Atkins, on my travels. The latter in

and had not returned up to an hour
before daylight. He was not uneasy
about him, however, and he thought it
quite likely he might have strolled away
up the west side of the island toward
Robinson's Harbor.

Point killed only two elephants, and L
thought that, instead of returning home
by the usual short cut, l would myself
go further up on the west side, and
ascend the slope of the glacier. This
glacier at Hurd's Island runs through
the middle of the island like backbone
sending out spurs to the coast, east and
west, while low, sandy point runs out
southeasterly from the main body of the
island. The place called Robinson's
Harbor was small bay, lying beyond
the spur on the west coast, and not
easily accessible, either by land or with
boats, as this is the weather side of the
island. had no idea of going over to.

How far are you bound on this tack

iceberg to make new discoveries ?''
No, not so bad as that,'' answered.

you left the village2"
"Oh, yes," said Green, "and he and
Comstock have got their heads together
about the piracy. There1l be calling
up this evening in the presence of all
hands, and perhaps general row on a
grand scale, but guess twenty.siK of
us will be more than match for eigh-
teen Englishmen, If they should all be
willing to back up their leader in his
piracy, which don't think they will.
Ali there's an old bull coming ashore.
See his snout there in the breakers.
Keep quiet now, and let him land

He had stepped between me and the
edge of the cliff, standing at the very
verge. All at once change came over
his features, and he uttered a sort of cry
of horror, at the same moment pulling
my sleeve. took single step to his,
side, and looked downward upon the
body of man lying at the base of the.
cliff, which we both recognized, at the
same instant, as that of the Englishman,
Warwick. He lay on his back, upon
the stony ground, with his face upturn-
ed to the sky. We stood looking for a
minute; bat as the body remained
motionless, we started on with single
impulse, down the slope by which we
had come.
At the point where We had stood, the
seawall or cliff was about thirty feet
high and very nearly perpendicular. AS
we could not jump down, we were
obliged to retrace our steps, and make a
considerable detour to reach the beach,
where we arrived quite out OF breath
with the haste we had made. Our first
touch upon the body satisfied us that
Warwick was quite dead, and had been
so for several hours. There were no
traces of blood, no signs Of any struggle,
nothing to indicate that the body had
moved after its fall.- Concluded next
week.
