 Poor Smallbones had, in the mean time, discovered what was going on, and thought that he might well urge something in his own defence.

 "Lead him lorward," said MT. Vansyperken; '.lol- low me, narines; and the whole party headed by the lieutenant, went before the mast.
 "Strp him., cried Mir. Yanslypefken.
 "Strip me, with the snow flying like thisl Ant cold enough, alreadyl'
 "You'll be colder when you're under the bottom of the cutter,o replied his mastef
 "0h, Lord then its xeehatlino, a'ter ait; why what have done!n cried Smalbones, as the marines dvest- ed him of his shirt, and exposed his emaciaed body the pitess storm.

 Here MT. Vanslyperken remembered his dream, and the difficulty which he had in driving Smabones soul out of his body, and he fearful that even keelhanl- ing would not settle Smabones
 By the directions of Mir. Vapslyperken, the hauling ropes and other tackle were collected by the marines, for the seamen stood by, and seemed resolved 10 d man, to do nohing and, in about half an hour all was ready. Four marines manned the hauling line, one was placed at each side rope fastened to the lads arms and the corporal had directions attend to the bow-ine, as he had lifted the body of Small bones over the larboard gunne and not allow him to be dragged too fast: better selection for this pur cOud have bean made thau Carnoral Nan Splitter. Smallbones had been laid without his clothes on the deck covered with snow, during the time that the lines were making fast to him; he remained silent and usual, when punlshed with his eyes shu and as Nansyperken watched him with feelings of ha- tred, he perceived an occasional smile 10 cross the lads haggard features. He knows where the dog is, thought Vansyperken, and the desire to know what had become of Snareyyow oyercame his vengeance he addressed the shverlng Smabones.

 The snow storm now so thick that was difficult 10 distinguish the length of the vessel Small bones' naked limbs gradually covered, and before the ten minutes were expired he wrapped up III snow as i'll garment-he shook his head occasional ly to clear his face, but remained silent. ssNow, sr,' cried Vanslyperken, "wl you tell me, overheard you go at once! Will you tell moa'
 "No," replied Smallbones.
 "Do you know, you scoundrell''
 "Yes," replied Smallbones, whose indignation was reused.
 "And you won't tell'
 "No," shrieked the lad "no, never, never, never.'
 "Corporal Van Splitter, with him,' cried Van slyperken, in rage, when a sudden stir was heard amongst the aft and the corporal lifted up the light frame of the culprit to carry 1t to tue gunne to the astonishmen of Vanslyperken of the corporal and of Smabores, Snarleyyow appeared on the forecase, and made rush at Smabones, he lay in the corpo- ras arms snapped at his leg and then up his usual deep paying, sbow, WOW, wow"
 The re~appeafance of the dog created no small sen- saton-Y YanslyperIen felt that he had now no reason for keelhauling Smalbones, which annoyed him as much the sight of the dog gave him pleasure. The corporal, who had dropped Smallbones on the snow, was also disappointed. As for Smallbones, at the l paying of the dog, he started up his knees and looked at 1t as fl 1t apparltion, with every de- monstraton of terror in his countenance; his eyes glared upon inc animal in horror and astonishment, and he fell down in The whole of the ships company were taken aback--they looked at ano- 1 ther and shook their heads--one only remark was made by Jansen, who muttered ssDe og tog alter alb
 MT.
