let her rip, d'ye hear? Aye, aye, sir. Nelson, for that was his name, straightened himself, lf. At eight bells I was told I belonged to Nelson, the second mate's watch, and that my berth wave got to do is to mind your eye. Look out for Nelson, and be lively. That man ain't no softy, I teaddy disturbed the ship with shrill screams if Nelson but raised his hand, and thus his rat's wit sare many days had passed, I had discovered that Nelson had also his arts. Though I had never been in indifferent to the swing-swang of the sea. As Nelson said, with a condescending but evil smile, I wand flew to his duty with all ardour. Nor was Nelson behind Waters in energy. The warning sounds od sky were equally sympathetic, and Waters and Nelson gave a rest to their vocal machines, there miggian was disabled for a week.

ing lodgings. As the house was full, the landlady insisted on accommodating him in my room, and bedding him with me; and, on finding that the boy was English, and just arrived from Liverpool, I assented to her arrangement. My intended bed-fellow called himself Dick Heaton, and described himself as having left Liverpool in the ship Pocahontas, as a cabin-boy. He also had been a victim to the hellish brutality of Americans at sea, the steward apparently having been as callous and cruel as Nelson of the Windermere ; and, no sooner had his ship touched the pier, than the boy fled, as from a fury. Scarcely anything could have been better calculated to win my sympathy than the recital of experiences similar to my own, by one of my own age, and hailing from the same port that I had come from. Dick was clever and intelligent, though not well educated; but, to make up for his deficiency in learning, he was gifted with a remarkable fluency, and had one of the cheeriest laughs, and a pre

springy pace. How long this toil would have retained its sportive aspect for me I know not, but I owed it to the overseer that I ceased to love it. He was a compound of a Legree The cruel slave-driver, in Uncle Tom's Cabin, comparable with Nelson, bully of the Windermere. and Nelson, with an admixture of mannerism peculiarly his own. It was his duty to oversee all the gangs, the hoers, wood-cutters, fire-attendants, log-rollers, and toters.

It was his duty to oversee all the gangs, the hoers, wood-cutters, fire-attendants, log-rollers, and toters. When he approached the gang with which I worked, the men became subdued, and stopped their innocent chaff and play. He had two favourite songs: one was about his deah Lucindah, and the other about the chill winds of December, which he hummed in a nasal tone when within speaking distance of me, while the cracks of his black snake whip kept time. But, as he sauntered away to other parts, I felt he was often restive at my presence, for it imposed a certain restraint on his nature. One day, however, he was in a worse humour than usual. His

to effect the rescue of a person who, it appeared, would, on the whole, have preferred not to be rescued! The journey from the Ocean to the Nile, and from the Nile to the East Coast, added much to geographical knowledge, and was the complement of Stanley's previous discoveries. But the cost was heavy, and the leader himself emerged with his health seriously impaired by the tremendous strain of those dark months. Most of his younger companions preceded him to the grave. Stanley survived Nelson, Stairs, and Parke, as well as Barttelot and Jameson; but the traces of the journey were upon him to the end, and no doubt they shortened his days. Those days — that is to say, the fourteen years that were left to him after he returned to England in the spring of 1890--were, however, full of activity, and, one may hope, of content. No other great task of exploration and administration was tendered; and perhaps, if offered, it could not have been accepted. But Stanley found plenty of occ

the sea, when they return from their holidays; the seats comfortably filled with those who wish to fill the eye with the sights of the sea, and the ear with the sound of artificial music, blended with the countless whispers of the waves! I strode down this parade, debating many things in my mind. I went past a military or naval hospital, a battery of old-fashioned, muzzle-loaders, which I fancy are not of much use except as means of drilling volunteers; then I came to a tall monument to Nelson — at a point of land given up to rubbish and net-drying, when I found that I had been travelling parallel with the Yare, and was now at its mouth. I crossed this point, and on coming to the river, walked up along the interesting quay. I was well rewarded, for as picturesque a sight as can be found in any sea-side town, in any country, met me. The river is narrow, not quite the width of the Maritime Canal of Suez, I should say, but every inch of it seems serviceable to commerce. The use
