which had come !or the purpose Of seal
inc and trading in those seas. The CAP
tain received them kindly. and gave them
shirts and trousers. II was sunset when
they were taken on board, and the next
day the captain and the remaining party
were fetched. They proceeded in search
of the other party. who deserted the ves-
sci with degree of joy equal TO that of
the first man who saw it. and on the boat
approaching the shore. hailed it with three
cheers. which were returned bv their COM
rades on board. Those on shore were so
overloyed, thai they did rot wait for her
coming to the shore. but rusled into the
water TO haul her up. They were all ta-
ken on board. They assisted the schoon-
er in loading. and after taking all their
things on board. she sailed for her des,in-
alton. the Isle of France.
Although thus rescued from Il desert
island. the misfor,uncs Of the party were
not terminated. On the way to the Isle
of France, the mate of the smack had a
disagreement with the American captain,
and he and his companions, three except
ed. were at their own desire put ashore
on the island of st. Paul, where there are
plenty of wild PIGS and provisions such as
the mariners had been lately used to, and
which island is in the track of the vessels
trading in the direction of the Mauritus.
Here they intended to wait till picked up
by vessel in passing of which they had
no apprchensions. OF their fate no fur
ther account is given, though there is lit
tie doubt that they soon after reached
England by some trading vessel. The
three men that preferred going on with
the American schooner, were landed at
the Isle of France, whence they found
their way to the Cape of Good Hope, and
from that they returned to London in the

ton, but in good health, Notwithstanding

Ire afraid to kill the old birds lest they
ould quit the island, and in this fear they
rmitted them to live as stand-by's."
br the same reason they spared the pen
roins which supplied them plentifulIy with
&gs. The young seals were considered
greatest luxury, but they, as we'll as
old ones, were but too scarce, and
eir skins were in high request for
Dthes for, at the end of few months,
Nm their mode of life, their clothes gave

Ives sort of socks or buskins Of the
mc material, and they constructed var-
kinds of caps, which, as their boards
! ere pretty long, by no means tended to
prove their physiognomy.
i've now turn to the history Of the par
or eight men who had gone ashore on
first island in the group, and from
Rich they expected to be taken in the
SSlrse of a week. During the week for
Mich they possessed Il sufliciency of pro-
lions, they pursued the occupation Of
hitting the seals on the low sandy shores
}h inlets, and gathered large quantity
1.-THE skins of these animals to carry with
lem on their return. AT the end of the
wck, however, the smack did not make
IL appearance, which perplexed them not
little, but their distress may be concelv-
when they found portions of the wreck
iven ashore by the waves, giving too
tk,ain evidence of the destruction of their
vesel, and, as they feared, of the loss OF
der comrades. For six weeks they con-
tpucd to watch the horizon, with lin
I cking hope that a sail would present it.
I'll to their anxious gaze, but nothing of
kind appeared, and the party then re,

\ ce. At the spot selected, the eight sea-
n staid during the winter, living on
4 ls and sea-elephants, which they also
pked by means OF the blubber. When
pter had passed away, provisions were
bnd to be scarce, and there was ne
'sity for seeking new quarters. AS the
4 all boat was left to them, they proposed
sail to the island, lying at the distance

mates had built their house, ard there
they met, to the great Joy Of both parties.
The fshiny-parly added to the comforts
Of the establishment by bringing with
them their kettle, frying-pan, and some
other implements which were highly ac-
ceptable. There was now more nulner-
Gus party to be provide for on the island
and consequently additional exertions
were necessary for procuring food. Hunt.
ing the seal, the sea-elephant, and various
birds, was kept up at all times when the
weather permitted and when storms OF
rain, snow. and wind, swept across the
island, and rendered it impossible for them
to move out with safety, they remained
shut up in their rude dwelling, in which
their only mental solacement consisted i'll

Influenced by pious and rational scnti-
mcnts, they formed peaceful and order

Inconvenience and privation. During
their soourn on the island there were nc
parties amongst them; no quarrcllng

the execution Of whatever was suggested

sanction of the ma jority.

three weeks. and the prospect of deliver

cry day more remote, it was proposed to

wreck, and the materials of which the

With these. and what had been saved from
the wreck, the carpenter reported that a
vessel might be built, and they set to
work on that object Immediately. The
sails were to be made of scal-skins scwcd
together, and party, consisting OF clcv-
en-, went to the first island, for the pur-
pose Of collecting and preparing them
and digging up the timber which had
been used for the house. The collection
and preparation of the skins took three
weeks, and in a week more they collect
ed all the timber for the bnildng Of the
vessel. From the state of their provis-
ions, it was found convenient lhat five OF
their number should return and stay at
the other island, as there were not pro-
visions sufficient for the subsistence of all
at the island where the house was built.
This party, therefore, having received a
proportionate share of the utensils, name
ly, one kettle and the bottom of an old
one, which was used as frying-Pan, they
set off. Those who remained, in order
that they might apply the timber used in
constructing the old house to the building
of the vessel, set to work to build new
habitation, which they formed chiefly OF
stones and turf.
