Tho oaths of tbo parliea woro received, and my husband, broken in health and spirits, wounded in honor and utterly wretched, was condemned to trans¬ portation." "Yel you sharo my punishinonl nnd ex¬ ile," said Mr. Barlow with a poor attempt al a smile. "Yes 1 but thoso in power would have denied mij that comfort hnd T not impor¬ tuned them incessantly.

By Iho captain's or¬ ders nnd nt his own requost, the sufferer was brou.ght upon dock and laid upon a uialliess and roll of canvass near lho miin haloh. Ho seemed a moment revived by ^ho gontlo breeze that fanned his brow— but tho relief was transitory. His ap¬ pearaneo changed for tlio worse, and lio sank baok exhausted.
