(Continued.O

They were 4 Wild looking crew, NOT
excepting Captain Organ. They were
powerful men, big limbed, with shaggy
dark hair and mustaches, not i'll look
ing and rather picturesque than other
wise. They wore somewhat tight meth
eF garments and q rough, easy fitting
leather shirt reaching nearly to the
knees, but cut up at the thighs to give
perfect freedom to the legs. Over this
they wore a coat of mail, a compromise
between plate and chain armor, and
long boots Of stiff hide, into the heels
of which was hxed a spike about half
an inch long. A low steel helmet fit
ting close on to the head completed
theis attire. For arms each man ear
ried a long serviceable looking sword,
which hung from broad belt fastened
loosely round the waist. Except that
his armor was brighter and that he
had a short feather at the side of his
from his comrades.
During the meal I was considerably
surprised to find that I could under
stand my companions conversation.
Organ when speaking to me spoke in
English, or, rather, Irish, with a
bregue, especially when he got excited,
which shall make no attempt to re-
produce in these pages, When talking
to his men he spoke in their language,
which was the most curious eonglom-
Grafton have ever heard. 1t was ap-
parent1y made up of several tongues,
with a general groundwork of Norman
French. English, German and italian
were represented, and, although there
were words here and there which I
could attach no meaning to, being a
good linguist, could understand most
of what was said, and If at first 1 was
not so easily understood I soon man
aged to talk pretty freely.

snow caked, descending somewhat
sharply to the right. ascending grad

was the way I had come last night. I

glacier stretched UP to the mountain
opposite, a portion of it ending at the
roadway against which the winds had
piled loose snow, luckily for me, but
part OF it had cracked and sunk. turn

yards and than ending abruptly in
what last night had appeared to me
as a black line. Here the glacier was

dashed itself into foam over its rocky

The road began to ascend again, and

Of a city, at one side of which was a
