THE PIRATE.

CHAPTER XXXIIL. (Continued )

So saying, she arose and left the apartment, where Mordaunt remained alone to meditate at leisure upon the extraordinary communica- tion which he had received, He himself had been taught by his father a disbeiief in the ordinary superstitions of Zetland; and he now saw that Norna, however ingenious in duping others, could not altogether impose on herself. This was a strong circumstance in favor of her sanity of intellect; Sut, on the other sand, her imputing to herscif the guilt of parricide seemed so wild and improbable, as, in Mor- daunt’s opinion, to ‘throw much doubt upon her other assertions,

He had leisure enough to make up his mind on these particulars, for no one approached the solitary dwelling, of which Norna, her dwarf, and he himself were the sole inhabi- tants. The Holy island in which it stood is rude, bold and lofty, consisting extirely of three hills—or rather one huge mountain divided into three summits, with the chasms, rents and valleys, which deseended from its summit to the sea, while its crest rising to great height, and shivered into rocks which seem almost inacessible, intercepts the mists as they drive from the Atlantic, and often obscured from the human eye, forms the dark and unmolested retreat of hawks, eagles, and other birds of prey.

The soil of the island is wet, mossy, cold, and unproductive, presenting a sterile and de- solate appearance, excepting where the sides of small rivulets, or mountain ravines, are fringed with dwarf bushes cf birch, hazel, and wild currant, some of them so tall as to be denominated trees, in that bleak and bare courtry.

But the view of the sea beach, which was Mordaunt’s favorite walk, when his conval- scent state begin to permit him to take exer- cise, had charms which compensated the wild uppearance of the interior, A broad and beautiful sound, or strait divides this lonely and mountainous island from Pomona, and in the centre of that sound lies, like a tablet composed of emerald, the beautiful little island of Gremsay. On the distant Mainland is seen the town or village cf Stromness, the excellence of whose haven is generally evinced by a considerable number of shipping in the roadstead, and, from the bay growing narrow- er, and lessening, as it recedes, runs inland into Pomona, where its tide fills the fine sheet of water called the Loch of Stennis.

On this beach Mordaunt was wont to wan- der for hours, with an eye not insensible to the beauties of the view, though bis thoughts were agitated with the most embarassing meditations on his own situation. He was resolved to leave the island as soon as the es- tablisment of his health should permit him to travel; yet gratitude to Norna, of whom

/ he was at least the adopted, if not the real |P

son, would not allow him to depart without her permission, even if he couid obtain means of conveyance, of which he saw little possi- bility. It wasonly by importunity that he extorted-from his hostess a promise, that, if he would consent to regulate his motions ac- cording to her directions, she weuld berself convey him to the capital of the Orkney Islands, when the approaching Fair of Saint Vila should take place there.

orn Captivity, a Poem.

When Cleveland, borne off in triumph from his assailants in Kirkwall, found himself onee more on board the pirate vessel, his arrival was hailed with hearty cheers by a considerable part of the crew, who rushed to shake hands with him, and offer their von- gratulations.on his return ; for the situation of a Bucanier Captain raised him very little above the level with the lowest of his crew, who, in all social intercourse, claimed the privilege of being his equal.

When his factien, for so these clamorous friends might be termed, had expressed their own greetings, they hurried Cleveland for- werd to the stern, where Goffe, their present commander, was seated on a gun, listening in a suilen and discontented manner to the shout which announced Cleveland's welcome. He was a man betwixt torty and fifty, rather under the middle size, but so very strongly made, that his crew used to compare him to a sixty-four cut down. Black-haired, bull- necked, and beetle-browed, his clumsy strength and ferocious countenance contrasted strongly with the manly figure avd open countenance of Cleveland, in which even the practice of his atrocious profession had not been able to eradicate a natural grace of motion and generosity of expression. The two piratical Captains looked upon each other for some time in silence, while the partisans of each gathered around him. The elder part of the crew were the principal ad- theherents of Goffe, while young fellows, amongst. whom Jack Bunce was 4 principal leader and agitator, were in general attached to Cleveland.

At length Goffe broke sileace. ‘‘ You are welcome aboard, Captain Cleveland.—Smash my taffrail! I suppose you think yourself commodore yet ! but that was over, by G-~, when you lost your ship, and be d—d !”

And here, once for all, we may take notice, that it was the gracious custom of this commander to mix his words and oath in nearly equal proportion, which he was wont to call shotting his discourse. As we delight not, however, in the discharge of such artillery, we shall only indicate by # space like this——the places in which these ex. pletives vccurred ; and thus, ifthe reader will

ptain Goffs, — of sharp-shot into an explosion of blank cartridges. To his insinuations that he was come on board to assume the chief command, Cleveland replied, that he neither desired, nor would accept, any such promotion, but would only ask Captain Goffe for a cast to the boat, to put him ashore in one of the other islands, as he had no wish either to command Goffe, or to remain in a vessel under his orders.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

The Naufrage Hart... Meeting.

Str,—The childish and rambling letter signed ‘*Naufrage,” in the Patriot of the 16th, would not be worth noticing only that it is written for the evident purpose of throwing cold water on ihe coject of the meeting held on the 8th inst. at Bear River School House, viz.: to discuss the prac- ticability of converting Naufrage Pond into a harbor for boats and small craft. And now let us see what ‘‘ Naufrage” has to suy for himself. ‘‘Some days ago, the 8th I believe, | happened to be present at & meeting,” writes the Patriot scribe. He believes it was the 8th, but is not very sure about it. If he does not know the ‘date ot the meeting after having come such a long distance to attend it, how can he expect us to accept him as an authority upon what was said by the several s ers who ad- dressed it? In his second sentence he tells us the object of the meeting was to petition the Dominion government. Stu- pidity again. The meeting wascalled for no such pu , a8 any one may see who reads the resolutions passed thereat. Next he cells us that he learned at the meeting that & report had been made on the pro work by an Engineer in 1885. e, it seems, never heard abowt the report til! he came to the meeting,and this, too, notwith- standing the fact that he is a representative of the County. How very unsophisticated he must be! He ought to have known that ape Serene accommoarion so much needed at Naufrage was petitioned for long : that deslen the McKenzie Administration & petition numerously signed by the in- habitants of the North side was forwarded to the Public Works Department ; that ac- companying this petition was a pledge from the petitioners that cash oad voluntary labor would be contributed towards the roposed work to the amount of $700; that the said petition and promise to contribute were sent to Dr. McIntyre, then as now, an M. P. for the County; that no notice what- ever was taken then of the reasonable re- quest and liberal offer of those interested in the proposed work; and that, subso- uently, another petition was sent to the

ubli¢ Works Department under the present Administration, which resulted in a survey being made by one of the Engineers of that Department.

All this ‘‘ Naufrage" pretends te have known nothing about till he came to the meeting, where he ‘‘ learned,” &c. But the true animus of his letter is inly seen a little further on. Dr. Muttart isin his way, and while isi.g all the other speakeis, himself included, this gen- tleman must be singled out for misrepre- sentation and abuse. Dr. Muttart was well received at the meeting and loudly ap- plauded at the close of his remarks. ‘* Naufrage ” must have had very little to do when he drove about thirty miles to attend a meeting to ‘‘learn,” &., and to belie his political oppenent. ‘The engi- neer,” he sid, *‘staid at his house.” and hence the unfavorable report. This is the sum and substance of ** Naufrage’s ' charge against Dr. Muttart. Anything more con- temptible it would be hard to imagine. The engineer did not stay at Dr. Muttart’s while making Naufrage survey, vor did Dr. Muttart state at che meeting that he did. What the Doctor did say was that Mr. Shewan called at his house on his return from making the survey, and that he ex- Froneed much sympathy forthe people of

aufrage on account of the great dissdvan- tages under which they lab red for waut of harbor accommodation. it must, however, be borne in mind that, no matter how favorably Mr. Shewan felt towards the proposed works, his survey had to be pro- nounced upon by his superior in office, Mir. Perley, whose name is signed to the “report read at the meeting.” Mr. Per- ley, it will be remenbered, was Chief Engineer of Public Works under the Mac- kenzie Administration, but it would be very unfair to say that his reports were, on that account, colored to suit political circum- stances. ‘

In concluding his letter, “*‘ Naufrage” displays far lesz tact as politician than one would naturally expect from such a character. After vainly boasting of the few little remarks that he made at the meeting, he must needs then ‘ put his foot in it,” ashe himself elegantly has it, by notifying the Dominion Government, in advance, that the Naufrage people who are now looking for public improvements are **nearly solidly Liberal,” and therefore intensely hostile to the present Adminis- tration! Although such stupid statements are always aptto do injury, itis to be hoped that no notice will be taken of them in this instance by those who have charge of the purse strings. Let me inform the Patriot correspondent that however in- iouaiews his boast may be, the people of

aufrage and vivinity are not so ‘* solidly Liberal” as he fancies they are. Many of them, it is true, belonged to the old Liberai Party, and although some still cling to the traditions of that Party, there are none among them so idiiberal as to be impervious to coaviction or blind to the best interests of the country.

I remain, yours, etc.,
