THE TRIHONEl! OF MIO-OCEAN.
Lute one Hummer afternoon, a dozon years
Jgo, a military white uinn stood before an
idolatrouH temple on an island iu the South
1'acific.
He was of middle age, tall, thin, and
gaunt, with rugged features and sorrowful
eyes, and with every sign of goodness and
intelligence.
Ui'Hide him was a grim stone idol, in gro
tesque human form, more than twice as tall
as hiniHelf, which he had just finished, as was
indicated by the mallet and chisel in his hands.
"It is done," he muttered. "And these
heathen little suspect that I have cut my
Home and story into the base of this idol."
lie ran his eye rapidly over the inscription
in question. It was as follows:
"The Ptli or May. lsrss, I, D.ivM T.osfer, of the firm
Of Lester .V Mihdla, of Norfolk, Virginia, Hulled dm a
fusNeiitfor from (.'hurlenton lor Hong Koiitf, via ( ape

niy companions perished, I reached this Island. The
Idolatrous inhabitants made me a slave In their
temple, and for more than four years I have been
doing menial oltlces and carving Images. I have
been chained every night, and watched continually
by duv, but have nevertheless made three attempts
at escape, and shall soon make another doubtless

these words upon this idol, praying any one who
mav see them to report mv fate, if possible, to my
laiullv at Norfolk, v. Finished this Inscription tills
7th diiy ol July, IpSI."
For several minutes the prisoner contem
plated these lines in silence, and then aroused
himself, looking warily around.
"Three times I have tried to escnpo in a
canoe," he muttered, "and every time I was
caught, and visited with tortures. To bo
caught again iu such an attempt will be cer
tain death. Yet I will risk the first opportu
nity that offers. This longing for freedom
and my family is becoming a positive mad
ness. 'Oh, my God ! what is thnt ?"
He gazed in perfect stupefaction to the east
ward, far out upon the ocean.
There, miles and leagues away, was a ship,
her white sails gleaming as she lny becalmed
upon the waters I
"A ship! a ship!" cried Lester, sobbingly.
"At last, oh Heaven ! At last my prayer is
answered !"
THE FKISON Eli'H HOME.
On the east bnnk of the Elizabeth river,
just out of Norfolk, and overlooking Hamp
ton Heads, stood a beautiful cottage, the home
of the wife and daughter of David Lester,
the prisoner of the lone island in the far
racitic.
Near the close of a lovely afternoon in May,
Mrs. Lester and her daughter sat together
upon their front verandah.
The mother was a lovely, sweet-faced, sad
eyed woman of two and thirty years.
The daughter, Amy Lester, not yet fifteen,
Was a strange compound of child and woman.
"You are thinking of father, dear mother?"
murmured the maiden, as she marked the
lady's longing gaze.
"Yes, child. Your father, my husband;
where is he? Somewhere under the sea
waves, wrecked on a desert island, or lan
guishing on a hostile shore ? It is five years
since he left us on that fatal voyage to China.
My reason assures me that he is dead; yet,
Amy, I can only think of mm as living.
"It is so with me, mother," said Amy, with
a tremulous quiver of her lips. "I dream
often that he is living that he is coming
Lome!"
"We need him in a hundred ways," said
Mrs. Lester, sighing. "If anything were to
happen to me, Amy, I shudder to think what
would become of you. You have been
brought Tip in luxury, and you would feel
keenly any change to poverty. "
"Are we not rich, then, mother ?" asked
Amy, in surprise.
"I supposed so, dear, until three years ago,"
replied the mother sadly. "Your father was
a merchant and ship-owner, a partner of Colo
nel Nichols. But two years ago Colonel
Nichols informed me that the outstanding
debts of the firm more than balanced the
assets; in short, Amy, that ho was on the
verge of bankruptcy, his fortune- and ours
alike wrecked!"
"I don't like Colonel Nichols !" said Amy,
thoughtfully. "If he lost all his money with
our, how does he live in such grand style ? To
whom do his ships and great house belong ?"
"To his nephew, Ally Bell. Colonel
Nichols is Ally's guardian. The Colonel has
nothing of his own, excepting a farm or two
up-country which were not risked in the busi
ness.
Amy contracted her little brows reflectively,
and was about to reply, when the garden gate
swung on its hinges, and a boyish figure came
lightly up the walk.
"Its Ally, mother it's Ally Bell!" ex
claimed Amy, all smiles and blushes. "I'll
bring him to you."
The voiinc ttirl ran lightly down the veran
dab steps and met the new-comer, linking her
aim in his, and drawing mm gently towards
the house.
He was a lad of seventeen, an orphan, the
nephew and ward of Colonel Nichols. Bright
and crav and handsome, Allen Bell was also
impetuous, ardent, and intelligent one of
those noble, manly boys who mature early
into grand and noble men. lioy as ae was,
he loved Amy Lester with a pure and chival
rous love, which bade fair to deepen in time
into the creat love ol ms me.
He was the bearer of a letter from his uncle
to Mrs. Lester, and having delivered it, he
strolled with Amy down the wide garden
walks into the cool shadows of a grove at the
bottom of the garden.
"I've been expecting you this good while,
Ally," said Amy, with charming frankness.
"I thought you would be down here to try
those scientific experiments to-day !"
"We'll try them to-night, Amy," replied
Ally. "The blue lights show better at night.
I'm getting along finely in my chemistry,
Amy. I like it best of all my studies."
"Iam Bure you do," said Amy, earnestly.
"You are the nicest boy I ever saw I"
Ally Bell laughed aloud. Amy's childlike
simplicity and outspoken truthfulness were
her greatest charm in his eyes.
"The sight of the brig yonder," said Ally,
'reminds me that I promised to meet Colonel
Nichols on board of it directly after I delivered
that letter to your mother. I must go
now, but you may expect me as soon as it's
dark."
He clasped her in his arms and kissed her. '
For a minute the youthful lovers stood at
the garden gate, towards which they had
plowly walked, and here they parted soberly
Ally to go down to the brig, where had en
gaged to inqpt bis uncle, and Amy to return
to ber mother.
She found Mrs. Lester, the open letter in
ber band, silent and motionless as a statue,
Ler attitude tbat of profound despair.
"What is it, mother?" cried Amy, in wild
alarm, springing to her side.
Mrs. Lestor looked at her daughter with a
oe-strickon face.
"O, Amy 1" she cried, turning to that brave,
childish heart for strength and comfort.
"Colonel Nichols writes mo that we are
beccars I He reminds me that he has asked
me three soveral times to marry him. And,
Amy, he says he knows yourfathor to be dead,
aiid he offers himself to me for the last time.
lie reminds me of my ill-health, of your
vouth and helplessness. And he says, and
Mrs. Lester's voice broke down in a tempest
of sobs, "that on the one band he offers mo
wtalth, comfort, and happiness, on the other
poverty and sorrow, it 1 reiuse mm, ne

Oh, mother! exclaimed Amy, with a sharp

A PESPEItATE STRUGGLE FOn LIBERTY.
1" of ore Ally Bell reached the brig lying at
the wharf, his uncle, Colonel Nichols, had
been there and arranged with tho Captain,
who went by the name of Hiley, to carry Ally
oil' to China, for which service tho Colonel
promised to civo tho Captain the brig and ten
thousand dollars, in atxe the boy never came
((, . Hiley was a murderer, whose real name
was Sprouls, and Colonel Nichols knew it.
And Colonel Nichols had robbed Mrs. Lester,
and now wanted to rob his nephew and have
him murdered, and Hiley knew that, and re
solved that Ally Bell should never seo Nor
folk ntraiu.
'Where is the lad?" ho asked as he and
Colonel Nichols finished drinking success to
their nefarious schemes, to which tho Colonel
replied:
le should ho hero at this very moment,
Ah, I hear his step on deck now ! Hero ho
comes !''
Even as ho spoke Ally Bell raino hurrying
into the cabin, his face Hushed with pleasura
ble excitement.
"I'm just in time to seo you off, Captain
Hiley," he said, not noticing the guilty looks
of tho conspirators. "The wind is fair, and
the crew anxious. A good voyage to you
Captain. Bring me some rare shells when you
return. Iheyarotor a little girls cabinet,
and must le pretty:
"Aye, aye, Mr. Allen," responded tho Cat)
tain, heartily. "Didn't you seo my collection
of shells in yonder state-room? No? You
are w oleoma to your choice of them all, sir
lie advanced and flung open the state-room
door.
Ally bent forward and looked in.
With a quick thrust, Hiley pushed him into
the little room, and hurriedly locked tho door
With an exultant smile Colonel Nichols said
adieu, and went ashore.
The next minute the hurried trampling of
feet was blended with tho songs of the stout
seamen, as the brig moved slowly from the
wharf towards the sea.
Ally's first thought, on finding himself shut
up in Captain Hiley's state-room, was that the
two men were joking merely intending to
scare him a bttle, and then let him out; but
he soon discovered that tlio Quickstep tho
brig was so named had left her wharf and
was standing down the Elizabeth river to
wards the ocean.
The truth flashed upon him !
"I see it all !" he cried, leaping to his feet.
"Hiley is taking me to sea with him ! Cap
tain Hiley!" he shouted, pounding on. the
wall, "open the door, this minuto ! Let me
out, or it will be bad for yon :
No reply was made to him no attention
paid to his c ries.
lie saw that he was tast.
For a moment ho was stunned by the knowl
edge of his situation.
Then he drew up his slight, boyish figure
proudly, his eyes flashing defiance.
"The thing lor me to do, he mused, "is to
help myself. A boy who can't fight his own
way will never be a man:
Drawing from his pocket a match, of which
he usually carried a supply, he lighted the
candle in its box at one end of the state
room.
"I see," he mentally commented, looking
around in the light thus furnished; "here's a
whole dray-load of boxes and bundles. And
here's a cannon, too," added Ally "a small
one, which is expected, no doubt, to bring a
big price from those simple natives in the
South Sea.
"I can use this thing, thought the boy,
with kindling eyes. "I have plenty of powder
in mv nneket !'
He had bought this powder just before he
came aboard of the brig, for the experiments
he bad promised to show Amy that very
evening.
Without more ado, Ally set at work loading
and firing the little cannon as rapidly as pos-
... i a n? a j
bible, smashing tue aoor, ana calling out, ior
everybody to keep out of the way. The cap
tain and crew were frantic with fear, as there
was a large quantity of powder in the state
room, and the prospect was that the ship
would be blown to atoms.' Having filled the
btate-room and cabin with smoke, Ally seized
one of the Captain's revolvers, burst open the
shattered door, rushed upon deck, and leaped
into tho river.
"Thunder and lightning! cried Hiley,
startled beyond expression." "After that
boy, all of you ! Satan himself is in him I
A hundred dollars to the man who first puts a
hand upon him !
With a veil, as of bloodhounds, half-a-
dozen of Hiley's men splashed into tho river,
incited by the promise of money, and sprang
to the pursuit, while Hiley, hastily lowering a
boat, rowed alter his men, whom he soon
overtook, one after another, and ordered into
the boat. They then pulled on after Ally,
w ho had distanced the men while they were
in tho water, but who could not compete
with the boat. Arriving at an old sunken
schooner, a long way from the shore, the boy
climbed upon tho topmast, and looked back
ut Hiley, who was rapidly approaching. Tho
captain felt sure of his prey, and was tolling
his men how to seize the boy, when Ally sud
denly fell from the topmast, as if shot, and
immediately sank Irom sight. . j
"Thunder and lightning!" cried Hiley,
"he's gone!" ' T
"Gone !" echoed all the men in chorus.
"Yes. oone 1" and Hiley sprang to his feet,
betidintr forward. "I saw him go! He fell
bnek into the water, and went down like a
bullet, without the loost cry ! ' full for your
lives'."- ' ' ' , ' 1
The men obeyed. The boat was quickly
beside the topmast. But no trace of the boy
could be found 1 .
"IU take my Bible oath," said Hiley, "that
the young salamander has nwt gone towards
the nearest shore or any other. A crauippr
a shark has took biui!"' ' ' I
The eyes of the scheming Villain lit hp
strangely, almost savagely. , i
"And such being the fact, men, added he,
"we may as well give up the search."
The men rosumed their oars, the Captain,
the tiller, and the boat returned in silence, to
the brig, with Ally dinging quietly to thenttm
bis bead just far enough out of the wate to
enable him to breathe and there he con
tinned to stay until the boat returned to the
lig.
And then, the boat being loft in the water.
at the stern of the brig, it occurred to Ally to
unfasten the boat from its painter, let it drift
down stream some distance, then climb into
it, and row away for Norfolk, which he at
once did.
For a minute or two the boat continued to
speed away in the darkness.
And then Ally climbed out of the water Into
it, with a long sich of relief, and seized a pair
of oars resolutely.
Crouching out of sight in the bottom of the
boat, he began rowing shorewards but softly,
lor he was huu near the brig, and tho night
was so calm he feared his enemies would hoar
iiim.
There was only too much occasion, as it
proved, for this caution.
Ihe boat had not been cono two minutes
from the brig, when Captain Hiley, wishing
to go ashoro to seo Colonel Nichols, made his
way aft, and discovering its disappearance, at
once sent a couple of men after it in another
boat.
Ally seeing that he must again tako to tho
water, took the oars along with him, and went
drifting seaward, with nothing but a pair of
oars to support him.
The night had now fully set in and the tide
ran fast. Crannied and drilled by his long
continuance in the water, the boy was whirled
along, growing weaker every moment; but
just as hope was at its ebb, lie suddenly be
held a sail behind him, rapidly approaching,
under the forco of a freshening breeze.
"A brig, certain !'' ho groaned, after a long
look at the Hearing cloud of canvas. "It must
bo old Hiley's! The wind having come again,
he is oil for the 1 acme ocean :
He regarded the brig, as it came nearer,
asking himself if ho should hail her.
"Let her bo what sho may,' ho muttered,
"friend or foe, I must hail her ! My strength
is used up! I shall soon slip off from these
oars and drown ! Fortunately tho brig is
coming straight towards me. I will hail her!"
He waited till the brig was near him, and
then carried his resolve into execution. His
feeble call was heard and answered, the brig
hove to, a boat was lowered, and ho was
taken aboard tho stranger. Tho boy had only
strength enough to learn that tho brig was
not liiley's, and then he fainted.
ClIAFfEll III.
MORE VILLAINY.
Captain Hiley, verily believing that Ally
wns drowned, went ashoro to inform Colonel
Nichols of the fact. Ho found the Colonel
just coming from Mrs. Lester's cottage, where
he had gone an hour before, and stuuno l
Amy by informing her that Ally Boll, her
lover and hero, was being carried off to sea
in the (Juickxtip, and that sho would never
see him again.
The Colonel heard Hiley's story about
Ally's disappearance with breathless interest,
as they walked along tho beach: after which
the two villains congratulated themselves
upon the boy's being thus completely talion
out of their path.
While thus discussing the matter they heard
the sound of oars, and soon saw a boat ap
proaching the shore opposite a cottage be
longing to an old retired sailor named Nicholas
Collins, which was situated at the foot of Mrs.
Lester's garden. In the boat was a man, and
along with him was a female, sobbing con
vulsively. Colonel JNichois, witn surprise
and alarm, recognized the voice of the weeper
as that of Amy Lester. She and her com
panion left the boat and entered the cottage,
from the windows of which a light soon
shone. Colonel Nichols and Captain Hiley
crept beneath a window to spy and listen.
'I hey soon learned that Uouins had rowed
Amy off to the brig in search of Ally, and
that she had there heard of his attempt to
escape and his consequent death by drowning.
Amy was venemeni, in iier ueuuuumuuun ui
Colonel Nichols, and declared that if Ally was
really dead, sho would raise the whole country
against his uncle, who had compassed his
death.
On attempting to rise to go home, Amy
found she was too weak to walk, and sent
Collins tor her mother to como to her. As
soon as the old sailor left tho cottage, Colonel
Nichols proposed to Hiley that ho should
carry Amy on instead ol Ally, ana leave her
on a plantation of his on the coast, down by
Cape Henry, so as to silence her dangerous
tongue, and also give him a hold on her
mother. The Captain agreed to this, and they
entered the cottage, coming upon Amy so
suddenly that, in her weak state, she was so
completely overcome that she fainted away.
"So much the better!" said Nichols, stoop-
ing and gathering her in his arms. "Now
lead the way to your boat, Hiley. On our
way you must overset Collins' boat to make
him think she did it herself in a wild mood. "
He hurried out of the cottage, bearing his
frail burden. Hiley followed hastily, awd the
two made their way to the spot where Col
lins' boat lay. It was but the work of a mo
ment for Hiley to push off the little craft and
overset it.
"There, they'll think the girl got wild with
f'net flnd watl drowned in an attempt to search
I "r 'v sum me oionei exultantly,
lunnmg mujr n Willie iqirou upon me UORCli
"That apron will fix the matter beyond a
doubt! Tho wind is rising, Hiley. You had
better take advantage of it!"
The two hurried to tho waiting boat. Hiley
laid tho uuconncious Amy in the bottoiri, and
then seized the oars and rowed rapidly to
wards the brig.
Nichols, full of exultation, looked after tho
boat until it was lost to view.
"My first plan was successful!" he mut
tered. "Ally is dead! I am a rich man!
And my second plan promises a like success !
"When Margaret Lester's heart is nearly
broken at Amy's loss, I will otter to restore
her child on condition that she will marry
me ! The day of my full triumph is near !"
Ho looked with gloating eyes seaward, ex
ulting in his evil success, until at last, nearly
an hour later, the sails of the Quickstep
filled, and the brig moved swiftly towards
the sea, taking with her; Margaret Lester's
only comfort the distant father's star of
hope!
' CIIATTElt IV.
IESTF.B ESCAPES AND HEAKS FROM HOME.
We loft David Lester on his lonely island.
planning his escape, with a ship in sight from
the elevated point where he was at work. I e
waited till night and until a priest of the
idolatrous temple came to chain him in his
dungeon, where they nightly confined him;
and then suddenly leaping upon the priest,
he bore him to the floor, chained and gagged
him, disguised himself in his priestly robes,
stained his face brown with dirt, went to the
sbore where the canoes were lying, entered
one of them, and paddled out to sea in the
direetion in which he had seen the ship., .
He paddled for hours with all his strength,
and-chttd. gonei m far t, tbat the lights of the
jwhind c,ould nyt b seen, and yet no ship had
been found; aruct bow tno wind was rimn and
"Oh, God ! Am I forsaken?" he cried, in
an awful anguish, seized with a fear that the
wind would take the ship from him. ' "Must
I perish here?"
At that moment, when hope was dying, he
beheld a sight that turned all his w ild woo
into yet wilder ecstasy.
There, to the . northward, was tho ship,
standing directly towards him, with all siuls
set to catch the rising breeze, and not half a
mile away. - ""
"Yes, there she is," bo shouted. "She is
coming this way. I am saved saved !"'
He raised his arms to heaven in' mute
thanksgiving and sol ibed aloud, the glad tears
streaming dow n his worn and haggard cheeks.
The ship came nearer and nearer.
He redoubled his wild shouts, his heart and
soul in his voice.
An answering cry came suddenly from tho
ship's deck, and she drew steadily nearer,
swerved from her course slightly, and a rope
was thrown from her deck, falling into his
ennoe.
He seized the rope in desperate eagerness,
and a group of sailors leaning over tho ship's
sido drew him aboard-
In an instant move the ship had resumed
her course, and was moving in stately fashion
before the breeze.
"Safe at last !'' murmured Lester, loaning
against the bulwarks, weak and nerveless as
an infant. "Oh, the gladness of this hour!"
l'oor man! Ho did not dream at that mo
ment that his adverse fate was even then re
lentlessly closing around him: that he was on
one of Jiis own ships tho Cyclone; that that
ship was commanded by a bitter foe in league
with Colonel Nichols, who, on recognizing
him, would without remorse consign him
again to the mercies of the Pacific in his In
dian canoe.
On inquiry, Lester learned that tli! vessel
was the Cyclone, and in the light of tho cabin
lump recognized her captain. Tearing off his
priestly robe, anu wiping the stain irom ms
face with its coarse folds, he exclaimed:
"Captain Sales, don t you know wc'
"David Lester!" cried tho Captain, turning
ashy pale, and grasping his stationary seat as
though he had received a shock.
Lester wiped his brows and sat down, tho
Captain taking a seat opposite hiin.
He had so much to ask, that his emotions
choked his utterance, and prevented him from
observing the look of deadly hatred with
which the Captain regarded him. But ho
finally plied his questions fast, and learned
that his w ife yet lived, that his daughter Amy
had grown into a lovely girl, and that both
wile and daughter had long mourned mm as
dead. He also learned ol hiswites poterty.
"Colonel Nichols settled up the firm all airs,
said the Captain reservedly, "and tuere was
nothing left for Mrs. Lester. She has been
living on his bounty theso two or three
years ! When your interest in this ship was
sold, I bought it. Iho Colonel owna tuo
other half !'
"But this is a base fraud!" exclaimed Les
ter. "The Colonel has been untrue to tho
tr.t x reposed in him ! I have had suspi
cions of his integrity during my long oxilo,
but I have never dared to entertain ' hciu.
I'll make matters straight on my return. I
can prove my claims and bring him to justice
the dastardly villain ! My poor Margaret ! "
and ho groaned.
Lester's threat concerning Nichols seemed
to stir up all the malice of the Captain's
nature. Ho beheld his interest in tho ship,
fraudulently acquired, threatened, and ho
hated still more the lawful owner whose right
in tho Cyclone he had usurped.
"If report speaks truly," he said, "Mrs.
Lester need not bo called 'poor!' Colonel
Nichols has long been paying her attentions,
and when I left port, five mouths ago, tho
story was that they were engaged ! The
Colonel told me himself that he loved her, and
meant to marry her. No doubt by this time
they are married !"
This cruel thrust struck home to tho poor
husband's heart, and uttering a great cry, ho
fell forward with his face upon tho table,
while the Captain regarded him with a look of
mingled hatred and exultation. The New
York Ledger, containing tho continuation of
