go with him, and they were all TO be
well armed. Mr.. Duncalf addressed
bis final instructions to the officer in
the boa.
"You will keep q lookout with a
lantern in the bows When You get
a-nigh the island, and will FIRE gun

Quite needless" interposed q

here."
Without taking the slightest no.

canoe to the side of the ship. In
stead of ascending to the deck of tbe
Fortuna, he stepped into the boat.
Lend me your pistols" be said
quietly to the second officer, "and
Oblige me by taking your man back
to their duties on board" He looked
up at Mr.. Duncalf, and gave some
further directions. '1f there is any
change in the weather, keep the ship
standing of and on, at a safe dis
tance from the land and throw up
a rocket from time to time to show
your position. Expect me on board

answered the Captain, as quietly as
ever, 'in this boat-all BY myself.
He pushed off from the ship, and
hoisted the sail as be spoke

loudest osths.
Attend to my directions" the
Captain shouted back, as be driited

The night had come, and the Cap
tain had not left the island. Aimsls's
resolution to send him away in the
darkness was forgotten resolution
already. She had left him persuaded
her that he was in 10 danger so long
as be remained in the hut on the cliff;
and she had promised at parting to
return to him, while the priest was
still sleeping, at the dawn Of day.
