few days ago, ,was accosted by a-miserable looking
young utatl,. jest retagned (pun a Fritoll prison, bpi

said, he-was sorry 'that lief was not in want of 'any
additional bands, as his Arra was fully adequate to
discharge the cargo. The yoong man, in return, ex-
pressed his regret, but urged the Captain to suffer hint
to work only for his meat, as he was literally starving
for want of food; Commiserating the youth's un-
happy situation, the Captain Coviipillaki with the con..
dition, and the young man went cheerfully to work in
the hold among the crew. Observing, on the second
day, the eager assiduity of the stranger to diScharge
his duty, the Captain asked him of what place he was
waive ? " Lerwick," he replied. " Lerwick—
Lerwick !" rejoined the Captain, " and what is your
name ?" " James Work," replied the youth. Pal-
pitating 'with eager anxiety, and afraid he might be
mistakenrthe Captain immediately inquired if he had
a brother. " I had," said he, " but it is a long
time since I saw him." " What is his name—his
name'?" *hood breathlessly inquired the master.-1.
`l4 Laurence Work," replied the youth. " Then yOrs
must Was had lettirs from your brother ?" says Mt
Captain. 44 On ! yes, Sir." 44 Come, come along
with me," said the Captain, hastily, and immediately
hurried.him into the cabin. .66 Have you any °biers
tions to show me those letters from your brother!"
asked the Captain. " Certainly not," said he, and
immediately produCed them, The Captain, assured
then almost to a certainty who the young man was,
produced corresponding letters to himself, and upon
the mutual correspondence being laid upon the table,
each exclaimed—" BILOTHER !" and they instanta-
neously-rushed into each`other's arms, and for site.
ral minutes their feelings were so overpowered with
the warmth of their affections, that neither of them
could speak till tears came to their relief,. „
