Romance blows with the wind from every solitary island; and the romance of Tristan da Cunha is its grandeur of isolation, the struggle for existence of the few inhabitants of its rock-bound shores and the ex- periences of a sailor who left as a heritage to the island the belief that somewhere amid the rocks is to be round a wealth of pirate treasure. The island is distant from its nearest neighbor, St. Helenaâ€" lsle of Napoleonic memoriesâ€", by 2500 miles and is far. from the path of ships, rarely indeed receiving a visit from the great and busy world beyond the horizon: a world which. marching along the highway of pro- gress, has all but forgotten this out- ;‘iost of civilization in the desert of the i-§outh Atlantic Ocean. in 18‘4. during the war with Great Britain. an English garrison occafied this strategic island. There they found three Americans one of whom, Jonathan Lambert, “of Salem, a citizen and mariner thereof”, is :eputei to have sailed the seas as a bucczszwr. As a pirate he ran untrue to form somehow escaping the ard arm and public hangings that ave been their traditional fate.

The real discoverer of the island was a Portuguese navigator whose name :15?) ésland bears. This was in the year 850, “my" right and claim an ihé rational and sure ground of absolute occupancy.” Thus the place is invested with the magic spell of a Treasure Island, and, to this day, the islanders believe that within its bounds is to be found a rich hoard of doubloons, moidores, pieces of eight or louis d’or. Whether this be true or not, Lambert, when found by the English, was engaged in the peaceful occupation of prepann’ g the skins and oil of seals, with whic the shores abounded. These were exchanged for provisions with any passing ships; and the trade appears to have been so lucrative, that Lam- bert was encouraged to issue a pro- clamation, inviting all the world to trade with the island.

Physically the island is entirely of volcanic formation. High clifls circle the lonely spot and are pierced with ravines, the walls risinghke ramparts from the sea, to a height in many places of over 1000 feet high. They are topped by a central cone that stands out amid the surrounding cliffs at a height of 7640 feet, snow- capped and symmetrical as the Peak of Tenerifl'e. Here, in the largest crater, is a fresh-water lake, wnich. it is said, is never frozen. 0n the northwest of the island is the sole access to the sea â€" a narrow plateau where is the only settlement. The people are self-governing and self-supporting. The men are daring sea-men and clever carpenters and masons; but there is a touch of the primitive about the picturesque bullock-carts, and the cottages built of huge blocks of stone. ._ .fi-.- . of the more restlm ones among them, the present colony of 140 souls has sprung.
