When' the evening specified arrived, as
might be supposed, not many of the,invited

silent one, despite the efforts of the entertain

seemed weighing upon the the

glances in various directions, as if for:some.
thing that ought to be present, all of, which
puzzled the kind hearted Mists exceedingly.
But the evening had almost passed, away,
and as nothing conk] be seen that answered

in the afternoon, we reached Point Isabel,
'and on the 3d heard the bombardment of our

tinued,at intervals for several days. In the
