NEW VOYAGES
OF sINBAD THE SAILOR.
Wherein I. Discovered the Unique aud
 Hitherto UnLnowh island of Tick

ling.
 After sinbad the Sailor had stayed at Bagdad a long time and had seen every thing, he told his friend, the Ruler Ha- roun al Rasehid, that he was going on another voyage 10 some part Of the world that nobody had ever seen before.
 He gave Nebo a handful of diamonds and told him to go to Bassorah and buy fine shi9 and load it with all known kind of things to eatt, enough to last g year.
 Nebo was tall. block slave, born dumb, who was never known to laugh. He always did exactly as his master told him to do. He got a swift camel and went to Bassorah, where he looked over all the ships and bought the best one he could snd.
 He loaded it with good things to eat, and hired 2 lot os sailors. and then sent word to Sinbad that everything was ready. Sinbad got camel. waved his handkerchief to the king, and in sew days was at Bassorah. They sailed and sailed and sailed till they got to the other side of the world, where there was nothing but water. They were out of sight of land for near ly a year. and then their good was nearly gone.
 Every day Sinbad sent a man up into the mas.s 70 keep lookout for land, but ell the man could see was wter.
 By and by. when they thought they would never see land any more, they noticed pieces of trees floating on the waves, and the water became green in stead of blue. and little birds began to fly around the ship. So they knew they | were not Gar from land. Early the next morning the man went into the rigging again. As soon as he reached the top of the mast he sang out | Land ho.''
 Where away?" asked Sinbad the Sailor. Every sailor pricked up his ears and looked around to see the land.
 "Sou-sou-east, half east, three points off the starboard bow" said the look out
 ! They turned the ship toward land. and in little while everybody could see the island. It looked like little cloud on the ocean at first: but it grew bigger and bigger, as they sailed closer to it, and by and by it was like any other island, with threes growing on it and the waves dashing against the sandy shore. l Sinbad the Sailor looked at it through his sryglass and could not see any people at all
 I'm glad there are no people there, ? I he said. We can do just as we please, 1 Maybe it is the Island of Diamonds. Lower a boat"
 So they got boat out and half dog en sailors jumped into it. Nebo wanted to jump in. but Sinbad l told him to say on the ship. Nebo look ed very. sorry, because he always want I ed to keep close to Sinbad. He used to pick weeds in Sinbad's fathers garden when Sinbad was little boy, and he seemed to think Sinbad was a little boy 1 still.
 l Sinbad jumped into the boat, and the six sailors made the oars dart through l the water.
 l The little boat went right to the beach and rolled to short on a big, round wave.
 l As soon as the boats nose touched the sand . sailor jumped out, but the mo- ment the touched the ground he doubled l up and laughed, and then began to kick and finally rolled over and over on the sand and laughed till he cried.
 He acted as if he were being tickled in in the ribs and under the arms and chin and on the soles of his feet all at once.
 Whats the matte-?" asked Sinbad, as cross as bear. "Is that fellow crazy? Jump out and catch him before he rolls into .he wateri"
 The other sailors leaDed out Of the boat and were going to reach out for the first sailor. when they began to laugh and double themselves un and dance around. They sorgot all about their mate and began to act just as he did. They rolled over and over. kicked up their heels and roared with laughter This made Sinbad very angry He took a piece of rope to whip the sailors and jumped out Of the boat. He ran up and was going to strike one of the sailors. but his foot slipped, and the rope flew out of his hand
 The very moment the rope left his hand he began to feel g tickling all over like thousand fingers running up and down his ribs and something chucked him under the chin, and the soles of his feet began to itch si that he had tc dance.
 He began to laugh in spite of himself
 He looked all around and didn't see any hands or anything tickling him. but il kept right on tickling l He laughed more and more and danc- ed harder, till by and by he began tc kick and roll over and over like the others.
 They were on the Island of Ticklingl
 Nebo watched Sinbad through the snyglass and saw he was in trouble and he became very much excited. Ht motioned to .he others on the ship tt ge. another boat and save Sinbad an6
 his sailors. but the people on the shr were afraid.
 Then Nebo tried to lower boat him self but they stopped him. He tried tt shout to Sinbad. but, being dumb. ht couldn't make sound.
 Finally, when the others were no looking, he jumped out of the ship into
 the water and started to swim to land
 He was big. strong slave. and swan very fast In few minutes he reached the island and ran towards Sinhad.
 As soon as Nebo stepped on the lant he fel. the same tickling feeling, bu it did not bother him much, becaus, ba bod ,aaxas lav9hnd in his lifa an,
