The dripping log line wae rolled up anil

the ataya, and right well did the old
Marathon lie over from the heavy
breeze that a welled our canvas to its
greatest tension. I hove the log again.
“ How much now?" say* the skipjaT,
“Twelve and a luilf, sir."
"1 guess that is id amt all we can get
out of her, with this wind ; that extra
pull gave her the other half knot.”
In ten days after tuissing Kerguelen’s
I .and, the high arid irregular coast of
Australia was raised from the masthead
by our first mate, tidings Mr. Bolter, who
shouted the glad to those on
deck. No sooner had the sound of his
voice diet! away than a baker's dozen
were running up the ratlines, eager to
obtain even a distant view of the great
island.
A number of us old salta, who had
mi iled for Australia liefore, contented
ourselves Viy snuffing the air like so
many jiorpoisca.
Alter we hurt paswal tietween Tasmania
and the South Sea continent, we caught
a light breeze on otir quarter and headed
for Sydney. right Bower No in sooner the river had juat wo dropped off the
our
town than our vessel was boarded by
the surgeon of tl»e jsirf, who examined
our |ia|iers, good and, being satisfied that we
were in health, our ship was al¬
lowed to haul up nearer the city. The
old man went ashore to make his report
to the Consul, but when he returned his
face wore n troubled lisik. He called
Mr. Bolter ami myself into the cabin,
w here, to our surprise and chagrin, lie
stated that the Consul informed bun that,
when the cargo was discharged, he
should have to press the ship into ser¬
vice for the Government to carry a lot
of convicts to Van 1 hematite Land. The
vessel that brought them was disabled,
and could proceed no further.
The skipper remonstrated against the
seizure, but it was of no avail. The
Consul said he was sorry, but it could
not be avoided- -our vessel taring the
only on# in i sirt that would answer the
purpose, ma the convicts must be got
off without delay. This news found its
way among the crew, and several of
them ran away and took to the bush,
not oaring to rnjk tbeinaelve* at sea with
