Within an hour from the time of our

acre has been alive with seething
multitude of sharks, while from every
quarter came drifting silently an in
calculable host of sea birds, convert

semblance of a plain of new fallen
snow. The body of whale before an

CHAPTER XIV.
Antonio el Cubano.

As the strange boat pitched about on
the waves some Of our men asserted
that at times they could see q mans
head above the gunwale. Others ex-
pressed their doubts OF this, and in
tho midst Of such discussions we
sheered alongside. Hislop caught the
bow by the boat-hook. and while re-
taining his hold. Tended of. to pre-
vent her being dashed against ours.
In tho bottom Of the boat. which
was evidently the cllnker-built skin
of q merchant vessel. and was all
painted yellow, as a preservation from
the sun in a warm climate. there lay
under the thwarts u man. either asleep.
in O stupor. or dead-at first we knew
not which; but he was pale enough to
have passed for the last.
BY his tawny visage and black
beard. his long scarlet cap and sash.
in which a sheathed knife was stuck.
and also by the rings in his ears, we
recognized him to be Spanish sea-
man. He was a man naturally Of a
tall and powerful frame. but of for
bidding aspect-of great personal
strength. but wasted apparently by
toll, by exposure and famine.
A dark and coagulated crust of some
thing like blood appeared on his baked
lips and thick mustaches, on the black
ness Of which the saline particles of
the sea foam. dried by the tropical sun.
glittered white as hoar frost on a bush
in winter.
As We reused him he grasped his
knife instintively and repulsively. but
relinquished 1t. and then stared wildly
at us. muttering in imploring tones:
Aqua, aqua, por amor de DIos!'-
(water, water. for the love of God)
"Misericordia! o senores-O Ave
Maria, misericordia!'
Here, Jack Spaniard. ship a drop Of
this; 1t is real Jamaiky," said Tattooed
Tom. pouring between the parched lips
of the Spaniard some rum. which likely
had been put In the boat by the fore
sight of Hislop.
The black eyes OF the castaway d.
lated and flashed as the spirit revived
him, restoring his wasted energies,
and bringing a hectic color to his
cheeks.

lections of our adventures at the
Grand Canary.
Restored by the mouthful of alco-
hol, the Spaniard staggered up, but
with difficulty: and then we perceived
that gouts of blood, dried and encrust
cd by the sun. were on his person and
on the inside OF tho boat. especially on
one OF the thwarts.
What is this--blood?" asked His
lop, with an imperceptible shuddcr.
The Spaniard started and became, If
possible. paler at the question. as he
nervously clutched the gunwa!e of his
boat with both hands, and said. in
broken accents:

Antonio had an excessive dislike for
