I Vent to bed and slept When ( I awoke it was broad day. I was staged in find myself: in a strange room, haying dreamedl myself home in New Encland, aa far Irom Franee and Frenchmen as'ifl crossed tli© Atlantxb. The sight o| the large hpndsome - chamber, thepof ished floor, the elegant h«d-enrt»ins, We extinguished bougieltn the tablewhere I had left it, quickly recalled my situation; and I remembered with a thrill of appre hension that I had come to Havre to get on board the Etna that was to saif at day light. -■=?■■■ Quieting my fears by recalling the story the hotel agent had told me, and the pro mise that 1 should be awakened six, I looked at my watch—- and found teas al ready past seven ! ; i That looked like treachery. I was in my clothes in a minute. I ran down stairs and called for the landlord. “ What will you have, Monsieur ?” said a pretty-faced maid, with a coquettish smile. r . '•> “ The landlord !” I demanded; 1 “ The landlord is not here, Monsieur.” “ The agent who brought me here last night,—where is he V* “ He has gone off to the railroad-, Mon sieur. He will not return before ten o’clock.” “ But he was to put me on board the Etna !” I said. “ The Etna ? I know nothing about it, Monsieur.” “ And the six gentlemen who are to sail in the Etna—where are they ?” “Monsieur,” replied the maid, with perfect politeness, “ I have not heard of the six gentlemen.” “ They are not here ?” . < “ Not here !”—and she shrugged her pretty shoulders. Here was a predicament I No time was to be lost in parley. I read on my ticket, purchased in Paris, the address of the Havre agency; I rushed out, got a police man to direct me, and in a few minutes was standing in the door of the Cunard Company’s office. To get beyond the door was not easy, the office being crowded with second class passengers, waiting their turns to get their passports. I thought if all these people were going in the Etpa, my passage was safe enough. But due showed me his ticket —it was for another vessel; and when I asked him if he knew of the Etna, he answered in broad Yorkshire accent — “ She sailed this morning.” That was startling. And when I look ed oyer- the dense crowd before me, and made a calculation .as to the time when my turn would come at the clerk’sdesk, I con cluded that it would not be much before noon. So I broke through the regula tions of the place, raised my hand and my voice, and brandishing my ticket, de manded information regarding tbb Etna. The appeal attracted instant attention, and a clerk promptly came ardana to rue. He looked at my ticket with surprise, exclaiming in honest English, “ Wjby sir! you should have been on boafd last night!” I rapidly told my story ; to which I goi the rather unsatisfactory reply,- “Itis a pity; for it is impossible to get on board now. She quitted the warf at daybreak. She is out of reach before this.” “Is that positive I inquired. ■ “ She should be—-hut you have one chance in ten —to jump on board as she is passing one of the locks, if it is not too late. I’ll send a man with you!” ; I blessed the honest Enghshmaii in my heart, told the guide to meet me -at the Hotel de Belle Vue, and ran hack to se cure my baggage. . ' N By this time the landlord made bis ap pearance; and I saw plainly by daylight what I had only a vague suspicion: of the night before,—that he wore perhaps the most villainous countenance that’eyer be longed to a keeper of a hotel. , It was a bad face, full of avarice, craft, malice abd jeering diabolical roguery “ Scouhdrel!” I said, “ you ved me 1 Bring my baggage, and bo-quick I I am an American, and I’ll have leisure to see you well punished, if I l|se the steamer!” ' T This threat I hurled at him as he went to set out my baggage. . I meant* every word of it, for surely I never saw |a thief whom I would more rejoicingly hive as sisted to bring to justice. The Franck arc strict against all suchkqWeiyy especially where there is an American in. the casethe fellow was a coward withal; and he doubtless , perceived that ft would be for his interest to get rid of ’ipP as speedily as possible. My baggaga wassat the door at the moment’; when wqr 1 guide arrived with a hand-cart. - /;h'. :; ■ “We must burry I’- he said; and; I took leave, in greater haste than I would have desired, of the only rnmqphy whom I had been cleanly takin ip.

Hurrah'/’ “ What do you want ?” cried a voice from the quarter-deck. “I am a passenger ; I want to oomd aboard,” 1 answered. ; But it looked like a difficult and rather ugly business to climb that vast ship’s side, rising steep and tremendous high above my head, as the boat floated under' the stern. • “ Quick, then; we are waiting for you !” And a ladder of cords was dropped down to me. I ascended like a squirrel—if so undignified a comparison is permissible.— My baggage was drawn up after m 3 by sailors, withrfopea. I bad triumphed' 1 ! “ Nane ?” said the steward.
