" Teu ar your dd $tlf,
Well, I need net detain you by reciting all
the civilities and congratulations which he
and I exchanged. Be and Wilkinson bad
arrived at Deal at 8 o'clock that afternoon,
and after a hurried meal had hired a lugger
and started at once ter Beachy Head. It was
new 3 o'clock in the morning; and what I
may consider a truly extraordinary circutn
stance !, that they bad sailed as true a
ceurse for the schooner as if she had lain
plain te the gaze at the very start; that since
the night hed drawn down they had met no
vessel of any kind or description until they
came up te us; that in all probability they
would have run stem en into us if they had
net scen our lights, and that their seeing our
lights had caused them te hall us, their "Ship
ahoy I" being instantly answered by Crom
well. "Well," said I, "there are stranger things
te tell of than this, e en. New, Wilkinson,
and you, Billy and Cromwell, get us a geed
supper nnd mix a proper bewL Uewmany
mere of you ere In the luggerl"
'Tour, sir," said one of the boatmen.
"Then fetch as many as may safely leave
the beat," said I. "Billy, get candles and
make a geed light here. Threw en coal,
seys; there's enough te carry us horns."
I saw Masen gazing curiously about him,
"Tisllkentaloeut of the 'Arabian Nights,'
Taul," he exclaimed.
"Ay," said I, "but written in bitter prose,
and no hint of enchantment anywhere. But,
thank Ged, you are cornel I hare passed a
dismal tlme of expectation, I premise you."
I added, softly, "1 have something secret; we
will sup first; man, I shall amaze yea I We
mu?t talk apart presently."
IIe bowed his head.
Three mero boatmen arrived, giving us the
company of live of them. Boen there was a
hearty.seund of frying and a smell of geed
things upon the air. Pitt put plates and
glasses upon the cabin table, two great bowls
of punch were brewed, and in a little time
we had all fallen te. I whispered Wilkinson,
who sat next me: "These boatmen knew
nothing et our business; I shall have te take
Mr. Masen apart and arrange with him.
These fellows may net be lit for our service.
Let no hint escape you."
"Right, sir," said he.
This I said te disarm his suspicions should
he see me talking alene w ith Mr. Masen, lie
entertained us with an account of his excur
sion te Londen, and then, partly te appease
the prggkund curiosity of the boatmen and
Tartly Te save time when I should come te
confer with my relative, I gave them the
story of my shipwreck, and told hew I had
met with the schooner and hew I had man
aged te escape with htr.
"And new, Masen," said I, "while our
friends here empty these bewls, ceme you
with me te the cook room." And with that
we quitted the cabin.
"D'ye mean te tell me, Paul," was the first
question my relative asked, "that this vessel
was en the ice elght-and-ferty yearsP
"Yes," I replied.
"Surely you dreamr
"I think net."
"What we have been eating and drinking,
is that forty-eight years old, tool"
"Ay, and elder."
"Well, such a thing shall make me credu
lous enough te duck old women for witches.
But what brandy what brandy 1 Never had
spirit such a bouquet. Every pint is worth
its weight in guineas te a rich man. Te think
of Deal boatmen and niggers swilling such
nectar I"
"Masen," said I, speaking low, "give me
new your attention. In the run of this
schooner tire ten chests leaded with money,
bars of silver and geld, and jewelry. This
vessel was n pirate, and her people valued
their booty nt 00,000 te 100,000."
Ills jaw fell. lie stared as if he knew net
whether it was be or I that was mad.
"Here is evidence that I speak the truth,"
aid L "A Jittle sample only but leek at
-UP And I put the pirate captain's watch
into his band.
He eyed it as though he discredited the in
telligence of his sight, turned it about and
returned it te me with a faint "Heaven pre
serve me." Then said he, still faintly: "Yeu
found some of the pirates alive!"
"Ne."
"Who told you that the people of tha ves
sel valued their plunder at that amount I'1
I answered by giving him the story of the
recovery of the Frenchman.
He listened with a gaze of consternation.
I saw hew Unas; be believed my sufferings
had affected my reason. There was only one
way te scttle his mind, I took a lantern, and
asked him te fellow me. As we (passed
through the cabin I whispered te Wilkinson
that I meant te show my relative the lading
below, and bade him keep the Deal men about
him. I had the keys of the chests in my
pocket; lifting the after hatch, we entered
the lazaretto, and Masen gazed about him
with astonishment. But I was In tee great
a hurry te return te suffer him te idly stand
and stare. I opened the second hatch and
descended into the run, and crawling te the
jewel chest opened it, removed a few of the
small arms, and bade him leek for himself.
"Incrcdiblel incredlblel" he cried. "Is it
possible I is it possible! Well, te be sural"
Aud for soma moments be could find no mere
te say, se amazed and confounded was he.
I quickly showed him the geld and silver
Ingots, and then returned the fire arms and
locked the chests.
"These," said I, emphatically, pointing te
the cases, "have been my difficulty, net the
lading, though there is value there tee. My
crew knew nothing of these chests of their
value, I mean, they believe them cases of
small arms. Hew am I te get them ashore I
If I tell the truth, they u ill be seized as
piratical plunder. If I equivocate, I may
tumble into a pit of difficulties. I durst net
carry them te the Thames the river swarms
with thieves and custom heuse people. X
am terrified te linger here, lest I be bearded
and the booty discovered. There is but one
plan, I think; we must hire some Deal smug
glers te run the chests and the cargo for
us. The beat new alongside might serve,
and I don't doubt the men are te be had at
their own price."
My relatlve bad regained his wits, which
the sight of the treasure had temporarily
scattered, and surveyed me thoughtfully
while I spoke, and then said, "Let us return
te the fire; I think I have a better scheme
than yours."
The men still sat around the table talking.
Seme- liquor yet lay in one of the bowls, and
the fellows were happy enough. I smiled at
Wilkinson as I passed, that be might suppese
our inspection below very satisfactory, and I
saw him leek meaningly and pleasantly at
Washington Cromwell, who sat with a laced
hat en his head.
"Paul," said Masen, sitting down and fold
ing his arms, "year smuggling plan will net
de. It would be the height of madness te
trust theso chests te the risks of running and
te tha honesty of the rogues engaged in that
business."
"What ts te be dener

"What's te de, then. In Ged's aamer

the complacency of arson who ts master of a
great fancy. "I shall sail te Dever at once.

He nodded.
Hooked at him anxiously, no leaned te
me, putting his hand en my leg.
"I own a lighter," said he. "She will he

"But the cheste-the chests, Masen l"
"They shall be lowered into another beat

I clapped him en the shoulder In a trans
port "Nobly schemed, indeed P I cried. "But
hare we nothing te fear from the customs

"Ne, net low down the river and at dark.

thought mere: Yeu lay that Wilkinson be

"Yes."
"Then account te him for sending the

UJW
"Let me hurry, then, Paul. That brandy
should fetch you half a guinea a pint Yeu
are in luck's way, Paul. See that you bring
your ship along safely. Till te-morrow

He clasped and wrong my hand, and ran
into the cabin.
"New, lads, off with till" he cried. "Off
te Dever I Put me ashore there smartly, and
you shall fin your account Off new tlme
presses I"
Five minutes afterward the beat was gene.
When fortune falls in love with a man she
makes him a bounteous mistress. Every
thing fell out as I could have desired. We
get our anchor at 5, and by daybreak were
off Hastings, jogging quietly along toward
Londen river, the weather conveniently ob
scure, the wind south, and forty hours before
us te de the run in. I exactly explained my
relative's scheme te Wilkinson and the ethers,
who declared themselves perfectly satifled,
Wilkinson adding that though he had net
objected te the Deal smuggling project he
throughout considered the risk tee heavy
te adventure. I told them that Mr. Masen
believed he could immediately find a pur
chaser for the small arms, in which case
they would have te be sent privately ashore;
and te give a proper color te this ruse I
made them pack away all the remaining
weapons in the arms room and carry them
te the run, ready te be taken with the ether
chests.
HOnce fairly round the Forelands, half my
anxieties fell from ma There was no longer
the French cruiser or privateer te be feared;
and however wonderingly the people et my
own country's vessels might stare at the un
common figure of my schooner, they could
find ue excuse te beard us. Besides, as I
have said, I was greatly helped by the
weather, which, continuing hazy, though
happily never se thick as te oblige me te
step, delivered me te the sight only of such
vessels as passed close, and offered me only
as a mere smudge te the shore.
We arrived off Barking Level at 7 o'clock
en the Thursday evening, and dropped an
chor close te a lighter that lay there with a
large beat hanging by her. It was then very
dark. The first person te ceme en beard was
Masen. He was followed by several men,
one of whom he introduced te me as his bead
clerk, who he said would see te the unload
ing of the schooner and te the transshipment
et the goods te the ship in the Peel. He in
formed me that there was a covered ran
waiting en sh .re; and telling Wilkinson that
the small arms had been disposed of, and
that Mr. Masen would hand ever the pro
ceeds en our calling at his office, I went with
a party of my relative's men into the run,
and presently bad the whele of the chests la
the beat. Masen went with her.
Then, as she disappeared in the darkness,
but net till then, did I draw the first easy
breath I had fetched since the hour of the col
lision of the Laughing Mary with the iceberg.
A sob shook me; I had gene through much;
many wonderful things had happened te me;
I had been delivered from such perils that the
mere recollection et them will stir my hair,
though it is years since ; my first duty I knew,
and I discharged it by withdrawing te my
cabin, and kneeling with humble and grate
ful heart before the throne et that being te
wnem i ewca everyining.
POSTSCRIPT.
Here concludes the remarkable narrative
of Mr. Paul Redney. It is te be wished that
he had found the patieace te tell us a little
mere. The circumstance of bis dying in
1823 worth $31,000 leads me te suspect that
his associate, Tassard, greatly exaggerated
the value et the treasure. I am assured that
he lived very quietly, and that the lady he
married, who bore him two children, both of
whom died young, was of a nun-like sim
plicity of character, and loved show and ex
travagance as little as her husband. Hence
there is no reason te suppese that he squan-,.
dered any portion et the fortune that bad in
the most extraordinary manner ever heard of
fallen into his hands. I have ascertained
that he very substantially discharged the
grtat obligation that his relatlve Masen laid
him under, and that his three men received
1,000 apiece. It is possible, then, that the
pirates were themselves deceived; that what
they had taken te be geld or silver ingots
were net all se ; or it might be that the case
of jewelry was less valuable than the admlr
ring and astonished eyes of a plain sailor,
who admits that he had never before seen
such a sight, figured it. Be this, however,
as It may, it is nevertheless certain, as proved
by Mr. Redney's last will nnd testament, that
he did uncommonly well out of his adventure
en the ice.
Whatever may be thought of his story of
the Frenchman's restoration te life, in ether
directions Mr. Redney's- accuracy seems un
impeachable. It is quite conceivable that a
stoutly built vessel, locked up in the ice and
thickly glazed, should continue in an excel
lent state of preservation for years. The
confession of his superstitious fears exhiblu
honesty and candor. It is related that a
Capt Warren, master of an English merchant
ship, found a derelict in August, 1775, that
had long been ice bound, with her cabins
filled with the bodies of the frozen crew,
"His own sailors, however, would net suffer
him te search the vessel thoroughly, through
superstition, and wished te leave her imme
diately." A pity they did net try their hands
at thawing one of the peer fellows; the result
might have kept Mr. Redney's strange ex
perience in countenance I
Accounts of vast bodies of Ice, 6ucb as Mr.
Redney fell in with, ulll be found in the
"Seuth Atlantic Directory." Fer instance:
"Sir James C. Ress crossed Weddel's track
in lat C3 degs. 8., nnd where be had found
an open sea Ress found an Ice pack of an im
passable character, along which he sailed for
1C0 miles; and again, when only ldeg. be
yond the track of Cook, who had no occasion
te enter the pack, Ress was navigating
among it for fifty-six days,
"But these appear insignificant when com
pared with a body of ice reputed te have been
passed by twenty-one ships during the months
of December, 16M, and January, February,
March and April, 1605, Coating in the Seuth
Atlantic, from lat. U degs. S., long. 23 degs.

Tha pubhe la tee wall informed aa te the
danger from alum baking powders te nssta

out knowing u, using thee deletatleua
artleiea dally, and from than preparing
for their fatalllea feed which, wet they
a war et tta nature, they would net otter te
a beggar. Baking powders made from
burnt alum com less than foureentaa ptmetf.
When these can be worked eQ In place of
the Koyal Baking Powder, and sold for
forty or fitly cents a pound, there are many
manufacturers and dealers suffldefitiy un
scrupulous te de it.
A. tarettiA method ei selling thtee poleea peleea poleea
ene alum baking powders la by placing
them In an empty Royal Baking Powder
can and weighing them out In email
quantities when the Royal Baking Powder
la called for by customers. Tne grocer, if
questioned, claims that he buys la large
package at a lewef rate, and Is thus able
te sell below the price of tne goods In small
cans. All baking powders sold In this wsy
are entitled ee suspicion. Analyse of many
of them bare been made with a view te e
prosecution, snd in all cases they here
been found largely adulterated and gener
ally made from poslenous burnt alum.
Tnta la selling counterfeit goods, sad is, of
coarse en offence against the law. We are
81ad te knew that the Koyal Baking Powder
cm pan y bare taken the matter la hand,
snd are acting in a way that will protect
the publia from the swindle.
The surest protection from this fraud Is
for the housekeeper te buy the baking
powder of the brand she wishes In the
original unbroken package) looking care
fully te see that the lsbel baa net been
tampered with. The Royal Baking Powder
Company annoucee, what la well known,
that their goeda are packed for the con
venience et consumer In cane of rarleu
size, but are never sold in bulk, by the
barrel or loose by weight or measure. The
can are securely sealed with Ibe company's
trade mark lab', and the weight of each
Saekage atampeu en the cover. Any
aklng powder being peddled out by
weight under tbe sins of Royal they
denounce a bows and te be avoided.
Consumers should bear these facts In
mind If tby de net wish te have Imposed
upon them tbe poisonous alum stuff that Is
being prelasely distributed throughout
the country under the name of baking
powder, lr, however, they buy tbe Koyal
in cans with unbroken label, they are al
waya sure of using a baking powder
perleetly pure and wholesome of the high
eat teat, strength and tfflelency.
