CHAPTER XLIX.

Tur ‘Springbok’ arrived in due course at

longitude 103 deg. 30 min., but saw no} him.

island. This was dispiriting; but still Captain Moreland did not despair.

He asked General Rolleston to examine the writing carefully, and tell him was that Miss Rolleston’s handwriting.

| The General shook his head sorrowfully. | ‘No,’ said he; ‘it is nething like my child’s hand.’

‘Why, all the better,’ said Captain More- land; ‘the lady has got somebody about her who knows a thing or two. The man who could catch wild ducks and turn ‘em into

/postmen could hit on the longitude some- how; and he doesn’t pretend to be exact in the latitude.’

Upon this he ran northward 400 miles; which took him three days; for they stopped at night.

No island.

He then ran south 500 miles stopping at hight

No island.

Then he took the vessel zigzag.

Just before sunset, one lovely day, the man at the mast head sang out:

‘On deck there!’

‘Halloo!’

‘Something in sight; on our

, bow.’

weathe¥-

‘Looks like a mast. No. Don’t know what it is.’

‘Point.’

The sailor pointed with his finger.

Captain Moreland ordered the ship’s

course to be altered ascordingly. By this time General Rolleston was on deck, The ship ran two miles on the new course; and all this time the topman’s glass was leveled, and the crew climbed about the rigging, all eyes and ears,

At last the clear hail came down.

‘I can make it out now, sir.’

‘What is it?

‘It is a palm-tree.’

The captain jwoped on agun, and waved his hat grandly, and instantly the vessel rang with a lusty cheer; and for ence, sailors gabbled like wesher-women.

They ran anti] they saw the islandin the

to come too close. They anchored off the west coast,

At daybreak they moved slowly on, still sounding as they went; and rounding the west point, General Rolleston saw written

on the guanoed rocks in large letters ;

AN ENGLISH LADY WRECKED HERE. HASTE TO HER RESCUE,

He and Moreland shook hands; and how their eyes glistened !

Presently there was a stranger inscription still upon the rocks—a rough outline of the island on an enormous scale, showing the coast-line, the reefs, the shallow water and the deep water.

‘Ease her ! Stop her !’

The captain studied this original chart with his glass, and crept.slowly on for the west passage.

But, warned by the soundings marked on the rock, he did not attempt to go through the passage, but came te an anchor, and lowered his boat.

The sailors were all on the quit vive to land, but the captain, to their infinite sur- prise, told them only three persons would land that morning—himself, his son, and General Rolleston.

The fact is, this honest captain had got a missgiving, founded on a general view of human nature, He expected to find the girl with two or three sailors, one of them united to her by some nautical ceremony, duly witnessed, but such as a military officer of distinction could hardly be expect- ed to approve. He got into the boat ina curious state of delight, dashed with un- comfortable suspense; and they rode gently for the west passage.

As for General Rolleston, now it was he needed all his fortitude. Suppose the Jady was not Helen! After all, the cha:ices were egainst her being there. Snp jose she was dead and buried in that island! Suppose that fatal disease, with which she bad gailed, had been accelerated by hard- ships, and Providence permitted him only to receive her last sigh, All these mis- givings crowded on him the moment he drew so near the object which had looked all brightness so long as it was unattain- able. He sat pale and brave, in the boat; his hope.

They rounded Telegraph Point, and in a ‘moment Paradise Bay. burst on them, land Hagel’s boat within a yards of them. beached the boat, and General Rolleston _jJanded. | hand and said ‘‘call us if it is ail right.”

General Rolleston returned the pressure of that honest hand, and marched up the beach just as if he was going into ‘action. | Hecame to the boat. It had an awning ‘over the stern, and was clearly used as a sleeping-place. A series of wooden pipes standing on uprights led from this up to the cliff. The pipes were in fact mere isections of the sago tree with the soft | pith driven out, As this was manifestly-a |tube of communication, General Rolleston f.llowed it until he came to a sort of /verandah with a cave opening on il; he entered the cave and was dazzled at its | most unexpected beauty. He seemed to be in a gigantic nautilus. Roof and sides |and the very chimney were one | laze of | mother-of-pearl. But, after the first start, , brighter to him still was an old shawi he saw on a nail; for that showed it was 4

(To be continued). IN BERMUDA. Its Discovery and Past History,

Another Interesting Letter from Rev, W. &B. Frame.

My apology for sending you a short sketch of the ‘‘History of the Bermudas” is that previous to coming here I knew very little about them, and presume that this may still be the case with at lea-t a few of your readers,

So far as published records "show, the Bermudas were first discovered on or avout the year 1515, (the exact date is uncertain) by Juan Bermudez, Commander of a Spanish merchant ship, when on a voy: ge from Spain to the Island of Cuba. The islands thus derived their name from the man who first discovered them.

The group was, in subsequent yeors, called ‘‘Somers’ Islands,” after Acmiral Sir George Somers, who lost bis ship on them in 1609, when bound from England to the Colony of Virginia,—then by an easy and natural transition, and in allusion to the climate, they were also called “Summer Islands.” The two latter names have long since been dropped and the Islands are now known only as the Bermudas or Bc rmuda.

It does not appear that Bermudez, on discovering these islands, took formal possession of them in the name of the King of Spain. It 1s indeed doubtful if he ever landed, thovgh it is recorded that he in- tended exploring them, but in the mean- time was driven out to sea by a severe storm,

Though he, no doubt, reported the dis- covery of the islands to his Royal Master, yet it is quite clear that the Spaniards made no move to setile them. The next we hear of the Bermudas is in 1543, when Philip IL of Spain mace a grant of them to Ferdinand Camelo, a Portuguese, but what the terms were are not known.

Camelo seems to have made no further use of the royal gift than merely to visit the islands—take forma) possession of them, and then suddenly depart. The only relics he appears to have left, were the initials of his name, and the year of his landing carved iv arock on the south coast, It may be that he could not induce Spainards to come and settle on the islands, for on account of the stormy seas and dangerous reefs which surrounded them, the idea privailed that if a vessel attempted to reach the coast, ship- wreck was inevitable. There was even a worse idea abroad with regard to the Ber- mudas, it was generally believed that they were the abodes of evil spirits. This notion may have partly arisen from the fact that

° there were no wild animals on them. The

Spaniards at this time actually gave to the

—‘*The Devils”— and they were popularly known as the Devil's Islands. It was on account of shipwrecks on the

to have come under the notice of the Eng- lish. In the year 1593 an English sailor named May was wrecked on them ina French ship, and with the captain and part of the crew, got ashore and remained several |months, during which time they construct- ed a vessel of eighteen tons, and then put to sea. May eventually reached England, and published in 1594 an account of bis shipwreck and adventures, and also hia impressions of the dangerous isl»nds, which were more favorable than those of the Spaniards.

It was, however, the shipwreck of Admiral Sir George Somers in 1¢00— already referred to, that brought the Ber- mudas prominently before the Englsh nation, ;

Though losing his ship on the reef, Sir George and his whole crew got naiely ashore, where they remained about six months building a small versel, in which they sailed for the Evgiish cok ny of Virginia, safely reaching it after a prosper- ous voyage. Admiral Somers having Fe- ported very favorably ss to the climate and capabilities of the Bermudas to the Gov- ernor of Virginia, the latter determined vo
