New South \Valrs, one 0111.101], looking.r at the shipping, and. blowing‘ away the weary hours in a cloud of smoke from a inuch»lovcd old clay pipe, my at- tention was attracted by e. schooner of one hundch and thirty tons burtltcn, l\, ing at anchor MI in the stream. "here ms nothing wonderful about. her, either for build. or r' was incrcly a handâ€" some schooner; but the extreme, ncatncss of everythingr on board, from rail to truck, was cinincntly gratifying to thc cyc of a seaman. I was sitting,r on an old spar, landed on the quay from seine old vcssclJ with my back against a, mooring-post, when It man passed me, and, stopping on the edge of the quayhailcd the schooner : ‘ Adventure ahoy l’ ‘ Ay, :ty,’ was immediately responded ; then a man appeared in the waistdooking towards the shore. IIe waved his hand to the person who had boiled, and disap- peared; and in a few minutes a small boat containing two then pulled around the schooncr’s bow, from the further side, and headed for the boat landing near Where I sat. As the boat. approached, the stranger 0n the wharf stepped down from the sill, 0n Whicl he. had been standing, and moved toward the steps that. led down to the platform ; and lunch was I surprir d to recognize in the schooner’s captain (for such he was), an old friend of mine. on tho goldvficlds of Australia, named Graham. ‘ IIalloo 1 Graham,7 said I; ‘hew are you, old fellow ?

In conversation with Graham and the mate I discovered that ‘ trzidc’ not only meant the exchange of one kind of .goods for another, but \‘:18 applied to the goods exchanged; and that. the ‘trttdc' tulliCll out to exchange for satinl'tvood and cocoa,» nut oil consisted principally of grimly calico. brillizintlvcolored glass bonds, to- li'l<f(‘fl, rum and cutlery, the last bcincr the very ticnnesr and cheapest it. was possible to procure, niztdo to order, in fact. :inl other fll‘tit‘lJS‘ but li‘lle. better.

King's Mills , so when Graham, at Stkppcrtimc, breached the subject of my accompanying him on his trip, I replied : ‘ Well, Graltznn, I don’t know but vhat I'll go ; I should like. to see som :- thing" of those Pacidc Islands; but don’t. ng‘ mi we neared the share the natives tirade signs to us where to l:md. \Vbe" within about two hundred yards of the beach, the skipper quietly remarked, half to himscll'and half to the natives : ‘ No you don’t, not if I know anything about it.’ And just as, be quietly gave the orders to as, ‘IIold water, your port 0111's, pull round, starboard,’ at; the some long steering-oar, till hcr hem] lay to seaward. I was sotncwlrtt surprised at this 1novcmcnt,for we could see several pretty good piles of what I was assured was sandal-wood, near the beach. ‘ \Vhat's the muttcr '3' I asked; ain't you going to land and got the sandztl~ wood?’ I ' ‘ Land be d~â€"d 1 no,’ was the answer; ‘but We’ll get the wood, ncvcr fctir.â€" Don’t you see how shoal the water is here? Well, we should have to beach the boat, which isn't tospel iii this trade, nohow, unless you are inclined to be made soup of. These blttck inipe have picked the place out a purpose, mod. likely; but they’ll bring this wood to the place 1 pick out, sic it" they don’t.7 As we pulled out of the cove and along- shore, the. natives screamed and male motions for its to return, holding up pieces of the wood, to show that. they were ready and willing; to trade, but. Graham took no notice 01' thcni. “It: kept on until we found a spot where the water was several fatlionts deep close. in to the. shore. which suited Graham's ltIt‘jlh‘ exactly.

Noth- ing: worth noting?r occurred until We reached the Island. Herc Graham found two of his interpreters of the previous trip, and took them on board; and an- other tmllVC,tt chief of some kind orother among a tribe on one oi the King’s Mills Group, also got a pn.-‘3‘igc down to his native. island with us. This chief, or pati‘iarcn, or whatever he was, was well known to Graham, who had purchased sandalwood of him on his previous trip; and we were all particularly careful not to annoy him 0n the pit go down from Tantra, as he. gave us to understand that. ho had as much sandalwood as would lead the schooner, and we wanted it, of course. Iaptain Graham know the character of the. natives, and told us that probably the old chief had not more than a few boat. loads, at. most, which he magnified much to make himself 01' cousctpicncc among us; and this proved to be. the case. ' He. had four bout loads, each carâ€" ryinlcr about. halt a ton; and that. we. bought for two or three knives and about. six yards of calico. with a. pound of to- bacco and a handful of binds thrown in.

Directith the. interpreter to inquire of old Daisy regarding the welfare. of his obese spouse, that worthy coolly replied that she had gone ; voluntarily adding, by way oi explanation. that she had got so fat; as to be unfit for work, ‘so he clubbed her and ate her up 1’ This was :l new plan of utilizing a wife to me, and l vowed that. old Daisy should not. have one 01' our four glasses to drink his whis- key out. of, for I'd never drink after him ; but Graham and the other men had a. good lzlutl‘ll at the circumstance.
