This speech of Willie's was a datnpei an our enthusiasm. We knew that he was thoroughly loyal to both of us, ant: ills advice was 011 that account wortl: consideration. We argued the mattei >ut, and in the end it was decided thai [ should continue on 1113* road to Cambridge, while the other two went back to wnitny.

If he succeeded, well nnd good; If not, he ivould still join me at York, and we would carry out our original plan of going to sea. Willie demurred to tbis, but In the ?nd be agreed to the compromise. Anf then we parted. lie gave me to wety -ouud my neck a charm which he bal brought from the Barbary coast, a etftaln preventive, he assured me, agalmt witchery of nil kinds. Then we st^od in the roud, joined hands and stkig three times the verse of Willie's lea song: \ Sail away, N, Hack away, Plunder! [Stamp with foot.] Gather all the valuablea you can, etc. And thus we parted. On the third day after this Alee join ed me at York and announced that his uncle, who was his guardian, had given him leave to accompany me. So tc Cambridge we went, and the DatemnJ S/iWWilce,"because, though Alec-made good use of his opportunities for ac quiring knowledge, 1 did nothing bui amuse myself in the town, with the re suit that by a prolonged course of riot lng and idleness made Clare Hall tc hot to hold me. 1 had not been in Cambridge tw months when the Inconvenient attei tlon of the university proctors made necessary for me to leavo hurrledl; and as I had to go Alec said he woul not stay either, so one night we fle with the proctors' men after us. V eluded them, however, by swimmli across the river and without gettli Into more than an average number scrapes on the road made our way London. Three days in this city si flced to exhaust our small stock money, and there was only one coui left open to us. Fortunately, It w the one we both most wished to f low. In a low roofed tavern parlor in Wi ping we entered Into conversation w a gnarled old shipmaster, whom found drinking strong ale with a to In it and crunching raw onions I though they were aromatic sw meats.
