purest ~brllllancy. The sailors fell into
ecstacies, and one man, a half breed from
the Sandwich Islands, lost his senses so
far that he would have jumped overheard
if be had not been tied down. They sail
ed among the group the entire day, and
found it to consist, on a rough estimate,
at from twelve to twenty in number, but
the exact number of their relative size
there was no time to ascertain. They
consist Of large white flint rocks of crys.

gether of diamonds, in which the emerald
prevails There are agate, opaque topaz,
ruby, aud, inded, diamonds OF every hue A.;
but one island, which he describes as be
ing almost seventy miles long by fifteen
wide, consists of an entirely pure emer
aid without any admi ture of foreign
substance. 1t was difficult to effect a
landing upon any of the group. At length
some of the men succeeded but the cap
lain himself, satisfied with what he had
seen, did not leave the vessel.
The men describe the interior of the
island on which they landed as consist
ing almost entirely Of mud, which is rap
idly coagulating under the heat of the
sun. A curious thing was that the bril-.
liauts were seer ia the muddy quarters
of the island, lying about like huge
boulders, the smallest ones they saw be-
ing about two hundred tons 10 weight,
but there we're numbers of others consid-
erably larger. Of course here was nc
water or vegetation to be seen. The most
curious effect the sight had on the men,
both those in the vessel as we'll as those
who visited the island, was that the ex-
~traordinary brilliancy sickened their stom.
achs, and vomiting, followed by a copi-
ous discharge from the bowels was the
consequence. All efforts to detach por-
tons of the diamond rock proved abor-
tive ; and it was out Of the question to
attempt removing any of the great bril-.
liant boulders. They made an attempt
to detach portions of rock by means of a
crowbar and sledge, but it was so had all
efforts we're useless, and though they bad
powder enough on board they had no
implements with which to drill the holes
for blasting. The captain would have
proceeded on his voyage to Valparaiso,
but the men mutinied and obliged him to
put back to Panama. He afterwards,
with the consent of the crew, run the
vessel on shore on the northern coast of
Columbia. and, tclegraphiug to the own
ers that she was lost, came on as far as
