with fatigue and cold tried 10 raise the iomstes of
several welDgs In succession but without effect we
could not waken soul There must be s,methiog pc
cuNarly ssr-epproyakins in the atmosphere of owls
Head. Tor We sds Din eeopgh to roaee the Seven
Sleepers
Our next effort visa in search OF bosi. and We
proyylei in the dark and the rain, which now began to
fall for come distance along the shore. We found
only two skifis one Of y hch wac full Of water and
the other was mOored beyond our reach, except by
swimming. We turned again to the village and found
st length runOus coopershop, in which We took ref
uge from the rain, aud MADE An attempt to sleep.
With stick Of wood for pillow, we laid down on a
pil. Of shavngs and for few minutes slombered but
the cold wind blew so keeny through the chsss ia the
was Of the hut, that soon woke, and were forced
to rise aud move about TO keep warm. At length it
occurred to me that the schoo-house of the village
wonld probably afford MS comfortable shelter if we
could find Il. We remembered enough Of the feats of
our schooboy days to Be confident that we could got
into any village coffee Of the sort in New-EDgland.
Az the rain had go newhat abated we sailed forth
and happily in a few minutes found the building which
we soUght-a house of one story with single chin
oey, windows high shove the ground, aud no fence
around it. After reconnteriug it carefully till salts
fed that II was indeed the schoohOuse, we assisted
the Assyrisn to Chamber up TO a window which had
fortunately been left little open. Toat gentleman,
after much effort ss GOT his knee upon the widow
sill, and pushing up the sash thrust IN ais head.
At tbs moment TWO or three quick screams and out
cries Thieves murder! hepl" evidently from a
female voice, broAs upon our Mortified ears They
were followed by a rough voice demanding with an
oath what we wanted. 1t was no time for explana-
ton. And in fact none were needed by us. We had
mistaken dwelling for a school house aud were
breaking into bedroom--that wac all. The Assyrian
expecting each instant pistol-shOt or a Jlow on
has head from out of he darkness. let 20 the SASH
which, in its descent rack off his new hat, which
fell, Of course, within the room. de t1en dropped
himself to the ground AID we all ran away as fast az
we could not caring TO make our appearance in Rock
kpd sgaia next morning in tine character of burglars
caught il the act Of breaking into dwelling house az
Owls Head.
We again took refuge in the coopers shop, congratu
latiDg ourselves that it was not the fashion on the
coas of Maine sleep With pistols undsr the pilo y,
and wondering al the taste which led people TO build
tbsiI owellingu in the fashion that trey did their
sehool-bcus.s We made another sttsmpt TO sleep in
the thavnes, but the cold still kept us awake. We
therefore, again descended the SHORE and after long
walking on the beach, found boat with oars, which
fishermen had let ready to go ont in to HE daily
task st dawn. We took the liberty Of borrowing it,
and were soon on bosId the sl)op. St ppng merely
to wake the skipper and send him back with the Dor
rowed boat we turned into our berths, and wrapped
in warm blankets were soon obEvious of all our
.tr oubles
