general belief is that she must 60 to

and is now discharging their freight. The
Ocean Pearl sailed with one hundred and
ten horses, and lost only nine upon the
passage of twenty-ninc days. The ship
North America, from Boston, arrived on
the 9th Ship Undauntel, which arrived
here some weeks before the Ocean Pearl,

horses, and lost but two on the passage.

Here was a quandary. If he stopped
the snake would coil about his body, and
squeeze him to death: if he continued the
race he must fall from sheer exhaustion.
On he flew, scarce daring to think how
this dreadful race was to end. Instinct
lively he had taken the direction of home /;
feeling of security came over him.
Suddenly flashed across his mind the true
state of aifairs-his father gone-the
quitting, and worse than oil, the girls !!
The next moment he felt the body of the
cold clammy monster in contact with bare
legs, his tail creeping around them in a
sort OF cozening way, as by way OF
tickling John upon the knees.
This vas too much for human endur-
ance. With yell, such as man never
uttered, save in mortal terror, poor John
set forward at break-necs speed, and once
more had the pleasure Of seeing the snake
resume his horizontal position, somewhat
after the fashion of the tail OF comet.
On, they flew Jphr forgot the quilt
ing, forgot the girls, forgot everything but
the snake.
His active exercise, (hc paid partIcu-
lar attention to his running,) together with
the exec, sive heat, had brought on the
Inose-bIced, and as he ran, with ears erect
and head thrown back, his chin, throat
and shirt bosom were stained with the
flowing stream.
His first shrek had started the quilt
crs, aud forth they rushed, wondering II
some Indian was not prowling about. By
this time, John was within few rods OF
tn barn, still running at the top Of his
s5eel. hi, head turned SO that he might
Keep one eye on the snake and with the
other observe what course he must take.
The friendly barn now concealed him from
thc sisht Of the girls. He knew the girls
were in the yard, having clught glimpse
Of them as they rushed from the house.
\ few more bounds and he would be in
thcir midst. For moment moIesty over
alme ftlr aal he halted The snake, eyl-

toa, manifested his gratitude By attempt
