" I think," said the skipper _mie
morning at breakfast, as we were dis
cussing that meal in the.cuddy of the
Chleutta, then at anchor off the mouth
of the LI lima, " I think we had better
fill in as we go, so I shall send the
boats cocoa-nuttting. Would you like

With all ray heart," I replied,—
" I've never been,dowb among the la
goons, and should like it above all
things."
"1 am glad of that," said the skip
per," for shall not go myself. I'm
not anxious of being stung to death by
mosquitoes ; but as you have never
.been, down the coast, the novelty will
perhaps pay you for the
" I'll run the chance of a stinging,"
I retorted. "If we get a strong sea

little pests. But when do wwstart ?"

All h Who ii to go ,
"-The Stevedore , ,for one, because he
knows , the coast 'well ; the rest you
can choose for yourself."
"'Then I shall have Jones for one.
He's handy and cooks well "
During the. day I selected the rest
of my men, hauled the boats along.
Bide, and got tly rything ready for a
start, which it was arranged should .
take place about 3 o'clock the follow
ing morning. •
• Cenfra America is so little known

the leaders geographical knowldge.
I assume that he was not quite clear
N% hen I said that the Calcutta was at
anchor off. the mouth of the Ullma, in
what, part of thiii globe that river' was,
situated.
Close to the shores of the Gulf of
Honduras there is a low, level tract of
land, covered with immense forests,
through- which runs the Rio Ullma,
one of the largest and most majestic.
streams in that State. This river emp
ties itself into the sea in about 15 deg.
45 tu. N latitude, and 87 deg. 40 . m
W. longitude. At its ,mouth is an
anchorage, where vessels can ride in
comparative safety mid 'where, during
certain months in 'the year, isl collected
. alarge fleet of merchant ships, waiting
to be "fietifiteriilli the ma Thrig - any
which is cut in the interior and floated
down the river. Among these vessels
was the bark Calcutta, whose cargo
.was abqu', half completed.
Agra few of my readers will un
derstand what is,meant by filling in,'
or the necessity of procuring cocoa
nuts.for that purpose. I most explain,
therefore, that, in loading ship's with
mahogany, there are spaces between
the ends of the legs, and the fore and
after part of the ship, which; to prevent
the logs from shifting when the ship is
at sea, are filled with cocoa-nuts. It
was to procure a supply of nuts for.
this purpose- thati and Peter, Byrnes,
the stevedore. with ten men and three.
boys, started on that August morning.
As it was late in the season, and•all
the nuts within a short distan,4o of, tAte
river's mouth had been gathered,. our.
destination was one of-the lagoons

we shoidd all it in English, 'Salt

looked fbrward to it as a pleasant trip,

We . had beenpulling now for nea ly
two hours, •an4l a two hours' stretch at
the oar,- under a tropical sun,, is a
thing pot to bc , joked. about. It was,
therefore, wifh no, small satisfaction
that we saw the entrance to Port'Sal
open . on't he starboard side, and shortly
after Wards we entered the little land
locked cove of that name.
The harbor was a very sung.find
pleasani snot; but, though it is called
a port, and for small craft is very
comModions, the reader must not sup
pose ',it' was surrounded by wharves
and quays. On .the contrary, there
was not the least sign of life, except,
the shoals-of monkeys- -and parrots
which 'came down' to' welcome us, and
screamed - and chattered iu a most lu
dicrous manner as they flattered.
among the trees. . •
Nothing could be lovelier to the eye,
weary with the blinding glare of the
sun, than the.-.rich green of "the wav
ing trees ; nothing could be more in,
citing than the-cool shade they afford:-
ed. We selected for our encamp
ment a fine
.spot,, Clear of brushwood,
and yet well
,shaded, and imnr.ediately
commenced our arrangements for the
mght, as we knew'" thatwe could not
make head against the sea-breeze.
-which bloyre daily' on this coast with
considerable violence.
Port Sal is 'very difficult of en-
trance, but, when inside, it is quite
a fairy spot. Two . high, rocky head:
lands, about fifty fathoms apart, af
forded such a shelter as _rendered the
water of this place, even in the most
stormy weather, perfectly smooth and
Calm. A sandy beach surrounds the
harbor, backed by the primeval f. r
est, which,.' this instance, greiv
close to the water's edge.
The' bush', as well as the trees, was
full of life. When we entered; a num
bei of large alligators could be seen
basking in the sun, or standing side
by side on the beach, like a, long row
of brown soldier's. They all took to
the water afj We approached, but not
understanding why their territory
should be thus invaded, they 4-every
now and then glided silently up on
the sand-, 'shooting their long snouts
out of the water, and gazing at us ;
then as silently aunching themselves
backiva'rd, they disappeared out Of
eight.' - Finding wo did not vacate,
they swain across the harbor to. find
another hot place, awl as these cold
blooded animals delight in. At other
places sand pipers Were trotting about
in the pools ; at the entrance to a creek
was a long line of flamingoes ; while
now and then a great pelican. or boo
by, flapped heavily across the water, -
and disappeared through the entrance.
Peter Byrnes, as soon as we. landed,
started into the bush, taking his gun
with him, and ha'd not been gone tong
befiiie two or three reports 'set the
whole colony of animals in an uproar.
Jones was making hiinself conspicn
ous by colleeting-wood mid lighting a
fire. Peter boon returned With a mon
key or two, and several brace of young
macaws and parrots, whieji Jones at
once proceeded to divest of their
feathers.
By the kint exertion'of these two
our dinner was at last before us, and,
though . riot a luxurious one. garnish
ed as it was with hunger, we thought
it excellent. The air, he exercise,
and the' keen. sense of animal enjoy
ment which is to be found in such
life, caused us to look with compla
cency even on roasted parrot and
stewed monkey.
Nothing worthy of notice took place
till night came on. I had brought a,
hamtclt with me, for however heau
'TUX aTiirpoeticarit may - heto — reelin
on s bed of leaves, even though they
be of roses, I had a notion that a
hammeck, slung between two trees,
with "a blaulket to wrap myself in,
would be a much more prudent and
sensible arrangement. Accordingly,
after supper,l retired to my ham
mock, in the hope of passing a corn
fortable - eight, for what, with the
fatigue of the day and the little rest I
had had the previous night, I was
dead-beat.
Vain hope ! Let no man think to
have a. comfortable night in a tropical
forest. Up to 11 o'clock, all was calm
and serene, and, rolling myself up in
my blanket, I My 'down. Every
thing, for the first hour, was still, and
-I went to sleep watching the fire-flies
as they flitted by thousands through
,the air. - .. .. . • .
From the' most delicious slumber
that over; tired man knew, I was
awakened by a noise such as I never
heard' before It was, perhaps, the
most infernal serenade that ever fell
upon human ear. Fancy a conglome

At last day dawned, and as the
light increased, my surprise was great
er than I can describe to see the boy,
whOm I fancied had been carried off
by the alligator, quietly sleeping in his
place among the men. I awoke him
and asked hitn_for an:explanation; but

Sea again,, With our sails fining, with
a fresh and invigorating - breeze, we
passed the point and were bowling
away to our destination,: and by 6 o'-
clock w•e entered the mouth of the
lagoon.,
And how came.the Sim and object
of our- expedition—the procuring of
a supply of cocoa-nuts. In this genii
al clime the cocoa-nut grows to an
amazing height, usually from 60 to 70
feet, but in some instances, if my eye
did not deceive me, they rose from. 90
to 100 feet. The whole of the stem is
clear, that is, without limb or proteber
once, and, I might say, without bark.
At any rate, they have what may be
called a smooth, round trunk ; conse
quently it requires no little skill and
ingenuity to climb them. This was
not .to be done by agility alone, as
some of ohr fellows found out; and
here Jones proved himself a man of
resource.
It was not the first time he bad been
-cncna•nuttingrand-itwas--soon-evident
that he knelv what he was about. He
had,brought with him a piece of seuit,
which the unnautical reader may b'e
informed is a piece of wide flat braid,
formed of rope yarns. This he fas
tened round his ankles, leaving them
about ten inches apart ; having tried
this contrieahce,•to BCC that itovas fast
he commenced his &scent. This he
did somewhat in the usual fashion of
embracing the tree, raised himself bod
ily and thus, alternately raising his
body with his hands, drawing. his feet
up, and pressing the band against the
trunk, lie ascended with great ease and
rapidity.
Peter's skill was' now also brought,
into requisition. He had with him
what ho termed a • strop; a.piece of
rope, the ends of which were spliced
together forming, when opened, a sort
ofhempen hoop. Taking this doubled
he encircled the trunk of the tree with
thilwo parts of the rope, and passing
one tight through the. other, eeptirated
`the .aecondloop and slipped it over I
his head and down his body till ho
could sit in it. Then he began hi. 4
cent after the following fashion : First
be pushed• above his head the . part
looped round the tree, then • platifilig,'
his feet against the trunk, he raised
himself up several feet ; while doing
,this he slipped up the noose, and.th us
worked°his way up to Ale . top.;; There
sitting securely in the loop he leisurely,
picked the nuts and. dropped them at,
our feet.. Having cleared the, ee he,
slipped the loop . over his head, let the

,he had captured six. large.fish; one of
a description I had never seen before.
The body was chiefly of a light green
on the back, verging into yellow on
the bay, variously banded, and dot
ted with black, and. the fins and tail
spotted with vermillion or bright red,
and marked on each side with pea
cock's eyes. IThe eye of the fish
which was situated in the middle of
the head, was of relear, bright orange,
tinged in the upper part 'with red.

accidentally,was,o_onducted according
to the most.scientific_principles.:_ The
largest of the fish having been stuffed,
was wrapped in leaves and plabed in a
hole in the sand which had previously
been filled with wood, and was at the
time a- mass of, glowing opals.- As
soon as the fish was placed therein; it
was covered up, and when wanted,
was taken nut and eaten immediately.
A more delicious method of cooking
fish I never met with.
Whilst the dinner / _ was being pre
pared, I proposed to the stevedm:e
that we sgould take a bath in the la
goon Peter, however, suggested that
it was not safe on account of the alli
gators, but he said he knew a place
outside were we could bathe without
fear Accordingly, we took the gig,
and though we grounded several times,
we succeeded in getting through the
narrow channel and reached the place
Peter had spoken of.
It was a small, but beautiful basin
of water, with a fine, clear, sandy
bottom, enclosed on one side by a bit
of beach, while the rest was encircled
iy a reef of rocks. _ln Aome parts the
•eef was covered by a sheet of foam,

*broke with a noise like thunder. Out
side the, reef there was a stiff breeze
blowing, but inside the surface was
calm, and the waters clear; though
now and then it curled by a brisk flaw,
which rendered more refreshing and en
chanting, the water of this beautiful
inlet. '..,.. . )
Not caring to anchor the boat, 'wc
tindesed, and, plunging in, swam out
to the ° reef. I was enjoying the bath
amazingly, floundering' about, under
the lee of the rocks, over which the
green seas broke at intervals. half
smothered the in /l natural shower
bath. The water on the .part of the
reef on which I stood was scarcely'
two feet deep, except where the swell
came'rouud, and then I, was almost
taken off my legs, such was the pre
carious nature of my footing.
I was just waiting for another roller
to burst over me, and the stevedore
was floating on his back in the , centre
of the basin, -ben to my intense bor..'
ror I saw a large shark making tow

• The stevedore, hearing thin terrify

: the danger came. It ,svould have been
useless for him to attempt to reach the
boat, so I shouted to him to strike out
for the shore. : For a second or two ho
seemed fear-stricken; and 'made tio
fort wrench the land. Suddenly, he
either realized 'the danger of. his posi

escape, Tor 'he struck out boldly for

get in fearful proximity to him, and,

boat was floating gaily in the middle
of,the inlet, and was thus of no service,
either to Peter or to me. Thus, while,
on the one hand.-my return was effec.
tuelly cut off by the shark,. I could
not hope for any assistance from ,the
shore. It is true, the danger was note
so, imminent as in the case of the
stevedore, but my position was, never
theless, one of extreme peril, and one
from hich I could see' no 'means of
escape.
Some horrible instinct seemed to
have enabled this monster to scent me;
for a few minutes after Peter's reheat
he was floating close to me, gazing At
me with his hideoue.eyes, and looking
as though he was only waiting for h
J3orable opportunity. 'to seize_ me..

terror, and uncertain what...to ;do. The
boat was pursuing a most erratic
course, now carried oae way,.and nosy
another, by the opposite currents of

towards me, and my spirit began to'
tevivei but as soon as it got under the
lee of rocks it advanced• no further,
only bobbing and dancing before me.
as if totheat me with vain hopes.
Then suddenly anothei flax seized it,
and carried it once more into the centre
of the inlet. One time I thought. of
reaching the point by wading across
the reef, but I was uncertain as to the
depth, and I feared when I got quite
from under the lee of 'the rooks,. the
rollers would be too strong for me, so,
that idea was- dismissed. -
. I could not keep my eyes from my
terrible companion, which had con
'tinned to float almost motionless in
the water before me. His eyes, dull
and flaccid, yet so ferocious, seemed to
follinv my every movement. At inter-. -
vals, as if to delude me, he would
gradually fade away,'sinking slowly-,
and without any motion of the body,
till he almost disappeared from - Bight

fort, rose, like a cork to the surface.
There he lay like a cut pretending to
sleep, yet never taking its glance,frona,
his prey. ,
The tension of the muscles was so
great to.keep my footing, and I had
been so long in the - water, that I felt
my strength could not last much longer,
and I expected every .minute to abe
swept from the reef. All hope, there
fore to escape so far as any active
measure on my part was concerned,
was' gone—my trust was 'in God ;
I could do nothing but await liis. will.
From this. state of despondency
was awakened by a shout, and the
next moment I was hauled into the
boat.
What became of my enemy, or how
° I got clear of the inlet, I have no def' :
nite idea. All I know is that, making
a bold dash, Peter succeeded in reach-
ing the boat and rescuing me. We
were not long.in dressing, and eoon get
back to the lagoon; and though only
half an hour previous I bad expect to
be food for a shark, the idea bad not
taken away triST' appetite, for I enjoy
ed my dinner an well ..as if nothing
had happened.
After dinner, we . lit our pipes, and
reclining on the green and leafy sward,
I mused on my situation Nothing,
.erhapsr - could be - more - romantim - The - -
scene was a wild one; and as I gazed
into the dark and solemn forests, that
stretched for hundreds of miles along
the coast, and extended an ,unknown
distance into the interior, I felt my
heart dilate, and my pulse beat strong,
as I thought of their mysterious depth,-
vast extent, and the immense , variety
of animal and vegetable life they
curtained.
Nothing strikes a European more
forcibly when ho first , sees a tropical
forest than the gigantic growth of its
vegetable productions- But what,
after a time, surprises him more .than
anything is to find himself Hying, as
it were, in a perpetual spring, with a
continuous and never ending harvest.
It is
. not only surprising to him that

that a week of the life one is obliged

An important measure- -passed the'

Monday, being a bill to repeal the
Tenure of Office Act, which had - been
passed to curb Johnson in the remo

their places with Copperheads The
repeal was urged by Messrs Wash
burn°, of Indiana ; Butler, of- Massa- .

Mr. Wilson of loiva,. CI airman of the
J udielafy st , tted- that - a--
majority of that Committee favored
the repeal. The--Bill was then-passed
by yeas one hundred and twenty-four,
nays 47 ; all the Democrats, voting
in favor of repeal. , .It is thought
that the bill will be .semewliat modi

have been least effected by contact
with the white race, are now assemb
ling at that point demanding the pro
tection of the Government, and await
ing its action to place them upon res

implores the co-operation of the Com
mission in sending thither, at once, in
structors, practical missionaries, to
study the—lndian character and lay
the foundation: for that work of human
ity which is to solve the true problem
of Indian amelioration. If the philan

so much' valuable time, from their
present 'engagements in — denouncing
the equally practical energy of Sher

TOE PENSION FOR AIRS. LINCOLN.
—The press generally concedes that
the proposal of Senator Morton in
Congress for the passage- of a bill giv
ing a pension . to the 'widow of the.
martyred President Lincoln., is worthy
of approval Whatever may f o ie the
estimate - placed - by iudiyiduals upon
the conduct of the lady- herself, yet it
is fitting that the widow of the man
whose patriotism and
. devotion to his
country no one questions should be
placed . in ix condition . above want.. The
Cleveland Leader says :
"We have no especial fancy for Mrs.
Lincoln; but her claims on the nation
are not based upon her individual mer
its. She is the widow of the nation's
martyr. She has lost what every oth
er widow of the martyrs or the war
has lost, and, as the )viildws of sol
diers-and officers are , " pensieped, she
deserves and should receive a°pension.
Moreover, our national repUtatjon is
mare or less intinidtbl,kainieeted with
this widow of our chief ruler: --The
old clothes business was a- national
disgrace, and We - pension of five thous
and dollars a year will prevent its re
currence, the money will be cheaply
expended."
