The next chest he opened was filled with
iewelry of various kinds-the fruits, dare
say, of dozen pillages; for not only had
this pirate robbed honest traders, but q
picaroon as well, that had also piundered
in her turn another Of her own kidney; 30
that, as say, this chest of iewelry might
represent the property Of the passengers Of
dozen vessels 1t was as If the con.
tents of the shop Of jeweler, who was at
once goldsmith and silyersmitb, had
been emptitd into this chest. You could
scarce name an ornament that was not
here-watches, sHuff boxes, buckles, brace
lets, pounce boxes, vinaigrettes, ear rings,
crucifixes, stars for the hair, necklaces
but the list grows tirssome; in silver and
gold-all shot together and lying scramble
fashion, as if they had been potatoes.
was thunderstruck, as you will sup
pose, by the sight of all this treasure, and
looked and stared like fool-as if l was
in q dream. / had never seen 80 many
things before, and INDUCED in the most
extravaganza fancies Of their worth. Here
and there in the glittering huddle my eye
lighted on an object that was 100, perhaps
200, years old--a cup very choicely
wrought, that may have been in family
for several generations; a watch OF curious
figure, and the like. There might have
been the piekings of the cabins, trunks,
and portmsnteaus of 100 opulent men and
women in this chest; and, 80 far as could
Judge from what lay atop, the people pun
dered represented several nationslities.
But there were other chests and cases
to explor-ten in all; two Of these were
filled with silver money, third with
plate, o fourth with English, French,
Spanish and Portuguese coins in gold; but
the one over which Tassard hung longest
in transport that held him dumb was
the smallest Of all, and this was packed
with gold in bars The stuff had the ap-
pesranee of moldy yellow soap, and having
no sparkle, no variety did not affect me
as the iewelry had, though in value this
chest came near to being worth "a much as
sll the Others put together. The fixed,
transported posture of the pirate-his little
shining eyes intent upon the bars, his form
in the candle light looking like asketch Of
q strange, wildly appareled man done in
phosphorus, coupled with the loom Of the
black chests, the sense of our
desolation, the folly of our enjoyment Of
the sight of the treasure in the taCe of our
pitia6le and dismal plight, the melancholy
storming of the wind, moaning like the
rumble of thunder heard in a vault, and
above all the feeling of unreality inspired
by the thought Of my companion hayiog
lain for eight-and forty years as good as
dead-combined to render the scene 30
startipgly impressive that it remains at
this hour painted as wildly upon the eye
of memory as if had come from it five
minutes ago.
49," cried the Frenchman, suddenly,
slammipg the lid Of the chest, "tis all
here! Now, then, to the business of con-
siiering how to come Off withit."
He thrust the keys in his pocket, and
we returned to the cook room.

CHAPTER XIX.

WE TAKE A VIEW OF THE ICE,
For seven days the gale ragged with un-
common violence; IL then broke, and this
brought us into the first week in August.
The wind fell in the night, and l was
awakened by the silence, which you will
not think strange If you considen1how used
were my ears to the fierce seethiDg and
strong believing of the blast lay listen
ing believing that it had only veered, and
that 1t would come on again in gusts and
guns; but the Stiffness continued, and
there were no sounds whatever save the
noises of the ice, which broke upon the ear
like slow answers from batteries near and
distant, half whose cannon have been
silencsd.
slept again, and when / awoke it was
7:3o o'clock in the morning. The French
man was snoring Justify. went on deck
before entering the cook house, and had
like to have been blinded by the astonish-
ing brilliance Of the sunshine upon the ice
and snow. All the wind was gone. The
sir was exquisitely frosty and sharp. Bat
there was heavy sound coming from the
sea which gave me to expect the sight Of o
strong swell. The sky was a clear blue,
and there was no cloud on as much Of its
face as showed betwixt the hrows of the
slopes.
My attention was quickly attracted by
the appearance of the starboard cliff over
against our quarter. The whole shoulder
Of it had broken away, and ] could Just
catch q view Of the horizon of the sea from
the deck by stretching my figure. The
sight of the ocean showed me that the
breskage had been prodigious, for TO have
come at that prospect before should have
had to climb to the height Of the main
lower masthead. No other marked or
noteworthy change did I detect from the
deck; but on stepping to the larboard side
to peer over spied split in the ice that
reached from the very margin of the ravine
II mean to that end fit where il ter
minated in cliff-to and past the bowsof
the schooner by at least four times her own
length.
returned to the cook room and went
about the old business Of lighting the FIRE
and preparing the breakfsst-the job, by
an understanding between the Frenchman
and me, falling to him who was first out
of bed-and in about twenty minutes
Tassard arrived.

CHAPTER XVIII.

WE TALK OVER OUR SITUATION.
That night, as afterwsrd, Tassard oc.
cupisd the berth that he was used to sleep
in before he was frozen. Although had
not then the least fear that he would at.
tempt any malignant tricks with me while
we remained in this posture, the feeling
that he lay in the berth butone next mine
made me uneasy in spite Of my reasoning;
and l was 80 nervous as 20 silently shoot q
great iron bolt, so that it would have been
impossible to enter without beating the
door in.
In sober truth, the sight of the treasure
had pnt sort Of fever into my imagination,
of the heat and effects of which / was not
completely sensible until was alone in my
cabin andswinging in the darkness. That
the value of what had seen came to
ninety or hundred thousand pounds Of
our money, could not doubt; and will
not deny that my fancy was greatly ex-
cited by thinking of it. But there was
something else. Suppose we should have
the happiness 10 escape with
this treasure, then / was perfectly
certain the Freedman would come be-
tween me and my share of it. This ap-
prehension threading my heated thoughts
of the gold and silver kept me restless
during the greater part of the night, and
also held my brains on the stretch with
devices for saving ourselves and the treas
ure; yet could not satisfy my mind that
anything was to be done unless nature her
self assisted us in freeing the schooner.
However, as it happened, the gale roared
for q whole week, and the cold was so
frightful and the air so charged with spray
and hail that we were forced to lie clsse
below with the matches on for our lives.
