CHAPTER XXVIII. Arter toiling a rugged and steep ascent,

which the island seemed to be formed, \forciag his way over fallen trees and through the tangled undergrowth of

species of wild vine, which abounded on

stiff leaves of the bayonet plant rendered | caution necessary in walking. At moments, through the dense foliage, he caught a glisten of the sea, north behind him, and by this alone he guided his road due southerly and upward. Once only he found a small cleared space about an acre in extent, and here it was he uttered the cry Helen heard. He wait- ed a few moments in the hope to hear her voice in reply, but it did net reach him. Again he plusged upward, and now the ascent became so arduous that more than once he almost resolved to relinquish, or, at least to defer his task; but a moment's rest recalied him to himself, and he was not one easily baffled by difficulty or Jabor, so he toiled on uutil he judged the summit eught to have beenreached. After pausing to take breath and counsel, he fancied that he had gone too much to the left, the ground to his right appeared to rise more than the path that he was _ pur- suing, which had become level, and he con- cluded that, instead of ascending, he was circling the mouatain-top. .He turned aside, therefore, and after ten minutes’ hard climbing he was pushing through a thick and high scrub, when the earth seemed to give way beneath him, and he fell—into an abyss.

He was ingulfed. He fell from bush to bush—down— down—scratch—rip— plump! until he lodged ina prickly bush, more wounded than hurt. Out of this he crawled, only to discover himself thus land- ed in a great and perfectly circular plain of about thirty acres in extent, or about three hundred and fifty yards in diameter. In the centre was a lake, also circalar. The broad belt of shore around this lake was covered with rich grass, level as a bowling green, and all this again was surrounded by a nearly perpendicular cliff, down which indeed he had fallen; this cliff was thickly clothed with shrubs and trees.

Hazel recognized the crator of an extinct volcano.

On examining the lake he found the waters impregnated with volcanic products. Its bottom was formed ef asphaltum. Hav- ing made a circuit of the shores, he per- ceived on the westerly side—that next the island—a break in the cliff; and, on a narrow examination, he discovered an out- let. It appeared to him that the lake at one time had emptied its waters through this ancient water-course. The descent ere was not only gradual, but the old river ed was tolerably free from obstructions, especially of the vegetable kind:

He made his way rapidly downward, and in half an hour reached marshy ground. The canebrake now lay before him. On his left he saw the sea on the south, about athird of a mile. He knew that tothe right must be the sea on the north, about half a mile or so. He bent his was thither. The edge of the swamp was very clear, and though somewhat spongy, afforded good walking unimpeded. As he approached the spot where he judged the boat to be, the underwood thickened, the trees again inter- laced their arms, and he had to struggle through the foliage. At length he struck the smaller lagoon, and as he was not cer- tain whether it was fordable, he followed its course to the shore, where he had pre- viously crossed. In a few moments he reached the boat, and was pleased to find her afloat. The rising tide had even moved her a few feet back into the canal. Hazel zhouted to apprise Miss Rolleston of his return, and then proceeded to restore the mast to its place, and replace the rig- ging and the oars. This occupied some little time. He felt surprised that she had not appeared. He shouted again. No

reply.

os

CHAPTER XXIX. Haze advanced hurriedly into the grove, which he hunted thoroughly, but without effect. He satisfied himself that she could not have quitted the spot, since the marsh incloged it on one side, the canals on the second and third, and the sea on the fourth. ; He returned to the boat, more surprised than anxious. He waited awhile, and again shouted her name—stupped—listened—-no answer. / Yet sarely Helen could not have been more than a hundred yards from where he stood. His heart beat with a strange seise of apprehension. He heard nothing but the rustling of the foliage and the sop of the waves on the shore, as the tide crept up the shingle. As his eyes roved in every direc- tion, he caught sight of something white near the foot of a withered cypress tree, not fifty yards from where he stood. quickly recognized a portion of H dress.

Then stooping, in his arms, and carried her to the boat, where he laid her still unresisting and incapable.

With trembling limbs and weak hands, he launched the cutter, and they were once more afloat and bound homeward.

He dipped the baler into the fresh water he had brought with him for their daily supply, and dashed it on her forehead. This he repeated until he perceived her breathing became less painful and more rapid. Then he raised her a little, and her head rested upon his arm. When they reached the entrance of the bay he was obliged to pass it, for, the wind being still southerly, he covld not enter by the north gate, Lut came around and ran in by the western passage, the same by which they had left the same morning.

Again he raised her in his arms and bore her to the hut. Here he laid her down on her bed, and stood for a moment beside her, unable to restrain his tears.
