As far as I could make out there was only one, but :the darkness amongst the trees was so great that. I could hardly make out the shape nf a man. I found I "us right :forl had not been waiting and holding myself in readiness more than three minutes before I heard some one coming duintly along on tiptoe, evidently tracking us step by step. Twice over when I stopped to give my load a bit of a hitch, I fancied I heard sounds behind us. and that Worried me so that at last, without aayingn word - to my mate, I stopped short suddenly, and slipped beside the hack amongst onmo bushes, leaving those two. to go steadily on, which they did, without noticing me, while 1 hop- ed to be able: to over take them afterwards. From a word or two I heard fall, I ,knew that the little Indian girl was going unwill ingly , but such was her devotion to poor Bill, that she would have gone through tire and water for him without hardly a word, and on they went, and I last. There was a faint rustle as if something passing through the bushes once or twice ; but, as that might be some Small animal, little heed was given to it; and once more we set off. walking quietly for that part of the coast where the hulk was lying. “70 went on in silence for another hour or no, and then, coming to the spring, we sat down again for a. rest, as we had done the night before, and while We :41de the .drop of rum-endqvater we had brought with no, I sat wondering whether: We had been fol- lowed, and got in quite a nervous state, as I couldn’t help feeling that some one might spring upon us at any mament, knife in hand, from the darkness, and we have no chance to make a fight of it. ‘Sho says you are mistaken. .Yon did not touch her,’ said Bill after whispering to her again. ‘ ' I'm sorry for it, then,’ 1 said to myself, as we walked on, ‘for if I din’t touch her. I did somebody olse,andmost likely some- body else is following us.’ The little girl gave a. vandal-lug sort of reply. and Bill asked her the question again with a similiar result. ‘ Whatdo you mean, Jack ?' said my mate. ‘ I mean did I frighten her when I touch- ed her In the dark, just before you called me,’ Isaid. ‘Did I scare you, touching you, little one ?’ 1 said after we’d been walking about half an hour. (Con!inuc¢l.) ‘ Hist l’ he said, and then he gave the low chirrup, which‘was anewered. and the next moment the little girl came panting up, and we started off for the bulk once more.

Worse still, just over me»- for my head was about on a level with where the deck used to beâ€"there we. the Spanish Don sitting nursing his eword and twisting his pointed mustnchee as he looked right full in my eyes with the most horribo Item I ever saw.

I’ve just cut through the side of a rotten keg. Look!’ he said. chopping with the shovel. ‘ there’s the hoops and (10th below bore. and on the other side are any quantity. Look 1' ‘Go'd !' I said, speaking now as hoarse- IV as he. ‘ Now, Jnck,’ he said, as the shovel mt- tled once more, and. atooping doWn, he thrust his hand into the hole he had made. where the light was no strong that I could see them quite plainly. and that he caught up in them a double handful of shining gold pieces, nearly as big as croWns, luf- mixed up with sand and hits of rotten wood. ‘Only phosphorus, out of dead rotten wood and bones, Jack.’ he said. in a hoarse sort of voice ; and he went on digging away till I he ml the blade - f the shovel giving a. ahm-p' JM‘. as if it had hit upon a piece of "'0". He was quite rightthough my hair seemed to he stirred by a cold hand as I saw what I did ; for, as he now fiercely drove in the spade, at every' stroke there was a pale bluish light seemed to come out of the sand and spread and spreai till there was a faint glow shining up,so that I could see the show 9] quite plain, and Bill‘s figure as he stooped. ‘ I suppose I ditl,’ he said in a strange voice ; ‘ but it dont matter, for there’s light enough, and he went on digging away. He had started, and 86 did I, for at that moment the lanthorn fell over on its side. rolled away, flickering a. moment, and went out. ‘ You must have caught it with the. edge of the nhovel,’ I snid‘ with my mouth feeling all dry, for I divln't believe he had. ‘ \Ve shall soon get to something, lad, ’ he said, encoumgingly,‘ and the people are too much afraid of this place to come and inter- fere with it after We’re gone. What’s that? The next minute, ho had drive; the shov- el down into the sand and powdoriug wood, and thrown a. ahovelful aside; then another and another. As he said there was nothing to bo afraid of, as far as I could see, but the darkness while the lanthorn. from where he had set it down, threw n’dim,‘yell)w glow on the place where Bill was going to dig. “There, my lad,’ he said. laughing; ‘There'snothing to .be afraid of, and we are not a. pair of girls to be frightened at shadows. Give me that apade.’ ‘Givo me the lanthom, lad, ’ said Bill, and I gave it to him, when, to show me a good example, he leaped boldly on to the dried wood close by the long cannon, and ca. ‘led on me to follow. I took a firm grin at my courage, and hauled him home as laying down such things as I did not want, I lit the lanthorn, shut up the horn door closely, and then hanging it to my neck by a land yard, tool: spade and ex in hand, followed Bill to the hulk, and climbed up after him, till we stood once more on the ragged edge of the bulk, level with the deck. ‘There, Jack.’ Bill said, as the little maiden crouched down under the shelter of abush; ‘there’e a good sign. Now, my lad, ax, spade, and a little activity. and we’ll soon see whether the old fellow is worth powder and shot. Bring the Ian. thorn.’. Bill gave me a. double sort of a. look, but as I said no more, he turned and went on, and in course of time we came out upon the sands once mone where the sea. gently rip- pled in, and rolled over all golden with phosphorescence. ' There lay the hulk though, quite black, and without a sign of the dim light we had seen the night before. ‘That’li settle him for a. bit,’ I said to myseif, as I trudged on, and after nearly looking my way, came upon Bill and the Indian girl waiting. ‘ What was that noise i” said Bill eagerly. ‘Only some kind of a. wild cat tracking us,’ I said, ‘ and I let him have my hanger.’ bound, and dashed off among the trees. 16. 1879.
