H. Waking when the morning sun was
! high in the heavens, we found him they
called the cordwainer lying stark and
stiff. Poor lad, he had better stuck to
his cobbling bench and left adventure
| ing in the western seas to tougher bod
les and more contented minds! For in
life he was ever grumbling and COM
planning, as is often the case with those
of his craft, and in death he made but
thin and weakly corpse. We gave
| him the best burial we could, digging
| it high with sea worn powders, and
then set ourselves, those of us who
could walk. to hunting for breakfast.
The search was not marked by any
overpowering success. Our island was
sparsely wooded with low scrub, but
! it's parched surface bore no fruit trees.
Birds there were in plenty, but we
could not catch them. AID so we had
! to be coitented with a neal of shell
| fish. of which fortunately the rocks
! yielded an ineNhaustible store. At first
| we hoped to have been able to cook
| these, for many of us had seen the In
dams light Il fire by sharply rubbing a
small pencil of wood along larger
block, and we knew that Willie Trc-
halion, though he never acquired the
I true heather deNterity, had often sue
ceeded in initiating them. Now, how
ever, we had not the proper sort of
1 timber, and the various makeshfts we
! tried refused even to smolder. So, as

made it imperative that our stay on

achieve a system Of dealing decently with

fore, the surgeons of the police depart

stations in fostering heaps, and turning
them out hungry at daybreak to beg their
