Eleanor was now alone. The mulatto lay forward in the bows of the boat, also fast asleep. She gazed round, and could not but be charmed at the scene which presented itself. The sun yvas setting in. a clear expanse of sky, Illumining the waters, and tinging with a pinkyâ€"r'ed hue the fleecy bank of clouds which hung above. it. “The brig ls sinking, I am sure, by their haste to depart." observed Sir close of themselves; do you keep her exactly as she is now, while I snatch a hasty nap. \Vake me, dearest, if the breeze stiffens in the least, and wake hours.

H:e had, before leaving the brig. during the day, taken several observations: which gave him a pretty good idea of his position, which was far from being a pleasant! one. The nearest land was the island of Porto-Rico, belonging to the Span- iards, his sworn enemies. But he was not personally known to any, and he trusted to the feelings of humanity which might be naturally expected to exist in the bosoms of all men toward persons in their position. Brat then he knew the vindictive character of the mulatto, who, though for years a faithful servant, would now, he was fully aware, readily risk his own life to gain revenge. He had but to speak a. word, and the secret of the captain of the Lone Star was betrayed. “It would have been wiser. to have killed him,” said he, suddenly speak- ing aloud, without being aware of: it'.
