beguiled the offended into fergivaess and
f0rgetfuluess Of the insult at = same
time.
'AlwYn and Ireton we're Of the same
age, born in the same village, a few miles
from London, and both had served their
apprenticeship in the same vessel; and
although they had never positively quar-
relied, yet they never quite agreed in
anything They were firm friends, never
theless, but no companions, and both
always felt the most comfortable when
they were as wide apart in local position
as they we're in habits and disposition.
NV father and the other members of
the firm always appeared to regard the
two youg men with equal favor, while, as
for myself, although liked IretOn, yet 1
must confess 1 liked Alwyn far better;
and when my father sent me round to
Hull with the two young captains, to as
sist them in fitting their respective vessels
for sea, and informed me that it would
be left entirely to my own choice as to
which craft should go out in-fOr it
had been determind that l was to 60 in
one of the brigs as supeFeargo, datermin-
ed at once to 60 with my favorite in the
Dart, which my father had named, in
remembrance ola good old Indiaman he
had once commanded.

SINGULAR vICIssITUDEs.

"Forty hours We struggled on there In
the water, and then when it vas almost
night on the second day after our disaster,
we we're discovered and picked up By Cap
tain Iretou in the Courier.
Judge if you can, Of our astonishment
when we were taken on board very nearly
exhausted, at b. holding there on deck the
very first person that met our gaze the
Bell-remembrred forms Of Captain John
AIWyn, and the lovely Portuguese maiden,
Isabelita YbanOS. 'a''t "-'-
They were bothrpale- and eare-Worn,
and yet there was a telltale expression Of
happiness beaming in the features Of each,
that told most eIoqusntly Of their hearts
Joy, Notwithstanding their van and wasted
appearance. Captain Ireton informed me
that he bad taken AlWyn and Isabelita out
Of French baTque bound to the Cape de-
Ferds, who bad picked them up IN an
open boat, five days previously, near the
By Of Biseay, where they had been wrecked
in a brig bound from Lisbon to London.
But the strangest Of all we're the stories
Of Isabeliia and AlWyR told 70 US an,
there in the cabin some few hours after
we were rescued from the waves. From
Isabelita'S lips We learned that the nan
With whom she left the. brig, as she sup
posed to meet the two captains, conveyed
her to a gloomy looking old house at tie
northern extremity Of the city, where she
soon learned that instead Of having put
herself under the protection Of friends, she
was a prisoner to one of the vilest seouu-
drels in Funehal, and that miseFeanb was
now after the property left BY bis wife
on board the Courier. -sF --.-
"Ths vessel in which they sailed was
wrecked in the BY Of Biseay, and three
days afterwards they we're taken of by
the French barque, the only survivors Of
more than forty souls. They had been
transferred to the Courier only few hours
before We had been picked up, and after
all our checkered vieisSitudsP, there We
were once more, all homeWard bound, and
all most happy.

THE RESULT.

"At an early hour on the morning
following the disappearance of Isabel
ita, we waited on the consul, in com
pany with the commanders of the
two men-of,war, and communicated
to him all we knew respecting the girl
and her abduction.
"The consul promised US his assis-
tance, as did the two commanders,
and in lessJthan two hours we landed,
the whole civil and military police
force ofFunchal were on the alert to
discover the perpetrators of the out
RACES; but the day went by without
any intelligence having been gained
and the next morning q rumor went
thrilling through FunchaI that Cap
tain Alwyn had also disappeared.
How, or whittier he had gone, nc
one knew; but one thing was certain
-he had not been on board Of either
the briggs during the night, or to the
residsnceof Of his friends onoshoFsf and

veriug search had gone by without

Adelaide Alwyn became my wife, and two
months later, Captains AlRyn; Ireton and

THE PROMOTION.

The house of which my father was,
and is the seniHepartnsy has for many
years carrisds soH mn extensive trade in
fruits, wines, etc, with Madeira; which
about the year 1871 had increased to
such an extent, that it was foundnecessa-
~ to add two more vessels to the feet
Of fruits owned by the company; and as
all buying, selling, offering and man
ming. vietualling and fitting away of the
vessels was always managed BY my father,
he having been many years captain HIM
self,rhe determined to build, or rather
have bdiit at Huh two. beautiful clipper
brigs, found and fitted with ali the mod
ern improvements and having made up
his mind to have, not only new vessels,
but bran new masters for them, he select
ed two qppn9tises, justOut Of their time
in one Of our vessels, to command the
two brigs.
FbeIbeys 6FIragbssg men, since they
became captains, were both steady, iu'
dustrious fellows, excellent sailors, capi'
tai uavigator., shrewd in business, every
way as capable of commanding such Graf
| as they we're appointed to, as any other
\ tab go5lhg meniin the Kingdom Of Grea
Britain. And yet, Notwithstanding al
this, the two youthful captains were al
totally unlike in very many important
traits of character, as were midnight anC
noon; for Captain John Alwyn was so
Der, quiet, deeP-thihEing-- perhaps schem
ing young man, very. seldom laughing
