The Mysterious Murder Night's ExPc
"'ts ' rfence in London.


IL was in the fall of lS--, that the ship TO
which belonged, after a voyage in the north
ern Atlantic, hove in sight of the Scilly Is
land and as we were bound for London,
shaped our course up the channel and in
few days were anchored in the downs. Hay-
ing got short Of provisions for some time
back, we were Obliged to stop and replenish.
The next day however, we were towed up to
the river and entered Commercial Dock on
the 2S--. II was grand sight to me, for
had never been in London, and the city
seemed like the world in comparison with
nv little village in the west of England. We
were paid off on the morrow; and l deter
mined, as soon as | was at liberty, to take
stroll and see some of the sights which | had
SO often heard. AT twelve o'clock next day
all hands proceeded to the Office in Lender
Hall-street, and received, severally, the
amount due them. There were just ten
hounds coming to me and started of to
see how could best make it conductive 10
my pleasureaa had been str6lling around
for some time, looking at the tower and other
places of note and finally walked into one of
the parks to see what could of the London
fashions was leaning against tree watch
ing party which attracted my attention,
when I was suddenly accosted by female,
apparently about eighteen or twenty, neatly
dressed and with AN expression which,
though pleasing, seemed somewhat sad. - =
