in the correspondence. A certain emu
lation OF the captains skill and impor-
tance as a correspondent grew up among
! the other guardians. They began to
make suggestions of their own, until at
last steamer day brought them generally
| together, in cOnclave, in the back room Of
4 the saloon, where the fortnightly epistle
was dictated finally by all. Captain Rats's
/ pride. which at first resented this inter
ference, was placated by the compromise
that the composition or ''wordin'" of the
letter should be his own, although the
subject matter might be a various con
| tribution.
The result of this unhallowed collabor-
/ alton was a series of the most eXtraord-
! nary letters ever inflicted on a single cor
respondent. 1t was not long before their
fame passed beyond the horizon Of their
fair recipient. "Do you know, papa dear"
wrote the simple girl from the secusion
Of Nine. Brmborion'S academy 'do Won
