with a cargo of iron. and then we were
to 90 on to Melbourne, and thence to

nothing but brightness overhead, and
blue waters under US, made feathery by
the whipping of the breezes which blew,

again a tribe fresh, but never so strong
as to cause us once to furl the main

of the trade wind till we were in about

it failed us one morning, with a slowly
falling glass, and a long, ugly gray
swell coming out of the southwest, and
"a sort of dirty blue sky, filmed over
with haze that might have passed for

came up in whitls, when the rolling of

enough TO let the ghost of the sun

upon the breathles9 bosom of the ocean.
"Well, what these plain signs beto-
kened came to pass right enough. The
