BY JAMES GRANT.

lowing from green and purple to a
faint gray tint, the sky was without a
cloud.
The waves danced and sparkled in
the morning sunshine, the fresh breeze
swept pleasantly over their whitening
tops and whistled through our rigging,
as we ran along the shore with consid-
cradle speed; and now our hearts beat
lightly, for the broad, free ocean was
around US, and on clearing the dan
gerous rocks at Punta de Anaga by
giving them wide berth, we felt the
heavier swell of the Atlantic as we
brought the 1arboard tacks on board,
and ran, close-hauled, on a taut bow
line between the Isles of Teneriffe and
Palma, keeping the weatherage of the
Costa Rtcan, and leaving her at the
same time fast and far astern.
We had delightful run through the
fertile Archipelago of the Fortunate
Isles, and, after clearing San Josef,
found the wind coming more aft. Long
after night had closed in and darkness
had enveloped all the sea and the Isle
of Teneriffe, the cone of the peak
shone redly in midair, with the light
OF the sun that had set in the western
waters of the Atlantic
For the whole Of that day we had
run fast through the water, making at
least seven knots an hour off the log
line, but midnight came before we saw
the last of the mighty Peak Of Adam.

w
AS the sur increased in heat, not
withStandins he season of the year, 1
was soon sensible of the comfort of
white clothing, when contrasted with
dark wooden or broadcloth, as the lat
ter absorbs, and the former repels,
the rays of the sun.
Marc Hislop illustrated this to me
by igniting paper with burning
glass; whenever the focus was brought
to bear upon dark Places such as
printed letters, they were instantly
consumed
We ran along the coast of Hispanio-
la, and saw the wavy ridges of its
mountains that tower into the clouds;
we sighted Tortuga, rocky island COW
cred with palm trees and sandalwood,
but surrounded by reefs and shoals;
and, rounding Cape st. Nicholas, stood
to the southwark between the great is
lands OF Jamaica and Cuba, but with
out seeing either of them at that
time
For three days we had dark and
cloudy weather.
About o'clock p. m. on the Oath of
January small speck, which appeared
grew rapidly into a gloomy cloud, and
swiftly, as if on the wings of a de-
stroying angel, it traversed the thick
ening air and the agitated sea, which
darkened beneath it's shadow; and SO
this speck came on, until it grew an
awful thunder-cloud.

CHAPTER XIV.
Antonio ell CubanO.

AS the strange boat pitched about on
! the waves some Of our men asserted
| that at times they could see a mans
head above the gunwale. Others ex-
pressed their doubts Of this, and in
the midst of such discussions we
sheered alongside. Hislop caught the
bow by the boat-hook, and while re-
tanning his hold, Tended off, to pre-
vent her being dashed against ours.
In the bottom of the boat, which
was evidently the clinker-built skiff
of a merchant vessel, and was all
painted yellow, as a preservation from
the sun in warm climate, there lay
under the thwarts a man, either asleep,
in 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 coal-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 a 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 boar frost on a bush
in winter.
AS we reused him he grasped his
knife tnstintively and repulsively, but
relinquished it, and then stared wildly
at us. muttering in implorfng tones:
aqua, aqua, por amor de Diosv'-
(water, water, for the love Of God.
"Misericordia! o senores-O Ave
Maria, misericordiav'
Here, Jack Spaniard, ship a drop of
this; it 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.

as sne cracked on under a press OF
sail, dashing the waves around her
ploughing SO freely and SO fearlessly
and wash the dark and unknown base
ments of the earth.
One glorious morning, when we were
| within a few days sail of Hispaniola
there occurred a circumstance which
was afterward a source of the deepest
regret to us all; how and why, will be
shown during the progress of my story.
The day was fine, even for that re-
gion of fine days. The Eugene was
running smoothly before the wind, and
Hislop, with considerable animation,
was detailing to the captain and me
the appearance of that rare phenome-
non, a lunar rainbow, which, by sin
gular good fortune, he had once seen
in these ATTITUDES, and which Aristotle
declares is never seen but at the time
Of the full moon-a declaration which
our learned Scotch mate treated with
contempt; for he was a strange fell
low, this Marc Hislop, and could with
equal facility dilate on the Apology OF
Plato and the method Of club-hauling
q square-rigSed vessel, or steering her
to her anchor in a gale of wind; on
the Prometheus of Eschylus, or the
proper mode Of lying too in a hurr1-
cane, with everything struck aloft, and
topsail yards on the cap; and now, on
the subject Of the lunar rainbow, he
was proceeding to quote from the
Portuguese Pilot Of Ramusio, when
Weston interrupted him by hailing
aloft:
"FOre-top-therer
aye, aye, SIR" was the usual re-
Spouse from Ned Carlton, a seaman
who was perched in the top.
what are you about?" asked Wes-
ton, angrily.
"Greasing the sling of the fore-yard,
SIR"
"Oh-I thought you we're making
hay, you are so slow about 1t. You
have been staring ahead for the last
twenty minutes, at least"
Because I think I see something,
said the seaman, annoyed by the nau-
teal taunt.
"Something?" reiterated Weston.
What is it? A church or windmill
going before the wind?"
Neither, sir-but a boat adrift."
How does it bear, Ned?" asked
Hislop, starting into the rigging.
ION the starboard bow, about two
miles off,
On hearing this the telescope was
resorted to, and we could plainly
enough see white object, which the
waves, as they rose and
fell, hid from US at times; and there
was great diversity OF opinion, for
one of the crew maintained that it was
a harbor buoy adrift.
cit must have drifted long way to
have come here retorted, Carlton,
land if you have your grandmother's
spectacles about you, wipe them clean,
put them on, and look again-for can
see plainly enough that it is a boat"
''Then we shall overhaul it," said
'Hislop, prepare to lower
ours, and to lay the fore-yard aback-"
The Eugenie's course was shaped to-
ward it, and when within a quarter of
a mile the foresail was laid to the
mast, the brig hove in the wind, and
the stern boat lowered; Hislop, Tom
two other hands and I
her and put off to inspect
and report upon what we could dis
cover. And so, with many surmises as
to wrecks, boats getting adrift or be-
ing washed away from their davits,
and so forth, we pulled swiftly toward
her, all stripped to our shirt sleeves,
Tor a hot West Indian sun was blazing
"a cloudless sky, and the air seemed
still and breathless.

SENT TO THE PENTTENTIARY.
The Bad Luck of a Georgia Postmaster
and Politician.

Savannah, Ga, December 13.-W. F.
Carter, ex-postmaster at Meldrim, Ga,
pleaded guilty in the United States
district court today to the charge of
embezzling funds of the government to
the extent of $500, and was sentenced
to two years in the federal penitentiary
at Columbus, O.
In entering the plea of guilt, Carriers
attorney made a statement to the court
in which he said that while the accused
was postmaster at Meldrim, he was also
chairman Of the Georgia populist execu-
tive committee. The committee needed
funds for campaign expenses and mem
bers of the committee assured Carter
that all that was needed to carry the
state was a little money. Said the at
torney: "They painted a beautiful pic
ture to Carter. He was promised a
good office-one hat would pay well.
He listened to the temptors and gave
them the one and, of course he is
guilty of the misrepresentation of
funds"
The populists failed to carry the
state, Carriers riendS failed to come
to his assistance, and he goes to prison.

He made a good record in the senate
and last year had the unanimous sup
port of the fusion members of the leg
islature. / think that in making this
appointment the governor acted wisely.
There are several democrats in the
state who would have filled the office
acceptably. but the fact that Allen
was last year the choice of all three
parties makes him the logical man for
the place. l a no doubt that a
democrat will be chosen next year 10
succeed enator Thurston and tia
will give our state a populist and a
democrat in h senate"

THAT PRITCHARD RESOLUTION.
State Chairman simmons Shows 1t Up
in Its Proper Light.
Especial to the Messeneer.)

Raleigh, N. c., December 13.-Demo-
cratic State Chairman Simmons said
tonight Of Senator Pritchard's resolu-
ton declaring the constitutional amend
ment in North Carolina unconstitu-
tional.
1T is soley for the purpose Of making
q political speech on that subject and
getting this before the public at gov
eminent expense and then distributing
it in North Carolina OF purse the SEN
ate does not sit for the purpose OF
passing ON abstract questions of law,
such questions being for the courts.
This is a proceeding without parallel
in h history of legislation in this or
any other country and recalls Pritch-
ards ridiculous effort in the last CAM
paign to have the government . send
troops to North Carolina t force the
people to submit to negro domination.
