ICE BOUND. By W. CLARK RUSSELL, Author of “The Wreck of the Grosze nor." “Jack s Courtship » “Af,, Watch lie- low,' “The Lady Maud ” Me. CHAPTER XXX. OUE PROGRESS TO THE CHANNEL When I started to relate my adventure 1 never designed to write an account of the journey home at large. On the contrary, 1 foresaw that, by the time I bad arrived at this part, you would have had enough of the sea. Let inu now, then, l*s as brief as pos¬ sible. The melting of the ice and the slowly in¬ creasing power of the sun were inexpressibly consoling to me, who had had so much of the cold that I do protest if Elysium were bleak, no matter how radiant, and the abode of the fiends as hot as it is pictured, 1 would choose to turn my back upon the angels. I cannot say, howcvor, that the seooner was properly thawed until we wore hard upon the parallels of the Falkland Islands; she then showed her timbers naked to the sun, and exposed a brown solid deck rendered ugly by several dark patches, which, scrape as wo might, we could not obliterate. Wo struck the guns into the hold fur the better ballasting of the vessel, got studdiugsail booms aloft, over¬ hauled her suits of canvas, and found a great square sail which proved of inestimable im¬ portance in light winds and in running. After tho ice was wholly melted out of her frame she made a little water, yet not so much but that a balffhoiir’s spoil at the pump twice a day easily freed her. But, curiously enough, at the end of a fortnight she became tight again, which I attribute to the swelling of her timbers by their direct contact with tho water. We were a slender company, but we man¬ aged extraordinarily well. The men wero wonderfully content; I never heard so much as a murmur escape from One of them; they never exceeded their rations nor asked for a drop more of liquor then we had agreed among us should be served out. But, ns I had anticipated, our security lay in our slender¬ ness. We were too few for disaffection. The negroes were us simple ns children, Wilkinson looked to find Lis account in a happy arrival; and if I was not, strictly speaking, their cap¬ tain, 1 was their navigator, without whom their ease would have been as perilous as mine was on the ice. It was on the 5th of December that wo sighted tlie Scilly Isles. I guessed what that laud was, lmt so vague had been my naviga¬ tion that I durst not be sure, until, spying a smack with her nets over, I steered for her and got the information 1 needed from her jjeople. They answered us witli an air of fear, and, in truth, the fellows had reason, for, besides the singular appeal anee of tho ship, tho four of us were appareled in odds and ends of flic antique clothes, and I have little doubt they considered us lunatics of another country, who had run away with a ship be¬ longing to parts where the tastes and fashions were behind tlie age. Now, as you may suppose, by this time I had settled mv plans; and as we sailed up channel I unfolded them to my companions. I pointed out that before we entered the river it would i.e necessary to discharge our lading into some little ves.*J that would smuggle the booty ashore for us. Tlie flgnre the schooner made was so peculiar that sho would inevitably attract attention; she would instantly lie boarded in the. Thames on our coming to anchor, and if I told tlie truth she would be seized as a pirate, and ourselves dismissed with a small reward, and perhaps with nothing. “My scheme,’’.said I, “is this: I have a rel¬ ative in London to whom I shall communi¬ cate the news of my arrival and tell him my story. You, Wilkinson, must be the bearer of this letter. Ho is a shrewd, active man, and I will leave it to him to engage the help wo want. There is no lack of the right kind of serviceable men at Deal; and if they are promised a substantial interest in smuggling our lading ashore, they will run the goods successfully, do not fear. As there is sure to bo a man-of-war stationed in the Downs, we must keep clear of that anchorage. I will land you at Lydd, whence you will make your way to Dover and thence to Lon¬ don. Cromwell and Pitt will return and help me to keep cruising. My letter to my relative will tell him where to seek me, pud I shall know his boat by her flying a jack. When we have discharged our lading we will sail to the Thames, and then let who will come aboard, for we shall have a clean hold. This,” continued I, “is the best scheme 1 can devise. The risks of smuggling attend it, to be sure; but against those risks wo have to put the certainty of our forfeiting our just claims to the property if we carry the schooner to the Thames. Even suppose, when there, that we should not be immedi¬ ately visited, and so be provided with an op- portuity to land our stuff, whom have we to trust! Tho Thames abounds with river thieves, with lumpers, scuffle hunters, mud larks, glutmen, rogues of all sorts, to hire whom would mean to bribe them with the value of half the lading, and to risk their stealing the other half. But this is the lesser difficulty; the main one lies in this: There are some 1,600 men employed in tho London custom house, most of whom are on river duty as watchmen; thirty of these people are clapped aboard an East Indiqman, five or six on West India ships, and a like proportion in other vessels. So strange a craft as ours would l>e visited, depend on’t, and smartly, too. D’ye see the danger, lads t What do you say, then, to my schemer The negroes immediately answered that they left it to me—1 knew best; they would bo satisfied with whatever I did. Wilkinson mused a whilo, and then said; “Smuggling was risky work. How would it be if we represented that we had found the schooner washing about with nobody aboardr “Tho talo wouldn’t be credited," said I. “The age of the vessel would tell against such a story, even if you removed all other evidence by throwing the clothes and small arms overboard, and whatever else might go to prove that the schooner must have been floating about abandoned since the year 1750!" “Mustn’t lose'de’elothes, massa, on no ac¬ count 1” cried Pitt. “Well, sir,” says Wilkinson, after another spell of reflection, “I reckon you’re right. If so be the law would seize the vessel and goods on the grounds that she had been a pirate and all that’s in her was plunder, why, then, certainly, 1 don’t see nothin’ else but to make a smuggling job of it, as you say, sir." This being settled (Wilkinson’sconcurrenoe being rendered the easier by my telling him that, providing the lading was safely run, 1 would adhere to my undertaking to give them £1,000 each for their share), I went below and spent half on hour over a letter to Mr. Jeremiah Mason. There was no ink, but I found a pencil, and for paper I used the fly leaves of the books jn my cabin. 1 opened with a sketch of my adventures, and then went on to relate that the Boca was a rich ship; that, as she had been a pirate, I risked her seizure by carrying her to London; that I stood grievously in need of his counsel and help, and begged him not to loco a moment in rcpirnincr with the messenger to ti ? p i __ g ro».o-,d. r* ?- & *'t*' -t SWIFT'S SPECIFIC Is entirely a vegetable preparation con talnlua no Mercury.

That I might know his boat, I bade him fly a jack a little below the masthead. “As for the Boca del Dragon," I added, “Wilkinson would know her if she were in the middle of a thousand sail, and indeed a farmer’s boy would be able to distinguish her for her uncommon oddness of figure." I was satisfied to underscore tho words “a rich ship," quite certain his imagination would be sufficiently fired by the expression. At anything further I durst not bint, as the letter would lie open for Wilkinson to read. When I had finished I took a lantern and the keys of tho chest and went very secretly and expeditiously to the run, and, removing the layers of small arms from tho top of the case that held the money, I picked out some English pieces, quickly returned the small arms, locked the chest, and returned. All this timo we wore running up channel before a fresh westerly wind. It was truo December weather, very raw, and the horizon thick; but 1 knew my road well, and while the loom of tho land showed I desired nothing better than this thickness. But wary sailing delayed us, and it was no‘. till 10 o’clock on the night of the 7th that we hove the schooner to off the shingly beach of Lydd, within sound of the wash of tho sea upon it. Tlie bay sheltered ns; we got the boat over. I gave Wilkinson the letter and ten guineas, bidding him keep them hidden, and to use them cautiously, with the silver change he would receive, for they were all guinoas of tho first George, and might excite comment if he, a poor sailer, ill clad, should pull them out and exhibit them. Happily, in the hurry of the time, he did not think to ask me how I had come by them. He thrust them into his pocket, shook my hand ami dropped into the boat, and the negroes immediately rowed him ashore. I stood bolding a lantern upon the rail to serve them as a guide, waiting for the boat to return, and never breathed more freely in my life than when I heard tho sound of oars. The two negroes came alongside, and, clap¬ ping the tackles on to the boat, wo hoisted her with the capstan, and then, under very small canvas, stood out to sea again. CHAPTER XXXI. THE END. I should require to write to the length of this book over again to do full justioo by de¬ scription to the difficulties anil anxieties of the days that now followed. If it had not been thick weather all the timo I do not know how I should have fared, I am sure. I was betweed two tires, so to say: On tho one side the French cruisers and privateers, and on the other side the ships of my own country, and particularly the revenue cutters and the sloops and the like cruising after the smug¬ glers. As I knew that my relative could not be with me under four days, I steered out of sight of land into tho middle of the channel, between Beachy Head and the Seine coast, an! there dodged about under very small canvas, heartily grateful for the haze that shrouded the sea to within a mile of me. I scarcely closed my eyes in sleep, and though my worries were now of a very different kind from those which had racked me on tho ice, they were, in their way, to tho full as tormenting. Every sail that loomed in tho dinginess filled me with alarm. Several ships passed me close, and I could scarce breathe till they were out of sight Indeed, 1 lay skulking out upon that sea as if I was some common thief broke loose from jaiL However, it pleased heaven that I should manage to keep out of desired sight of those whom I most strenuously not to see; and the afternoon of the fourth day found the Boca lying off Beachy Hoad, and I peering over the rail with a haggard face at the dark shadow of the land. It had been blowing and snowing all day. The seas ran short anil spitefully. It was a dismal December afternoon, and the more sensibly disgusting to us who were fresh from several weeks of the balm and glory of the tropics. And yet I would not have exchanged it tor a clear, fine day for all that I was like to bo worth. It was the most reasonable thing in the world that a vessel should be hovo to in such somber weather; and so I was under no con¬ cern that our posture in this respect would excite suspicion, should we be descried. The hours stole away one by one. Now and again a little coaster would pass, some hoy bound west, a sloop for the Thames, a lugger on some unguessable mission—all small ships, oozing dark and damp out of the snow and mist and passing silently. I kept the land close aboard to be out of the way of the bigger craft, and kept tho vessel in the wind till it was necessary to reach to our station. The three of us were mighty pensive and eager, staring incessantly with all our eyes; but it looked as if we were not to expect any¬ thing that day when the night put its dark¬ ness into the weather. Then, as I foresaw a serious danger if the wind shifted into the south, and as I could not obtain a glimpse of a shore light, I resolved to bring up and ride till dawn. Long ago we had got tho schooner’s old anchors at tho catheads and the cables bent; so, lowering the mainsail and hauling down the stay foresail, we let fall the starboard anchor, and the ship came to a stand. I put the lead over the side that we might know if she dragged, hung a lan¬ tern on tho forestay and one on either quar ter, that our presence might be marked by my relative should ho put out in quest of us, and (went below, leaving Cromwell to keep the lookout. 1 was extremely fretful ahd anxious, and had no patience to talk with Billy Pitt. There were too many risks, too many vague chances in this exploit to render contempla¬ tion of it tolerable. Suppose my relative should bo dead! Suppose Wilkinson should be robbed of his money! fall to the cutting of capers as a sailor newly deiiverod to the pleasures of the land with ten guineas In his pocket? get locked up for breaking the peace? blab of us in his caps, and start the customs on our trail? There was no end to such con¬ jectures; and I made myself so melancholy that I was fool enough to think that the treasure was no better than a curse, and that on the whole I was better off on the ice than here with tho anchor in English ground, and my native soil within gunshot. I was up and about till midnight; and then, being in the cabin and exhausted, I fell asleep across the table, and in that posture lay as on* dead. Some one dragging at my arm with very little tenderness, awoke me. I was in the midst of a dream of the schooner hav¬ ing been boarded by a party of French privateersmen, with Tassard at their head, and the roughness with which I was aroused was exactly calculated to extend into my waking the horror and grief of my sleep. I instantly sprang to my feet, and saw Washington Cromwell. “Massa Rodney,” he bawled, “Massa Rod¬ ney, de gent’s longside—him on’ Wilkinson — vans, by de good Lord, dey’se both dere! Dey hail me, an’ I answer and say * Who are you T and dev say ‘Are you de Boca? ‘We am,’ I say, and dey say"- I had stood stupidly staring at Mm; but my full understanding coming to me on a sudden, 1 jumped to the ladder and darted on deck. 1 beard voices over the starboard side and ran there. It was not so dark but that 1 could sco ihe outline of a Deal lugger. While I was peering the voice of my man Wilkinson cried out, “On deck, there) Crom¬ well—Billy—where’s Mr. Rodney!" “Here I am!" cried I. “Mv God. exclaimed the voice of Mr. Mason, ’teais encounter is torttnaca in¬ deed. I shouted to the negroes to show a light, and in a few minuter Mr. Mason, Wilkinson and n couple of Deal boatman came over the side. I . u my relative by both bauds. I bad • 'ii him for four years. “T’ -red of you, indeed!" 1 cried. “Bi . must bo perished with tho cold of thn'. i boat.

My relativo was warmly clad, and did not seem to suffer from tho cold. lie took me by the band and brought me to the lantern light, and stood viewing me. “Ay," said he, “you aro your 1 «clf—n bit worried looking, but that’ll] \ Stout and burned. Grid’s heart! Paul, i. you have passed through the experiences Wilkinson has given me a sketch of we must have your life, man; we must havo your life—for the booksellers.” / “ You are your old self." Well, I need not detain you by reciting al) the civilities and congratulations which ht and 1 exchanged. Ho and Wilkinson hail arrived nt Deal at 3 o’clock that afternoon, and after a burriod meal had hired a lugger and started at once for Beachy Head It was now 3 o’clock in tho morning; and what 1 may consider a truly extraordinary circum¬ stance is, that they had sailed ns truo a course for tho schooner as if she hail lain plain to tlie gaze at the very start; that sineo the night had drawn down they had met no vessel of any kind or description until they came up to us; that in all probability they would have run stem on into us if they had not seen our lights, and that their seeing our lights had caused them to hail us, their “Ship ahoy!" being instantly answered by Crom¬ well. “Well," said I, “there are stranger things to tell of than this, even. Now, Wilkinson, and you, Billy and Cromwell, get. us a good supper and mix a proper bowl. (low many more of you are in the lugger?” “Four, sir," said one of tho boatmen. “Then fetch as many ns may safely leave tho boat," said I. “Billy, get candles and make a good light here. Throw on coal, boys; there’s enough to carry us borne.” 1 saw Mason gazing curiously about him. “’Tis like a talo out of the‘Arabian Nights,’ Paul," he exclaimed. “Ay,” said I, “hut written In bitter prose, and no hint of enchantment anywhere, liut, thank God, you are comet I have passed a dismal time of expectation, I promise you.” I added, Roftly, “1 have something secret; wo will sup first; man, I shill amaze you! We must talk apart presently." He Iniwed his held. EtO ~iV. CONTINUED New Advertisements. ,::'srr.rr • - ' ftllMQ UUIIO price REVOLVERS, list JOHNSTON lend stamp SON, for to & Pittsburgh. Penn.
