It is well known in Scotland that the road from Edinburgh to Dundee, though only forty-tlnee miles in extent, is rendered tedious and trouble some by the interposition of two arms of the sea. namely, the Firths of Forth and Tay, one of which is seven, and the other three miles across. Several rapid and well conducted stage coaches travel upon this road; but, from their frequent loading and unloading at the ferries; there is I not only considerable delay to the travellers but ! also rather more than the usual risk of damage and loss to their luggage. On one occasion it | happened that the common chances against the safety of a traveller’s integuments were multi plied in a mysterious, but most amusing man ner—as the following little narrative will show: The gentleman in question vas an inside pas senger—a very tall man, which was so much ( the worse for him in that situation—and it ap- 1 peared that his whole baggage consisted of a single black trunk—one of medium size, and no way remarkable in appearance. On our leaving Edinburgh, this trunk had been disposed j in tho bo-'t of tho oac.b, amidst a great variety of other trunks, bundles, and carpet bags, be longing to the rest of tne passengets. Having arrived at New Haven, the luggage was brought forth from the coach, and disposed upon a barrow, in order that it might be taken down to the steamboat which was to convey us ! across. Just as the barrow was moving oti'the J tall gentleman said— ‘Guard, have you got my trunk?” ‘Oh, yes, sir,’ answered the guard; ‘you may l be sure it’s there.’ ‘ Not so sure of that,’ quoth the tall gentleman, ‘whereabouts is it ?’ The guard poked into the barrow, and look- j ed in vain among tho numberless articles for the trunk.—At length, after he had noozled about for two or three minutes through all the holes and corners ofthe mass of integuments, he drew out bis head, like a terrier tired of earth ing a badger, and seemed a little nonplussed. ‘ Why, here it is in the boot!’ exclaimed the passenger, ‘snug at the bottom, where it might have remained, 1 suppose, for you, till safely re turned to the coach yard in Edinburgh.’ The guard made an awkward apology, put the trunk upon the barrow, and away we all went to the steamboat. Nothing further occurred till we wero all standing beside the coach at Fcttycur, ready to proceed ou the principal tarraqueous part of our journey through Fife. Every thing seemed to have been stowed into the coach, and most of the passengers had taken their proper places when the tall gentlemau cried out— * Guard where is my trunk V ‘ln the boot, sir,’ answered the guard; ‘you ] may depend upon that.’ * I have not seen it put in,’ said the passenger, ‘ and I don’t believe it is there.’ 4 Oh, sir,’ said the gua’d,’ quite distressed, ‘there can surely be no doubt about the trunk now.’ ‘There! I declare there !’ cried the owner of the missing property;‘my trunk is still lying down yonder upon the sands. Don’t you 6ee it ? The sea, I declare, is just about reaching it. What a careless set of porters ! I protest I never was so treated on any journey before.’ The trunk was instantly rescued from its somewhat perilous situation, and, all having been at length put to rights, we went our way t Cu par. Here the coach stopped a few minutes at the inn, and there is generally a partial discharge of passengers. As some individuals, on the pre sent occasion, had to leave the coach, there was a slight discomposure of the luggage, and various trunks and bundles were presently seen departing on the backs of porters, after the gen tlemen to whom they belonged. Aftei all seem ed to have been again put to rights, the tail gentleman made his wonted inquiry respecting his trunk. ‘The trunk, sir,’ said the guard, rather pet tishly, ‘is in the boot.’ ‘Not a bit of it,’ said its owner, who In the meantime had been peering about. ‘There it lies in the lobby ot the inn !’ The guard now began to think that this trunk was in some way bewitched, and possessed power, unenjoyed by other earthly trunks, of removing itself or staying behind, according to its own good pleasure. 4 The Lord have a care o’ us !’ cried the as tonished custodier of baggage, who, to do him justice, seemed an exceedingly sober and at tentive person. ‘The Lord have a care o’ us, sir ! That trunks no canny.” ‘lt’s canny enough, you fool,’ said the gentle man sharply; ‘but only you don’t pay proper attention to it.’ The fact was, that the trunk had been taken OTI t 6 ttVSbW'tir’teflairi'other articles’ “being got at which lay beneath. It was now once more stowed away, and we set forward upon the re maining part of our journey, hoping that there would be no more disturbance about this pes tilent member of the community of trunks. All was right till we came to the lonely inn of St. Michael’s where a side road turns off to St. Andrew’s, and where it happened that a passen ger bad to leave us to walk to that seat oflearn ing; a servant having been in waiting to carry bis luggage. The tall gentleman, hearing a bustle about the boot, projected his immensely long slender body through the coach window, in order, like the lady in the fairy tale, to see what he cculd see. ‘Hollo, fellow!’cried he to the servant fol lowing the gentleman down the St. Andrew’s road ;‘ is not that my trunk ? Come back if you please, and let me inspect it.’ ‘l’he trunk, sir,’ interposed the guard, in a sententious manner, ‘is that 4 gemman’s trunk-, and not yours; yours is in the boot.’ ‘ We’ll make sure of that, Mr. Guard, if yoti please. Come back, my good follow, and” let me see the trunk you have got with you.’ The trunk was accordingly |brought back, and, to the confusion of the guard, who had thought himself fairly infallible for this time, it was the tali man’s properly, as ftlear as bras;: nails could make it. The trunk was now the universal subject of talk, both inside and outside, and every body said he would be surprised if it got to its jour i ney’s end in safety. All agreed that it mani | Tested a most extraordinary disposition to bo i lost, stolen, or strayed, but yet every one though! that there was a kind of special providence about it, which keptit on the right road after all; and, therefore, it became a fair subject of debate whether the chances against, or the chances for, were likely to prevail. Before we artived at Newport, we had to go on board the ferry steamboat for Dundee, th* conversation had gone into other channels, and. each beittg engaged abuut his own concerns, no one thought any more about the trunk, tii{ just as the bairov. w :s descending along tho pier, the eternal -eng ina-i*cried out— ‘Guard have you gtuf my trunk V “Jit, yes,- cri.-d the very promptly,’ I’ve taken cate of it now. Thero it is on tho top of all.’ ‘lt's no s:t'-h tiling,’ cried a gentleman who had come into the coach at Cupar ; ‘ that’s ny trunk.’ Every body then “looked about for the en chanted trunk; the guard ran back, and onet> more searched tho hoot, which ho knew to have been searched to the bottom before; and the tall gentleman gazed over land, water, and sky, in quest of his precious encumberance. ‘Well, guard,’ cried he at length, ‘what a pret ty fellow you are ! There, don’t you see ! there’s my trunk thurstjinto the shed, likc piece of lumber.’ And so it really was. At the head ofthe pier at Newport, there is a shed with seats withirv where people wait for the ferrv boats; and there perdu beneath a form, lay the enchanted trunk. NO. 31.
