We had only just finished the work in time for as we approached the cuddy, Jackson and the steward unde their appearance from it. They were both begeimed with dust, while the perspiration ran down their faces in streams, From the list the stoward had made it appeared for such a ship's comp ny as we should be that there was an abundant supply of necessarios There was, however, no salt juak in the burgess onsk, and, of course, nothing in the way of fresh ment or poultry-of water, there was no stiut.
Before leaving, I instructed Jackson to koop his oyo on the lady in the suddy, and had my self taken the precaution of locking the pantry door and pasting the key in my pocket. Whon you come to remember the condition of her

On arrival there, our first daty was to make the necessary entry ie the log, which was signed by the skipper and myself. The fatal knives were wrapped up and placed in the safe with the camera.
"So much for that," said the skipper. And now for your erow,"
Acting under the skipper's instructions, the chief mate had already selected five mon from the ship's company, and had decovered five more in the steerage, who had no object on to this number I added Hickson, the man with making a little money on the way home. To whom I had so often conversed, and who had told me repeatedly that nothing would induce him to take up a suilor's life again. Then came the question of the cook and steward. Thero was the lady our board to be considered. I pointed out my difficulty to the skipper, who had found an immediate solution for it.
Turning to the chief wato, he said, "Make enquiries sucug the steerage passengers, and find out whether there's a married couple aboard, the man to cook and the woman to act as staw- ardess. They oun berta aft, I suppose, Mr. Bramwell ?"
I answered in the affirmative, stating that there was ample room. The chief mate went on his errand and, while he was absent, I made my way to the cabin, and got my traps together.
