notice OF this, ,thismorning and have the res
of our force stationed within call
This was said in rather a growing
tone of voice by the boatswain, who had
the pistol still pointed within half an
| inch of the prisoner ear.
'Hawl him along to Mr.. Wallop's, and
get him committed for trial. Twill be
five years before the mast. and month
or two of Winchester treadmill.'
This was said by the other assailant
whose pistol was within an equal distance
Of the left ear OF the sorciy puzzled Doc =
tor Bubb.
'Rut gentlemen, said the prisoner. in
Heavens name. what is the meaning OF
this l will explain in a few words the
provisions of the Magma Charta.
You may have your provisions in a
cart or wagon ifyou like; but in the
mean-tme-then two little tubs is good
evidence against you
For what: inquired the Doctor.
For running rig on the Queen; l
wonder you amt ashamed ont answered
the bt a.swain.
March HIM along added the other
giving the prisoner push on the should
er that nearly sent him over the cliff.
Let me understand this; you come
here and forcibly seize my person, and
object to my carrying off these tubs of
geological specimens. Is there rival
Philosopher in the oase 1t there a col
lector here
To be sure there is, and a supervisor too;
but come, along, Mr.. Wallop will soon set
you to rights-eomc'- -
Mr.. Wallop, did you say? You must
mean his nephew, Mr.. Martin; the old gem
tleman is non oompos.'
'Oh, curse the compass, said the men, 1t =
all and pp sailing on here 50 s''''' your f''Ppf'
WIN they indeed carry the poor gen'le-
man to Your unclc?' inquired Jane Lorimcr
in an anxious voice, as they hurried up the
path, cut into Mr.. Wallop's ground.
TO be sure they WILL and, by Jubitcr,
the old fellow will take his revenge on this
Pedantic booty, and perhaps. Jane, it may
be a lucky incident for ourselves
How, Charles? Who is this old man with
the tubsl
\ Doctor Bubb; but I'll tell yon moro as
we go on; you must positively come in for
few minutss--my uncle will be delighted to
see YOU, Oh, Charles not now-not till he
kn1ws-not till
But before her objections to paying the
old gentleman a visit could be concluded the
door WAS opened and she only finished her
full reasons for not being able 10 enter the
house when she had arrived in the drawing
room. 4 noise Of loud talking in the libra
ry had almost alarmed her as she passed; and
sh, WAS glad to have few minutes to her
self to prepare for her interview with her
t rmar friend. The pass nate old man had
quarrelled with her mother, and had been
harsh and angry with the poor girl herself
but she knew that, along with all his bad
temper there WAS a great fund Of goodness
md she therefore, had great confidence in
what Charles had tod her about his uncles
change Of sentiment in her favor, The nos.
in the next room increased in a few minutes
Al rrodi giousy, that Charles rushed off to
ascertain what was the matter. On enter
inr the library, he saw Doctor Bnhb closely
guarded by his two captors-Mr. Wallop sit
tim, in his armchair with IA grin OF the most
diabolical triumph on his rnbicund sisage-
and Sophronia and Captain Slap in recess
OF the winl1w in earnest consultation.
This old man is not IN the least IN
sane, said Sophronia.
No more than a m d dog groane1
Captain Slap, symphathizingly. He'll
certainly send the Doctor as a common
sailor on board the Ae ct, and fogglpg's
not abolished yet.
Good Heavens he has often told me
that persons born on a chalhy formation
are hot and violent. 1t seems. indeed,
too true must exert myself in his IA
vor.' Saying this she walked forward
and said. Mr.. Wallop. you must allow me
to have some right to interfere hcrc,as /
am soon abon. to be an inmate in your
house
That's no evidence, interpos d the
Magistrate, with all the dignity Of power,
YOU saw this person who calls himself
Bubb, in possession Of two tubs of con
traband spirits >
Yes, sir, answered both the men.
You received intimations of a projcc-
ted run on this coast and set watch ac-
cordingly
'Ies, sir.
There can be no further ,,oubt on the
subject. | must commit him for trial !;
and, in the meantime. can give orders
for prosecution for the wilful damage
done to my lard.
This can explain in few words,
began the lecturer.
i advise you to say nothing sir, said
the justice; your words will be taken
down
But II, sir exclaimed Sophronia,
am answerable for the opening of the soil;
and as wife of this gentleman, seizing at
the same time the hand of harles Mar
tin, who at that moment, entered the
room, Il conclude had right to do as
