ANCIENT COURIER SYSTEM

A complete courier system was es-
tablished throughout the empire
these couriers were employed to carry
messages in peace and war, and fresh
provisions for the kings table; as
we have seen in a former chapter, il
is asserted that Montezunia had ffesl
fish brought to his paluco daily from
the gulf coast. They were exceed
ingly swift runners, being exercised
from childhood and encouraged By
rewards to excel in speed. Stations
we're fixod at distances of about siS
miles apart, where small towers wer'
built in which dwelt one ON tnors

FEARFUL sUtFERINGs AND CANNI-
nALISNI Az SEA.

Some weeks since, it will be re-
membered, an account of the loss of
the Euxine by fire, was received from
st, Helena, at which place theS cap
tain and the greater part Of the crew
had safely arrived; but it seems that
q third boat, containing the second
mate and eight men, was believed to
have been lost. Fortunately, how
ever, this was not the case, for it APP
pears by news received from Batavia,
that part of this missing boats crew
had been picked up and taken to
that port by q Dutch vessel. Fol-
lowing is a report made by one of
the survivors: "We sailed from
Shields in the Euxine, Of Liverpool,
and under the command Of Captain
Murdock, bound to Alden, and all
went we'll until the 9th Of August,
when an alarm Of fire was made
Nothing daunted, our captain imme-
diately ordered all available hands
to work.
cat first we thought the fire had
been got under, but on the second
day it again broke out, and do all
we could we saw no chance of ex-
tinguishing it, so it continued gain
ing on us for two long days and
nights, when on the fourth day from
the discovery Of the fire it was found
impossible to remain longer on
board. We then abandoned the yes
sci in three boats; in ours altogether
we numbered nine. We then en-
deavored to make the island Of st.
Helena, but our boat got separated
from tho others during the night,
and finding that we were much to the
westward of the island, we held O
consultation, and it was agreed to
steer for the Brazil coast; but IN
other accident happened, which
caused the loss OF the boatswain and
two other men. 1t was that Of the
capsizing OF onr boat; consequently
what little provisions we had in the
boat was lost.
"In these straits, and clinging tC

to the very last extremity, almost tt
frenzy, and hunger having gained
upon us with its agonizing pangs, w
were compelled to cast lots amont
ourselves as to which of us shoulC
