strange group foregathered beside the

one of them negress. Another was
clearly enough colonial proprietor,
a heavily built man of middle age,
purple faced. 1 passed these by with

dashing looking blade, of not more
than forty. attired In blue slashed
coat, ornamented with gilt buttons,
and bedecked at collar and cuffs with
| profusion of lace. A saffron colored
waistcoat failed to conceal his richly
beruff1ed shirt, and the hilt Of napier
was rather prominently displayed.
Such handles were frequently enough
seen, but 1t was this mans face which
made marked contrast with his gay
attire. He was dark and hook-nosed,
apparently Of foreign birth. with black

even at that distance / could perceive |
the lines of scar across his chin. Al |
together there was an audacity to his |
face, daring, convincing me he was |
no mere lady's knight but one to whom |
fighting was trade. He was pointing |
us out to his companion, apparently /
joking over our appearance, in an en-
deavor to amuse. Seemingly she gave
small heed to his words, for although /
her eyes followed where he pointed
they never once lighted with smile,
nor did / see her answer his sallies.
She was scarcely more than a girl
dressed very simply in some clinging
dark stuff, with loose gray cloak

neat bonnet of straw perched upon a
mass Of coiled nair. The face beneath
was sweetly piquant, with dark eyes
and rounded cheeks flushed with
health. She stood, both hands clasping I

left on my memory was that of inno- c

tenderness.

in tho year 1857, and which,
through nine generations, had
been carefully preserved, yet

was followed and discoIored by
years; occasionally page was
missing, and the writing Itself
had become almost indecipher-

The greater portion of that voyage
of So days 1 would blot entirely from

describe 1t in any detail-the foul
smells, the discomfort, the ceaseless
horror Of food, the close companion
ship Of men turned into mere animals
by suffering and distress, the weari-
some days, the black, sleepless nights,
the poisonous air, and the brutality of
guards. I can never forget these
things, for they have SCARED my soul.
The hatch above remained open, but
carefully guarded night and day, while
we were permitted on deck for air and
exercise only in squads Of ten, two
hours out Of every twenty-four. This
alone served to break the dread mo
notony Of the voyage. From our exer-

low drenched. to tho skin, but glad to
even pay that price for two hours of
fresh air, and an opportunity to gaze
about at sea and sky. We were herd
ed well forward, q rope dividing us
from the main deck, which space the
passengers aft used as a promenade.
There were only three women aboard,
