concluded then that the unhappy man
had been cast away upon this ice while IL
was under bleaker heights than these paral-
lels, and that he had crawled into hollow
and perished In that melancholc sitting post
urc. la
Thinking might find something on his
person to acquaint me with his story, or that
would furnish me with some idea Of tho date
OF bis being cast away, pulled his cloak
aside and searched his pockets. His legs were
thickly cased In two or three pairs Of brooches,
the outer pair being of dark green cloth.
He also wore handsome red waistcoat,
laced, and stout coat Of kind OF frieze. In
his coat pocket found silver tobacco box,
small glass flask fitted with a silver band
and half full Of an amber colored liquor,
bard froze; and In his waistcoat pocket q
gold watch, shaped like an apple, the hack
curiously chased and inlaid with Jewels of
several kinds, forming small letter NJ Ths

A key Of q strange shape and q number of
seals, trinkets, and the like were attached to
the watch.
These things, together with knife, a KEY,
thick plain silver ring, and some Spanish
pieces in gold and silver were what found
on this man. There was nothing to tell me
who he was, nor how long be had been on the
island.
The searching him was the most disagree
able Job ever undertook in my life. His
iron-like rigidity made him seem to resist
me- and the swaying Of his back against the
rock to the motions Of my hand was SO full
OF life that twice quilted him, frightened
by it. On touching his naked hand by acci-
dent, discovered that tho flesh Of it moved
upon the bones as you pull glove of and
on. had had enough of him, and walked
away feeling sick.

probing cautiously at every step, and carn-

as that dead man was never to know what
new wonder might stumble upon. About

cernible from where tho boat lay. When
was within twenty feet Of tho summit of the
cliff, the activity continuing gentle to the
very brow, but much broken, as have said.
Noticed this hollow, and more particularly
q small collection Of leo forms, not nearly %
large as the other groups Of this kind, but
most dainty and lovely, nevertheless. They
showed as the heads of trees might to my
ascent, and when had got little higher I
observed that they were formed upon the
hither side Of tho hollow, as though the con-
vulsion which had wrought that chasm had
tossed up those exquisite caprices Of icc,
