The boats were !forted asunder—l heard my father's' voice fot: the last time! Before we got far from the ship, a fearful uproar and crash announced that her end was come; we saw her hull go down. The men were silent as they plied on the oars. Suddenly a giant bil low swept over us, the boat was overturned, and we were precipitated into the deep. I felt myself still clasped 'Jyt strong arms; I was conscious of a strang _- f:.lingsensation, and remember no more. When my senses returned felt the warm sunshine , on - my face. I sprung ep; what a scene was around me! I was in a grove of lurdriant trees such as are peeußar to the tropics; the dusky tamarinds, the fra grant orange- tree, with many other varieties, offered refreshing shade on either hand. On the left rose a mass of rock, tall, dark, and threatening, thatoverlook -ed the sea. Along-die shore were many negroes, se curing fragments of the wreck. I wondered as I looked at them, whence they could have come; when I was recalled to complete recollection of what had • Asassed by the boatswain, who had saved mefrom drown . fag. 'fin, yon have come to your self at last!' cried he, -'now let us search for the other boat. It was driven to leeward; but We shall find it. But, tell me, how will :your father have saved the dollars to pay me for bring ing you ashore!' We toiled till noon, assisted by several of the blacks, 4tt search of the boat, which at last we found driven -ceder the sand by the violence of the waves. Not a ihriegisoul Was-neer her; alas! they bad all perished *he Were in her.

I was poor tad helpless, in a strange country—without an acquana since beside the corpse of my only friend. I sunk on insgroand; I wept aloud; I watered the burning sands pith my tears. As the sun declined, I bethought my elf of rendering burial to the beloved corpse.
