CHAPTER XXIII.

(Continued: )

Toward afternooon, seals were observed sporting on. the waters; but no attempt was | made to capture them, Indeed, Miss Rol- lleston had quite enotgh to do to sail the boat with Mr. Haz-l's aasistance.

‘The night passed, and the morning brought nothing new; exeept that they ‘fell in with sea-weed in such quantitics the i boat could hardly get through it.

Mr. Hazel examined this sea-weed er

| fally, and brotght several kinds upon deck. | Among the varieties, was one like thin green strips of spinach, very tender and

succulent. His botanical researches in- ‘cluded sea-weed, and he recognized this as one of the edible rockweeds.

There was very little of it comparatively, but he took great pains, and, in two hours’ time, had gathered as much as might fil! a good slop-basin, tg:

He washed it in fresh water, and then ‘asked Miss Rolleston for a pocket handker- | Chief. This he tied so as to makea . and | contrived to boil it with a few chips of fuel , that remained on board. . ) | Alter be had boiled it ten minutes; there ‘was bo more fuel, except a bowl oF, two, and the boat-hook, one pair of oars, and the mid ship and stern thwarts.

He tasted it and found it glutinous and delicious; he gave Miss Rolleston some, and then fed Welch with the rest. He, poor fellow, enjoyed hig: sea spinach greatly; he could no longer swallow meat,

While Hazel was feeding him, a flock of ducks passed over their heads high in the air.

Welch pointed up to them.

‘Ah? said Helen, ‘if we had but their wings!’ :

Presently a bird was seen coming in the same airection, but flying very low; it waddled along towards them: very slowly, and, at last, to their great surprise, came flapping, and tried to settle on the gunwale of the boat. Welch, with that instinct of slaughter which belongs to men, stuck the boat-hook into the bird’s back, and it was soon dispatched. [t proved to be one of that very flock of ducks that had passed over their heads, and a cral was fastened to its leg. It is supposed that the bird, to break its long flight, had rebied on some reef, and, perhaps, been too busy fishing, and caught this Tartar.

Hazel pounced upon it.

‘Heaven trds sént this for you, because you cannot eat turtle.’ But the next mo- ment he blushed and recovered his reason. | See, said he, referring to her own words, ‘this poor bird had wings, yet death over- took her.’

He sacrificed a bowl for fuel, and boiled the duck and the crab in one pot, and Miss Rolleston ate demurely, but plentifully of both. Of the crab’s shell he made a little drinking-vessel for Miss Rolleston,

Cooper remained without funeral rites all this time; the reason was that Welch lay with his head pillowed upon his dead friend, and Hazel had not the heart to disturb him.

But it was the survivors’ duty to commit him to the deep, and so Hazel sat down by Welch, and asked him kindly whether he would no: wish the services of the Church to. be read over his departed friend.

‘In course, sir, said Welch. But the next moment he took Hazel’s meaning, and saic: ‘No, no, [| can’t let Sam be buried in the sea. Ye see, sir, Sam and I, we are used to one another, and I can’t abide to part with him alive or dead.’

‘Ah,’ said Hazel, ‘the best friends must part when death takes one.’

‘Ay, ay, when tother lives. But Lord bless you, sir, J shan’t be long astarn of my messmate here; and can’t you see that?’

‘Heaven forbid,’. said Hazel, surprised and alarmed.

‘Why. you are not mortally wounded as Cooper was. Have a good heart, and we three will see Old England yet.’

‘Well,’ sir, said Welch, coolly, ‘I'll tell ye; me and my shipmate, Prince, was a cut- | ting at one another with our knives a smart itime (and I do preperly wonder, when I think of that day’s work, for I liked the ‘man well enough, but rum atop of starva- ‘tion plays hell with sea-faring men), well, sir, as 1 was a-saying, he let more blood ‘out of me than I could afford to lose |under the circumstances. And ye see, | can’t make fresh blood because my throat is so swelled by the drought I can't

the number of my mess; and, another thing, my heart isn’t altogether set toward living. Sam, here, he gave me me an orJer;

what, didn’t ye hear him! I'll lie to outside the bar,’ says he, ‘till you come out.’ He _ expects me to

come out in his wake. Don't ye Sam— that was ? and he laid his hand gently on) the remains. ‘Now, sir, | shall ax the lady and you a fayor. I want to lie alongside Sam. But # you bury him in the sea, and me ashore, d—n my eyes if 1) shan’t be a thousand years or so before 1) /can find my ovm messmate. Etarnity is a ‘nation big placey¥ am told, a hundred

it he did, and that is enough, for he was & man as never told a lie, nor wasted a word.’

Welch could utter no more just then; fer the glands of his throat were swollen, and he spoke with considerable ditticulty,

What could Hazel reply!’ The jadgment is sometimes ashamed to contradict the heart with cold reasons.

He “only said, with a sigh, that he saw no signs of land, and believed they had gone on a wrong course, and were in the haart of the Pacific.

Weleh made no answer, but a look of good-patured contempt.

The idea of this parson contracting Sam Cooper! _"

The stun broke, and revesled the illimi- table ocean; themselves a tiny speck on it, Mr. Hazel whispered Miss Rolleston that Cooper » ust be buried to-day.

At ten p. m, they passed throngh more sea-weed; but this time they had to.egt sea-spinach raw, as there was very little of it.

At noon the sea was green in places,

Welch told them this was @ sign they were nearing land,

‘At four p. m. a bird, about the size and color cf a woodpecker, settled on the boat's masts,’

Their glittering eyes fastened upen it; and Welch said:

‘Come, there’s a supper for you as can eat it,’

‘No, poor thing!’ said Helen Rolleston.

‘You are right,’ said Hazel, with a cert in eff rt ac eclf-restraint. ‘Let ovr sufferings make us genile, not savage; that poor bad is lost, like us, upon the ocean. It is a land-bird.’

‘How do you know?’

‘Water-birds have webbed feet—to swim with.’

The bird, having rested, flew to the northwest.

Helen, by one of those inspired imp ises her sex have, altered the boat’s course directly and followed the bird.

Half an hour before sunset, Helen Rol- leston, whose vision was very keen, said she saw something at the very verge of the hor- izon, like a hair standing upright.

Hazel looked but could not see any- thing.

In ten minutes more, Helen Rolleston pointed it out again; and then Hazel did see a vertical line, more like a ship’s mast than anything else one would expect to see there.

Their eyes were now strained to make it out, and as the boat advanced, it became more and more palpable, though it was hard to say exactly what it was.

Five minutés before the sun set, the air being clearer ‘than ever, it stood out clean against the sky. A tree—a lofty, solitary tree—with a tall stem, like a column, and branches only at the top.

A palm-tree—in the middle of the Pacific.

Sir Charles Tupper. HE DISCLAIMS ‘‘NEGOTIATIONS —PRESENTED TO THE QUEEN—SPEECH AT BIRMINGHAM.

During a recent intétview Sir Charles is reported to have said that the rumor of his succeeding in negotimting a commercial treaty with France was unfounded. He had not negotiated any treaty, nor had he gone to Frence for any such } urpose

Sir Charles was fornially presented by Lord Lorne to the Qucen as Commissioner for Canada a few days before leay- ing. He expressed to Her Majesty the pleasure of Canadians at their oppor- tunity, by the appointment of Lord Lorne as Governor-General, of showing their at- tachment tothe throne. The Queen, in reply, intimated her great pleasure at the extremeiy hearty reception accorded to her daughter, and her regret at the accident which had prevented the Princess spending as much time as she would have wished among the Canadians. At the close of the interview the Princess Louise, who had been present throughout invited Sir Charles Tupper to see some of the more interesting portions of Windsor Castle. After Lord Lorne’s address at the Birmingham Cattle Show, Sir Charles Tupper spoke. The Morning Post next day said :—‘*We most commend and reciprocate the feeling expressed by the High Com- missioner as to the intimate relations which should subsist between the mother country and the Dominion. Those Englishmen who desire to seek a new home across the Atlantic cannot do better than seek it amongst their own countrymen in Canada, and the speeches delivered yester- day will doubtless mfluence many intending emigrants to look in this direction rather than to transfer their fortunes and their allegiance to a foreign state.”

Mr. Forster stands up for the extension to Ireland of all laws improving the consti- tutional status of the people. All the matlignity that Ireland has poured upon him does not turn him aside a single step from his chivalrous designs for the benefit of that country, and his steady demand for all jastice to it. Mr. Forster declines to allow these beneficent changes to be retarded by fear of the strongth they would undoubted- ly add to Mr. Parnell and his mischief- making party. Mr. Parnell, he thinks, is so cordially hated by the British people that an alliance between them and either
