CHAPTER I.
, .
TIIE PRIBOITER OF MID-OCEAN. .
Late one summer afternoon, a dozen
years age ' solitary white man stood
before an, i dolatrous temple on an island
in the South Pacific.• -
He was' of middle age, tall, thin, and
gaunt, with rugged features and sorrow
ful eyes, and with every sign of goodness
and intelligence.
. .
Beside him was a grim stone idol, in
grotesque human form, more than twice
as tall as himself, which he had just fin
ished, as was indicated by the mallet and
chisel in Wetlands. - •
"It is done," he muttered. "And these
heathen little suspect , that I haVe cut my
name and story into the base of this idoL"
He ran his eye rapidly over the inscrip
tion in question. -It was as follows :
"The Bth of May, 1852, I, David Lester,
of the firm of Lester St Nichols. of Nor-
folk, 'Virginia, sailed as a passenger from
Charleston for Hong Kong, eta cyclo C
ape
Cap
Bora, in the ship 'Reda.' .. A e
struck ha in mid.oceen, the ship forinder
ed, and we took to the boats, w hich ail
filled, with the exception. of the one I
was in.,. Alter dri ft ing several days, du
ring which my companions perished, I
reached this island. The idolatrous in
habitants made me a slave in their tem
ple, and for more than four years I have
been :doing mental offices and carving
images , Ilaave.been chained every night,
and watslied 'oonthauelly by day, but
have 'nevertheless mtide three attempts
at escape, and stall soon make another—
doubtless - my last, ash .am resolved to ,
succeed or die, p referring death to a long- I,
er captivity. I therefOre write these \
words • upon this idol, praying any one , !
n Mae Norfolk, Va.
y see them to report my fate. if
possibl, to my family, at
riddled this inscription of
n this ith day _
Ju1y,1857." ''
For Several minutee the prisoner con
templated these lines in silence. and then
aroused himself, looking warily around.
"Three times I have t ried, to escape in
.
a canoe," he muttered, "and-every time
I was caught and- visited' with tortures.
To be caught again in such an attempt
will be certain death. Yet I will risk all
the first opportunity that offers. This
longing for freedom and my family is be
cominz a positive madness. Oh, my
Godl whit is that?"
He gazed in perfect stupefaction to the
eastward, far ; o tit upon the ocean.
There miles in(' leagues away, was a
ship, her white sail gleaming as she lay
becalmed upon the waters!. .
"Aahipl a ship !" cried Lester, sob
bingly. "At last,' oh Heaven! At last
my prayer is answe I"

had slowly walked, and here they parted

where he had engaged to meet his uncle,
and Amy to return to her mother.
She tound Mrs. Lester, the open leter
in her lap, silent and motionless as 'a

"What is lemother?" cried Amy, lin

Mrs. Lester looked at her daughter
with a woe-stricken taw.
"0, Amy 1" she cried, turning to that
brave, childish heart for strength and
comfort. "Colonel Nichols writes ime

and Mrs. Lester's voice broke down m a
tempest of sobs, "that on the one hand he
offers wealth, comfort and happiness.on the me
other poverty and sorrow. (If I
refuse him, he swears to tern , us out of
our home to-tnorrow 1"
"Oh, mother 1" exclaimed Amy, with
a sharp cry, as she hid-her face in her
mother's bosom:
>-' CHAPTER IL
A DESPERATE STRUGGLE FOB LIBERTY
Before Ally Bell reached the brig lying
at the wharf, his uncle, Colonel Nichols,
had been there and arranged with the
Captain, who went by the name efinley,
to carry 4.0 y off to China, for which ser
' ;vice the - Colonel promised to give the
brig and ten thousand dollara, in case the
boy never eania back. Riley was a mur
derer, 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 Riley knew that and re
solved that Ally Bell should never see
Norfolk again.
"Where is the lad?" he asked as he and
Colonel Nichols finistad drinking success
to their nefarious scheme:rip which the
Colonel replied: ;
"He should be here at this very mo
ment. Ab, I hear a step on deck now!
Here he comes!''
Even ,as he spoke Ally Bell came hur
rying into the cabin, his face flushed
- with pleasurable excitement.
"I'm just in time to see you off, Ca
tain Riley," he said, not noticing th
guilty looks of the conspirators. "The
wind is fair, and the crew anxious. A
good voyage to you Captain. Bring me
some rare atiells when you return. They
are for a little girl's cabinet, and must be
pretty.
"Aye, aye, air. Allen." responded the
Captain heartily. "Didn't you see my
collection of shells in yonder state-room ?
No ? You are welcome to your choice
of them all sir."
He advanced, and flung open the state
room door.
Ally bent forward and looked in.
With a quick thrust, Riley pushed
him into the little room, and hurriedly
locked the door.
With an exultant smile Colonel Nichols
said adieu, and went ashore.
The next minute the hurried trampling
of feet was blended with the songs of the
stout seamen, as the brig moved slowly
from the wharf towards the sea.
i Ally's first thought, on finedng himself
zi shot up in Captain Riley's' state-room,
was that the two men were joking—
merelY intending to scare ' him a little,
and then let him out; but he soon dis
covered that the Quickstep—the brig was
.so named—had lett her wharf, and was
standing down the Elizabeth river towards
the ocean. - 4
The truth flashed upon him !
"I see it all 1" he cried, leaping to his
feet. - "Riley is taking me to sea with
him ! Captain Riley l" he shouted,
pounding on the wall, "open the door,
this minuted Let me out, or it will be
bad for you l".. - .
NO reply was made to him—no atten
tion paid to his cries.
He saw, that he was fast,
For a moment he was stunned by the
knowledge of his situation.
Then he drew up his•sliglit, boy fig-
ure proudly, eis eyes flashing defiance. ish
, s ." The thing for me to do," be mused,
"is, to help myself. A boy who can't
fight his own way will never bei 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 stateroom. : 1
"I see," he mentally•commented, look
ing around, in the light thus furnished.
"Here'a a whole dray load of boxes and
bundles. And "here's a ' cannon too,"
added Ally—"a small One, which is ex
pected, no doubt, to 'bring a big price

schooner, a long g y
from the shore, the
boy'olimbed upon the topmast, and looked
back at Riley. who was rapidly approach
ing. "The - captain felt sure of his prey,
and was telling his men how to seize the
boy, when Ally suddenly fell flora the
topmast, as if shot, and immediately sunk
from sight. -
- "Thunder and lightning," cried Riley,
"he's gone!"
"Gone?" echoed all tifernenin chorus:
"Yes, gone!" and Riley sprang to his
feet, bending forward. "I saw him go!
He fell back into the water, and went
down like a bullet, , Withont a cry! Pull
for your lives!" ~.
The men obeyed. The boat was quick
ly besidd the topmast. But no trace of
the boy.could be found!
"I'll take my Bible oath," said Riley,
"thatt the young salamander:bas not gone
_towards the nearest -shore.-or any other.
A. cramp or a shprk has took him!",
The eyes of the scheming, villain lit up
strangely, almost savageli.
"And such be the fact, men," added
he, "we may as well give up the search."
The men resumed their oars, the Cap
tain the tiller, and the boat returned in
silence to the brig, with Ally clinging gui.
etly to the stern—his head just far enough
out of the -water to enable him to breathe
—and there he continued to stay until the
boat returned to the brig.
And thet., the boat being left 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 dis.
tance, 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 sigh of relief, and
seized a pair of oars resolutely.
Crouching out of sight in the bottom; of
the boat, he began to row shorewards ,
but softly, for he was still near the brig,
and the night was so calm •he feared his
enemies would hear him.
There was only too much occasion, as
it proved for this caution.
The boat had not been gone two min
utes from the brig, when Captain Hiiey.
wishing to go ashore to see Colonel
Nichols, made his way aft, and discover
ing its disappearance, at once sent a
couple of men after it in another boat.
to
Ally seeing that he mast again take
the 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. Cramped and chilled by
his long continuance in the water wea , the ker
boy was whirled along, growing
every moment; but just as hope was at
its ebb he suddenly beheld a sail behind
him, rapidly approaching, under the force
of a freshe be.
"A brig, ce ning rtai ree n ! z"
he groaned, after a
long look at the nearing cloud of canvass.
'•ls must be old Riley's I The wind
having come again, he is off for the
Pacific ocean!"
He regarded the brig, asit camenearer,
asking himself il'be should hail her.
"Let her be what she may," he tent.
,pred "friend or foe, I must hail her! My
14ength is used up! Isbell soon slip off

\ the brig is coming straight towards me.
I will hail her!"
He waited till the brig was near him,
and then , carried his resolve into execu
tion. His feeble call was heard and an
swered. and thp brig hove to, a boat was
lowered and he was taken aboard , the
stranger. The boy had only strength
enough to learn that the- brig was not
Riley's, and then he fainted.

CHAPTER 111.
MORE VILLAINY.
Captain Riley, verily believing that
Ally was drowned, went ashore to inform
Col. Nichols of the fact. He found the
Colonel just coming from Mrs. Lester's
cottage, where he had gone an hoar be
fore, and'sttinned Amy by informing her
that Ally Bell, her lover and hero, was
being carried off to sea In the Quickstep,
and that she would never see him again.
Tile Colonel heard Hiley's story about
Ally's disappearance with breathless in
terest, as they walked along the beach;
after which the two villains congratu
lated themselves upon the boy's being
thus completely taken out of their path.
While discussing the matter, they heard
the sound of 'oars, and soon saw a boat
approaching.the shore opposite a cottage
belonging 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, sobbinu.convulsively. Colonel
Nichols, with‘surprise and alarm, recog
nized the voice of the weeper that 'of
Amy Lester. She and her companion
left the boat and entered th 6 cottage, from
the windows of which a light soon shone.
Colonef Nichols and Captain Riley crept
beneath a window, to spy. and listen.
They soon learned that Collins had rowed

and that she had there ' beard of his at.

Amy was vehement in her denuncia.
Lionsi of col. Nichols. and , declared that
if Ally was really dead, she would raie
the whole country against his uncle who
bad compassed his death.
On attempting to rise to go home, Amy
found she was too weak to walk, and sent
Collins for her, mother to come to her.. As
soon as the old sshor left the cottage,
Colonel Nichols proposed to Utley, that
he should carry Amy off Instead of Ally,
and leave her on a plantation of his on
as to
the coast; down by Cape Henry, so
silence her dangerous tongue, , and also to'
give-him a hold on her mother. The
Captain agreed tothis, and they entered
the cottage coming upon Amy BO sudden

completely . overcome that ,she fainted,

"So much the,, etteri" said Nichols,

and the two made their way to the ,spot
where Collins's boat lay. It was but the
work of a moment for Hiley,to push off
the little craft and overset it. •
',"There, they'll: think the•girl got wild

CHAPTER IV.
LESTER ESCAPES AND REARS FROM ROME.
We left) David Lester l on his lonely
;Island, planning hie escape, with a ship
in sight from the elevated point where be
was at work. He waited till night and
un chainiest of tbs idolatrous temple came
to him in hie dungeon, where they
nightly confined him; and then suddenly
leaping upon the priest, he bore him
dis to
the floor, chained and gagged him, -
guised himself in his priestly robes, stain
shhie face brown with dirt went to the
ore where the canoes were ,
lying, enter
ed one oFthem, and paddled out to sea
in the direction in which _he had seen
the ship.
He paddled for hours with ail his
Strength, and had gone so far that the
lights of the island could not be seen, and
yet no ship had been found, and now the
wind was rising and a storm was threat
ening.
"Oh, sod! _ A.m,l forsaken?" he cried,
in an awful,anguish, seized with a fear
that the •wind would take the ship from
him. !`Moat I perish here?'
At that moment, when hope was dying,
he beheld a eight that turned all his wild
woe Into yet wilder ecstasy.
There, to the northward, was the ship,
stannding,directly towards him, with all
sails set to catch the rising breeze, and
not half a mile away.
"Yes, there she is, he shouted. "She
is coming this way. lam saved—esved!"
He raised his eyes to heaven in a mute
thanksgiving and sobbed aloud, the glad
tears streaming' down his worn and hag
gard 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
the ship's deck, and she drew steadily
nearer swerved from her course slightly,
and a rope was thrown from .her deck,
tailing into his canoe.
He seized the rope in desperate eager
ness, and a group of sailors leaning over
the ship's side drew him aboard.
In an instant more the ship had resum
ed her course, and was moving in stately
fashion before the beeeze.
"Safe at last!" murmured Lester, lean
ing against the bulwarks, weak and nerve
less as an infant. "Oh, the gladness of
this hour!"
Poor man! He did not dream at that
moment that his adverse fate was even
then relentlessly closing around him; that
he was on one ot his own ships—the
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 Indian
canoe.
On inquiry, Lester learned that the ves
sel was the Cyclone, and in the light of
the cabin lamp recognized her Captain.
Tearing off his priestly robe, and wiping
the stain from his face with its coarse
folds, he exclimed:
"Captain Sales, don't you know me?"
"David Lester!" cried the Captain,
turning ashy pale, and grasping his sta.
tionary seat as though he had received a
shock.
Lester wiped his brows and sat rdown,
the Captain taking a seat opposite him.
He had so much to ask; that his emo
tions choked his utterance, and prevented
him from observing the look of deadly
hatred with which the Captian regarded
him. But be finally plied his questions
fast, and learned that his wife
own into
that hie daughter Amy had grown into a
lovely girl, and that both wife and daugh
ter had long mourned him as dead He
also learned of his wife's poverty.
"Colonel Nichols settled up the firm
affairs," said the Captain. reservedly,
"and there was nothing left for Mrs. Les
ter. - She has been living on his bounty
these two or three years ! When your
interest in this ship
as sold, I bought it.
The Colonel owns the other half I"
"B this is a base fraud !" exclaimed
Lestea, "The Colonel has been untrue
to the trust. I reposed in him. I have had
suspicions of his integrity during my long
exile, but I have never dared to entertain
them. I'll make matters straight on my
return. I can prove my claims and bring
him to justice—he iastarily villain I My
poor Margaret l" and he groaned.
Lester's threat cone.erning Nichols

Captain's nature. lie

i n • the ship, fraudulently acquired:
threatenedk and he hated still more the
lawful owner whose right in the Cyclone

attentions: and when i left this port,

himself that he loved her, and meant to

This cruel thrust , struck home to the
poor husband's heart, and uttering a
great cry, he fell forward with his face
upon the table, while the Captain regard,

exultation. The New York Ledger con
