sfter very remarkable passage. having
still on her quarter the northwest breeze
which had stuck to her like a bloodhound
ever since leaving the barbour Of Salem.

nople indeed, for twenty or thirty vessels
which had been long waiting favorable
wind 10 encounter the adverse current Of
the Bosphorus, were loosing sail and get
ting under way, and the pilot, knowing
that the destination Of the Nancy was
also to the Black Sea- strongly dissuaded
Captain Brown from dropping anchor in
the Horn, with a chance Of losing the
good luck, and lying, perhaps month,
wind.bound in harbor. Understanding
that the Captains only object in stopping
was TO leave the two ladies with KEN, the
opium merchant, the pilot, who knew the
residence of Dolma.batcki, made signal
for caique, and kept up the Bosphorus::
Arriving opposite the little village of
which Hassan's house was ore Of the chief
orua ments, the ladies' were lowered into
the caique and sent ashore-expecting of
course 10 be received with open arms by
Mrs. Keni-and then, spreading all her
canvass, the swift little schooner sped on
her way TO Trebisond.
Hassan sat in the little pavilion of his
house which looked .lout on the Bos-
phorus, eating his pilau. for it was the
noon of holiday, and he had not been

once the the sweet face Of Phemie as the
caique came near the shore, he flew to

san had arrived, and that the lady OF his
love had chosen 10 come and seek him.

English embassy was at Bulgurlu, only

Hassan and his mother and sisters, and
Mrs. Brown and Phemie were soon on
their way .hither in swift caiques, and
the happy couple were welded by the
