' My father was a very busy, Indus , trious man, grimly .Intent upon re . tHeving a lost fortune, and I think lie never dreamed enaf I wa pos sessed of anything like an lmagina 4 ion. At all events, the only books Jhe left in my way were tables , of logarithms, sines and tangents, treat ises upon earthwork, ' timber struc tures, Jetties, breakwaters and the like, together with tfi-u or three vot - umes of chemistry and geology. So ' you;may Imagine with what rSve ' noua I attacked "RoaTnson Crusoe".

Day after day, when my father was absent in pur- ..' .suit of hia undertaking, I sat upon , the.breexy bluff and gazed out on the blue water of the weautlful bay, , dreaming of some day going away i in a chip and getting wrecked on a tropical Island, where -I could live an Ideul Crusoe life. lAn old negro man, with whom 'I Ibecame acquainted, added a great deal to my foolish d.eslre by telling mrie ' romantic stories of . pirates and smugglers whose ships, he said, were 1 all the time hovering on the ewuth , era horibon whenthe weather was very favorable. I grew so interested at length that I thought df nothing else but the Imaginary delights or a loeiy lire on ome far-away, una'ecovered ahore. I dreamed of it throughout my sleep and pondered oveh it every hour of (the day. My father was a practical, rather austere man, and I did not mention my fanciful ambition to (him; but to Uncle Luben, the old negny I told everything. Of course, the kind- hearted, ready-tongued ' African, thinking I was merely giving cent to a. iboyihh Imagination, entered, fully lato the spirit nf ell my Tlans.
