the waterman, pointing with crooked fore
finger, to a, sloping ridge some hundred yards
inland, as he perceived that with each step l

ascended the incline as speedily as
could, and found that il was as he said; the
sand was firm enough where it was dry. In
deed, no theory is more ludicrous than the
romantic notion that the .Goodwins are a
quicksand. They were prosaically solid enough
when got TO that portion of them which
the sea had left for some. while uncovered
climbed upon little, ribbed hillock,
which, from its superior eminence,. afforded
the best view, and took survey Of the desc
late scene around.
The most conspicuous object, and the one
which. Immediately attracted my attention,
was the wreck OF which the boatman had
spoken. The great, gaunt black hull lay
about two hundred yards from me, high and
stranded. Her spars were all gone, except
the lower foremast which still stood, with
the yard crossed upon it, but saving the
ped.
walked leIsurely toward her, scanning
every inch OF the ground measured, with i
know not what foolish thoughts passing in
my mind Of the countless wealth buried in
the Goodwins, but l might as well have been
perambulating the Ramsgate sands, as far as
the possibility Of discovery in this direction
The surface was irregular, much cut up
by the action of the waves, with little pools
of blue water shimmering between che ridges,
and green crabs crawling among the weeds
at their bottoms. Yet, somehow, every COM
monplace object on which l gazed seemed TO
be fraught with vividness of suggestion,
inspired, of course, by the imagination going
to work upon the melancholy traditions Of
this ocean wilderness.
The rusty huke of an anchor, two-thirds
buried in the sand; blackened, worm-eaten
beam, with the tree-nails still sticking out of
it, the mangled remains of a sailors tarpau-
lin hat, a salt-whitened sea boot were all de-
tails to which my mind instantly fitted some
tale of disaster.
/ approached the wreck close, as she lay
with her great square stern toward me and
her bows hove high upon the sand Upon
the splntered remains of the nameboard
across her counter was still decipherable the
long white letters Of her name-Blekinge, NAL

with jerk of his chin, a little lug that lay
furled along the thwarts. There's nice

vas, when we come to put it up.
Every well!" said /, acquiescing under
the momentary influence of desire to view
the famous Goodwins, though not altogether
without a secret misgiving at venturing so
far in such little boat
My laconic reply, however, was quite suf
ficient for the old longshoreman. He jerked
his oars inboards out of the rowlocks and
fell to bustling about with his gear, till pres
the stimulation of excessive labor, hoisted the
sail upon it.
The light canvas filed to the almost i'm
perceptible draught, and / was surprised to
see how swiftly the water gllded past, with
quite a noisy tapping of it under the brows,
and a short oily wake stretching away astern.
The boatman, with complacent stare at
the set of his sail, came houndering aft, and,
shipping the rudder, laid the yoke-lines upon
my knees, with instructions to luff her up a
little and then keep her at that, after which
the lazy old rascal filed pipe and sank into
a posture of supine Incidence upon the bot
tom boards Of the boat.
However, presently found that his smok-
ing caused him TO moderate his garrulity,
which made me willing enough that he should
remain where he was, the more especially as
the little craft needed scarcely any attention.
The land grew into fair-like picture as
we drew out from it, delicate blending of
soft verdure with the white chalk Of the cliffs,
and the sounds of life came floating off it
oyer the polished surface in faint and dream
like echoes. There was haze hanging upon
the horizon, through which the distant YES
sells loomed In Elusive proportions, but when
L pointed to 1t and asked whether il might
not be an approaching fog the boatman re-
Piled that it was heat.
"Ill just suit nicely" said he. "I'm think

was painted the words "North Brake" the
wind freshened little, and came with quite
weight enough to make the boat keel under
the increased pressure of her sail Yet. in

very nearly three hours to cover the distance

/ ran the boat stem on through the little
fringe of foam that curled upon the margin
Of the shoal, and her nose grounded in tbe
soft sand. The waterman lowered the sail and
invited me to step out.

dangerous place. / don't trust 'em, and for

1t was my first visit to England, where
had gone on some legal business for the New
York firm of which was junior partner.
@ Before returning home, took few excur-
sions to various points Of interest, and, when
the old boatman came siding up to me, was
standing on the pier at Ramsgate, on q
bright September morning.

countenance, to the blue sea, stretching calm
as sheet Of pale glass beyond the pier wall.
Nothing could be better devised to pass a
long morning-to get away from the turmoil
and crowds of the land, than row out upon
the placid, haZy ocean, with perhaps the
luxury of plunge into the translucent brine,
where it ran deep and pure beyond the line
of sands.

He hustled away, while descended to the
