Jacuob's LSeles in the Pa-ific OcentIa. We caught a distant glimsc of Moa. At eight I. :I. the sky cloud ed over, and became as black as the cook's fininel. We furled the liuht sails, close reefed the topsailz. an:i made all snug. It was a dismal night ; the thunder roared ami crashed around us as if the heavens had been rent asunler ; the chain lighting circled around, and seeming ly played over our spars and i igging. We stopped the chain-holes with Call van, to prevent the electric fluid from entering onri magazini. The rain nouried down in torients, and filled the sterni-boat as .fac as one could bail it out. B; the glare of the lightning our crew e-mtd be seen standing in line upou deck, buckets of rain-water from the trun to fdll u thewatercasks. Thi .'cond day 'after this, in the afternoon, we were sailing to the eastward, close aloIIg the coast iof Papan, whici is here fured of-I beautiful elevated lands, covered with th- v-rdure of perpettal summer, atered by purling t: Camis .T cold water. A great many came off in hand some canoes, with one outii r, for the purpose of trallicking with us. Tiey were naked, with the exccetion of ornaments hung about their per sons, and wero stunt, savage looking mCII, of a dark copper color, with hair somewhat longer aid straighter than the wool of the negro. Each canoe contaiu-d a goodly supply of Jowerful bows, arrows, spears and war-clubs, all of which, combined with the physic.l appear ance of these natives, designated them as a race of fearless warriors. They seemed friendly, and we threw them two lines over the stern, and entered into trade for cocoanuts am jasper stone adz-s. They inmited Is politely to come on shotre, auwl said that, in one moon they woul bring us plenty of totrtoise shell, pearl1- shell. ostrich plumes, ivor-y, camph1-r, nt. mengs, edhibhe bir-ds' nests, .ahin oil, diamond, etc. The wviind now f'reshecned upl and our headway increased, so that the .canoes sheer-el about, endanige.inug their outrnigger-s, and were obliged to Jet go the tow-lines and dropl aster-n. We no0w arrived at thie monuith of n noble bay; it was -a "new discovery-!" TXhe land wias elevated, piicturiesqute, atnd verdant. Tiheo east poinmt of the bay was a denuded redl clay and~ r-ocky bluff, fr-om whic-h put ofll a shoal With the usual dat-rig of out- ean, we boldly enter-ed the bay, and steer ed for its fohot with all sails set. We DnoW sighted a beautiful sniall hay', or mouth of a river, thiat extendedC~ to the eastward frotm the foot of a gulf. On the beach we spiedl a great muml titudo of wai-riors, hurrying along 3pith bundles of w~ar- imnplenments, and dlepositinig them in ca noes, whlickh they launched into the wa-:ter, and pIut off forim the vessel fromu variousi coves anid inlets. One war- ene, commanded by a ec'lebi-ated brave, was towel, by onme of our linecs, neat tho sterni.

The gun thundered over the water ; but the eleet was different from what he had expected. It was my ' trick' at the helm, and I was astonishiled to see the captainl fiail down beside mc, while his tele scope struck my leg violently, and sonething whizzed overhead ! The savage warrior in the canoe astern let go or the tow-line the instant lie heard the report of the cannon, and seizing his bow and arrow, let fly at the captain, who fortunately dodged a harbed arrow which was aimed at his heart. The canoes put off in great nun bers ; and the natives were so well armed and seemed so hostile, that we dleculed it safest to retrace 011 course and stan out to sea. Th' win fell away, but we crept slowly towards the mouth of the hay and again approached the war canoe commanded by the savage brave. He now showed signIs of friendship by holding ip two *cocoantits ; but the 'nstant hle caeic within sim of the captain, who stood ufpon the puiar. ter, he dropped his riuts and Suezed his arrow and bow, and, 1i0 a frightful scowl of defiance, was ab.)Ilt to twang it, wheII the captain level led his rifle and shot him lown.
