1 made up my mind, however, to

CHAPTKR VIII.
I onseil off tho sheet of tho sail
and directed tho boat, hoail at the
green and glimmering ma... anil
through It the little craft s|iod with
a ini.tv twinkling of flying-flail on '
either hand from time to time, and a
satin white wake pointing arrow-like
behind ua. It was not until about
o'clock in the afternoon that we
had brought tho Island close enough
to enable mo to distinguish it clear-
ly. What had resembled frosted all
ver in tho distance was coral aan.l
that strotclied In a dazzle from the
verdurous acclivities ajnl Mats In-
shore to tho wash of the blue ea
that glided to and fro upon It in
small opalescent broakora. There
was a great abundance of cocoanuta,
and thore were green hills apparent
ly toward the center, but of small
elevation, along with a quantity of
bu.h and a specie, of rank, tall
| gras., like to what is callc I Guinea
grass. I could witness no habitations
of an> sort, nor discern tlio least
signs of a ship, nor. for tho matter
I of that, of human life 1 scanncd
the hori/.on oageriy. but thuro was
no more land in sight, In view at
least from tho low elevation of our
boat
i had read Commodore Wilkes'
account of his ex|iedltlon into the
seas, anil of the man-eating people
he hail found on some of the Islan Is
hore, und I stared Intently in search
of anything that should resemble a
black figure having made up ray
mind, should the place lie inhabited,
to lie off till the davkpess foil, then
snoak softly ashore and endeavor to
obtain a few cocoanut. and make off
n^ain into the north whore the
Islands would lie plentiful.and where
1 might lie sure of falling In with a
ship or a trader of some rig or other.
I asked Jenny if she could so any-
thing stirring She brought her
glowing eye. to boar upon the island
and after a thorough search of it
said no. >o I continued to head right
in. and presently opened nut a
1 point of land that rounded Into
a sharp creek Tho breakers flashed
in spray against tho point and raised
a little commotion fn tho mouth ol
the creek, but past this trilling fiur-
! that wa* too Inconsiderable to
cause me nnoaslnoss, tho water
rounded into quicksilver. I made
directly for this crook, kooping n
thirsty lookout for sa\aires, but,
unless thore was a community ol
i them dwelling upon the other side ol
this little green spot of land, it was
unquestionably uninhabited. It
stretched cast and west about a
league, but how far It extended to-
ward the north 1 could not toll.
