A drink of spins lalpcd me; luv Mood presently flowed v, i;h brisk¬ ness.

It;, i ;;•» mind to lie down a - The cold ;. : -J was cruelly sharp, and tV.r;-n !;a «ped *r.iiii my mouth at every !r-as though I held a tobacco pipe 1. .vi_.t my teeth. I got upon the ice and sp - u . at it quickly, darting searching gi.u.e - into the gloom to left and right of tho.-.-:ting moon; but all lay bare, bleak and black. It seemed as if the night had only just de¬ scended, so tardy was the dawn. Outside the slanting wall of ice that made my haven, tho swell swept past in a gurgling, bubbling, drowning sound, dismal and ghastly, as though i:i truth some such ogre as 1 he mon¬ ster I had dreamed of lay suffocating there. I welcomed the cold coloring of the i; st as if it had been a ship. and watched the star* dy¬ ing a:;-1 the frozen shore darkening i;n- dim ; .1 sifting dawn behind it, a. ainst which the outline of the cliffs ran in a L.vikut streak of ink. The rising of tho sun gave me fresh life. I made up my mind to climb as high as I could, taking the oar with me to serve r.u a pole, that I might view the ice and the oei an round about, nnd form a Judgment of the weather by the aspect of the sky, of which only the western part was visible from my low strand. But first I must break my fast. I remember biceri. lamenting the lack of means tq make a Lit, that I might obtain a warm meal and a hot drink, and dry my gloves, coat raid breeches, to which tho damp of the salt clung tenaciously. Had this ice been land, though the most desolate, gloomy, KpnJsivo touid spot in the world, I had surely something that would burn. I sat in the boat to eat my slender repast, Gad when it was ended I pulled the oar out of ¥he crevice, and found it would make mo a good pole to probe my way with and support myself by up the slop*. The boat, was now held by tho mast, which I shook and found very firm. I put an empty beer bottle in my pocket, meaning to see if l could enough fill it, be if the suow up above was sv^set to well tasted, and then with a final look at the boat I started. The slope was extremely craggy, Blocks of ice lay about, some on top of the others, and I hwHometimes to warily walk fifty or sixty paces round these blocks to come at a , part of tho slope that was smooth. 1 had come to a stand to fetch a breath, and was moving on afresh, when, having taken not half a dozen steps, I spied the figure of a man. He was in a sitting posture, his back against a rock that had concealed him. His head was bowed, and bis knees drawn up to a level with his chin, and his naked hands were clasped upon his legs. His atti¬ tude was that of a person lost in thought— very easy and calm. I stopped as if I had been shot through the heart. Had it been a bear or a sea lion, or aiiy creature which mv this mind could instantly have associated with white and sttrless desolation, I might have been startled indeed; but no such amazement could have possessed mo as I now felt. It never entered into my bead to doubt that he was alive, so natural was his attitude, as of one lost in a mood of tender melancholy. I stood staring at him, myself motionless, for some minutes, too greatly astonished and thunderstruck to note more than that he was a man. Then I looked about me to see if he had companions or for some signs of a habitation, but the ice fvas everywhere naked. I fixed my eyes on him again. His hair was above a foot long, black as ink, and the blacker may be for the contrast of the snow, llis beard and mustache, which were also of this raven hue, fell to his girdle. He wore a great yellow flapping hat, such (is was in fashion among the Spaniards and buccaneers of the South sea; but over his oars, for the warmth of the protection, were squares of flannel tied under his beard by a very fine red silk handkerchief; and this, with his hair and paid cheeks and black shaggy eyebrows, gave him a terrible and ghastly appearance. From his shoulders hung a rich thick cloak, lined with red, and the legs to the height of the knees were in¬ cased in large boots. I continued surveying him with my heart beating fast. Every instant I expected to see him turn his head and start to behold me. I coughed loudly, holding my polo in readi¬ ness for whatever might befali, but he did not stir; I then holloaed, and was answered by the echoes of my own voice among tho rocks. Ilia stillness persuaded mo ho was in one of those deep slumbers which fall upon a man in frozen places; for 1 could not per¬ suade myself he was-dead, so living was „his posture. thought I; I went This will not do, so Sfese to him and peered into liis face. J tee-.it close to him and peered into his face. His eyes were fixed; they resembled glass painted as eyes, the colors faded. He had a broad Lc-lt round his waist, and the hilt of a kind of cutlass peeped from under his cloak; Otherwise he was unarmed. I thought he brei*hed and seemed to see a mqvemeut in pirn* blood.

Through the labyrinth of the ice outlines I clearly made out two masts, with two square yard* on the foremast, the rigging perfect so far aa it went; for^tbe figuration showed no more than half the height of the uinsls, t he lower parts of being apparently hidden behind the edge the holloa. The fabric appeared as if forme ’ ' frosted glues. Tl.' masts had a good . d with a seam;;:.":; cyo I took no . ,ic furni¬ ture. observing the shrouds, i..jys, backstays and braces to be perfect. Nay, ns though the spiritartist of this fragile, glittering jageant had resolved to omit no detail to complete the illusion, there stood a vnuet "ho mast¬ head, shining like a tongue of kt ainst tho soft blue of tho sky. Come, th ght I, re¬ covering from my wonder, there is more in this than it is possible for mo to guess by starfli;; from a distance; so, striking my jioId into tho snow, l made carefully toward tlio edge of the hollow. The craduai uufoldinir of tho Dictum urt- pare i my mind for what I could not see til] the brink was reached; then, looking down, I beheld a schooner riggnfi vessel lying in a sort of cradle of ico, stern on to the sea. A man bulked out with frozen show, so as to make his shape as great os a l>oar, leaned upon tho rail with a slight upward inclination of his bead, as though haft he wore in tho uct of look- ifig fully up to mo. His posture was even more life like than that of tho man un¬ der tho rock; but his garment of snow robliod him of that reality of vitality which hail startioil mo i:i the other, uttd the instant I saw him I know him t»be dead, llo was the only figure visible. Tho whole body of the vessel was frosted by tho snow into the glassy as¬ pect of the spars and rigging, mid the sun¬ shine striking down made a beautiful pris¬ matic picture of tho silent shij>. She was a vogy old craft. Tho snow had molded itself upon her, and enlarged with¬ out spoiling her form. J found her age in the structure of her bows, the head boards of which eurvecl very low round to tho top of tho stem, forming a kind of well there, tho after part of which was-framed by the forecast) - bulkhead, after fashion of shipbuilding i.i vogue in the reign of Anne find the lirs!. two Georges. Her topmasts wore standing, but her jibboom was rigged in. I could find no other evidence of her people having snugged- her for these winter quarters, in which she had been manifestly lying for years anil years. It was very evident that the schooner had in years gone by got embayed in this ico when it was far to tho southward, and had in course of time been built up in it by float¬ ing masses. For how old tho ico ubout tho poles may be, who can tell? In those sunless worlds the frozen continents may well pos¬ sess the untiquity of the land.

I pushed him with the; violence of sudden trepidation; my hand siipjiedoff hi. shoulder, and ho fell ou his side, exactly as u statue would, preserving his po-fure as though, like a statue, he had been chiseled out of marble or stone. I started liack frightened by his fall, in which my fears found a sort of life; but it was sobn clear to me his rigidity was that of a man frozen to death. His very hair and beard stood stiff, ns before, as though they were some exquisite counterfeit in ebony. Perfectly satisfied ttrnt he was dead, I stopped round to tho other sido of him and set him up as I hail found him. He was as heavy as if he had been alive, and when I put his back to tho rock his posture was exactly as it had been—that of one deeply meditating. YVho hail this man been in lifet How had befallen into this ] stss ! How long had ho been dead there, seated as I saw- him? These were sjieeulations not to bo resolved by conjecture. On looking at the rock against which ho leaned, and observing its curvature, it seemed to mo that it had formed wart of a cave, or of some large deep hole of ice; nnd this, I was sure, must have been the case—for it is certain thut, had this body remained long unsheltered, it must have lieen hidden by tho suow. I concluded then that tho unhappy man had been east away upon this ice while it was under bleaker heights than these paral¬ lels, and that ho had crawled into a hollow and perished in that melancholic sitting post¬ ure. Thinking I might find something on his person to acquaint nnrwith his story, or that would furnish me with some idea of the date of his being cast away, I pulled liis cloak aside and searched his pockets. His legs were thickly cased in two or three pairs of breeches, He tfcr outer pair being of a dark green doth. also wore a handsome red waistcoat, laced, and a stout eoat of a kind of frieze. In his coat pocket I found a silver tobacco box, n small glass flask fitted with a silver baml and half full of an amber colored liquor, hard froze; and in his waistcoat pocket a gold watch, shaped like aji apple, the back curiously chased and inlaid With jewels of several kinds, forming a small letter M. Th t hands j minted to twenty minutes after three. A key of a strange shape and a number of seals, trinkets, and the like were attached to the watch. Theso things, together with a knife, a key, a thick plain silver ring, and some Spanish pieces in gold and silver were what 1 found on this man. There was nothing to teli me who he was, nor how long ho had been on the island. Tho searching him was tho most disagree¬ able job I ever undertook in my life. His iron-like rigidity made him seem to resist me, ami tho swaying of liis back against the rock to tho motions of my hand was so full of life that twice I quitted him, frightened by it. Qn touching his naked hand by acci¬ dent, I discovered that tho flesh of it moved upon the bones as you pull a glovo off and on. I had had enough of him, and walked away feeling sick. I pushed onward, stepping warily and probing cautiously at every step, such"a and earn¬ estly peering about me, for after sight as that dead man I was never to know what new wonder I might stumble upon. About a quarter of a mile on my left—that is, on my left while I kept my face to the slope— there was the appearance of a ravine not dis¬ cernible from where the boat lay. YV'hcn I was within twenty feet of the summit of the cliff, the acclivity continuing gentle to the vgry brow, but much broken, as I have said, I noticed this hollow, and more particularly a small collection of ice forms, not nearly so large as the other groups of this kind, but most dainty and lovely, nevertheless. They showed as the heads of trees might to my ascent, and when I had got a little higher I observed that they were formed upon the hither side of the hollow, as though tho con¬ vulsion which had wrought that chasm had tossed up those exquisite caprices of ice. However, I was too eager to view tlxo pros¬ pect from the top of the cliff to suffer my admiration to detain me; in a few minutes I had gained the brow, and, clambering ou to a mass of rock, I sent my gaze around. CHAPTER VIII. THE FROZEN SCHOONER. I found myself on the summit of a kind of table Jand; vast bodies of ice, every Mock weighing hundreds and perhaps thousands of tons, lay scattered over it, yet for tho space of a mile or so the character was that of flatness. Southward the range went upward to a coastal front of some hundred feet, with a huddle of peaks and strange configurations behind soaring to an elevation from the sea line of two or three hundred feet. North¬ ward tho range sloped gradually, with such a shelving of its hinder part that I could catch a glimpse of a little space of the blue sea that way. From this I perceived that whatever thickness and surface of ice lay southward, in tho north it was attenuated to the shajte of a wedge, so that its extreme breadth where it projected its capo or extremity would not exceed a musket shot. Being on the top of the range now, I could plainly hear tho noises of the splitting and internal convulsions of this vast formation. The sounds are not describable. It was im¬ possible to fix the direction of these sounds— the island was full of them, and always sul¬ lenly booming upon tho breeze was the voice of the ocean swell bursting in foam against the ice coast that confronted it. "You may talk of the solitude of Selkirk: but surely the spirit of loneliness .in him could not rival the unutterable emotion of solitariness that filled my mind as I sent my gaze over those milesof frozen, stirless white¬ ness. He had the sight of fair pastures, of trees making a twinkling twilight on tho sward, of gras3y savannas and pleasant slopes of hills; the aif was illuminated by the glorious plumage of flying birds; the bleat of goats broke the stillness in the val¬ leys ; there was a golden regale for his eye, and his other senses were gratified with the perfumes of rich flowers and engaging con¬ certs among the trembling leaves. Above all, there was the soothing warmth of a de¬ licious climate. But out upon those heaped and spreading plains of snow nothing stirred, if it were not once that I was startled by a loud report, and spied a rock about lialf a mile away slide down the edge of the flat cliff and tumble into the sea. I turned my eyesjseaward. There were a few heavy clouds in the northeast, so steamliko that roetbought they borrowed their complexion from the snow on the island’s cape there. I was pretty sure, however, that there was wind behind them, for if the roll of the ocean did not signify heavy weather near to, then what else it be¬ tokened I could not imagine. I cannot express to you how the very soul within me shrank from putting to sea in the little boat. Yet I could not but consider that it would be equally shocking to me to be locked up in this slowly crumbling body of ice—nay, tenfold more shocking—and that, if I bad to choose between the boat and this hideous solitude and rare starvation, 1 would cheerfully accept fifty times over again the perils of a navigation In my tiny ark. This reflection comforted me somewhat, and while I thus muted I remained standing with my eyes upon tho little group of fanci¬ ful fanes and spires of ice on the edge of the "" 1 ' : ..... Irs.
