GAIETIES WITH THE GEISHAN,"
On arriving aboard the Fur Cathay Merton found that steara was up and the unshar hove, short and everything ready for an immediate -departure. But after he and the skipper had had breakfast he surprised the latter by exprea sing bis intention of remaining in Nagasaki for the present and by giving orders for the vessel to proceed sorse distance down the harbour to an anchorage which he would select. He did not give any reason for this sudden change of plans,
girls were at the back of the house, but directly they heard his voice they came running into the ball, no doubt wondering who the visitor was,
With a ory of joy, O Sao-san sprang forward and with ohildlike friendliness clang to his arm. Then, as they all cams out on the verandah, he. pointed to the Fur Cathy and through the mediam of O Hanson, who noted as their inter- preter, invited them to come and spend tho evening on board, at the same time asking if ho could see OUana saa, as he wished her to come with them,
Directly he called their attention to the yacht, they rst into a merry laugh and would have returned to him the money they had received that morning 3d he net told them that he should be greatly offended if they attempted to do anything of the kind. They persisted, how ever, in repeatedly outing and bringing him flowers; and then they were so elated at the prospect of going aboard the yacht that they almost tambled orer one another as they excited. ly stamperel away to put ou their Buery.

It was not long before he caught sight of the geishas enug retreat nest ling among the bush-covered cliffs; so, pointing to it, he told the captain to find a safe suoliorage at some little distance from that part of the shore
"Very good, Mr. Merton; leave all to me," replied the genial marizer. *1' find you a nice berth opposite the house and have the ropes ooiled down handsomely in case you give a ball. For I expect wo shall be having company.

Merton laughed, bat did not say anything, and the skipper walked forward and gave the mate certain orders. Soon afterwards the cable rattled through the hawespipe and the vessel came to a standstill at not two hundred and fifty yards from the shore.
She had not been long anchored when Merton saw the bousmees emerge from their dwelling and hasten down to a sampan which was hauled ap on the beach. Amidst marry laughter which could be distinotly heard out on the water they launched the boat and bundling into it took their seats and commenced, tuning their kotos and samsisene, while one of them stood up in the stern and soulled the small craft towards the yacht.
