] CHAPTER XIV.

THE CRUISE OF THE CORACLE.
It was broad day when awoke, and
found myself tossing at the southwest
end of Treasure island. The sun was
up, but was still hid from me behind
the great bulk Of the Spy-glass, which
on this side descended almost to the
sea in formidable cliffs.
Haulbowlne Head and Mizzenmast
Hill were at my elbow; the hill bare and
dark, the head bound with cliffs 40 or
so feet high and fringed with great
masses of fallen rock. l was scarce a
quarter of a mile to seward, and it
was my first thought to paddle in and
land.
That notion was soon given over
Among the fallen rocks the breakers
spouted and beloved; loud reverbera-
tons, heavy sprays flying and falling,
succeeded one another from second to
second, and I saw myself, if ventured
nearer, dashed to death upon the rough
shore or spending my strength in vain
20 scale the beetling crags.
Nor was that all; for, crawling to-
gether on fiat tables of rock or letting
themselves drop into the sea with loud
reports, I beheld huge Shiny monsters
soft snails, as it were, of incredible
bigness-two or three score of them to-
gether, making the rocks echo with
their barkings.
I have understood since that they
were sea lions and entirely harmless.
But the look of them, added to the
difficulty of the shore and the high
running of the surf, was more than
enough to disgust me of that landing
place. I felt willing rather to starve
at sea than to confront such perils.
In the meantime had a better
chance, as I supposed. North of Haul
bowline Head the land runs in a long
way, leaving at low tide long stretch
of yellow sand. To the north of that,
again, there comes another cape-Cape
Of the Woods. as it was marked upon the
ehart-buried in tall green pines, which
descended to the margin of the sea.
I remembered what Silver had said
about the current that sets northward
along the whole west coast of Treasure
island; and seeing from my position
that I was already under its influence, I
preferred to leave Haulbowline Head
behind me, and reserve my strength for
an attempt to land upon the kindlier-
looking Cape Of the Woods.
There was great. smooth swell upon
the sea. The wind blowing steady and
gentle from the south, there was no
contrariety between that and the cur
rent, and the pillows rose and fell un-
broken.
Had it been otherwise, must long
ago have persisted; but as it was. it is
surprising how easily and securely my
little and light boat could ride. Often,
as I still lay at the bottom, and kept no
more than an eye above the gunwale,
I would see big blue summit heav-
ing close above me; yet the coracle
would but bounce little, dance as it on
springs. and subside on the other side
into the trough as lightly as bird
began after a little to grow very
bold, and sat up to try my skill at pad
ding. But even small change in the
disposition of the weight will produce
violent changes in the behavior of cor
acle. And I had hardly moved before
the boat. giving up at once her gentle,
dancing movement, ran straight down

me giddy, and struck her nose, with .

ly I got into the way of the thing, and
guided my coracle among the waves,
with only now and then blow upon
her bows and dash of foam in my face.
I was now rapidly gaining on the
schooner; I could see the brass glisten
on the tiller as it banged about, and
still no soul appeared upon her decks.
I could not choose but suppose she
was deserted. If not, the men were
! living drunk below, where might bat
ten them down, perhaps, and do what l
chose with the ship.
For some time she had been doing the
worst thing possible for me-standing
still. She headed nearly due south,
yawing, Of course, all the time. Each
time she fell off her sails partly filled,
and these brought her, in nom ent,
right to the wind again. I have said
this was the worst thing possible for
me; for helpless as she looked in this
| situation, with the canvas cracking
like cannon, and the blocks trundling
and banging on the deck, she still con-
| tinued to run away from me, not only
with the speed of the current, but by
| the whole amount of her leeway, which
was naturally great.
But now, at last, had my chance.
The breeze fell, for some seconds, very
low, and the current gradually turning
her, the 'Hispaniola' revolved slowly
round her center, and at last presented
me her stern, with the cabin window
still gaping open, and the lamp over the
table still burning on into the day.
The mainsail hung dropped like ban

TO yield 20 Mr.. I5outelle, the chairman of
the naval committee, who was anxious to
secure consideration for the bill reported
by his committee for the relief of the vic
tins and survivors of the Maine disaster.
About twenty pages of the sundry civil bill
were disposed of to-day. Many efforts were
made by different members to inject river
and harbor items into the bill three of
them being successful. Amendments appro-
priating 100000 for Cleveland harbor, $780,
900 for Wilmington. Del, and increasing the
appropriation for Boston harbor from $780,
000 to $250,OO0 were adopted. AS contracts
for thess works were authorized they were
