Trollopo
now hailed.
“I say, old chap, do you see any sign
of the brigantine?”
“That’s just v.hat I’m looking for,”
answered Haukey, standing np and
holding on by ouo hand and carefully
sweeping tho horizon of tho waters with
tho lenses.
“Brigantine iu sight?” shouted Shan
non from the wheel.
Nobody made, answer till Hankey,
looking down, sang ont, “I seo nothing
like a sail, bnt there are many tips of
whito clouds which are.dcucedly bother
some, and I won’t swear that one or
another mayn’t Lo a ship yet.”
Caldwell sprang like a toad off the
rail on to the deck, picked his hat np
and pnt it on liis head.
“It’s the land and your island, Trol
lope, ” said he, with a note of gloomy
congratulation in his voice. “I make
yon. my acknowledgments. Your skill
as a navigator is exquisite. ” .
Tiollopo tonchcd his cap and wound
his mustaclio with half a smile, half a
sneer.
“But there’s no ship,” continued
Caldwell, “and unless Saunders has hid
den liia vessel away behind that blotch
yonder lie’s missing liis road or gone
down iu the gale. ”
Several of the men, catching at Cald
well’s hint, gathered about Trollope
and shook hands with him and wero
noisy in admiration of his navigation.
“It’s a little early to suppose that
because we don’t see the brigantine
she’s gone down, or that Saunders has
missed the road,” exclaimed Trollono
presently, tnnnng 'upon OaldweH.
“Why, man, the blessed island itself
isn’t iu sight yet from these decks. ”
“Who wants to depress ns?” said Dav-
enire.
“I am the first man to see the island,
all the same.” said Caldwell, and with
a look dark with liver, nerve and tem
per he turned to the rail and stared
away ont to sea.
Captain Trollopo staid awhile aloft.
He was a scoundrel, bnt a man of im
agination and taste and could not fail
to enjoy'tbs magnificent prospect of sea
which trembled and sparkled iu its
countless miles of hrino far beneath
him and away to the distant hlne Slope
scarcely clothed with clond. Tho air up
here blew with a refreshing coolness.
Tho oblique glance of tho sun painted
half the squares of tho canvas to the
main royal a delicate crimson, which
paled iu the other half into gray. The
vane at tho masthead burned, and all
the tarry shrouds and backstays were
tipped in each turn of strand with gold.
The ocean was a sheet cf gold under
the snn, and many dark shadews of
cloud seemed to sleep upon it like is
lands. Trollopo thought ouo looked as
firm as land and watched it anxionsly
till he saw that it moved. He gazed
down and beheld lines of bine swiftly
taming into light, curving, numerous
as the strings of a harp from either
how, the swelling cloths of the main
topsail -and topgallant sail concealing
the northern horizon. He judged that
the ship’s speed was abont 5 knots
and that tho island might be above 20
miles distant.
It would bo impossible for them to
make it by daylight Ho resolved,
therefore, to sail another !2 or 15 miles
and then heave the ship to till dawn.
Yet he staid first to intently survey
the liquid path of the ship ns far as the
glasses carried his sight; then most care
fully ho ran along the horizon to where
the mainsail blocked it on either hand.
He saw no ship, nothing hut swarming
mockeries of sail, graceful as feathers
and deceptive by lingering.
It will he terrible, he thought, as he
slowly descended tho rigging, if Sanu-

tiers is not at the island, aud ou gain
ing the deck he, without answering
several questions put to him by the
men, passed straight to tho captain’s
cabin and opened tho book of sailing
directions iu which was a tracing of
Halloran island. Tho delineation, how
ever, was loo small to convey any idea
of bays and natural harbors or littlo
curvatures of coa3f. Closing tho book,
he consoled himself with tho reflection
that not until next day, when they
slionld havo sailed round the island,
oonld they certainly know whether tho
brigantine had failed them or not.
Tho wind shifted aud came with a
trifle of freshness out of tho sunset,
when sea, sky and cloud wero a smoky
red with tho fires of tho west. They
trimmed sail, ol.ewing up the main royal
which tbo Dane furled, aud the bark
drovo onward clothed in pnrplo. Mr.
Storr and tbo colonial merchant had
left excellent pocket telescopes behind
them. The nine gentlemen had also
found a very handsome fleldglass in
Mrs. Peacock’s cabin. Those and old
Benson’s telescope and binocular wero
in much request this afternoon and even
ing, particularly when the island sprang
on to the rim of tho deep like a colored
bubble, fast growing out of blueness in
to green, bnt the shift of wind laid dis
solved the clonds. Other forms of vapor
wero shaped in the breezo; they flow
high, aud the horizon ceased to madden
the strained sight with disappointments.
Now, whiio thero was daylight in
tho sky, and the island was a measura
ble oiijeot about 14 miles off, they
conld, with tho glasses, judge of its
character and extent, and their spirits
sank. It looked rich in wood and seem
ed about two inilcs long. It sat low,
and tho length of itwas white with tho
throb of surf, though somo of tho men
thought it was coral beach. But where
was'tho briganiine? That was the ques
tion that damped their sonls and pnt
ont the fire in their hearts. They could
not distinguish the least appearanco of
anything resembling a vessel on this
side. *
“If wo are to heave to without look
ing round tho comer, ” said Davcnire to
Trollope, “till the morning, the night’s
going to be mad with anxiety. ”
“The evening is already upon the
water, ” answered Trollope. “It dark
ens sharply in these latitudes. We must
heave tho ship to within tho next half
hour. I’ll not trust myself with less
than a ten mile offing, and when we
aro.hovo to I shall want a cast of tho
deep sea lead. ”
The evening was dark and moonless
and tho water was crackling and glanc
ing under tho steady gashing of the
westerly wind when they hovo the bark
-to, the island bearing then abont eight,
miles distant, a scarcely determinable
heap of shadow in the windy dusk.
They furled tho mainsail and.the main
topgallant sail and left her to lie under
her topsails, the • foresail hauled up.
They showed no lights and kept an
eager lookout Itwas juEt tho sort of
night when a ship would show sudden
ly; plenty of stars streamed between the
clonds aud a sort of fat dusk was upon
the sea.
The break of day found the nine men
en deck,- William at tho wheel, the
Dane on the forecastle head gazing at
the island! shannon, who usually han
dled the ship when the required maneu
ver was lit all complicated, swung the
main topsail and m>i way upon tho ves
sel. When tho sun rose, the morning
was one of true Pacific splendor, a vast
breast of radiance weltering from sea
lino to sea line, a sky spacious and high,
with pearlliko cloud, marvelously net
ted aud like, while jewelry of some sort,
infixed or let in to tlie,bine dome. A
bright wind was blowing ont of the
west and the sea line ran io the island
as clear as the. rim of. a tumblrr. The
swell of the night had drifted tho spot
about !2 miles distant over the bows
When tho helm swung tho ship’s head
fair for it. Every glass was leveled; not
a feather tip broke tho pure sweep of
the flashing horizon.
“What’s the good of his going aloft,
with that scowling face of his?” said
Shannon to Haukey while they watcli-
ea tne somewnat uugainjy snape oi
Dike Caldwell Ehaking the fore shrouds
as he made his way to the top. “There’s
nothing to bo seen fay looking, and
there’s nothing to hope for by waiting.
Thoro’s iio Rival at that island, abaft or
before. She ought to he hero, and her
cot being here will mean brimstone by
and by, for, now it’s come to it, there’s
not a fiend of the lot of us who can
make up his mind. ”
Hankey drew out his whiskers and
watched the island without answer.
Onward drove the ship. The south
ern slopes of the island were how slow
ly opening, and upon the little heights
of hummock or hill the' Eoft vegetation
of those latitudes, tufted, planted, spire-
like, was to be seen iu the lenses trem
bling iu the rushing Lrrftze—a lovely
sight against tho morning sky of tho
east.
“Round with those yards!” shouted
Shannon. ‘'Down helni!’ ’
-The men swayed at the braces, witii
yells of disappointment
“Belay this—belay that—well all!”
They had the breeze on tho quarter.
The bark hud slowed her jiace, the men
stood to port with lifted glasses, those
without them gripping the rail or grasp
ing a backstay. This side of the island
was as lifbless as t’other. Right amid
ships of it yon noticed a sung, litt-Ie,
natural harbor, and there the Rival un
doubtedly would have found a berth.
“That dog Sanndcrs has betrayed ns,
that’s all, ” said Mr. Weston, plunging
his fists into his breeches pockets and
kicking the deck with a vehement swing
of one leg. .
“She foundered in the gale,” said
Haukey. “So much tho better, Trol
lope, ain’t it? It’s only the tender man
of honor.” ho added, with an offensive
grin at Caldwell, “would havo that
sink of villainy, Mo, partake freely of
the plunder wo risk) ifo and liberty for. ”
Dike Caldwell scowled at him.
“What d’yon mean to do?” said Peter
Johnson to Trollope.
Captain Trollopo was looking darkly
at the island. Eis face expressed deep
disappointment and perplexity.
“I had hoped to find her here,” said
he. “She ought to havo beeu hera Sho

L There’s tho bald fact anyhow,”
said lie, with a theatrical gestnro of liis
hand toward the island. “Yon know
my views. ”
“Stato ’em clearly once again,” said
Davenire, towering np close ngaiust
Trollope, with liis fingers in his waist
coat pocket, while lie swayed with tho
heave of tho deck.
This is what I want to do, ” said
Trollope. And the eight men, the Dane
being at the wheel; gathered abont their
leader to listen, probably for tho twen
tieth time, to proposals which they had
surely long ago got by heart.
