It was twilight on the sea, The setting sun had flooded the heavens with such golden bright. neos, however, in the wermth of its farewell kisses, that the shores and waters of Australia wore stiil lighted up with exquisite clearnoss ad beauty, Pale and roseate shadows were bending with the purple which hed mantied the aky, acc which seemed the more lonely from its contrast with the dark biue sea. ‘That sea itself was strangelyboautiful and calm And on that sea, at thet calm hour, advanced the stately ship, with swelling sais and bending epars, before « favorable breeze, with a rich freight, large treasore list, and an unusael num- ber of passengers. She was howeward bound four days out from Sydney for Liversool, and how beat the gailant hearts aboard of her! how high their hopes, and b'cst their keon imagin- ings of that fair lend and tiose sweet homes be- yond tbe heaving flood!

He had jast come ont of tho cabin, with ®strange gieam of triumph in his eyes, and was walking slowly and abstrectediy forward, and saying to bimeelf: “Thos Gar I have succeedud—thus far all is wel, Ob, England—ob, Dowlingssire!

It was acutious cage that, for a wild animal—s more wooden box, bored full of amal) Loles—and a realiza ion of tho fact rage to auddeoly strike the seif styled uaturaliet, his glances rested upon its rough sides, for a sarcastic amile lighted up bis foasures, “T've afew treasures aboard of this vossel,”” ho muttore’, with a vougeful gloam in his ey os, “and a number of servants, A cook, two wait- ers, ard threo sailors—all escared convicts from Botsay Bay! ings in human shape that I have bought for gold to execute my will, each aud every cre of them formerly transported for Ife, aad all mon ot the most desperate and vile Jainous description!
