have a night at sea, when the captain gave the order to put the helm hard |} down. We swung round and sped on a landward course, sailing free and very swift.

“We shall make land a good hour ere sundown,” said the captain to his chief officer, giving me the first au- | thentice information of the day. By this time my faculty of curiosity | had lost its edge, but at the mention of land I sat up to keep a lookout, and in less than an hour we sighted the

shore. The general character resem- bled that of the part we had left earlier in the day, though I soon saw |

we were not returning to the death | scene of the luckless Bird of Paradise. Instead of a shallow beach the water ran close to high rocks, penetrated by rugged gorges, into which the sea fiowed. No port, town, or human hab- itation was to be seen. But that, all things ccensidered, was not surprising. | We shot into a narrow opening under the darkening brows of lofty cliffs, and immediately the sails fell together with a tiap. Almost before they ceased fiut- tering they were in and furled. Then a boat was lowered, half a dozen steel sinewed men got into it, and rowed, pul- ling the ship by a cable. Light and of small draught, she followed easily, and in half an hour or so, after manifold windings, we came to a rude jetty, hewn, as it appeared, out of the solid rock. Here we disembarked, the ves- sel being made fast to a rough stone piliar.

As we leaped from the bulwarks to the ledges of rock that formed the pier, my heart beat quickly with con- jecture and apprehension, for it was plain that a crisis was at hand. To guess what it might be was enough to make the stoutest tremble. The vlack precipices, the yawning caverns,

and hoarse roar of warring waters were of evil suggestion, but of far darker import than any menace or

ugliness of nature were the lowering faces of my companions. These men had shown during the day, by a hun- dred expressive tokens, that they re- sented iny presence among them, and mow I fancied I caught them casting sideiong looks at one another, thenet their weapons, then at me, as if set- tling by such glances of the manner of getting rid of me. With quaking limbs and the worst foreboiings, I fell into line at the bid- ding of the captain, and we struck, single file, into a craggy path, at its best no broader than a sheep run the Highlands, and in places so nar- row as scarcely to afford foothold for @ weasel. Looking upward from the bottom one could not imagine how scaled the darkening precipices frowned upon us in vast swellings and

Our ribbon of a nath wound in crazy coilines and twistings, now rising ver- tically in steps higher than our heads, row dropping treacherously at a criti- cal point, ceasing suddenly and again appearing beyond some perilous pro- jection that a chamois would hardly have attempted to pass Often we head to go on our hands and knees,

I was a hunter and knew what was to tread dizzy wavs. I had fol- lewed the fox to his lair when the hounds had turned tail and robbed the eagle’s eyrie when the hardiest of my companions stood holding breath in awe. But the self-posses- sion and free spirit of audacity which prompted to such hazards and gave them relish were utteriv gone. To speak the truth I shivered like one sud- denly take with an ague.

The tremours and | shakings, the alternate spasms of heat and cold, were due—I trust it is not | cowardly to confess it—not to the threatenings of cliff and chasm, but to the hostile weapons that gleamed in front and rear and might at any mcment be dyed in my blood. _

How easy it would be to prod me there and send me toppling mortally wounded into the abyss, to be ground as between millstones at the bottom ! A sudden stab in the back, a push, a giddy, headlong fall, and the deed would be done, and no word of it need ever get-to the outside world. Mere

I clung to the rocks shuddering like a child in mortal fright. The grue- scmeness of tre situation was en- hanced, too, by the eerie shadow of light. Here and there buttress and jutting promontory flushed into rose and shone in gold and amethyst, but these points of radiance only gave hideous emphasis to the prevailing gloom of the gorge. They were like the ghastly mockeries of a world I rad once known, but was never to know e2gain.

I am no judge of how long or how far we had struggled when upon turn- ing a sharp angle we came upon an open space, or circular ledge, of the dimensions of a small room. Here we stopped, our sides heaving like t} flanks of a spent hound, and the best

They bandaged my eyes, and bound my hand: to my _ sides, and thus made helpless, left me _ standing. I

shut my lips tigit and my eyes also, although they were covered, and awaited the fatal thrust and giddy whirl into space. Not a word was spoken. I heard the rustle of ger- ments and the rattle of arms, and away below the sullen, mufiled voice of the sea, but other scund there was none. The ill-boding silence was more

terrifying than the menacing tongues of a hundred enemies. It was the very extremity of torture to have my captors make their arrangemepts for cisposing of me with such secrecy.

In the crowding fears and agitations the idea flashed upon me that they meant not only to slay but to torture me. I thought of all I had read about living men being flayed and cut into bits by savages, and my flesh crept and shrank as if at the touch of the It was only by keeping teeth and lips clenched that I managed to hold from venting my agony in shrieks.

To my great astonishment and unut- terable relief, the procession began to move on again, I being given the muzzle of a musket to direct my steps.
