After these .pyrotech nic ejaculations, tho venerable mariner gave yent to a series of abdominal cnoklcJ, which shook his oorpovosity liko tho premonitory tremors of a young earthquake. "Walk aft," said Tom. * "By tho woy," remarked the old salt, as tboy moved towards tho eabin, "tho guv'ncr yonder has a fanoy that you aro shipping arms for tho Confederates-ha 1 ha 1. good joke, sir, good joko^ shipping arms under Her Mngcsty's noso.

Look around for yourself; tli eve's a pilo of hoes, some shovels and spades, and when yOu go bolow wo'll havo tho boxos opened, and I'll show you tho prottiost lot of hnrdwaro ever shipped from Great Britain. 1 But como along to tho cabin and Iot'B drink first." "With that Oakoy ushored his visitor into tho private cabin of tho "Kate," and closed tho door on tdut Bido of tho ship from whioh she was ovory moinont rcoeivibg her warlike cargo. ''$?r "What shall it ho ? I've a little of all sorts." "Toko somo ohampogno," said Tom. "A little brandy first, oap'n-brandy first. "Brandy's a sheet anchor, oap'n, a sheet anchor-no water, thank'co, no wator; they don't agree, as tho Irishman said, when ho gavo tho Popo a recipe for making punob." "How was that?" asked Tom. "First pour in tho brandy, then add tho sugar, but, 'gad, sir, overy drop of water you put in after that, spoils tho punch, sir, spoils! the punob." Oakey plied his guest with questions, and kept him busy with answers, evQry threo or four minutes putting in a liquid punctuation point in tho shape now of brandy, and now of ohampngno, until tho British captain was in an uproarious state of personal felicity. At first ho was strictly and impa?ially neu tral-tho very essence of a representativo Britou, dutifully engaged; but tho morobe praoticcd multiplication with. Johannes Bar leycorn tho kinder grew his sympathies, until finally kindled into enthusiasm, about fifteen glasses deep, ho throw his arms affectionately around Tom, and oxolaimcd with intoxicated pathos, "Nev'r mind 'o /nrdwaro, cap'n nov'r mind 1 Yo seo. yo seo, hie-it's all right-by Jovo, all right, bio. I'm with'ye, bio-with yo 'cart aV soul, by Jove-'cart and soul, bio.'' Tho last words wore grondly emphatio, accompanied 'with a stroke on; Tom's baok, which the old salt doubtless in tended to bo particularly fraternal, but whioh Tom avers, to this day, was very much like tho descending stroke of a spilo driver, apel always gives him.a rheumatic twingo to think i about Threo or four moro drinks did tho business by whioh timo Tom was safo from all fears of inspcotion. .-jap , Between thc Otard oft tho one hand, and tho necessary offioial dignity to bo preserved on tho other, the old Briton, as ho leaned 'lovingly on Tom's arm in tho passage from tho cabin to tho ship's ieddor, found, it ex ceedingly difficult to roointajn his specifio gravity.
