Island of Elba, a spot that has since be come so renowned as the capital of the ' mimic dominion of Napoleon. | Mr. Cooper pictures to us the people | of the Elba (rather a few of them) stand- j ing on the shore; they see an approach-' ing lugger. He tells us of two prominent persons, Tonti, the oldest mariner of Elba to whom the people looked for advice,; and Ghita, a very attractive and popular - young girl. They watch the lugger, but ^ are unable to tell for a while what it is and who the captain is. The ship finally comes to shore, and it is found to be a j lugger from England. Night comes on, j and the captain of the lugger is invited to spend the night with Vito Viti, who car ries his guest to see the deputy garrison. | There followed a long conversation, car-1 ried on by the governor and the captain. The captain is questioned about his coun- j try, its government and religion. The | conversation closes, and by chance the stranger walking around, meets Miss Ghita, who warns him of the danger such strangers, as he, is in. The next morning another vessel is seen approaching, which proves to be the English La Proserpine. Cooper further tells of the glories of the Mediterranean Sea, the conversations of sailors with foreigners, the great sea battles in which ships are sunk, and lastly of the death of Raoul Yvard, the lover of Ghita; and how she watched over him, as he lay dying on a large rock, and did what she could to make his last mo ments on earth happy, and his after life one of eternal joy.
