an original story showing the inherent
kindness of the great sailor. The Fleet

Nelson saw midshipman come up and
speak to Lieut.. Pasco, the signal Off
Ger, who, upon hearing what was said,
stamped his foot in evident vexaton
and uttered an exclamation. The ad-
miral, of whose nearness Pasco was
unaware, called him and asked what
was the matter.
Nothing that need trouble your
lordship," was the reply.
You are not the man to lose your
temper for nothing" rejoined Nelson.
What was it?'

The villagers crowd to the shore and
watch the funeral boat with a silent
tremor, for there, under the Tapping mats
strung between the two mast, sleeps the
form OF the chief who has passed with the
clouds.
Let US bow our heads"
If the cloud have borne the chief along
it is 10 set his Anganga free. And the
hearers consult their timorous consciences,
to know whether aught lie between them
and the spirit of him who sleeps, for as
surely as his spirit has been angered in
life so surely has his time come for re-
venge. Sickness, pain, sudden death, ell
these are in the power of the Anganga if
it be wroth.
And they turn away to their thatched
huts to seek out funeral offerings which
shall mark their respect for the dead and
appease his spirit.
Along the coast of Savaii floats the
death chant, and the death boat glides

along the footpath. For the missionaries
have taught this that it is we'll to lay aside
the old canoe and followed tree, we'll to
bury the dead in close box and heap ur

words of the Holy Book. Yet none the
less shall Pe'atuli be wrapped in his finest

fragrant mint be laid in he box with him.
For If the white missionaries religion be
good, yet it is not good to lay aside the
customs of your forefathers. And Pe'atuli
had many forefathers and they were great
men.
So the funeral feast must be prepared
and the chief buried with all honor. and
no alien eyes shall look upon that burial
lest his Anganga and the Angangas OF his
forefa.hers be wroth withal. The pigs are

A dull, dim morn with mist yelling the
land. Fading plumes, purple and copper
tanned, droop languidly on the :all palm
trees of the grove. The sword d-leaves OF
the pandanus hang limp and spiritless,
the yellow blossoms of the fau shrivel
among their untidy leaves, the very waves
of the lagoon roll Iistlessly, with marble
tints.
Dull, depressing, as though the gray
wings OF the Ange! of Mourning
brooded over land and sea. And To-,
out of the stiffness floats the strong
voice Of man shouting news that
the world must hear. out OF the mist
glides a boat drawing anear with mutf1ed
oars. Her brown-skinned rowers wear
not wreath nor garland; no song is on
th-ir lips, neither is there sound OF trum-
pet and drum. AT the PROV crouches the
lester, his vocation gone; at the stern, IN
der q black and white flag which scarce
finds breeze TO hutter on, stands, erect and
tall, the chiefs high spokesman, holding
up a fine mat, worn dim with age, and
chanting, in high-pitched monotone, for
all to hear:
