THE PIRATE'S TREASURE, A TALE OF GRAND MANAN.

BY M. Il. PERLEY, FSQ.

Bat few, even the inhabitants of New Brunswick, are acquainted with the wild and picturesque beauties of the Island of Grand Manan ; for the the dread with which it has been regarded by “ tempest tossed” mariners has tended to vender it a place rather to be shunned than visited. Yet no Island on the ecast of British North America can boast of more bold and striking scenery than is presented by its north- crn shores, whose stupendous cliffs oppose their rugged breast to the wild howling of the winter's blast, while the angry and icy waves of the Bay of Fandy rush upon them, for months together, with sullen and unceasing roar. The south- ern shore slopes gradusily to the Atlantic Ocean, and is pro- vided with many good harbours, which in the summer seasan are the resort of namerous fishing vessels, and they are sur- rounded by neat and well cultivated farms, But of all the singular piaees in this singular Island, none is more curious than Dark Harbor, completely closed against the entrance of boats or vessels, by a sea wall of stone and gravel, thrown up by the constant action of the waves, until a dry beach, or sea-wall has been formed, over which the sea does not pass, even at high water, the inner harbor is therefore cut off from the sea by this dike of nature's own formation.

Not feellng competent to describe the main beauties of Grand Manan, from having but a slight acquaintance with them, yet L may say that a summer visit to its wild and rocky shores would be a pleasant excursion—one which would amply repay the visitant, particularly if he be an ad- mirer of nature, in some of her most fantastic freaks, My own Visit to this secluded portion of New Bruinswick was not a summer one, but occurred in November 1828, when busitf@ss called me to visit its surf-beaten shore, at an un- usually boisterous period. Tempestuous weather detained me

Such relief as could be afforded was immediately given, and in broken English, and at inter. vals, he stated who and what he was, giving the foregoing detail. In a few hours, however, it was apparent that he was fast approaching his end: and during the night which followed, he died raving mad, denouncing the bitterest curse on the treasure, and on all who might ever attempt to regain It. near the spot where he died; and had since unsuccessfuly attempted to recover the jewels and plate, of which, it is believed, the treasure principally consisted. Numerous as has been the seekers after this ill-gotten and blood-stained wealth, it had invaribly happened that, very soon after their researches, that they had met with an untimely end, and it had become the firm belief on the Island, that such would be the fate of all whe ventured to follow their example. This belief had become so well established, that for many years none had been fool-hardy enough to seck for the fatal spoils ; and they rested secure where they were coucealed by the pirate boats-

wain. : At the conclusion of the story, I noticed that young Jobn- stone smiled credulously ; and giving him a sign, I walked out of the house, and in a few minutes was followed by him.

success rendered me more ardent in pursuit of information.

I had taken up my quarters at the house of a fisherman named Johnstone, a rough and kind-hearted old fellow, and | a sort of “ Dandy Dinmont” in the Island ; clear-hearted | and skrewd in all matters within the scope of his limited information, but ignorant of all beyond its sphere ; of tall and powerful frame—of strong and manly cast of features, bronzed by the exposure of half a eentury to the war of ele- ments, both of sea and Jand. Lis faniily consisted of one son and three daughters, his son, an athletic, well-built young man of two and twenty, mate of a West Indiaman, who had acquired some information from having seen a little of the world, and who laughed at the marvellous stories told by the Islanders. The two eldest daughters were good looking, | cheerful lasses; but the third and youngest deserves a more particular description. She was rather below than above the middle height, with a figure so light, that the idea of weakness voluntarily rose in the mind, until chased away by the well rounded symmetry of that little person ; then would he admired the clear, healthy glow of her cheek—the light springing step, and the merry glance of sparkling, good naturedly wicked black eyes, with the prettiest dimple on each side of the prettiest little mouth in the world. Her features could not be called strictly or classically beautiful, yet L have never seen among the high titled dames who imagine beauty to be their peculiar prerogative, any whose features were so fascinating, or whose smile was so captivating, as those of the fisherman's daughter. Of a lively and happy temperament, her very laugh still rings in my ears, and, in fancy, I yet hear the wild but sweet notes as she carolled away in the innocent gaicty of her heart, unconsciously giving utterance to the expression of her happiness.

When the stormy winds of winter have stripped the forest of its verdure, we do not readily perceive that the tall and gnarled oak, and the slight and graceful sappling by its side, had sprung from the same stock; but when the genial warmth of spring has again clothed both with the same bright foliage, the relation is at once recognised. Such was the re- semblance of Alice to her father; when the features of both were ina state of quictude, it would have been difficult to trace in the bright countenance of Alice any resemblance to the somewhat stern features of the old man ; but when he relaxed info a smile, and Aer features were lit up by some piece of merriment, the resemblance was most striking.

After having thoroughly fatigued myself, one bleak and stormy day, by serambling over the rocks, in an unsuccessful attempt to shoot wild ducks, I returned late in the evening to my quarters; and while a homely but substantial repast was preparing, my dripping garments were changed, and the meal which followed was heartily enjoyed. Then the family gathered around a huge fire-place, piled with blazing logs, in 3 large apartment which served both as kitchen and hall, and the Johnstones, father and son, with myself, were each fur- nished with a capacious can of whiskey-toddy, smoking hot. In answer to the inquiry where I had been all day, I endea- youred to deseribe the various scenes | had visited in my ramles, but on mentioning one spot which had particularly struck me, from its strange and gloomy scenery, I observed the smile of Alice (L like to write that name!) suddenly change to a more serious expression, as she gravely remarked, *« You have been at the Dark Harbor!” Her manner exci- ted my curiosity, and I soon drew from the elder Johnstone, who, cane in hand, was just in the humor for story telling, the following tale of guilt and fear, connected with the dreary shadows of Dark Harbor.

About the year 1776, in the earliest settlement of New Brunswick, a pirate vessel which had been pursuing its bloody course near the Spanish main, found it expedient to withdraw, for a season, from the scene of its daring exploits, and pur- suing a northern course, fell in with the Island of Grand Manan. Finding it very quiet and secladed, the crew re- solved on wintering in the outer cove of Dark Harbor, and the necessary preparations were made for that purpose. ‘The vessel was snugly secured, and all looked forward to a long continuance of rest and revelry. But the short gloomy days, and loug dark nights of a northern winter, soon affected the spirits of theerew. The wearisome monotony of such a life to men who had for years been constantly engaged in scenes of turmoil and excitement, was excessively galliag and irritating ; and jealousy and ill-feeling, not amounting to an open quarrel, arose among the various members of the crew, which was composed of all nations, climates, and colors, Several Span- ijards who were on board, headed by the boatswain, one of

their own countrymen, determined upon leaving the ship, and

He ridiculed the idea of there being any danger in searching

‘for the treasure, and we agreed to go that night to Dark Har-

bor, to be enabled to refute, positively, the assertion, that super-

| natural agency was employed to guard it. We returned to the

house, and waited patiently until the whole family had retired to rest; then, slipping out, we proceeded to the beech, and launching a light skiff, were just pushing off, when we were most unexpectedly joined by Alice, who said she overheard, and knew our purpose, and was resolved to share in its dan- gers. Finding, after some remonstrance, that she had deter- mined we should not go unless she accompanied us, we seated her in the stern of the skiff, and pulled rapidly along the shore about three miles, to the entrance of the narrow channel leading through the bank, or sea wall, which channel has since been completely closed. The night was calm and still, aud the mocn at full afforded ample light for our voyage. After running up this channel, the outer harbor. as it is called, suddenly opened into a basin of deep water, above half a mile diameter, from the land side of which another passage, or natural canal, led us into Dark Harbor. This last passage was so narrow that the trees on each side obscured the light. For a few minutes we were nearly in total darkness, and the basin we next opened seemed not more than a few acres in extent. Dark Harbor well deserved its name; the water, although clear, appeared of an unearthly pale bluish color ; lofty pines grew to the very verge of the water all around, and every part of the scene, under that bright moonlight, was really and truly beautiful—yct the impression on our minds, although unacknowledged, was one of awe and dread. Two immeuse blackened pines, standing one on each stde of the entrance, said to have been scathed by lightning, ap- peared fit guardians of the place ; their lengthened shadows, thrown upon the water, assumed to our imagination the form of a gigantic hand, pointing to the narrow strait by which we had entered,and warned us to begone. Not a word was spoken, and not a sound, save the light dash of our oars, broke the stern silence of the place, until we landed, and en- deavoured to penetrate to the spot where the treasure was said to be concealed; when, as if heaven were displeased with our impious attempt, the moon was suddenly overcast, and we were left in darkness. We were on the point of returning, when Alice refused to do so, saying we must persevere, and that, if we now turned back, we should be laughed at for our cowardice, and scolded well for our rashness. She produced her father’s pocket-flask, which she had brought with her, and a sup or two of it assisted in. screwing up our courage.

We again set forward, and the moon partially appearing, we were enabled to grope our way, and soon arrived at the place we sought. It was a sweet secluded little forest glade ; and apart from its horrible association, it afforded as peaceful and calm a scene of sylvan beauty as could well be imagined. This treacherous peace was, however, of a short duration ; for as soon as we began to clear away some brushwood, in order to commence our operations, a low moaning sound was heard. We still persevered ; but, at the first blow of the pick- axe the moaning was redoubled; and though there was no other indication of the wind having riscu, the trees about us began to sway their branches to and fro, to creak and groan, and as it seemed, even to laugh in fiend-like mockery and derision. 1 threw down the pick, which was instantly seized by Alice, and, with strength of which I could not suppose her possessed, at one blow she broke through a slab of stone. Loud and distinct groans, and a dry rattling succeeded, and we perceived, to our horror, that we had disturbed one of the respositories of the murdered dead! The broken moonlight exhibited fitfully the ghastly hue of the skeleton, which seemed to move and crawl in its narrow bed, as the moving branches first intercepted, and then admitted the struggling moonbeams upon the whitened bones !

Hastily covering up the unballowed grave, we again tried in another spot. At first all was quiet; the sound of our implements alone disturbing the stiliness of the night, until my spade struck a hard substance, which returned a ringing noise, like a muflled bell ; and we hoped we had at last found the steel casket, in which the most valuable of the jewels were said to be contained. At this momeut a pale flame played about our heads, and lit up the scene around us with a most unearthly glare! Confused cries, balf in mockery, half in horror, rang in our ears: and even Alice, whose almost supernatural courage | have already mentioned, broke into a shriek of terror. A cold clamy, death-like hand was laid upon my face, and I felt myself in the grasp of a being of another world—when suddenly the voice of old Johnstone

ead!’

And, most unaccountably, I found myself seated at the old man’s kitchen fire, from whence I had started so long before,

at once removed their wealth ov shore, where they built a} with a crowd of grinning faces around me, endeavouring to camp and spent their days in idleness and drunken revelry, | suppress the mirth, evidently excited at my expense, in which
