NORTH WEST HANN All,
TALE OF THE PACIFIC OCEAN.

[CoSTINUEp.l
At midnight, Julian awoke-the loud cries of
the sea-dog, the scream Of the wild bird in
mingled din saluted his ears; he turned his
aching eyes toward the door of the hut-there
he saw human form, standing IN the stream
Of light, which entering at the door, illlumina-
ted one half of his bed cabin.
A cloud passing over the moon darkened
the light, but q well known voice called oul
"Julian, Julian!'' He sprang from his bod
"Oh God" he cried, "Edwins self!-where are
you from! 1t cannot be!-this is a dream!-
my head is bewdered!-I will not believe that
behold my own Edwin here! Oh no you per-
Ished in the flood, on that awful nigh,''
"No, dearest Julisn!" cried Edwin, "three
Of us were washed ashore and saved; myself
and two mates, the poor captain and all the
rest were washed ashore, some mangled and
bruised; others, literally dashed 10 peices, but
we three alone survived"
Just then Northwest Hannah rushed in up
on them and cried out, "away, away! the til
ger SPRINGS
"Come, Julian" said Edwin seizng his arm,
let's be off, here's tho boat on the beach,
and I'll tell you the particulars at our leisure
But now, we must be quckn'
Julian turned on Edwin look Of tho most
unutterable woel and thus addressed him
"Where would carry me' Tis better to die here.
Fly, it you are in danger-I am not afraid OF
dcath-Go Edwin; save yourself, if you would
do me a kindness!''
Edwin turned upon him a half reproachfll
look; "what, Julian do you command mo to
leave you in time of danger'-you might as
we'll command this rock to leap from its ba-
sis; Never, here I'll live or die."
The report, of q musket was just then hea ard
and Edwin fell livid corso into the arms OF
the thunder stricken Julian! But a moment
did he pause, seeing the Pirates cutlass hang
ing near his cot, he grasped it. and rushed
bare headed out of doors, he waved it o'er his
head and cried out, "Vengeance the blood OF
the innocent calls for vengeance!"
"Seize him and bind him hand and foot"
was shouted by voice, which he knew to be
that Of Green. He turned and saw a dozen
natives of the Sandwich Islands, approaching
him with guns, clubs and musquets. A little
behind them he beheld Green, and an old
chief, who detained in their grasp young fc-
male; but, what was Julan's amazement to
hear the voice this girl calling out, " Oh, Juli-
an! Julian! save me, save me?"
Although he had never before heard that
voice, vet a conviction at once fastened upon
his mind that the distressed damsel could be
none other than Mary Allen. With the fury
of tiger, he sprung toward the natives, and
hewed them down like corn before the sickle
But Green was the object of Julian's ven.

burst from Mary and she swooned.
When Julian was restored to recollection he
found himself seated on the ground between
two natives, his hand and feet being bound
with ropes. Upon looking about him he per
ceived that he was in large sort Of cave, ol
hollow Of rock. No sooner did his two at
tendants perceive his restoration to life thar
one Of them ran ont, and in few moments re-
turned with the old chief, Green and severa
natives. They then commenced building
pile Of light wood around him. "Villainr

Green only grinned and replied; 81 though

"Away you prating fool!' said Green, stri
