As they were nearing the warrow inlet known as Devil’s Point, which gives entrance to the Hamoaze, they passed a little boat, containing a solitary individual, proceeding leisurely up the river. now?’ asked the young man. *No lad! Who was it?’ ‘Captain Drake, father!’ answered the son, a vessel.” man; ‘and if every man bad bis rights, Francis Drake would this day be an admiral ?° * What does he come up the river so often for? Do you know, father?’ ‘Nay,’ answered Newman, ‘I can’t make it out. Lotten see him hanging about Sal- tash; so I suppose he’s looking alter some girl there," ‘ There's none of them good enough for him,’ cried the young fisherman, an enthusiastic admirer of renowned seamen. ‘What! not even Amy Hodge?’ said his father, slyly. ‘Ob, tather, you know it ean’t be her. From the way in which William Newman blushed, when he uttered these words, we rather more than suspect that tne said Amy was William's particular weakness. Other topics, however, arose to engage their attention and coversation. They spoke ubout the prospects of a good haul, of the rumoured Spanish invasion, with matters of local interest ; and, while thus engaged, they reached the fishing-ground, where we shall leave them and return to Captain Drake. CHAPTER Il. From the easy manner in which this indi- vidual handled the ropes and guided the tiller ut his little boat, 1¢ was evidert that he was no amateur ip maritime affairs ; and, when be stepped ashore at Saltash, his short stout figure, broad chest, horny hands and bronzed countenance, bespoke the seaman long accus- tomed to face the battle and the breeze. Captain Drake was not what would be generally styled a handsome man, but his open, frank countenance made up tor all de- fictencies. His hair, which was short and curly, was very thin about the temples, dis- playmg a broad, high forehead on which pride had impressed her deep arched furrows. His moustache was twisted up, and his beard peaked in the fashion of the age. He had sharp, restless eyes ; and a small mouto with thin lips, denoting determination and self-con fidence. The dress which he wore was that of a naval commander, and, though scrupu- lously clean and tidy, hung upon him with that easy slouch peculiar to members of his profession. Fastening his boat to a large boulder on the beach, Francis Drake sauntered carelessiy in- to the town of Saltash. ‘Every eye was upon the great mariner thst had been to the Indies, where the gold lies on the streets, as he now tviled up the principal thoroughiare, which, then as now, formed the chief nuisance of the town. Having at length accomplished this ascent, he strolled for a short distance in the direetion of St. Stephen's, then retracing his steps, descended towards the beach again by a little-trequented path. At the tout of this by lane stood, among a few others, the cot- tage of Henry Newman, and to this building Drake direct iimself, uring one of his trips to Saltash, Drake had seen Mary Newman, and, being struck with her appearance, he had made ap his mind to form her acquaintance.

He sat gazing on the officer ike one in a dream. Captain Drake bis son-in-law! euch an idea never entered bis head in the brilliant furure he had imagined for his daughter. ‘ Dare I hope?’ began Drake. * Captain Drake,’ said Newman, suddeniy, ‘ this union cannot be—must not be.

Men The belief in Sir Francie Brakes death | was so general in Plymouth that the heart- , broken girl scarcely dared to hope that’ the [report was erroneous. The fact, also, that |more than two years had elapsed without her | hearing from, or of, her absent lover, tended | had early joined the believers, took every op- portunity of weaning his daughter's wind away from a subject which he saw waseverg day hecoming more and more serivus ae re- garded her health. in the meantime, William Newman, — taken possession of the Elizabeth, had marri Amy Hodge, and the young couple were thfving as prosperonsly as people in theur cir- camstances can he expected to do. William's wife, who was also a believer in Drake's death, attempted to console her sister by leading her to believe that there was as good fish in the sex a8 ever came out of it. Amy never for @ moment thought that the meuns whereby she sought to console Mary were more calculated to lacerate the poor girl's feelings than otherwise. She meant pot to hort her sister, and the latter gave the young wife fall credit for her good-hearted attempts at comforting. Things had assumed such a hopeless aspect that Mary was forced to believe she hud seen the last of Drake, and under this impression she became lesa frank and free than tormeérty, devoting all her time and attention to the welfare of her aged father. The brightness had never vanished from her eye, nor the colour from her cheek’; but the ringing nagh had gone, and the open manner was awanting ; the heart had been over-charged, and came nigh bursting; but time had softened the wound, and she now mourned for her eailor- lover as a widow for her husband. As we have said, three years had elapsed, and Mary Newman hed again promised to become a bride. It was not without consider- able reluctance that ber consent had been gained to thisstep ; and it was only on account of the pleasure she saw it would give her father she had ever promised to resign het single life. Besides, ae her father said, it was very unlikely that he should continue to hold a lease of life mach longer, and be died. So Mary Newman had agreed to marry Hogh Palmer, a young man belonging to Saitash, and the morning was arrived for the pefurmance of the ceremony. Late on the morning of this auspiciousday a few vessels e..tered the Sound. They were immediately recognised as the fleet belonging to Drake, and messengers were without de- lay despatched on board to ascertain the particulars of the Admiral’s death. Their surprise may easily be imagined when the first person whom they saw was the veritable Sir Francis, They did not wait to ask him either when or where he died, but returned st once to the authorities with the joyful intelligence, whereupon the belle were set ringiag, cannon fired, flags hoisted, drums beat, and every method of expressing their pleasure was adopted by the inhabitants. Of all this the people of Saltash were as yet ignorant; and when Drake sailed up the river and dropped anchor near that town, considerable surprise was manitested, Order- ing a gun tc be fired as soon as the anchor hud been dropped and the veasel moored, Sir Francis stepped into a boat and was palled to Saltash, where he landed. Walking straight to Newman's cottage, he found the door closed and the house empty. On mak- ing inquiries of a neighbour, he learned that they had all just left to attend Mary's wedd- ing at St, Stephen’s Charch. Thunderstruck at this intelligence, he im- mediately followed them. At this juncture the gun was fired on board his vessel, but through some Careieseness or forgetfulness, it had been loaded with ball. * This ball,’ says the oid tradition, * fell be- tween the lady and her intended bridegroom ° Turning to Palmer, Mary Newman said, ‘It is the signal of Drake! Ue is alive! There must he neither truth nor ring between thee and me,’ and then sank on the ground In @ @oon.
