here and there by little white wave-

awnings from o tropical sun in 0 clear

ing than the island itself are the
clouds piled above it, masses upon
massos Of them, rolling and tumbling
and oontendin9 among themselves:
Great, dazzling white piles swell
higher and higher above the peaks,
growing first irldescent with beautiful
opal tints, then Oh ominous copper
color, and finally seeming to burst
asunder and send up fine white streams
far into the blue of heaven. like vol

sides white feeces drift like wisps oi

while through tue valleys dark-gray
streamers trail like damp and newly
combed hair.
Night comes on, and lurid lightning
rushes through these clouds, throw
ing the moon-lit sen into pale signiA-

on the horizon arise ftful flares and
flashes out Of smaller mounds of
clouds hanging over other unseen
islands. These lightnings oil seem
voiceless, and still your ship speeds
