We had been nearly five weeks at sea, when the captain found, by nautical observation, that we were within one 'iundred and thirty miles of the north vwgamooth seas had hitherto been our con- E side of Jamaica.

Much Of our time was spent in conversation. and in walking on deck and when the 40W!) of evening obliged us to descend to the cabin. the captain would often l l l | t l l entertain us with a relation of the. various dangers which he and other‘ rsons had encountered at sea, or tall; With great gravity, some UL the _ Although he possessed more general information than usually falls to the l9t of seafaring persons. his mind was tinctured with some of the Weaknesses and prejudices. The ladies ot‘ our par- ty had a great taste for natural his- tory. and wished to obtain specimens of all the most interesting kinds of Sea-birds. They had several times requested the captain to shoot one of Mother Carey’s chickens. that they might take a drawing from it; howev- 61‘. he always declined doing so, but never gave any satisfactory reason for his unwillingness to oblige them in this respect. At last, Mr. Dâ€"â€" ltill- ed two of the birds. after having sev- ‘ eral times missed whole flocks of them. The captain seemed very much start- led When he saw the animals drop on the Waves. “\Vill you have the good- nose to let down the boat to pick up the game 1’" said Mr. Dâ€"â€". “Yes. sir." replied he. “if you’ll go off in her. and never return on board this vessel. Here is a serious business. Be assured We have not seen the end of it." He then walked away without offering to give orders about lowering the boat; and the seamen. who witnessed the transaction, looked as if they would J not have obeyed him had he even done w. Though we saw no land, everything proved that we were in the \V'est India seas. The sky had, within a few days. begun to assume a. more dazziing as- pect, and long ranges of Conicalâ€"shat»: ed clouds floated along the horizon.‘ Land birds. with beautiful plumage. often hovered round the vessel, and we sometimes fancied we could discover a vegetable fragrance in the breezes that swelled our sails. One delightful clear morning. when we were in hourly expectation of mak- ing the land. some dolphin appeared astorn. As the weather was very mod- erate, the captain proposed that we should fish for them; and a great many hooks were immediately baited for that I purpose by the seamen. We caught! large quantities of dolphin, and of an- other kind of fish. and put the whole into the hands of the steward. with' orders that part should be dressed for dinner. and part distributed among the crew. When the dinner-hour arrived. we all assembled in the cabin. in high spirits. and sat down to table. It being SLI George’s day. the captain. who was an Englishman. had ordered that every-1 thing should be provided and set forth 3 in the most sumptuous style, and the steward had done t'uil justice to his directions. We made the wineS, which were exquisite and abundant, circulâ€" ate rapidly. and every gl‘tss increased our gaiety and good humor. while the influence of our mirth rendered the iadies additionally amusing and ani- " mated.
