CHAPTER XXIV.

Anp but for the land-bird which rested on their mast, and for their own mercy in sparing it, they would have passed to the eastward, and never seen that giant palm- tree in mid-ocean.

‘Oh, let us put out all our sails, and fly to it!’ cried Helen.

Welch smiled and said, ‘No, miss, ye mustn’t. Lord love ye; what! run on to a land ye den't know, happy go lucky, in the dark, like that? Lay her head for the tree, and welcome, but you must lower the mainsel, and trebli-reef the foresel; and se creep on a couple of knots an hour, and, by daybreak, you'll find the island close under your lee. Then yon can look out for a safe landing-place.’

‘The island, Mr. Welch! said Helen. ‘There is no island or I should have seen it.’

“Oh, the island was hull down. Why, you don’t think as palm trees grow in the water? You do as I say, or you'll get wrecked on some thundering reef or other.’

Upon this Mr, Hazel and Miss Rolleston set to work, and with considerable difticulty lowered the mainsail, and treble-reefed the foresail.

‘That is right,’ said Welch. ‘To-morrow you'll land in safety, and bury my messmate and me.’

‘Oh, no!’ cried Helen Rolles- ton. ‘We must bury him, but we mean to cure you.’ They obeyed Welch's instructions, and so crept on all night; and, so well had this able seaman calculated dis- tance and rate of sailing, that when the sun rose sure enough there was an island under the lee, distant about a league, though it looked much less. But the palm-tree was nore than twice that distance. Owing to wind and current they had made lee-way all night, and that tree stocd on the most westerly point of the island.

Hazel and Miss Rolleston stood up and hurrahed for joy; then fe!l on their knees in silent gratitude. Welch only smiled. But the breeze had freshened, and, though there were no great waves at sea,

| This cliff was broad and irregular, and |in one of its cavities a cascade of pure, \fresh water came’ sparkling, leaping, and tumbling dewn ‘fo the foot of the rock. | There it had formed a great basin of water, icoul, deep, transparent, which trickled over (on toa tongue of piuk sand, and went in two crystal gutters of the sea.

Even Welch raised himself in the hoat, and sniffed the heavenly air, and smiled at the heavenly spot.

‘Here's a blessed haven!’ said he. ‘Down sail, and row her ashore.”
