The good ship rocked cn-ily upon a Ion lT, smooth swell, i.iul ploweil her way into a sea of molten gold, turning it, as by the touch of a (logician's roil, into blue depths of water beneath her keel. The. vcs-el wake, churned into foam and -hot through with ciunlloss ll:ihc of phosphorc.-einee, stretched far a-lem like a silvcrv path leading to tiio very edge of the full humph, Which hung just above the hor'zou. I fouuil the chief engineer lea 1 1 i n iigainsl the rail and enjoying the glo. rious beairy of the evening, Ful some tiiiii: ncilhcr of us snuke. At leng h he remarked in a meditative way : "It Win ju-t hen: th:it We met the Portuguese brig when we were coining Now Nesbit was a eh-ar-headed hcot who bad studied in one of tic Engli-ll universities mid taken hi do. give; then, giving way to hi, pa-siou for a roving life, he had gone to sea mid spent twenty year nlhm!.

In short, he ha.! seen much of the world, and taken good note of what he saw. The chief engineer, therefore, was n man who had in his be. id much :i:a- terial for a good slory ; and it was in I the hope of getting a a'.ory now that I j asked : 'Well, what abou! the Pur:'.i.',i:e-e brig?"

The captain swoie a little :il In r want of inann rs and we w ent on ; but when vie bad pa--cd her sonic distance, perhaps a couple of miles, I went on the bridge and found him Still leveling his glass a In r. As I rnmo up he sail, 'I don't like I In looks of that craft at all. she is n't ship-shape, and I am going to run over to her and ll it 1 out what's wrong.'

A man in a red shirt an I a pair of trousers sat thereon the deck, bis legs hanging over the side. I!e was leaning back upon a box uud r iii- left nrui, ami a red I a idker;.hief Ira led from hie right land across his lap. A loud hail at elope quartern brought no movement or response, and a sudden nwo fell upon the boat's crew. The man was dead! The mate pulled forward to the how and climbed tip the eh lins to the uVek. I lo aid afterward that nothing would have hired bill! to climb into I he jraii.u tvay be-ide that silent limin e. Pour men lay o.i the deck around the forward hatch. They had been dead a louir tini", nnd the burning sun poured down upon ;hatly bodies which wero almost skeletons, they were so thin. 'The crew of tho cutler were or dered up, and I hey searched the fchip from sli-tn to stern. They found no one in the forecastle or the bold and no one in the cabin; but in the jjullcy they found the Malay cook ami the cabin hoy, both dead, the cool; lyin upon )ii:i face with his lingers twisted in hi- Ion:,' black hair. All tho men eeepl the captain seemed to have died in agony, for their bodiei wcro writhed and twi-led. "There was plenty of fou 1 aboard a cask of -alt beef, .several hundred wciudi! of rice, and some Hour. There Here plenty of coals for the ralley lire. The ship wat perfectly Found, not a sidi was split, ml a halyard stalled: the ma-Is and spars were all secure, and the wheel and rudder in jmoI order. I!ut there was not a drop of water aboard. Here was l he secret of ll.e trairedy. Mvery water cask was dry, every butt had been np-et and drained I the last, drop. The little cabin boy lay with head and shoulders inside one of the overturned c.i-ks, and his jl iiiLr.rs grasped a !ai cup into which be had been trying to d.aiu a lew drops of water. The ship' papers and two or three hundred Mexican do.ian wen1 in the despati h-box under the captain's el how.

There was mil, as it seemed, a i!iif !t mail on board w ho could write, for no loj; was found. There was a compass and a crude chart of the In dian coast in the cabin, but no sex taut or chronometer and no siitual lhi. So these poor wretches had prob ably been blown oil' the coast by n si.ii'iii, and once out of sirlit of land tli'.y lost heir henriuirs and could not il !i I the way back iiyain.

I'mnous London Streets. Pall Mall is Ihe great street of tho London (Kngland; clubs. Theslately flub houses that line il make it luoro nearly a street of palaces than any other thoroughfare in smoky I ondun Some of the famous club houses in Pull Mall are the Oxford and Cam bridge, thfl Conservative Carlton ( lub, next the big War Olllee; the Keform Club, w hich is a Liberal stronghold ; the Athena urn, with ils long li-l of literary and scientific members; the Senior Army and Navy Club, the luuior Carlton, and the Marlborough, which is the es ial pel of II. II. II. the Prince of Wales. Marlboroug i Hoii-is itself, the resi dence of the Prince, is on Pail Mall, though you camiol see it from that street. It stands within walls at tl.o corner of the road into Si. Jainos Park and faces St. dames Palace. From St. .lanio Pall Mall extends to the llavinai ket. Il has been a favorite street for r.riiish wits and politicians for a couple of centuries at least. The beaux and wits of tjucrii Anne's time frequented il. The London world of politic, and fashion claims it now. It is a great drive and promenade for the must lulled people of England. Piccadilly is another pet slieet of Loudon fashion. Il is at once a s ei cty and business sired, and iu its eastern portion the double row of houses that lino it is almost entirely given to trade.

The bite Archbishop of York, Ir. Thomson, u-cd to tell a good story about himself, which is too good to lose. He bad been dining with a friend several miles from his residence at ISishopthorpc. After dinner he ordered his carriage to drive him home, ami when about to enter he noticed that his eoachuian was rather shaky on the box, and al-o that his voice was auvthiiig but clear. ltefore the earri age bad proceeded fat- it became evident ihat the eoach uian was incapable of driving with safety, so there was nothing for it but for the Arehbi-hop to exchange places with him if lie wislu; I to arrive home safely. Having de posited the "debu'" inside he mounted the box iiikI all went well until the narrow road up to the stables was reached. Here the carriage was diiven over several large "spars" which were lying on the side of the road. The noise cau-ed by the collision attracted the stable hoy, w ho seized hold of the horses' heads uud led them into the yard, muttering the while some not over choice language at the coachman for his carelessness. "Ymi old fool! I il ilk again!" A light from the stables r:caleii ihe shovel hat. Well! Why, jou've got the old cock's hat !"
