lash. He might. however, us well have
appealed to stone. The second / Q were
duly administered and he was then cast
loose. He fell in heap on tho deck and
for some time refused to bulge, but on
being promised an additional half dozen
If he did not do as he was ordered no
soon found his feet and bolted down the
gangway into the gig alongside, which
immediately set off for the mail steamer.
Half an hour later the boat returned,
bringing with her tho men whose part
it had been to insure the stoppage of the
vessel and tho capture of the passenger

five minutes of raising the boat to the
davits we We're under way. In an hour
we had lost sight of the mailboat and
We're making as straight course us pos
sible back to the settlement.
