How. . ever, more than once the shot wept i through sails and rigging, fortunately » doing no material damage. Noticing a r commotion on deck. I called lite male to „ ascertain the cause. He informed me a that tho crew were frightened, or pre- d tin Jed to be, at the shots from the privn- tlake in sail and let flic Alabama come up v with ns to prevent further risk of tiu-ir 4 lives.

Tliewa l was riling all the time .and both sliips " strained heavily as they rolled to wind- | wArd with the press of canvass they were earn ing The Mcamer conld .no longer , 'stand the strain, ami in came her light i sai's. When I saw this I felt sure Of our , .-scape if the wind would only lioiil its | strength. We therefore, took in our . skvraflt and royals, and the ship felt easier—in fact, we could not have carried them longer, for the wind increased and blew in fitful gusts, a sure sign Hist a ' gale wis brewing. Tim sea continued : to rlao, and I now felt raft in keeping l the ahip off a couple of points, to bring ' the wind and sea on our quarter.

She I now closed np with its as near ai aaf el y i would permit, and hailing us, asked i where we were bound, and demanded \ the aurrander of t! i fliip to the Confed- t crate G-trrrnmr-it. T answered through t my trumpet; "Uomc and take me." Con-. J venation being too straining for the ■ longs amid the howllDg of tbe wloda and ! rolling of the lege billows, and the ! prnxitnily of the vcssela too dangerous, < wefeparaU-d a llule, ami had recourse 1 In blackboards to carry on our couversa- , lion. Semmea asked where we were j bound. I answered without a blush ■ "Melbourne." Linking possibly he might 1 try to Intercept me If he kmiw-I was to lass through the Straits of Sunda. Then ( he had the check to order to "Haul down ' i your flag and autrender. escape or no es- J j cape," on a kind of parole, 1 suppose lie j meant. I wrote on the board: "Find ] I capture, then parole." t

It . was a nook for lovers. There ware't a ■ soul in sight, and he thought his golden I opportunity -had arrived. Down he Hopped on his knees and elapsed her - hand. "Dear one," he whispered, not very loud, bit loud" enough, "I 'lutve - lured you with the whole strength and - ardorof a man's nature when it is roused liy all that is pure and goad and lovely in woman, and 1 can no longer restrain , my pent-up feelings. 1 must tell you what' is In- my heart, and tell you Hint , yet has woman heard from mylips , the secrets that are throbbing and—." . ust then a rustle was heard on the stairs , . above them, and a card fastened to a thread swung down and dangled not two inches from tbe lovcr'a nose. Un it were ' these portentous words: "lam something ,.f a liar myself." Then the EWfOl truth , fla'hed upon him, and be fled.
