or the parents, finding it big and strong,
therefore uninteresting, might neglect
to bring it food. had to teach the par
ents to bring me food, and this did.
When one of them appeared ON the edge
of the pool with fish in his mouth,
used to take it from him myself. make
much of him and stroke him and whis-
tie the air he seemed to like best for his
special editication. Then cut out a
piece of the fish and gave it to the young
ster, but always insisted upon the fish
being first given to myself. Eventually
they always did this of their own accord
and would even pass by the youngster
and come Topping up the rock toward
me with the fish in their mouths. All
this, as may be imagined, was a work
of time. Yet the whole business of train
ing the seals took only little more than
three weeks.

ATTEMPTED ESCAPE VIA THE SEALS TUN-
NEY


OF course from the moment that I
became aware of the seals presence the
thought naturally suggested itself to me
that might be able to get out through
the same tunnel or boring by which the
seals came in. Immediately after secur-
ing the young seal in the manner which
have described, took off my clothes
and swan to the opening of the tunnel,
which was like a small cave at the 9TH
or side of the pool. Here I could only
penetrate yard or two. Dropping my
feet down and feeling for the opening, I
discovered it. I returned, and waiting
till the water of the pool was at its low

ebb Of the tide would have barred this
tunnel sufficiently to enable swimmer
to get through. was disappointed in
this. The water, even at low tide, filed
the tunnel and stood above the ragged
portal to the distance of between two
and three feet. By diving l might get
through, but not otherwise. This was
very sore disappointment, for I had at
first felt ioyously certain that I could

with its parents. So pleased was / by
the sudden turn which things had taken
in my favor that became quite joyous
and happy, whistled and sang gayly
and awoke distant echoes, for the cave
was far larger than have indicated
and was even of vast extent. Resolved

as loud as I could in hope of attracting
the notice of some passing boat. This
continued to be practice with me for
many days, but the distance was so great
that none of the fishermen ever heard
me.

CHAPTER Xxx.

A PSYCHOLOGICAL EXPERIMENT..
One night about three weeks after my
entombment, as l sat beside the fire
thinking mournfully Of home and what
they were all doing there now, l
thought, after looking at my watch,
that this was Charley's bed hour, and
the child's singular countenance and
large eyes-indeed he seemed oil eyes,
like young crow-rose before my mind.
Then I remembered having read some
where, l think it was in one of Bulwer-
Lytton's novels, that there were some
persons SO firmly and sensitively organ
lied that person with whom they were

bris of all kinds, bones, etc. i knew
that the supply was utterly inadequate
to enable me to mount to the aperture,
but would make the attempt neverthe-
less. OF course it failed, but certain
portion of the incline was thus made
ascendable, and this was something. The
storms of the approaching winter might
fling in sufficient driftwood, boards and
even beams big enough to enable me to
construct a ladder. This idea of lad
der was present in my mind almost from
the moment that entered my prison.
The extreme brittleness of the timber,
among which there was hardly solid
bit, had prevented me from making the
attempt before. l now determined to
utilize the skeletons of the sheep and
goats for the purpose and unwind the
tether of the young seal to supply fas-
tening material, keeping only the wire
for tether. On the day after l discov-
cred those bones set to work. Many
of them were too brittle to be of any
use; some were sound; others, though
too brittle or too small to be separately
of sufficient strength to bear my weight,

ner. Though knew that had neither
material enough nor Irvine enough, l Ia
bored on. With every round made
was coming nearer to my deliverance.
Yet / believe my fishing rod could sup
ply more material for the latter than all
the rest put together. Seeing that even
by cutting up the latter my ladder
would not be near long enough, l for
bore to destroy the rod, knowing that l
could do it at any time. 1t was we'll
that refrained, though I have not had
occasion to mention the fact yet. Short
ly after my imprisonment I was aware
that pigeons of the slate colored varie-
ty, common along this coast, were in
the habit of roasting somewhere in this
cave. In the dusk of the evening l had
often seen them as they whirred through
the window and disappeared into the
interior darkness. While was engaged
in tanning the seals had made close
exploration Of the cavern, with the hope
of finding their roost, and at last discov-

cred it. Standing perfectly still in diff
ferent parts of the cave and listening
intently. could Mt one point hear them
making little sleepy noises, but ut such
height above me that, though kim
died considerable fire here, l could not
sec them. Now, however, shortly after
that exploration Of the long gallery, l
heard similar noises ut different point
and seemingly proceeding from II spot
s,nuch nearer to the floor of the cavern.
Here, with the aid of torch, l could
see somehalf dozen of them upon ledge,
all very close together. Next day
fastened large Gunner hook to the ex-
trelnity Of my fishing rod and leaned the
rod against the ledge upon which they
roasted. then lit a fire, such as would
throw faint light upon the ledge, and
lay down close to the rod. Duly the
pigeons arrived and took up their night
quarters. They looked at first little
surprised, and kept peering about with
their little, bright round eyes, but pres
emily clustered close together, as their
custom was, and seemed to fall asleep.
Indeed they were by this time pretty
we'll used to the fires and lights of the
cavern. Cautiously grasping the rod
with one end and bringing the point of
the hook over the back of one of the
sleepers, drew the rod down quickly,
yet gently. ( had the satisfaction of
knowing that my prey was secured. My
fear, of course, was that he might be
mortally injured; but, as it turned out,
he was not. had not the least inten-
ton of turning him into food. My in
tention was to utilize him as messen-
ger. I now cut off the corner of my
pocket handkerchief, the corner which
bore my initials, fastened it tightly
round his leg and let him go, nor did
ever see him afterward. I was afraid
that the remainder would not again use
this roost, but few nights afterward
two of them settled down here, while /,
as usual, lay in wait below. struck
down and secured one of them in the
manner that have already described.
To the leg of this pigeon tied my ring.
It was one which il the bird were shot
or taken would be at once identified as
mine by any member of our family, for
on the ineide it was engraved with
Latin inscription. 1t had been given to
me by greataunt few years before.
l afterward captured third and to him
fastened gold shirt stud Of a peculiar
pattern, which felt sure my brother
Ned at least, who often examined it Gu
siously, would at once identify as mine.
After this third capture I could effect
no more for long time. The birds
were quite frightened away from that
perch. Finally, not long before my
brother Edward made his way to me, l
caught fourth. Round the leg of this
messenger wrapped tightly piece of
my handkerchief, on which l had in
scribed with blood characters state
ment Of my whereabouts.
