THE CRUISE OF THE CORACLE.
It was broad day when I awoke, and
found myself tossing at the southwest
end of Treasure island. The sun was
up, but was still hid from me behind
the great bulk of the Spy-glass, which
on this side descended almost to the
sea in formidable cliffs.
Haulbowline Head and Mizzenmast
Hill were at my elbow; the hill bare and
dark, the head bound with cliffs 40 or
50 feet high and fringed with great
masses of fallen rock. I was scarce a
quarter of a mile to seaward, and it
was my first thought to paddle in and
laud.
That notion was soon given over-
Among the fallen rocks the breakers
spouted and "bellowed; loud reverbera
tions, heavy sprays flying aud falling,
succeeded one another from second to
second, and I saw myself, if I ventured
nearer, dashed "to death upon the rough
shore or spending my strength in vain
to scale the beetling crags.
Nor was that all; for, crawling to
gether on flat tables of rock or letting
themselves drop into the sea with loud
reports, I beheld huge slim/ monsters
—soft snails, as it were, of incredible
bigness—two or three score of them to
gether, making the rocks echo with
their barkings.
I have "under&tood since that they
were sea lions and entirely harmless.
But the look of them, added to the
difficulty of "the shore and the high
running of the surf, was more than
enough to disgust me of that landing
place. I felt willing rather to starve
at sea than to confront such perils.
In the meantime I had a better
chance, as I supjiosed. North of Haul
bowline Head the land runs in a long
way, leaving at low tide a long stretch
of yellow sand. To the north of that,
again, there comes another cape —Cape
of the Woods, as it was marked tipon the
chart—buried in tall green pines, which
descended to the margin of the sea.
I remembered what Silver had said
about the current that sets northward
along the whole west coast of Treasure
island; and seeing from my position
that I was already under itsinfluence, I
preferred to leav# Haulbowline Head
behind me, and reserve my strength for
an attempt to land upon the kindlier
looking Cape of the Woods.
There was a great, smooth swell xipor.
the sea. The wind blowing steady and
gentle from the south, there was no
contrariety between that and the cur
rent, and! the billows rose and fell un
broken.
Had it been otherwise, I must long
ago have perished; but as it was, it is
surprising how easily and securely my
little and light boat could ride. Often,
as I st ill lay at the bottom, and kept no
more than an eye above the gunwale,
I would see a big blue summit heav
ing close above me; yet the coracle
would butbounce a little, dance as if on
springs, and subside on the other side
into the trough as lightly asabird.
I beffan after a little to grow very
bold, aaid sat up to try my skill at pad
dling. But even a small change in the
disposition of the weight will produce
violent ehanges in the behavior of a cor
acle. And I had hardly moved before
the boat, giving up at once her gentle,
dancing-movement, ran straight down
a slope of water so Kteep that it made
me giddy, and struck her nose, with a
spou tof spray, deep in tot he side of the
next wave.
I was drenched nnd terrified, und fell
instantly back into my old position,
whereupon the coracle seemed! to find
her head again, nnd led me softly as be
fore among the billows.lt wa#plain she
was not to be interfered with, and at
that rate, irince I could In no way in
fluence her course, what hope had I left
of reaching- land?
I began to be horribly frightened,
but I kept my head, for all that. First-
moving with all care, I gradually bailed
out the coracle with my sea-cap; then
getting my e_\e once more above the
gunwale. I set mvself to study how it
was she managed to slip so quietly
through the rollers.
I found each wave, itisteail of the big.
smooth, glossy m%nntaia it looks from
shore, or from a vessel's deck, was for
all the world like any rang? of hil'.s on
the dry land, full of peaks and smooth
places and valleys. The coracle, left to
herself, turning from side to side,
threaded, .so to speak, her way through
these lower parts, and avoided the
steep slopes and higher, toppling sum
mits of the wave.
"Well, now," thought I to myself, "it
is plain I must lie ivlu-re I am, and not
disturb the balance; but it is plain, also,
that I can put the paddle over the side,
and from time to time,in .smooth places,
give her a shove or two tow ard land."
Xo sooner thought upon than done.
There I lay on my elbows, in the most
trying attitude, and every now and
again gave a weak stroke ortwo toturn
her head to shore.
Tt was very tiring and slow- work, yet
I did visibly gain ground, and as we
drew near the Cape of the Woods,
though I saw- I must infallibly miss
that point. I had still made some hun
dred yards of easting. I was, indeed,
close in. I could see the cool, green
tree-tops swaying together in the
breeze, and I felt sure 1 should make
the next promonotory without fail.
It was high time, for I now began
to be tortured with thirst. The glow
of the sun from above, its thousand
fold reflection from the waves, the sea
water that fell and dried upon me. cak
ing my very lips with salt, combined
to my throat burn and my brain
ache. The sight of the trees so near
at hand had almost made me sick with
longing; but the current had soon car
ried me past the point, and as the next
reach of the sea opened out I beheld
a sight that changed the nature of my
thoughts.
llight in front of me, not half a mile
away, I beheld the "liispaniola," under
sail. I made sure, of course, that I
should be taken; but I was so dis
tressed for want of water that I scarce
knew whether to 1*? glad or sorry at the
thought, and long before I had come
to a conclusion surprise had taken en
tire possession of my mind and I could
do nothing but stare and wonder.
Tlie "liispaniola" was under her
mainsail and two jibs, and the beautiful
white canvas shone in the sun like
snow or silver. When I first sighted
her all her sails were draw ing; she was
lying a course about northwest, and I
presumed the men on board were go
ing round the island 011 their way back
to the anchorage. Presently she began
to fetch more and more to the west
ward, so that I thought they had sight
ed me and were going about in chase.
At last, however, she fell right into the
stood there awhile helpless, with her
sails shivering'.
"Clumsy fellows," said I, "they must
still l>e drunk as owls." And I thought
how Capt. Smollett would have set thein
skipping.
Meanwhile the schooner gradually
fell oIF, and filled again upon another
tack, sailed swiftly for a minute or
so, and brought up once more dead
in tlie wind's eye. Again and again
was this repeated. To and fro, up and
down, north, south, cast and west the
"liispaniola" sailed by swoops and
dashes, and at each repetition ended
as she had begun, with idly flapping
canvas. It became plain to me that
nobody was steering. And, if so, where
w ere the men? Either they were dead
drunk or had deserted her, I thought,
and perhaps if I could get on board
I might return the vessel to her cap
tain.
The current was bearing coracle and
schooner southward at an equal rate.
As for the later's sailing, it was so wild
ond intermittent, and she hung each
time so long in irons, that she certain
ly gained nothing, if she did not even
lose. If only 1 dared to sit up and pad
dle I made sure that I could overhaul
her. The scheme had an air of adven
ture that inspired me, and the thought
of the water breaker beside the fore
companion doubled my growing cour
age.
Up I got, was welcomed almost in
stantly by another cloud of spray, but
this time stuck to my purpose, and set
myself with all my strength and cau
tion to paddle after the unsteered "liis
paniola. Once I shipped a sea so heavy
that I had to stop and bail, with my
heart fluttering like a bird; but gradual
ly I got into the way of the thing, and
guided my coracle among the waves,
with only now and then a blow upon
her bows and a dash of foam in my face.
I was now rapidly gaining on the
schooner; I could see the brass glisten
on the tiller as it banged about, and
still no soul appeared tipon her decks.
[ could not choose but suppose she
was deserted. If not, the men were
Iving drunk below, where I might bat
ten them down, perhaps, and do what I
chose with the ship.
For some time she had been doing the
worst thing possible for me —standing
still. She headed nearly due south,
yawing, of course, all the time. Each
time she fell off her sails partly filled,
and these brought her, in a moment,
right to the wind again. I have said
this was the worst thing possible for
me; for helpless as she looked in this
situation, with the canvas crackling
like cannon, and the blocks trundling
and banging on the deck, she still con
tinued to run away from me, not only
with the speed of the current, but by
the whole amount of her leeway, which
was naturally great.
But now, at last, I had my chance.
The. breeze fell, for some seconds, very
low, and the current gradually turning
her, the "liispaniola" revolved slowly
round her center, and at last presented
me her stern, with the cabin window
still gaping open, and the lamp over the
table still burning on into the day.
The mainsail drooped like a ban
ner. She was stock-still, but for the
current.
For the last little while I had even
lost; but now, redoubling my efforts,
I began once more to overhaul the
chase.
I was not a hundred yards from her
when the wind came again in a clap;
she filled on the port tack, and was off
;i<r;iin, stooping and skimming like a
swallow.
My lirst impulse was one of despair,
but my second was toward joy. Hound
she. came, till she was broadside on to
me- •! Still till she had covered a
half, and then two-thirds, and then
three-quarters of the distance that
separated us I eould ice the waves
boiling white under her forefoot. Im
mensely tall she looked to me from my
low station in the coracle.
And then, of a sudden, I began to
comprehend. I had scarce time to think
—scarce time to act and save myself.
I was on the summit of one swell when
the schooner came stooping over the
r.ext. The bowsprit was over my head.
I sprung to my feet, and leaped, stamp
ing the coracle underwater. With one
hand I caught the jib-boom, while my
foot was lodged between the stay and
the brace; anil as I still clung there
panting, a dull blow told me that the
schooner had charged down upon and
struck the coracle, and that I was left
without retreat on the "Ilispaniola."
CHAPTER XXV.
I STRIKE THE JOI-LY ROGER.
I had scarce gained a position on the
bowsprit, when the flying jib flapped
and tilled upon the other tack, with a
report like n gun. The schooner trem
bled to her keel under the reverse; but
next moment, the other sails still
drawing, the jib flapped back again,
and hung idle.
This had nearly tossed rue off into
the sea; and now I lost no time, crawled
back along the bowsprit, and tumbled
liead-foremost on the deck.
I was on the lee side of the forecastle,
and the mainsail, which was still draw
ing. concealed from me a certain por
tion of the after-deck. Not a soul was
to be seen. The planks, which had not
been swabbed since the mutiny, bore
the print of many feet; and an empty
bottle, broken by the neck, tumbled to
nnd fro like a live thing in the scuppers.
Suddenly the "Ilispaniola" came
right into the wind. The jibs behind
roc cracked aloud; the rudder slammed
to; the whole ship gave a sickening
heave and shudder, and at the same
moment the main-boom swung in
board, the sheet groanifcg in the blocks,
and showed me the lee after-deck.
There were the two watchmen, sure
enough; red-cap on his back, as stiff as
a handspike, with his arms stretched
out like those of a crucifix, and his
teeth showing through his open lips;
Israel Hands propped against the bul
warks, his chin on his chest, his hands
lying open before him on the deck, his
face as white, under its tnn, as a tal
low candle.
For awhile the ship keptbuckingand
sidling like a vicious horse, the sails
filling, now on one tack, now on an
other, and the boom swinging to and
fro till the mast groaned aloud under
the strain. Xow and again, too, there
would come a cloud of light spray over
the bulwark, and a heavy blow of the
ship's bows against the swell—so much
heavier weather was made of it by this
great rigged ship than by my home
made, lop-sided coracle, now gone to
the bottom of the sea.
At every jump of the schooner, red
cap slipped to and fro; but—what was
ghastly to behold—neither his attitude
nor his fixed teeth-disclosing grin was
any way disturbed by this rough usage.
At every jump, too, Hands appeared
still more to sink into himself and set
tle down upon the deck, his feetsliding
ever the further out, and the whole
body canting toward the stern, so that
his face became, little by little, hid
from me; and at last I could see noth
ing beyond his ear and the frayed ring
let of one whisker.
At the same time, I observed, around
both of them, splashes of dark blood
upon the planks, and began to feel sure
that they had killed each other In their
While I was thus looking and won
dering, in a calm moment, when the
ship w as still, Israel Hands turned part
ly round, and, with a low moan, writhed
himself back to the position in which
I had seen him first. The moan, which
told of pain and deadly weakness, and
the way in which his jaw hung open,
went right to m}- he«rt. But when I
remembered the talk I had overheard
from the apple barrel, all pity left me.
I walked aft until I reached the main
mast.
"Come aboard, Mr. Hands," I said,
ironically.
He rolled his eyes round heavily; but
he was too far gone to express surprise.
All he could do was to utter one word:
"Brandy."
It occurred to me there was no time
to lose; and, dodging the boom as it
once more lurched across the deck, I
slipped aft, and down the companion
stairs into the cabin.
It was such a scene of confusion as
you can hardly fancy. All the lockfast
places had been broken open in quest of
the chart. The floor was thick with
mud, where ruffians had sat down to
driuk or consult after wading in the
marshes round their camp. The bulk
heads, nil painted in clear white, and
beaded round with gilt, bore a pattern
of dirty hands. Dozens of empty bot
tles clinked together in corners to the
rolling of the ship. One of the doctor's
medical books lay open on the table,
half of the leaves gutted out, I suppose,
for pipe-lights. In the midst of all this
the lamp still cast a smoky glow, ob
scure and brown as umber.
I went into the cellar; all the barrels
were gone, and of the bottles a most
surprising number had been drunk out
and throw n away. Certainly, since the
mutiny began, not a man of them could
ever have been sober.
Foraging about, I found a bottle with
some brandy left, for Hands; and for
myself I routed out some biscuit, some
pickled fruits, a great bunch, of raisins,
and a piece of cheese. With these I
came on deck, put down my own stock
behind the rudder-head, and well out of
the cockswain's reach, Went forward
to the water-breaker, and had a good
deep drink of water, and then, and not
till then, gave Hands the brandy.
He must have drunk a gill before he
took the bottle from his mouth.
"Ay," said he, "by thunder, but I
wanted some o' that!"
I had sat down already in my own
corner and began to eat.
"Much hurt?" I asked him.
lie grunted, or, rather, I might say he
barked.
"If that doctor was aboard," he said,
"I'd be right enough in o couple of turns;
but I don't have DO manner of luck, you
see, and that's what's the matter with
me. As for that swab, he's good and
dead, he is," he added, Indicating the
man with the red cap. "He warn't no
seaman, anyhow. (And where mought
you have come from?"
"Well," said I, "I've come aboard to
take possession of this ship, Mr. Hands;
and you'll pleas® regard me n« your
captain until further notice."
He looked at me sourly enough, but
raid nothing. Some of the color had
come back into his cheeks, though he
still looked very sick and still contin
ued to slip out and settle down as the
ship banged about.
"Ry the by," I continued, "I caji't
have these colore, Mr. Handte; and by
your leave I'll strike 'em. Better none
than these."
And, again dodging the>boom, I ran to
the color lines, hauled down their
cursed black Hag, and chucked it over•»
board.
"God save the king!" said I, waving
my cap; "and there's an end to Capt.
Silver."
He watched me keenly andjjlyly, his
No. 8
chin all the while on his breast.
"I re;-kon," he sa:d nt last—"lreckon,
Cap'n Hawkins, you'll kind ofwantt(£
get ashore, now. S'pose we talks."
"Why. yes," says T, "with all my
heart, Mr. Hands. Say on." And I
went back to my men! with a good appe
tite.
"This man," he began, nodding feeb
ly at the corpse—"O'Brien were his
name—a rank Trelander—this man and
rae got the canvas on her, meaning for
to sail her back. Well, he's dead now,
he is—asdeod as bilge; and who's to sail
this ship, 1 don't see. Without I give
you a hint, you ain't that man, as far's
I can tell. Now, look here, you gives
me food and drink, and a old scarf or
ankecher to fie my wound up, you dt>;
ard I'll tell you how to sail her; and
| that's nbout square nil round, T take It."
"I'll tell you one thing." says I; "I'm
' not going back to Capt. Kidd's anchor
age. I mean to get into North Inlet,
andbeach herquietly there."
i "To be sure you did." he cried. "Why,
I ain't sich an infernal lubber, after all.
I can see, can't I? I've tried my fling.
I I have, and I've lost, and it's you has
the wind of me. North inlet? Why, 1
haven't no ch'ice, not I! I'd help you
sail her up to Execution dock, by
th\inder! so I would."
Well, as it seemed to me, there was
I some sense in this. We struck our bar
| gain on the spot. In three minutes 1
1 had the "Ilispaniola" sailing easily be
| fore the wind along the coast of Treaa
-1 ure island, with good hopes of turning
the northern point ere noon, and beat
ing down again as far as North inlet
before high water, when we might
beach her safely, and wait till the sub
siding tide permitted us to land.
Then I lashed the tiller and went be
low to my own chest, where I got a soft
silk handkerchief of my mother's. With
this, and with my aid. Hands bound up
the great bleeding stab he had received
in the thigh, and after he had eaten a
little and had a swallow or two more of
the brandy, he began to pick up visibly,
sat- straiglitef up, spoke louder and
clearer, and looked in every way an
other man.
The breeze served us admirably. We
skimmed before it like n bird, the coast
of the island flashing by, and the view
changing every minute. Soon we were
past the high lands and bowling beside
low, sandy country, sparsely dotted
with dwarf pines, and soon we were be
yond that again, and had turned the
corner of the rocky hill that ends the
island on the north.
I was greatly elated with my new
command, and pleased with the bright,
sunshiny weather and these different
prospects of the coast. I had now
plenty of water and good things to eat,
and my conscience, which had smitten
me hard for my desertion, was quieted
by the great conquest I had made. I
should, I think, have had nothing left
me to desire but for the eyes of the cock
swain as they followed me derisively
about the deck, and the odd smile that
appeared continually on his face. It
was a smile that had in it something
both of pain and weakness —a haggard,
old man's smile; but there was, besides
that, a grain of derision, a shadow of
treachery, in his expression as he crafti
ly watched, and watched, and watched
rae at my work.

b Bodily Exerclte of Abt Value to a

A respected citizen of Buffalo, a pro
of every day, and often of the night, to
1 bard mental work, never -walks when
that dull and wasteful occupation can
t>e avoided, ne was never on a horse,
and but for a moment on a bicycle, on
p, memorable occasion. He has never
played ball, cricket or tennis, and in
dulges in no athletic sport or practice
whatever. "Why should I waste time
In this child's play?" he asks when his
friends reproach him for his indolence.
"I find better uses for my time, even for
pay leisure, than satisfy my boys. I
eat and sleep well, and the machine
works smoothly. Go along with your
tnarbles, and polo, and trundling baby
carriages on two wheels, and let us
busy men alone!" This attitude toward
the general subject of athletics and
bodily exercise is not often openly
but it is practically exemplified
by thousands of men in this country,
and by not a few well-known persons
(ven in England, where outdoor recrea
tion is a sort of religion.
The chief example of all the physical
Jo-nothings is, of course, Lord Macau-
Jay. "During an epoch when, at our
principal seats of education, athletic
pursuits were regarded as a leadingob
ject of existence rather than as a means
of health and recreation, It requires
some boldness," says Sir George Tre
velyan, "to confess that Macaulay was
utterly destitute of bodily accomplish
ments, and that he viewed his deficien
cies with supreme Indifference. He
<tould neither swim nor row, nor drive,
nor skate, nor shoot. He seldom crossed
a saddle, and never willingly. When in
attendance at Windsor as a cabinet min
ister he was informed that a horse was
at his disposal. 'lf her majesty wishes
to see me ride,' he said, 'she must order
out an elephant," " So, according to
the post hoc ergo propter hoc mode of
reasoning, which is in great favor with
Mr. Bryan and other economists and
financiers, if he wishes, to be a famous
literary man and a great historian, the
first step of the aspirant is to eschew
bodily exercise in all of Its silly and
wasteful forms.
Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, who is said
to be the youngest man for his age in
the house of commons, is another fine
illustration of the advantages of avoid
ing violent exercise. He never walks,
never rides a horse, and knows not a
single sport. Yet he is the most alert,
fresh-looking and mentally active of
men. "Many a trained athlete," the
London Chronicle said of him not long
ago, "might envy Mr. Chamberlain his
apparently fine condition." He looks
At for anything. With him might be
classed quite a long list of distinguished
Englishmen, including personages like
Lord Salisbury, the duke of Norfolk
and the lively Mr. Labouchere—men
who do not, as most Englishmen do,
delight in various games, sports or
other forms of physical exercise, from
youth to old age.
What Is one man's poison is an
other's cure. Some men may be so con
stituted that they thrive best without
exercise. But let us hope the no-ex

lar panacea among English-speaking
