befalIen Sanger island light station.
Proceed there with all possible speed,
land with sufficient force, ascertain
cause and report by signal through
Kedgcree station. BY order OF Haili-
day, lieutenant governor" On making
out the message 1 turned sharp round
and proceeded down stream with the
rushing ebb tide, everybody wonder
ing what could nave happened. 1t was
suggested that perhaps the rebels were
making n flank movement and destroy
ing the light towers and beacOns of the
dangerous channels. If that should
prove to be the case we were likely to
have hot work to do. Long before we
sighted the Sanger light tower over the
skirt of the great jungle all hands,
sailors and soldiers, armed and ready
for action. crowded the fore deck
straining for the first sight of the sta
ton. the prospective scene OF battle and
revenge.
Finally Kcdgeree station came in
sight. with danger signals flying at its
flagstaff; and then, about five miles
distant, the tall red and white tower
OF Sanger island, its light still burning,
although the sky was clOudlcss and the
afternoon sun blazed with unusual
brightness over the jungle land on
either side. and the dangerous chan
re!s through the worlds most dreaded
uuicksandS. There was no longer any
doubt that some dreadful calamity
really had befallen the lonely station.
As we neared, a fever of excitement
arose among the soldiers. We had
rcarcely anchored when some of the
H]ighlanders, fully armed, jumped
overheard and swan to the landing,
while the others struggled for places in
my launch. We pulled hastily for the
shore. and in a few minutes my little
force of ten LaSkars ard other sailors
and 81 soldiers was drawn up before
the gateway in the high wall that in
closed the station and its grounds. But
the gate was locked on the side. No
signs Of footmarks could be seen, nor
could sounds of any kind be heard.
Nothing o~n;nous was TO be seen eN-
.crpt, hirh above us. the beacon light
revolving weirdly round and round.
The sullen looks of the soldiers changed
to bewildcrmcnt and disappointment
rs tie boatswain called down from the
top o. the scaling ladder: Il can see no
signs of life, sir, about The buildings or
grounds. Only there's n queer, warn
ing kind of look about the place. Bet
ter be on guard against surprise"
Then. descending on the inside. he
found the key in its place and opened
the gate. I marched in at the head of
my force, cautiously, of course, every
moment expecting a sudden volley
from 4 hidden enemy; but all remained
still as death. l drew up my men at the
foot of the broad stairway of the dwell
ing, up which I proceeded with ten sol
diers, pausing every step to listen,
ready to fire at an instant's notice. But
there was no sound. Even when we
were at the stair head no sign appeared
except a little isorder of the sheets and
pillows of six mattresses which lay on
the floor along the front of the long

"One of the funniest sights 1 ever saw
was Il South Sea islander with his first
chunk of ice" remarked the captain
of Il trading schooner. 81 was lying
at anchor at one of the Navigator
islands once when some of thu natives
came aboard. 1t was an awfully hot
day, and | had just been getting some
ice up from below. The natives looked
ut it cUriousiy and so L handed one n
chunk. The moment it touched his
hand he dropped it like a hot shot and
looked at his palms to see if they were
burned. After Il deal If jabbering they
all sat around it and watched it melt.
They couldn't understand it at al,
and when there was nothing left but =
wet spot on the deck they sat around
it ana discussed the phenomenon. L
put d piece of ice in my mouth and then
gave them Some. They shifted it from
hand 20 hand ike a hot coal, put the
tips of their tongues to it Gingerly, and
finally swallowed the chunk. 1t was
a source of great wonder to them

GAIT. WILLIAM B::owS.

The emperor Of the French was still
at Warsaw. The Polish capital was gay
and frivolous. New hopes had awakened
the spirit of folly in the ~aristOcracy,
and the ''iibcratOr," now at the very
height Of his physical power. was2ften
conspicuous in the Tcycls. In the inter
walls OF his serious labors Napoleon
gave way to Il life of Srn>IaliJv, AMI
the women were prodigal of their
charms. One of them was the we'll
known Countess WaIcwsl-, a beau
tiful woman, who, while yea q child,
had been forced into weGlCck with an
aged nobleman. She was now made to
feel that. the future of her HCrntry
depended upon her captivating Ndpo-
leon. for he had singled her out rs the
most beautiful of all the crowd which
pressed around him on his entry. In
digndnt when the proposition was first
made. she finally listened to the tia1by
morality OF her friends, and gave IN
unwilling consent. 1t is thought that
her child was the first born 10 Napo-
leon. and that this fact, combined with
MS disgust IoI JuStpillHt ii'tSSdHi
and Inconsistent ~outpourings of jeal-
Gus complaint as to his conduct, had
much to do with his attitude concern
ing the political advantages OF the di-
vorcc. Such was the young Polish
noblewoman's eventual devotion to the
father of her child that throughout
his consequent life in Europe she ran
every risk to be near her idol. and ac-
tuaiiy followed him 10 Elba.-PIof. ".
