•One morning, tno weather having cieareu
somewhat, we found ourselves surrounded by
ice. A great chain floated ahead of us, ex¬
tending far into the south. Tho gale blew
dead on to this coast; wo durst not haul the
schooner to the wind, and our only chance
lay iu discovering some bay where we might
find shelter. Such a bay it was my good
luck to spy, lying directly in a lino with the
ship's head. It was formed of a groat steep
of ice juttiug a long way slantingly into the
son, the width between the point and the
main being about u third of a mile. I seized
the helm, and shouted to tlio nie:i to hoist
the head of the mainsail that she might round
to when I put the helm down. But the fel¬
lows wore in a panic terror, and stood gaping
at what they regarded as their doom, railing
upon the Virgin and ail tho saints l'or help
•and mercy. Into this bay did wo i u.,h on
top of a hug" sea, Trontaiiove and the cap¬
tain and 1 swinging, with rot teeth, al the
tiller, that was hard a-be. She eaaio round,
but with such way upon her that she took a
long shelving beach of ice, and ran up it to
the dis^picis of half her own length, and there
she 1 g , with her rudder within touch of the
wash’d the water. The men, regarding the
schooner as 1 ist, n:’d concluding th.-.! if she
went to pieces her boats would be destroyed,
and with then their only chance I , escape
from tho ice, fell frantic, and lost their wits
altogether. They roared,‘To the boats! to
the boats!’ The captain endeavored to bring
them back to their senses; he and land the
mate, and Joam Burros, the Boatswain a
Portuguese—went among them pistols in
hand, entreating, cursing, threatening.
■‘Thin!: of the ph.-ider in this hold- W.il
you abandon i; -.vi, mat an effort to save it*
What think you arc*rour chances for life in
open boats in this sen? Tho schooner lies
protected here; the weather will moderate
presently, and wo may then bo able to slide
her o:iV But reason as we would, the cow¬
ardly dogs refused to listen. They had
broached a spirit cask aft, and pas-, i the
liquor along the docks while they hoisted tho
pinnace "lit of the hold and got the other
boats over. The drink maddened, yet left
them wild with fear to.). They would not
wait to come at tho treasure in the run—the
fools irelieved the ship would tumble to pieces
as she stood—but entered the forecastle and
the officers’ cabins, and routed about for what¬
ever money an 1 trinkets they might stuff
info their pockets without loss of time; and
then provisioning the boats, they called to
us to join them, but we said, “No’’—on which
they ran the boats down to the water, tum¬
bled into them, and pulled away round tho
point of ice. Wo lost sight of them then,
and I have little doubt that they all per¬
ished shortly afterward.”
Ho ceased. I was anxious to hear more.
“You had been six months on the ieo when
the stupor fell upon you;’’
“Ay, about six months. The ice gathered
about us and built us in. I recollect it was
three days after we stranded that, going on
deck, I saw the bay (as 1 term it) filled with
ice. Wo drew up several plans to escape,
but none satisfied us. Besides, sir, we had a
treasure on board which we had risked our
necks to get, and wo were prepared to go on
imperiling our lives to save it. 'Twas natu¬
ral. We had a great store of coal forward
and amidships, for we had faced the Horn in
coming, and know what we had to expect iu
returning. We wore also richly stocked with
provisions and th ink of all sorts. There were
but four of us, and we dealt with what wo
had as if we designed it should last us fifty
years. But tho cold was frightful; it was
not in flesh and blood to stand it. One day—
we had been locked up about five months—
Mendoza said he would get upon the rocks
and take a view of the sea. Ho did not re¬
turn. The others were too weak to seek him,
and they were half blind besides; I went, but
the ice was full of caves and hollows, and
the like, and I could not find him, nor could
l look for him long, the cold being tho hand
of death itself up there. The time went by;
Trentanovo went stone blind, and I had to
put food and drink into his hands that he
might live. A week before tho stupor came
upon me I went on deck and saw Joam Bar-
ros leaning at the rail. 1 called to him, but
he made no reply. I approached and looked
at him, and found him frozen. Then hap¬
pened what I have told you. Wo were in
the cabin, tho mate seated at the table, wait¬
ing for me to load and support him to tho
cook room, for lie was so weak lie could
scarce carry his weight. A sudden faintness
seized me, and I sank down upon the bench
opposite him, letting my head fall upon my
(•ms. Ills cry startled me—I looked up—
ivv him, as 1 have said; but the cabin then
turned black, my head sank again, and I re¬
member no more.”
Ho paused, and then cried in French,
“That is all! They are dead—Jules Tassard
lives! The devil is loyal to his own!” and
with that bo lay back and burst, into laugh¬
ter.
“And this," said 1, “was in 1758.”
“Yes,” lie answered, “and this is 1801—
right and forty years afterward, hey?” and
he laughed out again. “I’ve talked so
much,” said lie, “that, d’ye know, I think an¬
other nap will do mo good. What coals
have you found in the slap;”
I told him.
“Good!” he cried; “wo can keep ourselves
warm for some time to come, anyhow.”
And, so saying, he pulled a rug up to iiis
nose and shut his eyes.
CHAPTER XVI.
I HEAR OF A GREAT TREASURE.
I lighted a pipe, and sat pondering his
story a little while. There was no doubt he
had given me the exact truth so far as his
relation of it went. As it was certain then
that the Boca del Dragon {as she was called)
had been fixed in the ice for hard upon fifty
years, the conclusion I formed was that she
had been blown by some hundreds of leagues
artke-r south than the point to which the
Laughing Mary had been driven; that this
ice in which she was entangled was not tlieu
drifting northward, but was in the grasp of
some polar current that trended it south¬
easterly; that in due course it was carried to
the antarctic main of ice, where it lay com¬
pacted: after which, through stress of
weather or by the agency of a particular
temperature, a great mass of it broke away
and started on that northward course which
bergs of all magnitude take when they are
ruptured from the frozen continent.
Now that I had a companion should I be
able to escape from this horrid situation ? He
had spoken of chests of silver. Where was
the treasure—in the run? There might be
booty enough in the hold to make a great
man, a fine gentleman, of mo, ashore. It
would be a noble ending to an amazing ad¬
venture to come off with as much money as
would render me independent for life, and
enable roe to turn ray back forever upon the
hardest calling tc which the destiny of man
can wed him.
Of such were tho fancies which hurried
through my mind.
I wished to see how the schooner lay and.
what change had befallen the ice i the

Inherited
Diseases.
1 Ill th© realm of diseas© tho facts of in-
her!tftnco are most numerous and are dally
accumulating. Here, ains, they become ter¬
rible, fateful and overwhelming. No fact of
nature Is more pregnant with awful mean¬
ing than the fact of the inheritance of
disease. It meet t the physician on his daily
rounds, paralyzing his art and filling him
with dismay. The legend of the ancient
Greeks pictures tho furies as pursuing
families, from generation to generation,
rendering them desolate. The Furies still
ply their work of terror and death, but they
are not now clothed In the garb of supersti¬
tion, but appear in the more intelligible but
no less awful form of hereditary disease.
Modern science, which lm.s Illuminated so
many dark corners of nature, has shed u
new H?ht on the ominous words of tho
Scriptures, “The sins of the fathers shall be
visited upon tho children unto tho third ojid
fourth generation.” Instances of hereditary
disease abound. Fifty per cent, of cares of
consumption, that, fearful destroyer of fami¬
lies, of cancer arid scrofula, run In families
through inheritance. Insanity Is hereditary
in a marked degree, but, fortunately, lifco
many olln r hereditary diseases, tends to
wear Itself out, the ptnek becoming extinct.
A distinguished biioutlst truly says: “No
organ or texture of the body is exempt from
the chance of being the subject of hereditary
disease." Probably more chronic diseases,
which p?ri:;.inently modify the structure
and functions of tho body,.are more or less
liable to be inherited. Tho important and
far reaching practical deductions from such
facts—affecting so powerfully tho happiness
of individuals and families and the collective
welfare of the nation—are obvious to reflec¬
ting minds and tho best means for prevent¬
ing or curing these diseases is a subject of
Intense interest to all. Fortunately nature
has provided a remedy, which experience
l-.as attested as Infallible, and tho remedy is
the world famous Swift’s Specific, a pure
Tfg.-tablo compound -nature’s antidote for
i.li Mood poisons. To the afflicted it Is a
Mcssln c of inestimable value. An Interest¬

Ho raised his beard and stroke.'his throat
with the sharp of his hand. Then, swallow¬

stopped to listen.
“It is blowing hard,” said he; “the harder

fell to below lii.s collar, and was almost as long
as his hair. He produced a pipe of the Dutch
pattern, with a bowl carved into a death’s
head, and great enough to hold a cake of to¬
bacco. The skull might have been a child’s

finely carved that it looked very ghastly

A correspondent giveA a doleful ac¬
count <>f a visit which he had just pakl
to the monastery of tho Grand (’hartreuse.
Ho and two companions were greeted
with damp beds, followed— -,o lie writes
—by maigre soup, tinned fish, bread and
eggs and sour wine. After their tiring
journey they not unnaturally retired
somewhat early to bed, where it is to bo
presumed they enjoyed a first deep; but
if their expectations were that this sleep
was to be of long duration they were dis¬
appointed. Just at midnight the unfor¬
tunate travelers were compelled, nolentea
volentcs, to get out of their damp sheets
in order to attend the midnight mass, at
which the solitary illumination was the
tiny lamp carried by each monk. The
most trying part of the whole experience
seems to have lieen tho dreary three
hours’ performance which followed and
which may bo realized by the fact that
every visitor was compelled to listen
from midnight until 8 next morning to a
litany and songs. As if to crown tho
misery of the visit, the next day proved
to be a fast day, when even coffee was
denied to tlie visitors, who hail for ro-
past dry bread and a liny glass of char*

night, am. went on Bock, it w a. Mowing a
whole gale of wind from the northwest.
The sea was swelling wry furiously, and I
could divine its tempestuous character by
clouds of spray which spread like - 'luinos of
steam under the sullen dusky heavens high
over the mastheads. Th" schooner lay with
a list of about 15 degs., and her bows high
cocked. I looked over the stern and saw
that the ice had sunk there, and that there
were twenty great rents and yawning seams
where I had before noticed but one. A vast
block of ice had fallen on the starboard side,
and lay so close on the quarter ttiat I could
have sprung ou to it. No other marked
changes were observable.
I was about to go below again, when my
eye was taken by the two figures lying upon
the deck. No dead bodies ever looked more
dead; but after tho wondrous restoration of
tho Frenchmen I coukl not view their forms
without fancying that they were but on he
had been, and that if they were carried to tho
furnace, and treated with brandy and rub¬
bing and tho like, they might be brought t o.
Full of thoughts concerning them I stepped
into the cabin, and going to the cook room
found Tassard still heavily sleeping. Thu
co 1 in the corner was low, and as it wanted
an hour of dinner time I took the lantern and
(^bucket and went into tho fore peak, and
after several journeys stocked up a good pro¬
vision of coal in the corner. 1 made noise
enough, but Tassard slept on. When this
was elided 1 boiled sonic water to cleanse
mi self, and then set about getting the dinner
ready.
The going info the fore peak ls.nl put my
mind upon the treasure, which, ns l had
gathered from the Frenchmans narrsrive,
wan somewhere hidden in the schooner- in
the run as I doubted not; I mean in th. L ! !,
under tho lazaretto—for you will nr :Vet
that, lining, wc.iry and half perished with the
cold, I had turned lay back on that dark part
after having looked into the powder room.
All t he time I was fetching the coal rud dr ■
lug the dinner my imagination a as ■
with fancies of the treasure in this ship. The
Frenchman had told mo that they had been
well’ enough pleased with their hauls in the
South sea to resolve them upon heading
round the Horn for their liaunt, wherever it
might be, iu the Spanish Main; and I had ton
good an understanding of the character of
pirates to believe that they would have
quitted a rich hunting field before they had
handsomely lined their pockets. What, then,
was the treasure in the run, if indeed it were
there?
I war. mechanically stirring the saucepan
full of broth I had prepared, lost in these
golden thoughts, when the Frenchman sud¬
denly ?at up on his mattress.
“Ha!” cried he, sniffing vigorously, “I
smell something good—something I am ready
for. There is no physio like sleep;” and with
that he stretched out his arms with a great
yawn, then rose very agilely, kicking the
clothes and mattress on one side, and bring¬
ing a bench close to the furnace. “What
time is it, sir?”
“Something after 12 by the captain’s
watch,” said I, pulling it out and looking at
it. “But ’tis guesswork time.”
“The captain’s watch!” cried he, with a
short loud laugh. “You are modest, Mr."——•
“Paul Rodney,” said I, seeing lie stopped
for my name.
“Yes, modest, Mr. Paul Rodney. That
watch is yours, sir; and you mean it shall be
yours.”
“Well, Mr. Tassard,” said I, coloring in
spite of myself, though he could not witness
tho change in such a light as that, “I felt
this, that if I left the watch in the captain’s
pocket it was bound to go to tho bottom ul¬
timately, and”-
“Bah!” he interrupted, with a violent
flourish of tho hand. “Let us save the
schooner if possible; there will be more than
one watch for your pocket, more than one
doubloon for your purse. Meanwhile, to din¬
ner ! My stupor lias converted me into an
empty hogshead, and it will take me a fort¬
night of liaixl eating to feel that I have broken
my fast.”
VV itli a blow of the chopper he struck off
a lump of the frozen wine, and then fell to
eating perhaps as a man might be expected
to eat who hud not had a meal for eight-and-
fiorty years.
“There are two of your companions on
deck,” said I.
He started.
“Frozen,” I continued; “they’ll bo the
bodies of Trentanove and Joam Barros?”
He nodded.
“There is no reason why they should bo
deader than you were. It is true that Barros
has been on deck while you have, been be¬
low ; but after you pass a certain degree of
cold fiercer rigors cannot signify.”
“What do you propose?” said ho, looking
at me oddly.
“Why, that we should carry them to the
fire and rub them, and bring them to if we
can.”
"Why?”
I was staggered by his indifference, for I
had believed he would have shown himself
very eager to restore his old companions and
shipmates to life. I was searching for an
answer to his strange inquiry, “Why?”
when he proceeded: “First of all, my friend
Trentanove was stone blind, and Barros
nearly blind. Unless you could return them
their sight with their life they would curse
you lor disturbing them. Better the black¬
ness of death than the blackness of life.”
“There is the body of the captain," said I.
He grinned.
“Let them sleep,” said he. “Do you know
that they are cutthroats, who would reward
your kindness with the poniard that you
might not tell tales against tills them, or claim a
share of Hie treasure in vessel? Of all
desperate villains I never met tho like of
Barros. He loved blood even lietter than
money. He’d quench his thirst before an
engagement with gunpowder mixed in
brandy. I once saw him choke a man—tut!
he is very well—leave him to his repose.”
In the glow of the fire he looked uncom¬
monly sardonic and wild, with his long
beard, bald head, flowing hair, shaggy brows,
and little cunning eyes, which seemed in
their smallness to share in his grin, and yet
did not; and though to be sure he was some
one to talk to and to make plans with for our
escape, yet I felt that if he were to fall into
a stupor again it would not be my hands gjat
should chafe him into being.
“You knew those men in life,” said I. “If
the others are of the same pattern as the
Portuguese, by all means let them lie
frozen.”
“But, my friend," said ho, calling me mon
ami, which I translate, “that's not it either.
Do you know the value of the booty in this
schooner?”
I answered, “No;” how was I to know it? I
had met with nothing but wearing apparel
and some pieces of money and a few watches
in the forecastle. He knit his brows with a
fierce, suspicious gleam in his eyes.
