though I've been ut sea thirty years,
and rounded the horn twenty times,
said Captain Hallyard, approaching
the group which stood ON the poop
gazing on the fairy-like spectacle.
Wouldn't it be nice to land on
one of themp' said Nellie Steinberg,
q lively and pretty young brunette,
the life and soul of the party, and
the leader in any fun or frolic,
amusement or adventure,
+" Why should't wei" chimed in
Harry Coverdale. q good-looking
young fellow, between whom and
Miss Steinberg : quiet Aixtation had

The suhioct oncs started. ssveral

sparty Was according for1nsd con
sisting of two ladies and four gentle
men, who obtained the captains
permission and his four-oared gig.
After q hurried breakfast, we
started to picnic on the nearest ice
berg, about o mile off. It took US
fully IN hour to reach it, for we
pulled badly. AS we approached,
the scene was splendid. Huge pei
lucid pinnacles lowered high above
deep caverns, lofty fantastic domes,
and slender, fairy-like arches, whose
size could not be fully realized till
we neared and contrasted them with
our own insignificant stature.
BY carefully avoiding the danger
GUS, hidden sharp projections that
bilged beneath the surface, q landing
was safely effected on the slippery
ledge which edged the iceberg.
For the next two hours there was
fun, much laughter, and marvellous
feats of agility, in trying to reach the
highest peak, which rose at least
three hundred feet into the air. It
was cold sport; but any amusement,
especially of o novel kind like this,
is welcome to relieve the monotony
of q sea voyage.
Then came lunch, equally accept
able, and, under tho circumstances,
even more whimsical. Our spirits
rose beneath the genial influence of
the good cheer, including q glass of
ale for the gentlemen, and warm tea
for the ladies, to make which fire
was lit on the ice.
At its conclusion, Coverdale and
Miss Steinberg sauntered off to-
gether, followed by sundry well-di
rected but pleasantly parried jokes
at their expense and the rest of the
party.
