t 2 P e |Â¥, A few minutes‘ after the brig‘s anâ€" chor had been let go, a signal was made to the shore for a boat. The twilight was yet abroad; the line of the land dark against the rusty crimson of the west ; the flag was to be readily deâ€" scried, and there was a fluttering of air still to make a conspicuous thing of the bunting amid the congregation of colourless sfiurs and masts, ami% which, here and there, you already saw the twinkling of a cabinâ€"lamp or of a lanâ€" tern swinging pendulumâ€"like from the forestay. i 4s ia ht o e es e in him, to engage at least a shoreâ€"goâ€" ing eye, accustomed to the perukes and bags andâ€"‘tyes‘ of the streets. _ He was Rabited plainly in a coat with vast A tall young fellow of some three or four andt wenty years of age stood in the gangway of the brig, lm‘fafiently Enz’mg shorewards. He was istinctly andsome, spite of a certain haggardâ€" ness and hollowness that seemed to beâ€" token a considerable spell of illness. His eyes were dark, and lustrous, full of intelligence, and, as one should say, of ‘softness also. He stood a little above six feet, but with the stoop of a man who had not !yet been able to stiffen himself out of a long term of prosâ€" trating sickness. His hair was long and abundant and curled plentifully upon his shoulders and back: an oddity in him. to engage at least a shara ~R. Whilst the sullen explosion of the gun was echoing along the Sandwich glnins, a large, exceedingly handsome rig, that had been quietly gushmg her way into the heart of the shipping, helped rather by the tide than by the faint fanning aloft, hauled by hber courses and let go on hballiards; and a minute after, her anchor fell from the cathead and she swung quietl‘y to the drag of her cable. She was from down Channel, a homewardâ€"bounder : but those were the ambling days of trade ; no fuss was made over what we now call prompt despatch. It was merely a question of how the wind sat; %nd a six weeks‘ detention in _ the Downs was accepted as a commonplace incident in a voyage from the Thames to foreign parts. _ se ns arm seaâ€"line, with a hot c1 f cloud here and there va sd upon the delicate radi the borizon ran with a lin« though scored with the s leg of a pair of compasses It was an evening in t] ecurl of breeze out of the east IL. ed into music by distanceâ€"the strains of fiddles in the nearer craft, the yvoices of men sinfing. the pleasant noise of belis, the clank and rattle of winches and capstans and windlasses, the chorâ€" usings of lungs of leather stowing the eanvas, the shrill chirpings of _ boatâ€" swains‘ whistles. Then on a sudden broke the sudden harsh thunder of a gun from the lineâ€"ofâ€"battle ship. It was instantly followed by the %raceful drooping of the manyâ€"coloured untin% to right and left, denoting the hour o gunset; and now masthead and gaffâ€"end showed bare of the bunting that had but a little before made the mass of shipping appear like a floating city of banners; and high above the congregaâ€" tion of masts the towering fabric of the threeâ€"decker loomed grim and forâ€" bidding u&an the darkness of the evenâ€" ing stealthily creeping like some dark A light westerly wind had crowded the spacious waters of the Downs with anchoved vessels: The colour, the apâ€" parel, the quaint bravery of the ships and mariners of the last century, made a noble and sparkling show of the maâ€" rine pageant. The hour was a little before sundown, and the gush of warm, red glory past the giant headland went in a tincture of dark gold to the zenith, and thence pale as amber to the eastâ€" arm seaâ€"line, with a hot crimson head f cloud here and there vaguely definâ€" sd upon the delicate radiance, whilst the borizon ran with a line as clear as though scored with the sweep of the It was an evening in the month of Beptember. There were scarce fewer than three hundred sail of vessels gentâ€" ly straining at their hemp cables to the easterly set of the water. They had come together as if by magic, for that m’nmg the historic tract of waters steaped bare to the white terraces of the Forelands; whilst now the mulâ€" titudinous shipping showed like a forâ€" est upon the sea, gay with a fluttering togs:xll yards snugging the spaces of white cloths into lines of snows There were the little bilander bound to the Mediterranean, rigged with a long laâ€" teen yard upon her mainmast; the highâ€" sterned pink; the roundâ€"bowed sturdy snow; the galley of one hundred and fifty tons, whose long low hull, with ports for sweeps, gave her a most pirâ€" atical look, with a malignant fancy to follow on of a breathless calm and a gtagnated vessel, towards which this same galley is impelled by her huge oars, as though she were some vast m;ll-y marine insect subtly though tly stirring to the impulse of its antennae. The scene was full of light and life. 6tanding on Deal beach, so quiet was everything ashore, so still this hour of sundown, you would have heard a blending of innumerable sounds softenâ€" ed into music by distanceâ€"the strains pennons, delicate as a bit of penciling with the wondrous intricacies of the rigging, brilliant with the red sheen of the waning luminary upon glass and brass; upon the writhing of giltâ€"work upon quarterâ€"galleries and castellated sterns; upon innumerable figureâ€"heads of fantastic device, upon yellow spars where the expiring flames in the west trembled in veins of burnished brass. An oldâ€"world scene of this kind is not to be matched nowadays, The iron craft bhas entered the soul of the maâ€" rine, and all is dull, flat, prosaic. Ships of fifty fashions filled the Downs that evening. _ There was the towering threeâ€"decker, grand as a palace abaft, With handsome galleries and spacious windows trembling to the lustre that rose to them from off the running watâ€" er, the red coats of marines dotting the white lines that crowned her adamanâ€" tine defences, shrouds as thick as cables soaring to huge round tops, from which, higher and higher yet, rose topmast and topgallantâ€"mast and royalâ€"mast into miracles of airy delicacy, from whose central spire languidly floated the penâ€" non of the ship of the state. There was the East Indiaman outward bound,newâ€" ly brought up, scarcely less regal in ber way than the firstâ€"rate, with John Company‘s house flag at the main unâ€" der the dogâ€"vane that glanced like a streak of fire to the raining of the splendour beyond the line of coast, the red flag at ger peak, the grinninill.ips of capnon along her sides, the glitter of uniforms upon her quarterâ€"deck,and rows of lively hearties aloft upon her A TALE OF THE SEA ‘"Tall enough for a Maypole," said one of them. ‘"*What‘s his sect?" exclaimed anothâ€" er. "Looks as if his hair growed from a woman‘s head." ‘"Smite me," cried one of the two boatmen who had pulled the young felâ€" low. ashore, "if _ ever I takes a _ job again without first agreeing with the part as to tarms. A dirty four shillin‘! But what‘s a man to dew? He outs with his halfâ€"ginea piece, :mclJ says ‘tis all the money he‘s got in the iworld: and who‘s to inow that it ain‘t a forgâ€" ed bit tew ?

He spat with #ust and lurched off, on which the gré Embroke up, and made in severâ€" al detachments for the various publicâ€" houses or inns in Beach Street, At last the tall young fellow cried out, ‘"Make it four siill'uxgs, then, and you shall be paid." The others agreed; the halfâ€"gutinea was changed into silver; and Yor kwalked away, followed curiously by the eyes of the group of men who had assembled. _ An altercation followed; York was reâ€" solved, the boatmen importunate and clamorous, and presently offensive. Other boatmen were attracted by the noise, and soon there was a crowd of Deal men listening to the shouts of their two brethren and the old deterâ€" eingd remonstrances of Mr. Jeremy York ‘"See here," said he, pulling out a bal{â€"puinea piece, ‘"this is all. the money I possess, and I shall have no more until I can beg, borrow, or steal it. If I deduct six shillings from this, what does it leave me ¢" "Give us foive," said the men. ‘‘Three," he answered; "for God‘s sake, don‘t take advantage of a sick sailor !" As the man spoke, the boat‘s keel grounded on the shingle, and the little craft swept broadside to the beach. York picking up his bundle, stepped out, and inquired the fare. The boatmen deâ€" magdedksix "shxil-l_i}lg‘s. "No planking it for me, not if there‘s a mattress to be hired !" cried York. ‘"Suffer such a fever as has kept me wasting for six months in Valpanaiso, and you‘ll wish your skeleton marrowâ€" less, that it might give over aching." ‘"‘There are inns enough, anyway,"said one of the men. ‘"Troy Mother Pudâ€" dell‘s first. She keeps the sign of the Cat o‘ Nine Tails, Sandown way.

Remember cuffs and pockets and metal buttons, crimson breeches, coarse gray stockings, and shovelâ€"shaped shoes heavy with large plate buckles. His hat was & threeâ€"cornered affair, and from time to time he fanned his face with it, whilst he continued to watch steadfastly and anxiously the approach of a boat from Deal beach. o e my wordsâ€"if you‘ll feel able to ship along with me by the time I am ready to sail, and that‘s giving lyl'ou from now to December, why, all that I can say is, there‘s a berth ready for you." _ "I am heartily obli%:a‘fl to you, sir, for the offer," said t other ; "and I thank you from the depths of my soul for the kindness {ou've done me.â€" Indeed, Captain Settle, I shall never forget you; and if I am equal to goâ€" ing aâ€"sailoring again by December, you may reckon me already, sir, as upon the ship‘s articles." _ J M ‘"Whoy not?" answered the other boatmen gruifly. ‘"Ye‘re a seafaring man beloike, and there ought to be more‘n soft plank proper for sailor‘s bones to be found vacant at Deal." They continued exchanging _ compliâ€" ments after this pattern whilst the boat approached ; presently it was alongside, and the tall young. fellow ‘"Town choke full oi allow," was the answer. ‘"Take them there ships," with a nod in the starlight towards the phantasmal huddle over the stern of the boat: ‘"One person from each craft ‘ud be more‘n enough to overâ€" flow us, and you‘d say that oneâ€"third of every ship‘s company out yonder had come ashore." ‘"A bother!" cried the young fellow, a little petulantly ; "small prospect of my hiring a bed, if it be as you say.â€" D‘ye think there‘s a chance of my getâ€" ting a night‘s rest in your town ?" hom the captain had addressed as Mr. York Erepured to descend. _ ‘"I shall endeavour to be in London the week after next," he exclaimed as he swung a moment by the man-rOfes; ‘"and I trust, captain, you‘ll not forâ€" get to put in a good word for me with the onwers of the Coelia. It will be a matter of twentyâ€"eight pounds to me, who am now in a condition to view even a sixpence as a very serious thing." _ The tall young fellow, named Jeremy York, lowered %im.-selt into the boat ; a small bundleâ€"apparenntly all the luggage he hadâ€"was handed down to him by the skipper ; he flourished his hat ; the crew of the brig, some of whom were at work upon the forecastle and some aloft, gave him a cheer ; and in be "run‘"" before the morning, and unâ€" der the noses, too, of the lookout aboard the firstâ€"rate, and the revenue people, trudging, solitary and austere, along the tall cliffs‘ edge or the long low line of beach. ‘"‘Trust me, trust me, Mr. York," the captain exclaimed with a cheery wave of his hand. a moment or two be was being swept shorewards by the vigorous arms of a brace of Dea{ boatmen. It was now dark ; the western hectic was gone, the stars floated in a showâ€" ering of brilliant points to the liquid dusk, that hung glimmerless above the horizon, with here and there a roundâ€" browed cloud with a sheen upon it like the space of a snowâ€"clad rise to obscure a narrow space of the sparkling dome. The Foreland soared wan and massive from the white wash of the water at its base, then swept darkly to the flat land upon which were grouped â€"the houses of the town of Deal, whose foreâ€" shore at this moment winked with its row of oil lamps, or a dim illumination in places of small lozengeâ€"paved winâ€" dows, and a brighter streak of light striking through an open door. High and dry upon the shingle rested groups of boats ; and at intervals, as York apâ€" proached the beach, he would catch a noise like to a rush of water ugo_n shingle, and mark some little fabric newly launched, swiftly making off on a small buccaneering cruise of its own amongst the shipping or maybe to imeroeé)'c some â€" shadow Who;'::rx'"ini past the Goodwins with her hold ful ?t silks, tobacco, tea, and spirits, to ‘"Many people in Deal just now ?" York inquired of one of (he boatmen.

' But certain other people had no idea of leaving the matter to the slow and uncertain hand of time. â€" There was a plot afoot. Geoi'f\e was in it, and Sidmouth Vane, and Mr. Blodwell ; so was the Marquis, and another, whose present name it would ruin our dee&) mystery to discloseâ€"if it be guessed, there is no help for it. And just when Laura was growing sad, and a â€"little All at once there was a revival. A rumour, a piquant rumour, began ta be whispered at the clubs. Men again looked at Gerald Neston, wondering if he had heard it, and at George, askin how he would take it. Mr. Blodwefi had to protest ignorance twenty times a day, and Sidmouth Vane intrenched himself in the safe seclusion of his official apartment. If it were true, it was magnificent. Who knew ? Mr. Pocklington heard the rumor, but, communing with his own heart, held his tongue. _ He would not disâ€" turb the peace that seemed again to have â€" settled on his house. â€" Laura, having asserted her independence, had allowed the subject to drop; she had been bright, cheerful, and docile, had seen sights, and gone to entertainments, and made herself agreeable; and: Mrs. Pockilington hoped, against a secret conâ€" viction, that the rebellion was not only sleeping but dead. She could not banâ€" ish gerself from London ; so, with outâ€" ward confidence and inward fear, she brought her daughter home in Novemâ€" ber, praying that George Neston mnght not cross her path, praym% too, in her kind heart, that time might remove the silent barrier between her and her daughter, against which she fretted in Fate‘sInstruments The Marquis, after taking tea with Neaera and satisfying himself that the lady was not planning immediate flight, strolled back to his hotel in & thoughtful mood. He enjoyed a little triumph over Mr. Blodwell and _ Sidâ€" mouth Vane at dinner; but this did not satisfy him. For almost the first time in his life, he felt the nsed of an â€" adviser and _ conâ€" fident: he was afraid that he was goâ€" ing to make a fool of himself. Mr. Blodwell withdrew after dinner, to grapple with some papers which had pursued him, and the Marquis sat smoking a cigar on a seat with Vane, struggling against the impulse to trust that young man with his thoughts. Vane was placidly happy ; the distant, bhypothetical relations between himself and Neaera, the like of which his busy idle brain constructed around every atâ€" tractive marriageable woman he met, CHAPTER XX t Summer and autumn came and went. The season died lingeringly and sufferâ€" ed its slow resurrection. â€" Grouse and, partridges, autumn scares and vacation speeches, the yield of the crops and tLe beginning of the season each had had no power to disturb either his soul or his digestion. If it so fell out, it would be well ; but he was conscious that the object would wring from him no very active exertions. stay at Brighton. . Vane risked a philosophical generalâ€" isation. "All nice women are flirts," he said. ‘"That‘s what you mean when you call them nice." ‘"Very pretty and attractive, though." ‘"And the shoes ?t" ‘‘Damn the shoes!" said the Marâ€" quis. 1 The next morning, Mr. Blodwell and Sidmouth Van went to London; but the society Ipapers recorded that the Marquis of Mapledurham prolonged his ‘"Mrs. Witt expected to find George here, I suppose ?" he asked, flicking the ash from his cigar. ‘"Yes, I think sog ‘"Anything on there ?" ‘"Nothing at all, my dear fellow," reâ€" plied the Marquis, with more confiâ€" dence than he would have shown twelve hours before. ‘"She knows he‘s mad about little Laura Pocklington." ‘"‘The first step is a wile then, no doubt." ‘"Most women are so tedious. Still, yo‘t'lrunc_le}'s}tqnd my feeling ?" e "Of course she‘sâ€"well, the deuce of a flirt," said the Marquis. . » ‘"This afternoon," answered the Marâ€" quis, gravely. _ _ enfi RAaslan Vane‘s cynical humor was tickled by the denoument this admission sugâ€" gcésted. "Gad! I should like to see rald Neston‘s face!" he chuckled, forgetting his own design in his gratiâ€" fication. ; _ After a moment‘s silent smoking, Why don‘t you marry ?"* asked the Marquis. _ It is a question which often means that the questioner‘s _ oOwn thoughts are trending in that direction. "She‘s living very quietly," remarkâ€" ed the Marguis. _â€"*"I might in your ition. For myâ€" self, I hate brats." e "Ah, you will feel it some day." Vane thought this rather barefaced. ‘"When did it attack you?" he asked with a smile. § "I‘ll call on her toâ€"morrow," said Vane, with his usual air of gracious condescension. * Vane turned toward him with a smilé and almost a wink. "Oho!" he said. ‘"Be respect{ful to your elders, yOu young dog," said the Marquis. ‘‘You make us forget your claims in that respect. You must be more venâ€" erable," answered Vane. e The Marquis laughed too, and put his cigar back in his mouth. _ He took it out again almost at once. "It wouldn‘t be bad to have a son," he said. "I mean an heir, you know." "I‘m waiting for that heiress.‘" Then he added, periaps out of good nature, "If it comes to that, why don‘t you?" . "I‘m not anxious to have people pointâ€" ing at me for an old fool.", ‘"Oh, hang people! _ Besides, you‘re not old." & "Fiftyâ€"six." w ‘"That‘s nothing nowadays." o ‘‘You‘re laughing !" said the Marquis, suspiciously. _ _ _ Re : P t & ® Puffyâ€"Just saved a man‘s life? Guflfyâ€"How was that? Puffyâ€"Met a fellow on the street. Said he‘d blow my brains out if I didâ€" n‘ttgli,ve him my watch. Gave him the watch. _ Mr. Kinghorn left a small piece with the druggist, which weighs about one and one half ounces, and the latter will conduct the sale of the six pounds. ‘¥he same which was shown to the Telegraph reporter at the drugstore was broken from a lump weighing 42 pounds. It resembles a piece of tallow very much. Ambergris is a solid fatty substance, of a dull gray color, the shades being variegated like marble, and possesses a peculiar sweet earthy odor. It is a morbid secretion formed in the intesâ€" tines of the spermaceti whale, and is generally found floating on the seaâ€" shore and in lumps weighing from one half an ounce to 100 pounds. The samâ€" ple is still in the hands of the Dighy druggist. and will probably be sent to the States, where a deal will be made for the whole. It is ncedless to say that Mr. Kinghorn; who was so lucky in making the find, is being congratuâ€" lated from all quarters upon his rapid rise on the road to wealth, fisherman‘s feelings can be imagined when hbe learned that he had wasted ‘about 94 pounds of the ambergris, which, had he kept it, would have brought him for the lot $56,000. _ As it is, he only has left about six pounds, which will bring him when wfff the sum of $8,000, .â€" . . . _ooc."~ ... a sample to St. John, where it was shown to a druggist, who offered for it a price which by no means approachâ€" ed its value. Mr. Kinghorn went back to Dighy by the steamer Prince Rupert and took the ambergris to a l ocal druggist, who after close examination, identified it, and on looking up the price list, found and on iooking u{l) the price list, found that it was worth $3 per ounce. _ The The little town of Digby, N. S.. is very much excited at present over the finding of some ambergris by Mr. Isaâ€" iah Kinghorn, a fisherman who lives in Granville, a small village across the river from Digby. Mr. Kinghorn was in conversation with a St. John Teleâ€" graph reporter and told the story of his find. He had been rowing along the bay shore at Granville in his boat one day last week, and noticed some ‘"stuff" floating on the water. It looked to him like tallow. _ He took it into his boat and rowed to his home at Granville, where he tried to boil it down to make soft soap. Failing to do so he threw the remainder of the supposed tallow away. He had about 100 pounds of the material in all, he estimates, and had only kept six pounds of it after the rest had been destroyed. He was told that it was a very valuable article, and in consequence he brought ‘Lord Mapledurham is coming," hbe said, ‘"‘and he‘s been very busy lately. "I thought he was out of town," said Mrs. Pocklington. i+ ‘"He only came back g'esterdB-Y- The door opened, and Vane‘s ser,yant announced with much pomp, ‘"The Marquis and Marchioness of Mapleâ€" durham." $ The Marquis advanced straight to Mrs. Pocklington ; then he took Neaâ€"~ era‘s hand, and said, ‘"You have, alâ€" ways been good to me, Mrs. Pocklingâ€" tOil}. I hope you‘ll be as good to my wife." 1 Phe > ed to his own use and credit Laura‘s blushes and Laura‘s laughter, and, when the invitation came, innocent Mrs. Pocklington, without committing herâ€" self to an approval of Mr. Vane, reâ€" %g:ed to thh?kp it pleased Laura to take with any young man other than George Neston, and walked into the trap with gracious urbanity.

The whole affair, however, shocked Lord Tottlebury very deeply, and Gerald Neston is still a bachelor. Whether this fate be a reward for the merits he displayed, or a punishment for the faults be fell into, let each, according to his prejudices or his exâ€" periences, decide.

Then firs. Pocklington came round, and took a cup of tea, and, still unâ€" consciously doing just as she was meant to do, drifted into the balcony with the Marquis, and had a long converâ€" sation with him. When she eame back she found Vane ordering a fresh pot ‘"But we must really be going," she said. ‘"Mustn‘t we, Laura®?"‘ _ And as she spoke she took her daughter‘s hand a.ndD[())attedit. lseV! " *A ou expect nay one else, Vane?" asked idir Blodwell. "Well, I did, but he‘s very late." ‘"Where can he have got to?" asked Neaera, smiling. "Oh, I know where he is," said Vane. ‘"‘He‘sâ€"he‘s only in the next room." Everybody looked at Mrs. Pocklingâ€" ton and smiled.
