CHAPTER LXY.

(Continued. )

One morning he saw about a million birds very busy in the bay, and it proved to be a spermaceti whale came ashore,

He went out to her directly with all his tools, for he wanted oii for his enterprise, and the sea oil was exhausted.

When he got near the whale in his boat, he observed a harpoon sticking in the apimal’s back, He cut steps with his axe in the slippery carcass, and got up to it as well as he could, extracted it by eutting and pulling, and threw it down into his boat, but not until he had taken the pre- caution to stick a great piece of blubber on the barbed point. He then sawed and hacked under difficulties, being bufletted and bothered with thousands of birds, so eager for slices that it was as much as he coild do to avoid the making of minced fowl; but, true to his gentle creed, he con- trived to get three hundred-weight of blub- ber without downright killing any of these greedy competitors, though he buffetted some of them, and nearly knocked ont what little sense they had. He came ashore with his blubber and harpoon, and when he came to examine the latter he, found that the name of the owner was cut deepin the stee!—Josh. Fullalove, J. Fernandez. This inscription had a great effect on Robert Penfold’s mind. Tt seemed to bring the Island of Juan Fernandez, and humanity in general, nearer to him.

He boiled down the blubber, and put a barrel of oil on board his life-boat. He had a ship’s lantern to burn it in. He also pitched her bottom as far as he could get at it, and provisioned her for a long voyage; taking care to lash the water-cask and beef- cask to the fore-thwart and foremast, in case of reongh weather.

When he had done all this, it occurred to ham suddenly, that, should he ever eseape the winds and waves. and get to Enyland, Le would then have to encounter difficul- ties and dangers of avether class, and lose the battle by his poverty.

‘I play my Jast stake now,’ said he. ‘1 will throw po chance away.’

He reflected with great bitterness on the misery that want of money had already brought on him; and he vowed to reach England rich, or go to the bottom of the Pacitie.

This may seem a strang vow for a man to make on an unknown island; but Robert Penfold had a powerful understanding, sharpened by adversity, and his judgement told him truly that he possessed wealth on this island, both directly and indirectly. In the first place, knowledge is sometimes wealth, and the knowledge of this island was a thing he could sell to the American merchants on the coast of Chili; and, with this view, he put on board his boat speci- mens of the cassia and other woods, fruit, spices, pitch, guano, pink and red coral, pearl oysters, shells, cochineal, quartz, cotton, etc., etr.

Then he took his chisel, and struck all the larger pearls off the shells that lined Helen’s cave. - The walls and roof yielded nine enormous pearls, thirty large ones, and a great many of the usual size. He made a pocket inside his waistcoat to hold the pearls safe.

Then he took his spade and dug into the Spanish ship for treasure. But this was terrible work; and the sand returned upon the spade and trebled his Jsbor.

The condition to which time and long submersion had reduced this ship, was truly remarkable, Nothing to be seen of the deck but a thin brown streak that mingled with the sand in patches; of the timbers nothing remained but the uprights, and of those the larger half were eaten and dissolved.

He dug for five days and found nothing solid.

On the sixth, being now at the bottom of the ship, he struck his spade against something hard and heavy.

On inspection it looked like ore, but of what metal he could not tell; it was as black as a coal. He threw this on one side, and found nothing more; but the next day he found a smallec fragment, which he took home and cleaned with lime juice. It came out bright in places like silver,

This discovery threw light on the other. The piece of black ore weighing about seven pounds, was silver coin that a century of submersion had reduced to the very ap- pearance it wore before it ever went into the furnace

He dug with fresh energy on this dis- covery, but found nothing more in the ship that day.

Then it occurred to him to carry off a few hundred weight of pink coral.

He got some fine specimens; and, while he was at that work, he fell in with a piece that looked very solid at the rcot and an- naturally heavy. On a nearer examination this proved to bea foreign substance en- crusted with coral It had twined, and twisted, and curled over the thing in a most unheard-of way. Robert took it home, and by rubbing here and there with lemon-juice, at last satisfied himself thar this object was a silver box about the size of an octavo volume.

It had no key-hole, had evidently been soldered up for greater security, and Robert was left to conjecture how it had come there.

He connected it at once with the ship, and felt assured that some attempt bad been made to saveit. There it had lain by the side of the vessel all these years, bat, falling clear of the sand, had been embraced by the growing coral, and was now a curiosity, if not a treasure.

He world not break the coral, but put it on board the life-boat just as it was.

Aud now he dug no more. He thought

‘he could aell the galleon as wel: as the}

island, by sample, anu he was impatient to be gone.

He rvprewched himself, a htce unjustly,

ree moos

for allowing a woman to undertakr the task of clearing him.

‘To what annoyances, and perhaps affronts, have I exposed her,’ said he. ‘No, it is a man’s business to defend, not to be defended.’

To conclude: At high tide one fine after- noon he went on board with Ponto, and, hoisting his foresail only crossed the bay, ranging along the island till he reached the blaff. He got under this, and, by means Of his compass and previous obser- vations, set the boat’s head exactly on the line the ducks used to take. Then he set his mainsail, too, and stretched boldly out across the great Pacific Ocean.

Time seems to wear out everything, even bad luck. It ran strong against Robert Penfold for years; but, when it had struck its worst blow and parted him and Helen Rolleston, it relaxed, and the tide of good luck set in, which, unfortunately, the broken-hearted man could not appreciate at the time. However, so it was. He wanted oil ; and a whale came ashore. He wanted treasure, and the sea gave him a little back of all it had swallowed; and now he wanted fine weather, and the ocean for days and nights was like peach-colored grass, dimpled here and there; and soft westerly airs fanned him along by night and day.

(To be continued.)

LETTERS T THe EDITOR,

The King’s County Inspector.

tir,—I observed in your issue of the 8th inst., certain resolutions passed at the Con- vention of the Temperance Alliance, held at Charlottetown, on Thareday, March 6th, when my name was, |] think, unjustifiably alluded to. My appoietment to the office of Chief [uspector was uot of my seeking; but a ma-

jorty of the License Commissioners are yeatle- men uudec whom I bave served in another capacity for very many years past. The fait)

ful discharge ot the autres Asi ihe We, ur- ipg these yeare, was, 1 believe to them, a guarantee that the duties of the offive of

License lispector would be as faithfully and efficiently Cischaryed. One of the cianses of the resolutions reterred to, says: lt hae been

shown to this Convention that he (McKinnon) is violeritly opposed to the carrying out of the provisions of the Canada Temperance Act. 1 de say that the sweeping charge contained in the above quotation is uvfounded and cannot truthfully be shown I deny that I am violently oppoced to the enforcement of the Temperarce Act. However, | might doubt the efficiency of some of its provisions for the suppression of the liquor traffic. lin common with all right thinking persons in the com- munity, believe that it should, being the law of the land, be vigorously and impartially en forced. 1 will go further and say that if pro- hibition should become the !aw, it would have my hearty support.

I cannot understood how my “antecedents” have “‘identified” me with liquor sellers. I have not, in any form, the most remote in- terest with liquor sellers, ncr have I been engaged in any way in the traffic; therefore, I fail to see the justice of dragving into the deliberations and resolutions a so influential and respectable an o-ganization asthe Tem- perance Alliance, unsupported assertions re- flecting upon the character and antecedents of anyone. Since my appointment, I have five cases for alleged violation of the law pending before the Magistrates, which would have been decided ere this, but for the recent stormy weather, which rendered it next to impossible for witnesses at a distance to appear. I have taken steps to secure their appearance on the 15th imst., to which day the Court is adjourned, The promptnesa with which | instituted proceedings against the ies alluded to, should be sufficient to disabuse the mind of those who have been

rejudiced against my appointment, aud who

ve publicly, by implication at least, tried to

show that I would shrink from discharging &

duty which I am solemnly bound upon oath, faithfully and impartially to perform.

The Canadian Government's Rail- way Policy.

The significance of the vote recorded in the Dominion House of Commons on Wednesday, can, in a railway and Canadian point of view, hardly be over-estimated. Of course we are aware that the bill founded on the resolutions has still to be passed; but with such # majority as seventy-four out of about two hundred members in favor of the details ax well as the principal of the measure, its completion can only be a question of time. The first effect and the obvious intention of the bill is to secure the immediate and absolutely certain completion of the through line of the Cana- dian Pacifie Railway, the Dominion Govern- ment itself advancing the money necessary to this end, aud thas relieving the company from the necessity of putting its own securities in the market to be played with by the ‘‘bears” of Wall street and Chapel court. The Gov- ernment, of courte, gets ample security in the usual manner for the advance thus made; but so yreat are the resources of the company, and so assured secms to be the progress of the Northwest, that none but the most tearsome an doubt that the loan will be readily paid off when payment becomes due, or that the company wll then have its line in the unem- barassed condition anticipated by the Presi- dent in his address to his sharehciders.-— London ( Eng.)
