A day or two after the Tavoy men had reached the island of Bundar, a party of the Moulmein men arrived at the same place for the same purpose, and were of course some- what annoyed to find the Tavoy men had ar- rived before them. They asked to be allowed to halves in the nuts, but the Tavoy men in- sisted on their right to the whole, and told night in particular—it was a dark and storm night—turned away from his door “‘a little old man,” who implored shelter.

The Moulmein men went and returned the same day saying there were no nuts worth having, and said they would remain on the island of Bundur and would take what were left by the Tavey men. This was accordingly settled between them. It seems that nuts could only be obtained in fine weather, or from some reason or another they did not try to get any when it rained, but fished for sea slugs instead, a fish highly prized by the Chinese, and fetching a good rice where there are Chinamen. One rainy ay, as the Tavoy men were fishing, threo being on the seashore, and three in the water the Moulmein men made an attack on them with muskets and daws. The three Tavoy men on shore were killed, and the three in the water, of whom the narrator was one, being fired at, swam outtosea. Twoofthese, after ewimming some hours, sank, and the third and only survivor, being a very good swimmer, floated on his back, Pays t stated he went to sleep and awoke in the mid- die of the night, finding that the tide was drifting him into the island again He regained the shore before it was light, and finding, as he stumbled along the shore, a hollow trunk of atree standing upright, with a hole at the top, he got into it, and that tree actually was his place of concealment for six months. He could see through a chink in the tree when the Moulmen went alroad, and managed to get cocoanuts when he knew the were not about The kernel was his food, and water or milk hisdrink. Atlast he found his enemies had gone, and in venturing abroad and going round the island, he per- oueet that they had taken both boats with them. He declares that one night he dreamt that in a certain part of the island there was ly- ing asmall boat, andon proceeding to the Spot next morning he found it. This seems ike romance, but the man gave his evidence | in a calm manner tothe magistrate here, Dr. Martin, and had told the same story exactly to the captain of ‘he Chinese junk, as soon as be came to himself after being taken on board, for he was at firet too agitated to say anything. To continue the str narrative, our Robinson Crusoe remembered that one of his comrades had broken the blade of his knife in opening a cocoa nut, and had thrown it down ina particular spot. He found the knife on the ground among the grasa, and though the blade was broken, managed to cut arudder and a mast. These he attached to the little boat, and taking a supply of cocoa nuts with him started for Tavoy, hes guided by the sun by day and the stars by night. He was proceeding on his course when he was picked up by the junk. The truth of the man’s story was partly confirmed in court, for one of the native offi- cials connected therewith told the magistrate that his wife, who had lately returned from Moulmein, had mentioned to him that the wife of the person whom our Robinson Crusve had named as the head of the Moulmein crew, had lately come out in very costly garments, and that ber daughters were also very richly dressed, and that it was generally known that the man had made lately a very successful expedition to one of the Preparis Islands, and bad brought back arich load of cocoa nuts Robinson Crusce has been seut to Moul- mein to identify the murderers, whom he knows by name as well as by appearance.

Every now and then a twist of his limbs brought him nearer the edge; he was evidently in the midst of a dream; and in another moment he would undoubtedly roll into a gulf, where he must be a dead man long before he reached the bottom. To shout would only hasten his fate; and the generous knight, with extraordinary hazard to his neck, climbed up the rock to his rescue. He had just grasped the unfortunate bein by the collar, when the latter awakened, an perhaps terrified by the touch, sprang over the cliff! He struck, however, on a projecting point of the rock, and clung on with a death- gtip The knight, horror-struck, risked every- thing to repair the mischief he had done. He followed, but more cautiously; and would have succeeded this time in saving his man, had not the strength of the latter given way atthomoment. Hesunk helplessly to another ledge of rocks; and there also was pursued by the enterprising philanthropist. Our adventurer, however, was now sudden- ly alarmed by the growing darkness of the gulf, and by a strange conviction he felt, that the vid man was not alarmed at all; and all at once he began to mutter a paternoster, and Te-ascend the rocks. His foot slipped, how- | ever, at the moment, and he fell upon the ob- | ject of his fear and compassion, who received him with shrieks of wild laughter, and both parties tumbled head over heels to the very bottom of the cliff. “ What is all this noise about ?”” demanded another little old man, coming out of a hole in the rock in the dress of a miner, and with a lamp in hishand. The knight’s companion | was for some time unable to answer for laughb- | ing; but at last—“ Brother,” said he, ** this | young fellow would needs save my life, and | venture his own to help me out of the rocks! What shall wedoin return? Shall we give him Garlinda to wife? ‘« Garlinda is in the safe keeping of our eld- est brother at the top of the mountain. We have no more control over her than we have over the moon.”’ “TI know that; but our eldest brother isa good -na:ured fellow, at the bottom, although he hates churles. Do you, who understand the trade, make a ladder for the young man to ascen the mountain, and leave the rest to me ’”’ Teiling the knight then to take care and bo at a certain place at the bottom of the moun- tain by daybreak, he showed him a subterra- nean passage by which he easily found his way out oF the gulf. As the adventurer retreated he already heard the noise of felling trees, the grating of the saw, the (hump of the hammer, and he pleased himself with the idea that the | little old man’s ladder was something more i than a joke. i The next morning he was punctual to his appointment, and sure enough a ladder ap- peared reaching to the very top of the moun- tain! The knight wasa little giddy at first when he began to mount ; but taking care not to look down, and to keep saying his pater- noster incessantly, he at length gained the summit. Here a sight awaited him beautiful enough to repay a thousand such dangers; it was Garlinda, lying asleep upon the velvet turf Lilies und roses! was there ever such a girl! The knight’s lips watered as he looked at her. mar 24-tf TERMS: per term of 12 les- , per term of 12 lessons..#3 eather Work in Classes, per term of 8 lessons $3 Private Lessons $1 each—Vases $10.
