assumpti( n, of !the art happened
while she was filling he position of

1837-8, a d was the result of pure

The greaer part of th- play was spo

MINOj ISLAND.—Far South,- in, the
Indian cean, (writes a traveller) in.
the midst of the almost eternal surf'
and spray, rises what isppropriate
li
ly termed Danger Island *Of all . the
lonely spots on' the globe whose ex*
istence has been ascerta . ed, this is
probably the itiostilonely. Once only
has it been known to have:been vis
ited by man. TIM sea 'for many
hundred miles rolls and flashes over
a 'shallow bottom till, e. riving at a
certain de g ree of. latitude, the floor.
,of - rocks abruptly terminates, and the
ocean becomes, in a moment-of on
fathomable depth. On the .verge of
this .abyss stands Danger' Island,
which the least touch of an earth
quake, or unusual strok of a. Inrri
cane, may some day top le over into
thelmttomless gulf. 713 billows-in
cessantlY fret and foam *against the
cliffs of banger Island,rich on all
sides descend sheer, into the deep, so
as to appear from a, distance perfect
ly inaccessible. ,
A surveying Ship,. traversing the
ocean in all directions for scientific .
purposes, once approached this wild
rock. Mu -r rowing to f.. considers-,
ble distance 'along the foot of the
,precipiecc ofie*gentleinan discovered
a small fissure, through 'which -he
felt confident they could climb to the
summit; and the boatheiug,,Pusliepl
quite close to the rocks, two or three
of the most daring landed;',and,• after
no slight.tail and peril, reached the.
top.. The proSpeet whiCh then pre

Rendered green as an emerald by. the
agency of hidden springS,. the whale
surface. of the-islet was thickly strewn
with eggs of innumerable ocean birds 1
which, rising from the task of incu
bation, formed a cattopy r of,fluttering
wings overhead. The eggs were of
all colori-white, light chocolate and
[ cerulean blue, dotted with brown or
i crimson, or turquoise, or black. Herei
and there little bills protruded from
i the shells; and the mothers, though
scared away for 'a moment by• the
unusual apparition of men, .soon

we, placed purselves in custody of-the

now "a solid rock," (the 'Most . con

name), lying on the ground and bro

circles of growth, knots, creeks, de-`
cayed parts, nodes, and every:_ other
characteristic of vegetation- ere quite
distinctly perceptible. ' Inds sped-

•At the root °lone of -the largest, of
the petrified trees, I found some of

lie finest speeitnens of petrifabtir,
