| By Charles Reade. CHAPTER XV. (Continued. )

Wylie seemed in no hurry to enter upon the required subject. Said he evas- ively: | ‘Why, guv'nor, it seems to me you are among the breakers here yourself.’ | ‘Nothing of the sort, if you have managed _your work cleverly. Come; tell me all, | before we are interrupted again.’

‘Tell ye all about it?) Why, there’s part on’t | am afraid to think on, let alone talk about it.’

‘Spare me your scruples, and give me your facts,’ said Wardlaw coldly. ‘First of all, did you succeed in shifting the bullion as agreed!’

The sailor appeared relieved by this ques- tion.

‘Oh, that is all right,’ said he, ‘I got the bullion safe aboard the ‘Shannon,’ marked for lead.’

‘And the lead on board the ‘Proserpine.’

‘Aye, shipped as bullion.’

‘Without suspicion ?

‘Not quite.’

‘Great Heaven! Who?’

‘One clerk at the shipping-agent’s scented something queer, I think. James Seaton. That was the name he went by !’

‘Could he prove anything?!’

‘Nothing. He knew nothing for certain and what he guessed won't never be known in England now.’

And Wylie fidgetted in his chair.

Notwithstanding this assurance, Wardiaw looked grave, and took a note of the clerk’s name. Then he begged Wylie to go on.

‘Give me all the details,’ said he. ‘Leave me to jndge their relative value. You scuttled the ship?’

‘Don’t say that! don’t say that!’ cried Wylie, in a low but eager voice. ‘Stone walls have ears.’ Then, rather more loudly than was necessary: ‘Ship sprung a leak that neither the captain, nor I, nor any- body could find, to stop. Me, and my men, we all think her seams opened with stress of weather.” Then, lowering his voice again: ‘Try and see it as we do; and don’t you ever use such a word as that what come out of your lips just now. We pumped her hard; but it warn’t no use. She filled, and we had to take to the boats.’

‘Stop a moment. cion excited!’

‘Not among the crew; and, suppose there was, I couvld talk ‘em all over or buy ‘em all over, what few of ‘em’s left. I've got ‘em ail with me in one house, and they are all square, don’t you fear.’ pete Seat

‘Well, but you said ‘among the crew!’ Whom else can we have to fear?’

‘Why, nobody, ‘To be sure one of the passengers was done oa me; but what does that matter now?

‘It matters greatly—it matters terribly! Who was this passenger?’

‘He called himself the Rev. John Hazel. He suspected something or other, and what with listening here, and watching there, he judged the ship wasnever to see England, and I always fancied he told the lady.’

‘What! was there a lady there?’

‘Aye, worse luck, sir—and a pretty girl she was, coming home to England to die of consumption, so our surgeon told me.’

‘Well, never mind her, The clergyman? This fills me with anxiety. A clerk sus- pecting us at Sydney, and a passenger sus- pecting usin the vessel. There are two witnesses against us already.’

‘No—only one.’

‘How do you make that out?

‘Why, White’s clerk and the parson, they was ohne man,’

Wardlaw stared in utter amazement,

‘Don’t you believe me? said Wylie, ‘I tell ye that there clerk boarded us under an alias. He had shaved off his beard; but bless my heart, | knew him, directly.’

‘He came to verify his suspicions,’ sug- gested Wardlaw, in a faint voice.

‘Not he. He came for love of the sick girl and nothing else; and you'll never see either him or her, if that is any com- fort to you.’

‘Be good enough to conceal nothing. Facts must be faced,’

‘That is too true, sir. Well, we aban- doned her and took to the boats.” I com- manded one.’

‘And Hudson the other ?’

Was there any suspi-

Who can suspect Hudson in the teeth of such a fact? Now pray go on, my good Wylie, the boats ?’ .

‘Well, sir, | had the surgeon, and ten men, and the lady's maid, on board the long-boat; and there was the parson, the sick lady, and five sailers aboard the cutter, We ssiled together till night, steering for Juan Fernandez; then a fog came on and we lost sight of the cutter, and] alvered my mind and judged it best to beat to win’ard, and get into the track of the ships. Which we did, and were nearly swamped in a sou’- wester; but by good luck, a. Yankee whaler vicked us wp, and took us to Buenos Ayres, where we shipped fur England, what was left of us, only four besides myself; but I vot the signatures of the others to my tale of the wreck. It is all as‘square as a die, [ tell you.’

‘Well done. Well done. But stop! the other boat with the sham parson on board, who knows all.; Ste will be picked up, too perhaps.’

‘There is no chance for that. She was out of the tracks of trade; aud T'll telt ye truth, sir.” He poured ont a half a tum- bler of brandy, and drank @ part of it; and now for the first time his hand trembled as he lifted the glass. ‘Some fool had put the main of her provisions aboard; the long boat; that is what sticks to me, and. won't let me sleep. We took a chance, but we didn’t give one.. I think I told you there was a woman aboard the cutter, that sick girl, sir. Oh, but it was hard’ imes for her,. poor thing. I see her pale and calm; oh, Lord, so pale and calm; every night of my life; she kneeled aboard .the cutter with her white hands clasped together, praying.’

‘Certainly, it is all very shocking,’ said Wardlaw; ‘but then you know; if they had escaped, they wonld have exposed us. Be- lieve me, it is all for the best.’

Wylie looked at him with wonder.

‘Aye,’ said he, after staring at him in wonder; ‘you can sit here at your ease, and doom a ship, and risk, her people’s lives, but if you had to do it, and see it, and then lie awake thinking of it, you'd wish all the gould on earth had been in hell before you put your hand to such a piece of work.’

Wardlaw smiled a ghastly smile,

‘In short,’ said he, ‘you don’t mean to take the three thousand pounds I pay you for this little job.’ ‘Oh, yes, | do; but for all the gold in Victoria I wouldn’t do such a job again. And you mark my words, sir, we shall get the money, and nobody will ever be the wiser.’ Wardlaw rubbed his hands com- placently; his egotism, coupled. with | his want of imagination, nearly blinded him to everything but the pecumary feature of. the business. ‘But,’ continued Wylie, ‘we shall never thrive on it. We have sanka good ship, and we have as good as murdered a poor dying girl.’

‘Hold your tongue, you fool!’ cried Wardlaw, losing his sang froid in a moment, for he heard somebody at the door.

It opened, and there stood a military figure in a travelling cap—General Rol- leston.

‘Hudson! No.’

‘Why, how was that? And what has become of him ?

‘What has become of Hudson?’ said Wylie, with astart. ‘There's a question ! And nota drop to wet my lips and warm my heart. Is this a tale to telldry? Can’t ye spare a drop of brandy to a poorjdevil that has earned ye £150.000, and risked his life and wrecked his seul to do it.’

Wardlaw cast a glance of contempt on him, but got up and speedily put a bottie of old braudy, a tumbler, and a caraffe of water on the table before him,

Wylie drank a wineglassful neat, and gave a sort of sign of satisfaction. And then ensued a dialogue, in which, curiously enough, the brave man was agitated, and the timid man was coo! and collected. But one reason was, che latter had not imagina- tion enough to realize things unseen, though he caused them.

Wylie told him how Hudson got to the bottle, and would not leave the ship.

‘I think I see him now, with his cutlass in one hand and his rum-bottle in the other, and the waves running over his poor, silly face as she went down, Poor Hiram! he and I had many a trip together, before we got to this,’

And Wylie shuddered, and took another gulp at the brandy,

While he was drinking to drown the picture, Wardlaw was calmly reflecting on the bare fact.
