person had been there before them.

| A loud shrek burst from the cabin, at that
instant. Quick as thought; Julian plucket
Hannah's dagger from her bosom, and sprung
forward. He entered the hut, and perceived
Mr.. Russell endeavouring to force Mary to
comply with his brutal DESIRES
| "Of hands, villain" thundored the
youth.
Russell turned, and seizing pistol which
hung up in the house, discharged it at Julian.

wards the mate, he partly fell and pitched for
ward and buried the point of the dagger in
Russell's abdomen,

large, powerful man; and Hannah soon fell

Julian lay in condition partly inscnslble for
several hours. During this time, he thought
he was sailing through the air in company
with several beings of higher sphore = their
bright wings glittered in the sun; their eyes
sparkled with animation and feeling, while
their ringlets waved behind in the gentle breeze
which famed their blood. He thought at

turning to him, he beheld the well known
features Of Mary Allen! He threw his arms
open and was about claspng her, when she
vanished, and the bloody corse Of the Pirate

sunk deep in his head, and his teeth clenched
"what means this untimely VISIT" said Ju-

The phantom gently raised his head; open

voice Of anguish and horror, said "nEMrM-

Shocked beyond description, Julian shuddor-

he was in a canoe, and on the water. A sma II
sail was spread. and North West Hannah was
at the helm; while the angelic Mary, leaned
over him like a guardian angel, applying a
smelling bottle to his nose, and dropping fast
and bitter tearss A faint cry of JOY, burst
from her, as Julian opened his eyes.
