enough. But my conclusion was that we ‘were making, or, more correctly. drifting, W. N. W., and that, barring accidertis or good fortune of being pick- ed up, I should sooner or later touch somewhere in the neighbourhkeod of the Persian Gulf. This pleased me little. for I knew the entire region to be infested by bands of pirates, wha, should they discover us, wowli make short work of both me and the brig. But. as I have said, I was powerless

to alter the course, and so had to drift

on, trusting to Providence for safety. Ore evening there sprang up.a breeze

for

on our larboard quarter, which, the first time since I had been left alome, pushed the Bird of Paradise to

something of a pace.

“Till take it as a good omen,” I said to murself. “Tf she keeps at that, I

shall scesn arrive—somew here.” I sat on deck that night kmger than

usual, partly to keep a sharp lookout, partly to enjoy the bracing breeze. It coulti not be called a clear night, but there was a strange light on the sea, half aerial, half phosphorescent, that would have made a sail wisible at a

consijvrable distance had ome chanced

to come that way, which it didn’t. About eleven o’cluck I went below,

ani, having fed my famfly of rats—a

thine which I did as regniarly as I sata my prayers—turned imto bed. I lay licnge awake, however, with a pre-

menition that something was gcing to

happen It could not be callefi a pain- fal feeling, rather a vague sense of some impending change that might prove important. However, I fell asleep after a time withovot disturb- ance of any sort.

The sun was already level with mv peep-hole windows when I awoke. Af- ter dressing leisurely I went out on

deek to go through the usual morning exercise of sweeping the ocean to see whether any sail Lad wandered into view. At first I could discern nothing, and:coneluded I was still all alone, but presently, taking a second look, I de- scriefi the tiniest black speck—ft might be a flouting hat—between mevand the horizon. My heart thumped im sudden excitement,

“Now, what the deuce is that ?”’ I found myself saving, with quick ] breath. “It doesn’t look like a sail. No, it can’t be a sail. If I were any where in the track of civilization I shoni@ say it was a_ buoy. But a buoy where ships never appear to come would be an impossible viece of ab- surdits

My curiosity increasel without bringing me any clearer krowledge. ‘* Perhaps it's some monster sh taking the sun,” I said aloud, as if I had listening companions.

Then I thought it prudent to stop gazing fora little, and went below for breakfast.

it was a hasty, perfunctory meal that morning, for in less than minutes I was on deck again, palpi- tating with a desire for knowledge. The black speck was still on the glit- tering plain--distinct, motionless, mys- terious ag ever. The gentlest breeze blew in mv larboard quarter, and in my eagerness I ran to the helm, for- getting that it was a splintered wreck, as potent for its purpose as the tail of a moulting hen. Then, finding it was to be a game of watching, I hurriedly rigged a hammock out of the tangled cordage and sails and climbed into it, intent on discovery. Fours passed without bringing enlightment. The burning sun beat down on @ shimmer- ing, brazen s?a, whose metallic sheen made me giddy and nearly blind. The preeze died away. and the briz tay idle.

Then I went to Mr. Watson’s strong- tox, smashing the lid with an iron bar, and taking thence the longest sword I could find. That being of a good weight, end sufficiently keen, I selected a Turkish dagger, and a sail- or’s long knife, and two more re- volvers, with some ammunition. Then

Il arranged my armoury and waited for the boat. It was now close enough to enable me toe discern that there was

but one man in it, a discovery that gave me confidence. With such an

arsenal and the natural advantage of my position the deuce was in it if I couldn’t give a good account of my- seif.

The man was rowing hard, and the

My first care was to find out whether or not he was one of the crew, but a very brief examina- ticn sufficed to show that he was not. He began to pull again, and I, think- ing my warlike preparations overdone, hastily put my Weapons out of sight, reserving just a brace of pistols and a dagger to meet emergencies.

My visitor did not come close along- side, but held off a little distance, as if doubting the reception he should receive. He wes an Arab, and show- ed signs of distress. “woe wer’ @ called in English, never expecting him

to understand that language. ‘“ Allah is merciful !" he responded joyfully in the same tongue, and with two or three vigorous strokes he was along- side, Then for a mi?: or sO we silently took stock of each otliter. I was not enamoured of his looks, and perhaps he was just as little in love with mine.

‘You seem rather in a bad way,” TI remarked, speaking first.

‘Allah is a mighty scourger,.” he said, with a shrug of his tawny shoul- ders.

‘So he is,’”’ I replied. ‘How do you come to be alone and in such a plight ?’’

He laid his forehead against mine, and threw his arm over nV shoulder, clasping mv si} ith t! other, and laying his chin first on my left breast and then on my right, striking my ralm with his, and giving other novel and embarrassing tokens of esteem and friendship, all the while invoking
