CHAPTER XII.  "1 SAY, CAP,' SAID M. lIALL, "1 SIIOGLD !MOOD  A .FALLOW LIAM lIIAT "  While the whole countryside—aye, and the Granite City itself—were thrilled with awe and horror at the brutal murder of poor unoffending Craig Nicol, the Wolverine was making her way on the wings of a delightful ten-knot breeze to the Isle of Madeira..  Reginald had ascertained that there was nothing very serious the matter with Mr. and Mrs. Hall. They were nm down, however, very much with the gaieties of Paris and London, to say nothing of New York, and thought rightly that a long sea voyage would be the best thing to restore them. Madeira at. last! The beach, with its boulders or round sea-smoothed stones, was a difficult one to land upon. The waves or breakers hurled these stones forward with a hurtling sound that could be heard miles and miles away, then as quickly smled them back again. Nevertheless, the boat was safely benched, and there were men with willing bands and broad shoulders to carry Mr. and Mrs. llall and daughter safely on to dry land. Reginald was sure of foot, and lifting Matty in his arms as she crowed It ith delight, he bore her safe on shore. The great Newfoundland despised a boat, and hardly was she well off the yacht ere he I, apt,d overboard with a splash. And he also lauded, shaking himself 'free of gallons of water, lmrli made ritmbows and haloes around hum. lEn drenched his master pretty severely. But it. was a tine joke to Oscar, so, grinning and laughing as only this breed can, be went tearing along the beach sini bark again at. tim rate of fifteen knots an hour. 11`lien he did come hack, he licked his master's hand and little Matty's face. "Nothing like a gsd race," he seemed to say, "tii set the blood in mot on after a long bath."  While the party it in the piazza of a beautiful tree-shaded hotel, sipping iced sherbet, let we say word about the nature of the Wolverine's voyage. The yacht did not belong to the Halls. She was lent them for the ornse round the Horn to the t.'outh Pacific, and ninny a beautiful island they meant to visit, and see many a strange and wondrous s;ght. For hitherto all their travelling experiences had been confined to Europe. Bet your true American wants to see all the world when he can afford it. It was health the Halls were in search of, combined with pleasure if possible ; but they meant to collect ail the curios they could get, and they also felt certain—so Mrs. Hall said—that they would find the South Sea savages very interesting persons indeed.
