Past the stormy headland of Good Hope, and across the great Southern Ocean, through Timm- St-ruits to the cruising ground about New Guinea. and the Archipelago of Solomon ; where, cut ofi'from all but merely acci- dental communication with the civilized world, We leave her and her hardy crew to pursue the objects of: their adventures cruise, and to battle With Leviathan in his native element. Months passed awayâ€"â€"-long, weary months to the true-hearted girl, who vain- ly besuiged the local post oflice vainly swept her eager eyes over the marine list of the Bristol Mercury, only to meet with disnypointinent, till ‘hopo deferred made the heart siek.’ Only one letter, written three weeks out from home, had reached her; a true seaman's loveletter. filled with the outspoken aii'ection of her stout- hearted whaleman, with confidence in her enduring truth, with pride in his noble vessel and shipmates, with sanguine pre- dictions of merited success and trium- phant return. The precious document had been read, over and again, till every word was transferred to the page of mem- ory; opened and reclosed till the folds showed alarming evidence of weakness ; still its successor came not; and the .1 jar had been absent nearly a. year. Still Jane did not cease to hope for her father, who had followed the see himself, but had given it up in consequence of failing health, still thought that. they had found a profitable cruising ground somewhere by themselves, and made a port at some out- of-the-way island. .- .. .. . .‘ ‘When you do hear from the ship,’ said he , ‘she will be doing well, depend upon it.’ Jane was the pride of her fatherâ€"his only companion and housekeeper. Her mother had died several years before; and the darling Wish of the invalid Widower's heart, Was that he might; live long enough to see his girl the happy wife of some one worthy of her. Thus matters stood when Jane one day bought, as usual, the Mercury ; and hasten- ing home with it, paused not even to re- move shawl and hat ; but tearing it open, she cast her eyes upon the shipping in- telligence. With riveted gaze upon the paper, and the paleness of death chasing the rosy bloom from her cheeks, she drop. ped into the nearest chair, and mechani~ cally read on. ‘W hat is it, Jane ? News from Reuben?’ No reply. The breath came hard and thick through the parted lips, the dilated eyes wandered not from the item till the last cruel. word was read, the last spark of hope dying “at with it.
