wind. BY noon the next day the raft
was complete; water and provisions
were safely slowed on board; a secure
and dry place was fitted up for Anime

ropes, sails and everything which could
prove useful, In case OF their being
forced on shore, we're put In. Muskets
and ammunition were also provided,
and everything was ready, when the
men came aft and pointed out to Philip
that there was plenty OF money on
board, which 1t was folly to leave,
and that they wished to carry as much
as they could away with them. As this
intimation was given In a way that
made It evident they intended Il should
be complied with, Philip did not re-
fuse; but resolved in his own mind
that when they arrived at a place
where he could exercise his authority.

lose her again would be more terrible
than not to have found her. Dead,
she surely loved him; her action prov

In the certainty Of that love than, by
staying. perhaps revive the old bitter
ness which his return to her unframed
while all her beloved family lay dead,
might recall?
He was about to retreat. 1t was too
late, the lady turned and saw him. He
stood awkwardly before her. She look
ed at him in puzzled inquiry.
Suddenly he cried out "Erma."
She moved back a pace in surprise at
being so addressed by an apparent
stranger.
Once his tongue loosened Merrill gave
her no chance to escape. In quick,
incoherent words he poured forth the

his sorrow for her grief. and at last an
earnest plea that she would prove more
kind than In the past.

into the lady's pale, sweet face. The

guise of this impetuous elderly man?
She had neve rthought OF him save as

her bidding. At last she seemed to
understand. For a moment the corners
Of the lovely mouth forgot to droop.
BY the light Of memory the man and
woman grew young again.

hasty and confused retreat. Complete

cask was opened. 80 last every man
had obtained ~ much as he could
carry, and had placed his spoil on tho
raft with his baggage, Cr In tho boat
TO which he had been appointed. All
was now ready-Amino was lowered
down and took her station; the boats
took In tow the raft, which was cast
of from the vessel, aud away they
went with the current. pulling with all
their strength to avoid being stranded
upon that part OF the sGndbank which
appeared above the water. This was
the great danger which they had to
encounter. and which they very mar
rowly escaped.
They numbered oiRhty-six souls in
all; In the boats there were thirty
two; the rest were on tho raft, which,
being well built aud full Of timber,
tlOatcd high out of the water, that
the sea was so smooth. IL had been
agreed upon by Philip and Krantz that
one OF them should remain on tho raft
and the other in one Of tho boats; but
at the time the raft quilted the ship
they were both on the raft, as they
wished to consult, as soon rs they dis
covered tho direction OF the current,
which would he tho most advisable
course for them to pursno, II appeared
that as soon rs the current had passed
the bank II took u moro southerly d.
rection toward New Guinea. II was
then debated between them whether
they should or should not land on that
Island, the natives of which were
known TO be puslllanimous yet treach-
erous. A long debate ensued, which
ended. however, In their resolving not
to decide as yet, but wait and see what
might occur. In the meantime the
boats pulled TO the westward, while
the current set them fast down In a
s%outherly direction.
Night came on and the boats dropped
the grapnels with which they had been
provided, and Philip Was glad to lind
that the current waS not near so strong
and the grapnels held both boats and
raft. Covering themselves up with tho

Krantz remained on watch, and
Philip retired to the ropose which no
so much needed. Amino met him with
open arms.
IL have no fear, Philip" said she;
Il rather like this Wild, adventurous
