A change seemed now to have come
over us. We were, it is true, amongst
a rude and barbarous people, cut off
from all intercourse with the rest of
the world and deprived of many things
which we had been accustomed to re-
gard as essential to our happiness; but
even then we found many reasons for
being grateful to the Disposer of events.
Our actual wants were supplied, and
the natives soon evinced disposition
to consider us friends and treat US as
such. To the latest day of our lives we
shall remember some of them with
heartfelt respect and affection; and.
most of all, regret our inability to re
quite them for the favors which they
voluntarily bestowed upon US. Espec-
cially should we rejoice to revisit that
lonely spot of earth and carry with us
to those children of nature the means
of civilization and the blessings of
Christian faith and Christian morality.
And, should the Government of enlight-
ened America ever see proper to extend
to them some proof of it's regard it
would afford us unspeakable pleasure
to have it in our power to communicate
to them the exalted principles which
might incline this highly favored ma
ton to the performance of so noble
deed
Finding it important to be able to
converse with the natives, we improv-
ed every opportunity to become ac-
quainted with their language. Having
but little to occupy our attention. it
was not long before we had acquired a
tolerable knowledge of it; and we
found our situation much more pleas
ant as we became familiar with 1t. Our
great object was, as the reader will
naturally suppose, to contrive some way
of escape. Our only means of accom-
plishing this was by friendly and ami
cable negotiations and to make them
understand our wishes and convince
them that Ii would be for their interest
to aid us in returning to our native
land were essential to our success.
We had not long been with them be-
fore we became acquainted with the
fact that upon the opposite end of the
island there was another tribe and that
the two divisions of the inhabitants
were not on the most friendly terms
with each other. Intelligence had in
sonF way been communicated to those
: who lived remote from the spot where
fortune had thrown us that we were
DESTROYS of leaving the island, and,
probably with view of gaining some
advantage, they sent US a message in
forming US of their Willingness to as
sist in constructing a boat sufficiently
large to convey us across the water.

proposal and to persuade US to so to

CHAPTER w.

An interesting incident now occurred.
Just at the time when the servant of
the prophecies brought out the mate
rails for our repast we observed, at a
little distance, a singular looking being
approaching US. His appearance was
that of man of sixty. His hair was
long and gray, unlike that of the ma
tives His legs, arms and breast were
tattooed. His step was quick and
firm, his motions indicating that he felt
himself a person of not a little import
ance. His teeth We're entirely gone and
his mouth was black with the use of
"kabooa" Judge of our emotions on
hearing this strange being address us
in broken English! His first exclama-
ton was, MY God, you are English
meni" He Immediately said "You are
safe now" but he gave us to under
stand that it was next to miracle that
we had escaped being killed on the
water.
This person was by birth an English
man and had been on the island about
twenty mine years. He told US that he
had been a halter by trade and that
hts name was Charles Washington. He
had been private in the British naval
Cruising on those seas, he had, while on
duty, been guilty of some 'trifiing Of
fence, and, apprehending that he should
be severely punished for 1t, had left
the ship and taken up his residence up
on the island. He seemed to be con-
tented with his station and had no de-
sire to return TO his native country. He
had attained to great celebrity and was
the sixth chief among them. His au-
thority seemed great and he exercised
it with exemplary discretion.
Observing the provisions before US,
he told us that they were for our use
and desired us to partake of whatever
we preferred. Seeing that we were
likely to be somewhat annoyed by the
crowd of young persons who had col
lected around us, he swung his battle
axe over their heads and, giving them
to understand that we belonged to him;
Immediately caused them to disperse.
Arrangements We're soon made for
our accommodation. A part of one OF
the ''pyes" was appropriated to our use
and we were furnished with mats and
other things for our comfort and con-
venienee. Here we remained for about
a month and were regularly supplied by
the natives with a sufficiency of pro-

afterwards learned, had been on the is
land for several years and We're left

however, we had no reason TO regret
this state of things, for on finding that
their neighbors were disposed to assist
US a spirit of emulation was aroused
among them and for a time we had
some hopes that the excited energies
of this tiny nation would lead to the
performance of some exploit which, in
the end. might place at our disposal
the means of deliverance.
Our maintenance had by this time
become so great a tax upon their re-
sources that it was found expedient to
cause some of our number to be re-
moved to settlement about mile dis

der a strong escort taken to the place.
This did not please us, as we preferred
remaining with our companions; but
their expostulations or resistance would
have involved us in worse difficulties
and we submitted. In our new situa-
ton we were we'll supplied with provi-

lowed to visit our friends at the other
town and spent our time as agreeably
as could be expected under the circum-
stances.
Previously to this some steps had
been taken towards constructing a sort
of boat or vessel to convey US home.
Finding the natives disposed to part
with US, for a stipulated consideration,
and to render us any assistance in their
power, we left no means unemployed
to induce them to exert themselves to
the utmost, and to their credit be it said
it was more owing to their inability
than to their want of inclination that
we were not entirely successful. An &C
count of their proceedings cannot fail
of being interesting.
After much elaboration and many
consultations upon the momentous sub
feet, 1t was agreed to commence opera
lions. Their prophecies had been duly
consulted and the assistance of their
divinity had been inplored with great
formality. Before they ventured upor
the undertaking it was deemed advis-
able to hold festival. An event of sc

to transpire without being duly solem-
nized. Tradition furnished no account
of anything equal to this attempt! Ac-

if more of our wealthy or at least pros
perous Prohibitionists would give for
the promotion of our work, as they give

interested One of our national lead
ers, a man of large MEANS receives
$4,000 worth of praise every time he
contributes $500 to our work, while the
fellow who can only give dollar hangs
his head with shame that he can not
do as his heart prompts him. After all,
if any good cause depends upon men of
wealth to give "as the Lord hath pros
pered them,' it will die of non-support.
The hope of all such causes and of ours
lies in the regular contributions Of a
large number of persons of moderate
or even limited means. Many such, as
well as many men of wealth, need

SHALL WE ADVANCE?

There is tide in the affairs of par
ties, as of men, which, taken at it's
flood, leads on to fortune Such tide,
we believe, is now upon the Prohibition
party.
The character and conduct of the
liquor traffic loudly demand it's imme-
date death. The issue is not one re-
quiring or even properly admitting of
further consideration. While we con-
slider and delay, hearts are being brok
en- and lives are being wrecked. The
saloon ought to die NOW. And, thank
God, an increasing number of people
are saying so.
Then, too, it is daily becoming clear
er to large numbers of haters of the sa
Icon that the old parties neither will
nor can abolish it. They are not built
that way. There is also kinder feel
ing toward the Prohibition party than
formerly The church doors were new
er so wide open for the discussion of
every phase of the issue as now. There
is also a growing respect for the stick
ing qualities of the party and we be-
lieve an increasing hope that it may
after all prove to be the means in the
hand of God of setting the nation free
from the saloon curse. The time, too,
is suspicious. Three years are before
us in which to build over against the
bitterness and follies of another ma
tional campaign. Many of our men are
in better shape to give time and
money to the work than years ago. If
any had overworked and over given,
they have had time to recover them
selves. Party leaders have been learn
ing wisdom. Wiser plans are in oper-
alton. The party is better organized
and still better organization is being
diligently labored for. Money is be-
ing given by a larger proportion Of
our voters in larger amounts and
more regularly than ever before.

vote in Minnesota was a gratifying in
