must have surnlised that the Azor contained

We couldn't make out much of the town, as
it was covered by the trees, which seemed
planted in great profusion all through it.
At about half:past o'clock an ordinary
ships boat was seen pulling out containing
five men. As it approached nearer, it was
seen that all five were black as tar, and that
four we're dressed in a narrow cloth hung
about the loins, and nothing else. The other
was attired just about as the ordinary colored
longshoremen or boatmen around Charleston
usually are As the boat came up on the
port side of the Azor, there was a general
break among the emigrants, who fled in every
direction, scrambing over the hatch houses
and tumbling over each other in their precip-
itate flight. The children seemed especially
frightened, and fled below. The individual

THE EIGHTH DEATH,
being that of Matte Tyler, aged 30 months,
daughter of Howell Tyler, of Barnwell coun-
ty, South Carolina. Her disease was attrb-
uted to the measles, being probably another
illustration of the beauties of the economical
policy of the managers of the L. E. A. J. S.
SIS Co. Another instance of this same thing
was furnished by the food provided for the
cabin which, by this time, had settled down
to business basis. The bill of fare was about
like this:

bird, too utterly prostrated with heat to move /;
heat, heat, heat, expressed in every object in
the great oven on the bottom of which we
rested and the arched cover of which seemed
to shut out every breath of air, and slowly to
be roasting US. 1t was day compared with
which the memorable 2Sth of June 1876, in
Charleston, was cool and refreshing. We
slowly drifted and rocked, and rapidly per-
spired all through it, while tantalizing visions
of rolling on long grass beneath green trees,
among breezy Virginia hills; of fishing lazily
in clear, placid streams, under dropping will

and cobblers, behind cool venetian blinds of

rangements were made to secure as mueE
water as possible. Everybody seemed to be
taking in great draughts of the fresh air, which
went rushing down through the wind sails and
doors, scattering the close and fetid atmos
phere tween decks, and filling every place
with the very elixir of life. Cheerfulness and
activity replaced the apathy and languor en-
gendered by the weeks calm, and in few
minutes all hands had gathered about the
decks, and the joyful noise of old.fashioned
hymns and choruses was heard from hun
dred voices. The breeze held until about

cries of sailors and orders of officers could be

The continued vivid flashes of lightning
brought out all the surroundings in momen'

up in the rigging would be brought into
startling relief-the captain at the helm
standing out in fash and swallowed up by
the darkness group of sailors in the atti-

completed-a knot Of passengers crouching
under shelter, with anxious, startled faces.
All of these things would come and 60 with
almost inconceivable rapidity, leaving them
selves photographed on the mind with their
back ground of intense, sudden light and sur
rounding of dense darkness What added to
the wierdness of the effect was that the storm
had come so suddenly that there was no sea,
and the Azor, amid all the crash and confu-
