instalment OF which was ready,

ed for the island of Cuba, and
we're to be landed at Havana.
Considerable alternations had

same time additional security
added for the safety of officers
and crew. The fore aud main
hatches had been fitted with a
heavy iron grating securely
bolted to the combings, while
over the main a species OF iron
cage had been constructed,
fitted with a door and secured
by belts.
The ship carried three masts,

which with the captain, stew~
ard aud cook, completed the
Transit's complement.
The chief mate, John Mays

There's nothing left but sorrow;
y. walk the wilderness to-day,

o,r birds Of song are silent now,
rAare are no flowers blooming;
y.t lifs bests in tho silent bough,
And Freedoms spring is coming;
And Freedoms time comes up Away,
Tho, we may strand in sorrow;
Ard our good bark, aground to-day,
Shall float again tomorrow.

The peoples cry ascendeth,
And earth Is wet with blood and tears;
But our weak snHerance endeth;

The bars Of hell are strong to-day,
But Christ shall rise tomorrow.
Tho hearts brood DER the past, our eyes
With smiling futures glisten,
For. 10! the dawn bursts up the skies!
Lean ont your souls and listen!
The world rolls Freedoms radiant way,
And ripens with her sorrow;
Take heart! who bear the cross to-day
Shall wear the crown tomorrow.

With energies immortal;

And though Age wearies by the way
And hearts break in the furrow,

enemy inch by inch, which
every moment gained, despite
their utmost efforts.
The situation was certainly a
desperate one, as inch by inch
the blinding siioke drove them
back until they we're forced to
take refuge in the forward
cabin.
'Tis useless to struggle,

Even as he spoke a deep
heavy report reverberated over
the ocean. "What was that 2"

s'It sounded like a cannon.

And, with a bound, the three
men cleared the barricade,
gained the deck, springing on
to the rail before the astonish-
ed coolies knew what was go
ing on.
They rushed in a body to-
wards the three fugitives, but
the rapid crack of the revolv-
ers soon quelled their ardor
and sent them bowling to cover
while the whistling Of a round
shot above their heads caused
all to look to windward, where
a large, heavy-sparred vessel
under all sail, loomed up, the
open ports revealing her deck
crowded with men.
The coolies could make ne
use of the mpskets they had
wrested from the hands Of the
murdered sentinels, having NJ
ammunition, and they had al
ready expended the charges
with which they had beer
loaded.
