her home, at pretty well any price But
Lord bless YOU hands weren't to be got
for love or money Many's the ordinary
seaman has asked and got one hundred
pounds for the run home, and many
hundred have turned up their noses at
the offer and gone OFT to Ballarat with
their picks over their shoulders, to die in
a mouldy hole, of drink and dysentery
like the fools they We're. And the Helen
\ Macdonald wasn't like one Of your small
craft. or even like one of the old tea Wag-
onS that YOU might bring round the Horn
with man and boy, if you'd only got
enough biscuit on board and didn't mind
a few WeeVls in it. There was no heaying
her to of night and turning in, making
quite sure you'd find her there in the
morning. Fye-and thirty or forty hands
she'd take to handle her at the least, and
thered need be some seamen among them,

I've been thinking it over for some time
now, and, if SO he you're agreeable,
think | can have her in the East India
| Docks within seven months from this
time, and not cost very much neither.
mir. Baldwin turned down his collar,
took of his hat, and sat down. He knew
something of Harry Corbett, who had the
name of being one of the smartcst young
fellows in the employ, and there was
something in his way Of speaking that
showed he'd got notion in his head
What's Your plan said hr.
Its this. Sir, said Harry; 'vou'yc
sent out men already for her, | know,
