Without doubt it was a luggage label and torn half across from right to left. The sort of Inbel that one sticks on the top of trunks when travelling. The reverse side had been gummed, but this had mostly disappeared. The name written upon the paper had disappeared, and all that remained was the single word Esq. and below "ger to Londos "below that again "on All this was as plain as noosday. The man, whoover he might have been, was a pas. senger to England, and the particular item of luggage to which this label ad ise attached was wanted on the voyage. But what musen had sokson for supposing that this label had anything to do with the unfortunate individual whom we had found upon the deck?

The San Francisco raan, however, was unable to keep up the pace after the twelfth round. Corbett developed an effective manner, resting his vigorous swinging blows and upper cats upea the stomach.

"Well,"

I said, "I think I've worried enough over it to-night. I shell go below and Ben if I can dream of it. So far as I can tell it's about all we can do."

Having given him the course I accordingly went down to the cuddy and a glass of grog, and then made my way to my cabin. Tea minutes later I was in hed and fast asleep, destined not to wake till the steward came to call me at seven o'clock.

Next day, and greatly to my disappointment, I found that Miss Alexandra had relapsed inte hor former somi-comatose condition. She seemed unconscious of anything that went on around her, and when I persuaded her to accompany me on deck and found a comfortable place for her alongside the companion, she sat there, looking straight before her with lack-lustre eyes-as if she had no sort of idea where she was. It was a pitiable thing to witness. Pour girl! I felt indeed sorry for hor, but alas! I could do nothing to help her.

He did not look like a ses-faring mau-though for that matter I have known many skippers who might well have passed for clergy meu, doctors or lawyers. If, however, ho had best the skipper, what had became of the mates ? Possibly, I argued, they might have been murdered too and their bodies throwa overboard--or, on the other hand, they might have east in their let with the mutineers and This train of have left the ship with them. thought brought me to the most puzzling of all If they, the matines 8, had obtained possession of the resset, as the undoubtedly had done, why did they leave her in mid-ocean. They could not hope to wake the land, and no other reasel would tak them off a ship like this with- out enquiry. It was not as if she were nasound in any way on the contrary she was as trita craft as the heart of a mariner could desire. The whole thing was entirely inexplicable and I couldnt make heed er teic of it-try how I wonid.

The owners of the "Huliket" would ant of IF YOU HAVE ACQUIRED A TASTE FOR course be willing to provide for ber; we could not discover the name of the ship (I had tried to do so by every means in my power-but in vain.
