I looked from tho deck o'er tho bounillcu sen,
As It bubblod and tumble. I In Booming glee,
Ami tparklcd'nud rippled under tho lco
Of tho ship that was bcailng my friends and
mo ;
Whllo tho sun-rays peep
With a gladsomo shoeu
Thro' the waters; green
Adownthodecp,
And I said, "What thins cm I loam ot time,
With Ihy wavelets leaping unfettered and froo
As 'twcrosomotlilug Joyous simply 'to bo 7 '"
Andlt told rao n lalo of Liberty.
I saw tho wavoi In tho r mighty play-
Now idrong as the giants now gono fur nyo ;
Llko tho things of tho earth which cuduro for n
lay I
Each conies llko Ills fellows to pass away ;
A moment bright
With sllvtry crtst,
Then sluks lo rest
In endless night.
And I said, "O, yo waves of a turbulent Be.1,
Which nro sprung from n common maternity,
I prny you, what lessson havo yo for mo 7"
And they told me a talo of Charily.
I loan o'er the rati at tho midnight hour,
When the waves uro wild nnd tho storm-clouih
lower,
And my face Is wet wllh tho spr.iy an 1 tho
shower,
And weird, wan fn:es seotn to glower
Out of the foam
Which marks tho track
Norn furlong back
In the ocean's glo im.
And I said, "Black waves of the midnight sea,
That nro laililug the clouds that aro blacker than
ye, -
What thing will yo teach to a thing llko 1113 ?,' Q
Through tho nljht-rack comes back Sublim
ity. I look ngatn, and tho ocean lies
Calm, bouudless, blue, whltotho bluer sklo I
Bo blended In ono continuity rise,
That tho cyo no horizon descries,
And tlio only speck
Whlchhasaplaco
In tho bournlcss spaco
Is tho vcscl's deck.
Then, from tho deep calm of tho plllowlesisca,
So cudlossly peaceful, In vast unity
With tho bright ompyroan which o'ermantlcs

"Nice pltica to dine; isn't It?" said
Frank Llghtfoot.aa wo seated ourselves
round our wcll-illlcd provision-bag on
tlio summit of Mout Blanc, with tho
panorama of forty-eight mountain
ranges outspread beneath us, and the
echo of tho Chamouni cannon still In
our ears. "I wonder whother tho march
of civilization will over erect a hotel up
hero; thero's just room for a moderate
sized one.
"And a photographic studio at tho
head of tho corridor, nnd a telegraph
station at tho Grands Mulcts, and a post-
ofllco beside tho Chalet do la Pierro
Polntuc, and anything elso in a small
way, eh, Master Frank?" chimed in
Harry Sinbad, who had gono through
nearly aa many voyagesandadvonturcs
as his illustrious natnesako and had
Just accompanied us up Mont Blanc as
a slight reposo before crossing into Algo
rla via Marseilles.'
"Nobody knows what may happen,"
replied Fratik sentontiously : "you
wouldn't- havo expected, this time last
year, to bo dining threo miles above tho
sea to day!"
"Well, I had a funny kind of dinner
last Autumn," said Lightfoot, "when
my guido and I got caught by a mist
on tho Grand Combin. Wo piled stones
to keep off tho wind ; and behind them
we shared our rum and cold mutton, as
if wo had been In tho trenches boforo
Sevastopol."
"Well, I can beat you both there,"
said Harry with a chuckle; "for l'vo
had a dinner worth any threo of those,
though I'd hardly caro to try it again
but it's a long story."
"Never mind," Bald I : "wo havo lot's
of time."
"I'm your man, sir," responded Sin
bad; "out, before I begin, does either
of you know whero Fernaudodo No
ronha is?"
"Never heard of him," said Frank,
who is not exactly qualified for a goo
graphical professorship: "Is ho any re
lation of Fernando ooti, o-er
America?"
"None of your nonscnuo. Frank," I
lntprnosed sternlv. "Fernando do
Noronha Is a small bland oil' tho cor.s
of Brazil, though In what latitude or
longitude 1 would rather not guess, if
were up fir a clvll-servlco usamltia
tton."
"True, O king !" .said Harry : "moro
power to your atlas for that tivno. Well
as I was going to tell you, It was tow
ards tho end of my third month In Rio
do Janeiro that T began to think of
shlftlntr my quarter.-). Had I intended
maklnir sclentitle explorations la
Humboldt, or going In scirch of bi
trees, llko that fellow who wont up tho
Rio Madeira tho other day, threo
months would havo been rather short
measure ; hut ns it was, I had kcoii all 1
cared to fcp. I had walked round tho
harhor (110 trifle of a walk elthor, mark
yo!) ami counted the flags of GGnattons;
I had eaten oranges at four In tho morn
ing In tho groves outsldo tho town, and
dived by moonlight through tho ' rol-
Icrs,' 011 tho shoro ; I had bought somo
cry good local viows on thoja;a, una
taken somo very bail sketches from tho
bay ; I had been bitten by a tarantula
(It that was any good) ; and I had lived
at Pctropolls in ti charming llttlo villa,
with 11 painted veranda and projecting
roof, hidden, llko a humming-bird's
nest, In n basket of broad leaveil, tropi.
eal folhigo a perfect gentof quiet beau
ty altogether.
"Pctropolls Is n plaeo about four miles
from tho town,' whero tho grandees and
most of tho merchants llvo during tho
heat of Summer much tho namo
thing, In fact, with regard to Rio, that
Tsar8koo Celo Is to St. Pelersburg, or
Tientsin to Peking. Weil, as I was
saying, I began to plan my next move
and mado up my mind to do boiiio voy.
ago or other In a now direction, whoroi
might tco something ti llttlo out of tho
ordinary tun; for Just then, us it Imp
pencil, I was rather tired of perpetual
coat, hat, mid umbrella; of smoking
paper-elcius.ehatterlng bad Portuguese
and dining on moiikey-uoiipiiiid rd.ist
rraadlllb; nnd had got my head fill)
of fairy Isles, light pcrlnguas (whatover
thoy may bo), and "noblo savages."
"Ona day, after much wnlthisr, I
heard of a bark that wai going to pail
for Fuyiil, with u Portugueso eklppor,
and a crow half Brazilians and half In
dians; for somo of tho nallvcs don't
mako such bad sallow, only they're not
trong enough to stand much knocking
about. This was just what I wanted,
chanco of visiting a placo whero I'd
ilovcr been, and a longlsh voyago In
company with n bovy of picturesque
agamufllns, who, If they weren't par
ticularly ' noblo,' wcroat loast 'savi'go'
nough for Salvalor Rosa himself. So
paid my pasago-money, nnd away I
went.
"My chlof assoclalo was thosklppcr,
queer fish enough to look nt ; for ho
had a complexion Hko a half-decayed
lock, and a pqulnt that mado him look
ns if ho werotrying to sco down his own
throat ; and ho carried a scent of garlic
and tobacco about him that would havo
choked a Hottentot; but ho know all
sorts of stories, anil could sing a good
song or two, and seemed a merry fellow
altogether; so that on tho wholo ho
asn't bad company, provided I kept
well to windward of him. Ah for tho
crow, they worked very wen ; tuey
couldn't help it, llko Brazilians in gen
eral; but thoro was ono thing thoy didn't
do well; and that was tho storing. Thoy
had stored tho provisions In such a
bungling fashion that half of thorn got
spoiled ; and thoy hadn't moro than
half filled tho water casks and thoso
they had wcro leaky ; so that, not long
after sailing, wo ran out of water, and
had to think about getting more.
'An hour or two after this discovery,
tho sklpp'er camo aft, to where I was
standing, and said, 'Now, sonhor, wo
will show you something rs well worth
seeing ns Lisbon ; tho nearest land is
Fernando do Noronha ; nnd we'ro go
ing to put in there for water and fc sh
provisions.'
" 'And what is thcro lo bo scon t here."
asked I.
" 'Why, it's a pretty placo to look at,
In any case," ho replied ; 'but tho great
tb'ng is, tin t it's tho plaeo whero tho
Rr.iy.lIIanssend all their (7c,'ae?rt(Zo4'(coii
victs); 'and thoy'vo got quito a flno col
lection now; when you go ashoro you'll
bo ablo to get a good sight of them."
' 'But they don't go about looie.sui'O-
ly ?' ajked I in soraoastonishinont.
"'Tho sainti forbid! they've , it a
governor and a guard lo takocaro of
them. Ah! bo's a ral'o man, tho Son
hor Gobernador! many'.s tho ca'c of
rum ho's sent mo when wo'vo touched
hsro before.'
"'You scorn to know him prttly well,'
Slid I, laughing.
'"Sanloi! that'd not difficult! he's
as friendly cm a ccntrctbandista.' (A
flno definilion of friendship, thought '
I.) 'If tho noblo Ssnhor lugloto will
bo pleased to go rt-ho.'o with in, the
Senltor Gobernador wi'l bo sure to in
vito him lo h' houo,and show him all
tho curiosities of the is'and :' and with
that ho gave such an e.itraordinaty gi'in
that all his features seemed to change
plac.'si, llko a gutta-percha .aco in a toy
shop. I couldn't think, at tho tlmo,
what ho wa3 grltuilni at ; but I found
out later on , as you'll see.
"Wo sighted tho island next morn
ing, anil by noon wo wcro p -etty near
tho shoro ; and it struck mo that tho
ilegradados had a be lor berth than
they dcsors'cd ; for a sweeter littlo spot
I uovcr saw. Tho coast1 1 right and left
was rugged and broken ; but just ahead
of us it curved into a beautiful llttlo
bay, wllh a smooth, sandy be: ch above
which roso 11 broad sweep ot wooded
hilMdo, liko a b.nid of green velvet,
dotted here and there w'lh such flower j
s you only sea In tho Ironies. In tho
hollow of (ho b:.y was a small woortea
jetty, on which stood a man in uniform,
whllo behind him clustered a dozen
blacks, In red caps and white cotton
drawers.
" 'That'-i bis Excellency's secretary,'
said the skipper; ho must havo seen
us heading for thoshoro; aud it's lucky
thoio blacks happen o bo with him ;
for they'll belt) us to ,- 't the water 011
board.'
"I must own Unit t is 'lucky' coin
e'dencoof tho ni'groe'- presence mado
mo begin to suspect that tho worthy
Eklppor was himself ono of tho
'friendly contraUmtUstaaUtt whom ho
had spoken, and that his dealings
with tho Scnhor Gobernador weroof a
nature to mid little to tho imperial rov
onuo ; but before I could mako up my
mind as to whether tho alleged want of
wator weroall a sham or not, tho skip
per shouted something through his
speaking-trumpet to thoolHceroii shoro
who thereupon gavo somo orders to two
of his b!acks,whlch Marled them off llko
eyhound.s.
.1 They're- gono to tell tlio Scnhor Go-
rnador that wo'vo got a Scnhor In-
leso 011 board,' said tho skipper ; 'aud
ds Excellency will mist likely cometo
meet you in person.'
"And, sure enough, In about half an
-.our Micro tamo round tlio elbow 011110
ill ha'fadozsn soldiers armed with
nuakcts, followed by threo men in
nlform.the mld-mo-t of whom was on
hursoback. Tho moment I touched
iho shore, tho governor (for ho It was)
dismounted, and grooved mo with r. bow
that would havo mado Iho fortuno of a
courtier.
"'May you llvo a thousand years,
most potent Scnhor Gobernador,'sald 1,
in my best Portuguese.
" 'I kiss tho dust beneath your feet,
noblo and valiant senhor.' replied he,
with a second no; which an nut mauo
good his words. 'If his English Excel
lency would so far honor my poor house
as lo coiuo within Its walls, it-
would bo my hlghoit lileasuro to enter
tain him. Will tho noblo Scnhor
Ingle.so lu pleased to mount, and fjllow
" 'Noblo scnhor', said tho govornor,
'you will pardon my leaving you for a
fow momculs, whllo I sec whether all is
ready for tho ontortainmont of yoursolf
nnd tho ofllcors of tho colony, who do
mo tho honor of dining with mo to-day;
In tho meanlltno, let mo bog of you lo
consider my honso and all that is In it
ns cntlroly your own.'
"'Well,' thought I 'this comes of
traveling; I might havo waited long
enough boforo any 0110 would havo dono
as much for mo in England.'
"And I had reason to think so a few
mlnutcj lalor, whon I found myself
seated at tho governor's right hand,
over ns good a dliineros ovor 1 ate.wlth
fifteen gontlomcn in uniform on each
sldo of tho table. Thoy wcro all strong
nnd rather flno-looklng men, with a
brisk, buslness-llko air about them
which I had not remarked in tho ofll
cors I mot at Rio, who were, for tho
most part, us confirmed 'Joafera' ns
over lounged nbout n boulevard ; but
every faco at tho tablo woro ft curious
expression which struck ment once, a
watchful kind of look, llko that of a sen
tinel on guard, tho result, as I conclud
ed at tho lime, of their constant sur
veillance of dangerous convicts. Tho
governor himself, now that I got agood
view of hlm.was a handsome, dignified
looking old fellow, with a he.ivy mus
tacho and board that gavo him almo.st
tho alrof a cuirassier; but thoro was
something I didn't llko about his eyes,
a shifting, restless look.such as I havo
neon onco or twico in tho oyo.s of a
vicious horso. Still, nothing could pos
sibly bo moro courteous than his man'
nor to mo, as ho helped mo to tho best
of tho good cheer, aud congratulated
mo on having arrived at a time when
tho larder was well stocked ; whereas
they had been wofjlly slr.ii'rhtenod
tibout a month before, tho rou;'h weath
er preventing tho arrival of supplies,
nnd tho is'aud it elf affoid'T-r nothing
but fish and fruir.
"As to tho dinner I'm not going to
descrlbo it. Tho old govorno- took tho
lead- keeplnup thoconvoisa Ion when
"At last wo camo out In front of tho
llttlo Jolty, whero, lo my great delight,
I found tliosklppcrjust going on board.
Tho governor, wishlnp mo every pros
perity, tool: a ceremonious leave of me;
whllo I, standing up In tho atom of tho
boat, rnponded ns usual, 'May your
Excellency llvo a thounnd years! And
may it bo aslong before T sco you ogalnl'
added I, mentally, ni wo shot away
from tho shore.
"Well, sonhor," cakb.l tho sklppar,
with 0110 of I1I3 peculiar grini, as, a fow
liouw later, wo watchrl tho receding
coast of tlio Island, "how did his Excel
lency's hospitality ploa 10 you V"
'"Tho dinner was worthy of Dou So
bastlati,' answered I; 'but I can't say
as much for tho company. It soems to
mo, my friend, tlutyou'roamongrath
or a suspicious set.'"
"'What would you have, scnhor?'
ropllcd ho with a shrug : 'wo poor fel

it was rendered additionally oonvlnelng
