Paul had nut so much to attend to as
ciae alight hae imagined. There were
but a few ruts, and even the.se were uot
f much moment He had only six men
upon hia lixt, and these be promised to
restore to duty in a few days. The old
gutner waa in a precarious situation,
and the surgeon assured him that it was
only by scrupulous care that be could
hop, to recover.
On the morning of the third day from
the engagement with the corvette, land
wav reported directly ahead, and in an
hour more other land was made out upon
the larboard bow and beam. At 10
o'clock a nu miter of small islands were
plainly distinguished, and before noon
the brig had ran in among them. After
thia, her course was laid more ta the
southward, and to one aot used to the
place it appeared aa though the tessel
was to be run on shore. But ere l i
a narrow inlet was opened, between
what proved to be the mainland and a
large island, and beyond there appeared
a wide bay. The track through this in
let waa a dubious one, far huge black
rocks lifted their beads above water on
every hand; but the brig was run safe
ly in, and waa then within a circular
lay tome tea miles in diameter. 1 't
the end waa not yet Toward tbe east
ern aide of this bay appeared to be e
sort of cape extending out some distance
fretn the mainland, but which proved,
tpoa approaching it, to be aa isl.mil
which stood at the mouth of a smaller
bay. . Around this Maud the brig made
her way, and ere long she was endured
at th( mouth of quite a respectable river.
Thie was Silver Bay, and the river
bora the name name. Its position was
tape the ewast of Japan, and same tiftv
or sixty miles distant from Nagasik-j.
It was a strange place in view of its
natural defenses, and seemed made for
she use to which it was sow put. Marl
Laroon had received it trotn an old free
booter who bad used it for many years,
and probably the preseut chieftain told
the troth when be aaid that it had be a
a piratical retreat for nearly two een
tsriee. "How long shall we lay here, cay

everything bad been put to rights.
"Perhaps a mouth. That last haul
from the corvette may give us a longer
resting spell than 1 had before calculat

stood near him, he suid: "Do you want
to go op with me this evening?"
The youth started, but if be felt any
atrong emotion lie quickly subdued t,

hesitation:
"I think If yos go up thia evening I

"Did you come here then?"
"No. His rendezvous waa then in
Manila. We remained there until I waa
tea years old. and then he took me to

an there. When I was fourteen he mov
ed his headquarters to this place, and
since then Mary has lived here. He and
the Malays have harried the seas ever
since."
Is thia girl of whom you speak a

"Oh, no," quickly' replied the youth.
"Did you ask Lsroon whom you used
to live with?"
"Yes, and he told me It was with
man named Delaoy."
"Then why did you aay yoa bad for

"Because I do not think that ia true."
For some "moments Burniugton was si
lent, but at length he Raid:
"Did you ever know any one whom
you called 'Uncle Stephen'?"
Paul started to hia feet and laid both
his hands upon hia companion's shoul
ders, and after gazing a few momenta
into his face he aaid:
"Speak that name again."
"Uncle Stephen."
"Ay, I remember it well. Now do I
know that that name has often prattled
over my bsybood'a tongue. But there ia
more. Stephen is but half the name."
"Humphrey," said Buffo, in a low
tone.
The youth sat back upon tlie gun car

"Why, or, why," he murmured, "have
I never been able to call these things

Burnington made no answer, but sat
with hia dark face hidden in bis great

and hia anxiety grew apace.
"You must knojv something of my

"1 know your countenance puts me

As aaoo ss the bust had fairly entered
the river, the scene became delightful
ia the extreme. The bed of the stream
seesued to be composed of white aand,
aai, it gave to the water that brilliant,
silvery appearaaca which had auggelrd
the name of the stream and tbe bay.
The banks were covered with aromatic
shrubs, and flowers of every sire and
hue were abundant. It was smid such
a scene that the boat waa pulled for a
distance of 6ve tnilee ere anything like
a humaa habitation was seen. But at

in the river, they came in sight of a
clump of buildings, most of which were
small, thatched rots; but upon one side,
where a rivulet flowed down to the river,
stood a large building of stone, seeming
to have been originally erected for a
place of refuse, for it waa surrounded
by a high wall with circular towers at
the angles, in which were numerous em
brasures for guns, though no guns were
at present to be seen.

She was silting by a window which
