CHAPTER XLVIL.

THAT clond was really the smoke of the)

‘Springbok, which had mounted into air so thin that it could rise no higher. The boat herself was many miles to the north- ward, returning full of heavy hearts from a fruitless search. She came back in a ‘higher parallel of latitude, intending after- | ward to steer N. W. to Easter Island. | ‘Then the life was gone out of the ship; the

father was deeply dejected, aid the crew| could no longer feign the hope they did not

‘feel. Having pursued the above course to | within four hundred miles to Juan Fernan- dez, General Rolleston begged the captain _to make a bold deviation to the S. W., and ‘then see if they could find nothing there before going to Easter Island.

| Captain Moreland was very unwilling to , the more so as coal was getting short. However, he had not the | heart to refuse General Rolleston anything. There was a northerly breeze. He had the fires put out, and, covering the ship =

canvass, sailed three hundred wiles S.

But found nothing. Then he took in sail, 'got up steam again, and away for Easter jIsland. The ship ran so fast that she had got into latitude thirty-two by ten a. m. next morning

At 10h. lém. the dreary monotony of this jouiee was broken by the man at the mast-

" S. deck there !’

r ‘Halloo?

‘The schooner on our weather bow!’ ‘Well, what of her?’

‘She has luffed.’

| ‘Well, what o’ that?’

‘She has altered her course.’

‘How many points?’

She was sailing S. E., and now her head is N. E.’

‘That is curious.’

General Ro!leston who had come and listeped with a grain of hope, now sighed and turned away. | The captain ‘explained kindly that the jan was quite right io draw his cap- _tain’s attention to the fact of a trading ‘vessel al! ering her course, ‘There is a sea

grammar, General,’ said he, ‘and when one /seaman sees another violate it, he concludes | there is some reason or other. Now, Jack, | what d’ye make of her?’

‘I can't make much of her; she don’t |seem to know her own mind, that is all. At ten o'clock she was bound for Val- /paraiso or the island. But now she has come about and beating to windward.’

‘Bound for Easter Island?’

‘I dunno.’

‘Keep your eye on her.’

‘Ay, ay, sir.

Captain Moreland told General Rolleston | that very few ships went to Easter Island,

iserable place; and he was telling the

\low order, who half worship the relics of /masonry | left by their more civilized pre-

‘I think she’s bound for the ‘Springbok.’’

‘fhe soldier received this conjecture with jastonishment and incredulity not to be ;wondered at. The steambvat headed N. | W., right in the winds eye. Sixteen miles off, at least, a ship was sailing N. E. And ‘there hung in the air, like a black mark} the blue sky, a fellow whose oracular voice came down and said B was | endeavoring to intercept A. | Nevertheless, time confirmed this con- _jecture; the schooner having made a short ‘board tothe N. E came about and made a | long board due west, which was as near as she could lie to the wind. On this Captain | Moreland laid the steamboat’s head due north. This brought the vessels rapidly together.

When they were about two miles distant, ‘the stranger slackened sail and hove to,

some novel machinery, and pulled toward the steamer. There were two men in it; the skipper and the negro. The skipper came up the side of the ‘‘Springbok.” He was loosely dressed in some light drab- colored stuff and a huge straw hat; a man with a long puritanical head, a nose in- clined to be aquiline; a face bronzed by weather and heat, thin resolute lips and a square chin. But for a certain breadth between his keen gray eyes, which revealed more intellect than Cromwell’s lronsides he might have passed for one of that hard-praying, harder hitting fraternity.

The Great Organ Factories of Wm. Bell & Co.

(From the Mechanical and Milling News.)

Guelph can boast of having the largest organ factory in the Dominion, which in itself turns out more than one-half of all the organs manufactured in Canada. The pro- prietors are the well-known firm of Wm, Bell & Co., who have been for years recognized as makers of the very best ef musical instruments. This now so flourish- ing business was started about twenty years ago in a small way, and by the perseverance and push of the proprietors has been steadily worked up until to-day it stands in the front rank in its line. The product is now about three hundred and fifty organs a month, while the capacity of the works is twenty-five per day. The firm do a very large export trade. Last year over 700 organs were sent to England alone, and this trade has since been increased to an average now of a car load per week direct to London, from where they are sent all over England and Scotland. Besides this shipments are made to nearly every country on the European continent, to Australia, South America, South Africa, and also to Japan, where the firm have established a regular agency. The firm operate two large factories, one of which, erected in 1881, is an imposing structure, and an orna- ment to the whole city. The factories are located, only about 200 yards apart, on Market Square. Any one whe has gone through these factories and has had an op- portunity to observe the systematic way everything is handled is at once imp and convinced that the same care and

| supervision is bestowed on every one in-

strument, whether it is intended for the home trade or for London, England, the Cape of Good Hope, or Japan. The home trade of the firm is, of conrse, very exten- sive too, and the Bell Organs have become almost household articles throughout Cenada. The organs manufactured by this firm are exclusively reed-organs, and every instrument is guaranteed for five years from date of manufacture. Between 150 and 200 skilled workmen are constantly employed in the two factories.

[Mr. C. P. Fletcher, of Charlottetown, is the General Agent for P. E. L, for the above firm, and does a very extensive busi- ness with the celebrated Bell Organ. }

The manufacture and exportation of ‘“mitation butter” is becoming one of the standard industries with our Republican cousins over the border. For the ten months ending on the 31st of October last, the exports of that article amounted to 1,698,712 pounds, valued at $198,925. Dur- ing the same period *‘oil” tothe amount of 31,600,926 pounds, and valued at $4,104,- 105, was also exported. In fact, olemar- garine as an article of export would almost seem to be driving genuine butter out of the market. During these same ten months the total export of butter was only 18,884,- 346 pounds, valued at $3,414,299, bein over forty per cent. less in quantity, an twenty per cent. less in value than the bogus article. The nuisance of it is that oleomargarive is succeeding on its own merits. It is better than nine-tenths of the butter that is made:

Peter Dunne, housekeeper of the Domin- ion Seriate, at eight o'clock on the night of the 29th, took by mistake thirty grains of nox vomica and was almost fatally poisoned.

|The timely use of stomach pumps relieved

him and now he is slowly improving, but is yet very low. It is feared that the poison has got inte his blood, in which case death will certainly ensue before morning. The medicine taken by Mr. Dunne had been

prescribed by Dr. Paquette for Senator Chapais, to be used externally.
