l thought Alan would be graveled at
that, for we lacked the means of writing
in that desert. But he was a man o.
more resources than | knew; searched
the wood until he found a quill Of a
cushat dove, which he shaped into a
pen; made himself kind of ink with
gunpowder from his horn and water
from the running stream, and tearing
corner from his French military COM
mission (Which he carried in his pocket,
like talisman, to keep him from the
gallows) he sat down and wrote as fol-
lows:
DEAR KINsMAN-Please send the money by
the bearer to the place he kens of. Your af-
fectionate cousin, A. S.
This he intrusted to the bouman, who
promised to make what manner of speed
he best could, and carried it off with
him down the hill.
He was three full days gone, but about
five in the evening of the third we heard
a whistling in the wood, which Alan
answered. and presently the bouman
came up the waterside, looking for us
right and left. He seemed less sulky
than before, and no doubt he was well
pleased to have got to the end of such a
dangerous commission.
He gave US the news of the country
that it was alive with redcoats, that
arms were being found and poor folk
brought in trouble daily, and that James
and some of his servants were already
clapped in prison at Fort William under
strong suspicion of completely. 1t
seemed it was noised on all sides that
Alan Breck had fired the shot, and there
was bill issued for both him and me,
with one hundred pounds reward.
This was all as bad as could be, and
the little note the bouman had carried
us from Mrs. Stewart was of niser-
able sadness. In it she besought Alan not
to let himself be captured, assuring him
if he fell in the hands of the troops both
he and James We're no better than dead

men. The money she had sent was all
that she could beg or borrow, and she
prayed heaven we could be doing with
it. Lastly, she said she inclosed us
one of the bills in which we We're de-
scribed.
Alan was advertised az "a small, pock-
marked, active man Of thirty-five or
thereby, dressed i'll u feathered hat,
French sidecoat of blue, with silver but
tons and lace great deal tarnished, q
red waistcoat and breeches of black
shag," and as "a tall, strong lad of
about Gig lteen, wearing an old blue
coat, very ragged, an old highland bon
net, long homespun waistcoat, blue
breeches; his legs bare; low country
shoes, wanting the toes; speaks like
lowlander, and has no beard"
This put reflection in my mind-that
if | were to separate from Alan and his
telltale clothes | should be safe against
arrest and might go openly about my
business. Nor was this all, for suppose
| was arrested when | was alone, there
was little against me, but suppose was
taken in company with the reputed mur-
derer, my case would begin to be grave.
For generosity's sake | dare not speak
my mind upon this head, but thought
Of it none the less.

CHAPTER Xxx.
THE FLIGHT IN THE HEATHER--THE HEUGH
OF CORRYNAKIEGH.

THE FLIGHT IN THE HEATHER-THE HEUGH
OF CoRRYNAKIEGH.
Early as day comes in the beginning
of July it was still dark when we reached
our destination, a cleft in the head of a
great mountain, with a water running
through the midst, and upon the one
hand shallow cave in rock. Birches
grew there III thin, pretty wood, which
a little farther on was changed into a
wood of pines. The burn was full of
trout; the wood of cushat doves; on the
opening side of the mountain beyond
whaups would be always whistling, and
cuckoos were plentiful. From the mouth
of the cleft We looked down upon part
of Mamore aud ON the sea loch that di-
vides that country from Appin, and this
from so great height as made it my
continual wonder and pleasure to sit
and behold them.
The name of the cleft was the Heugh
Corrynakiegh, and, although from its
height and being so near upon the sea it
was often beset with clouds, yet it was

five days we lived in it went happily.
We slept in the cave, making our bed
of heather bushes which we cut for
that purpose, and covering ourselves
with Alan's greatcoat. There was a
low. concealed place in turning Of
the glen, where we were so bold as
to make fires so that we could warm
ourselves when the clouds set in and
cook hot porridge, and grill the little
trouts that we caught with our hands
under the stones and overhanging banks
of the barn. This was indeed our chief
pleasure and business: and not only to
save our meal against worst times, but
with a rivalry that much amused us, we
spent a great part of our days at the
waterside, stripped to the waist, and
groping about or (as they say guddling
for these fish, The largest we got might
have been three-quarters of pound;
but they were of good flesh and flavor,
and when broiled upon the Goals lacked
only little salt to be delicious.
Ia any bytime Alan must teach me to
use my sword, for my ignorance had
much distressed him; and | think be-
sides, as had sometimes the upper hand
of him in the fishing, he was not sorry TO
turn to an exercise where he had SO
much the upper hand of me. He made
it somewhat more Of pain than need
have been, for he stormed at me all
through the lesson in Il very violent man
ner Of scolding, and would push me so
close that | made sure he must run me
through the body. was often tempted
to turn tail, but held my ground for all
that, and got some profit of my lessons,
if it was but to stand on guard with an
assured countenance, which is often all
that is required. So, though | could
never in the least please my master, |
was not altogether displeased with my
self.
In the meanwhile you are not to sup
pose that we neglected our chief busi-
ness, which was to get away.

OPIUM SEIZURE.
Three Hundred Tins Captured on
the Steamer Claudine.

Guards stationed by Port Survey
or NJ. N. Sanders on the steamer
Claudine, on her arrival from San
Francisco yesterday evening, made
considerable capture of opium about
2 o'clock this morning. The contra
band stuff had been lowered in
package over the stern of the ship,
ready to be put into boat and TAX
on away.
A stranger was noticed lowering
about the steamer several times. AS
he seemed to have no legitimate
business there he was arrested. 1t
was believed by some of the officers
of the Claudine that he was man
who had been refused passage on
that steamer at San Francisco, and
who had then come down by the
Mariposa.
9. H. Clark, inspector of customs,
made the seizure, assisted by E.
Doyal and H. G. Crabbe. About
the hour mentioned above boat
was seen by Mr.. Clark coming round
the bow of the bark Leah, which
was watched until it came up under
the stern of the Claudine. He order
ed the boat away and at that time
he noticed an object in the water
which he did not then know to be
opium. Being suspicious of some
thing wrong he and Doyal gave
chase in rowboat to the mysterious
boat, following it up to the boat
landing where its occupant escaped
ashore in the darkness. Afterward
the inspector took the Custom House
boat and proceeded to the stern of
the Claudine. A lantern was lit, by
the light of which they found four
sacks on the surface of the water,
where it was suspended by that
rope from the steamers rail. With
the assistance Of policeman H. G.
Crabbe the customs officers lugged
the sacks into the boat. The sacks
were taken to the Port Surveyors
Office, where they were found to con
tain 300 half pound tins of opium.
If it is Hongkong it is worth $24 a
pound, and if San Francisco $12 or
SIS. The value of the capture is
therefore from $500 to $1,000.
The man arrested gives the name
ofsJames r. McGowan. He is not
as yet identified as the man who
tried to get passage on the Claudine,
but he has admitted that he arrived
here on the Mariposa. Marshal
Ashley and officers are further work
