CUAl-IEB I^EARLY IIISTOIIV CV THK FISMERV.
Upon tho shores Of asmall strait which sep-
remains of litis
arates the fine island of Saint Catharine from tlio adjacent continent of South America, was to be found, in former days, the Ittrpest (ishing station in the worhl. As the island lies direct¬ ly in the track of uur California ships, it is probable thai the adventurer lo the land of gold* as he siretciies Iiis sea-legs upon the beach of San Miguel, often pauses to coniemplaie ihe vast vaults and moulderin; once gigantic establishment.
But bcforg. entering upon a description of these great works, ilis necessary to give a sliort accounl of the early history of this Captaincy; thtJ smalleai and last settled on lho coast.
As iale as the year 165-1, more than a centu¬ ry and a half after the discovery of the conti¬ nent, lhe island of Dos Puto.^, as it was then called, still remained in ils. primitivo state. The town of the tribe, wiib iis regular slreets and comfortable dwellings, iis jiathes, of maii- dioca and maize, and its ample Council-House, still stood untouched on a wooden point of the isle ; the savage still hunied in the evergreen forests, which covered its hills -and vates, Oj- paddled the bark canoe, in search of his scaly prey, in the little sandy coves and salt-water creeks which indent the shores of the strait.— The lown was larger than might be supposed, and protected from assault by a ring of deep pitfalls, so artfully concealed as only to he dis¬ tinguished from the safe ground by certain marks bnown to its own diMii7;ens. It was also surrounded byia palisade-wall cf pointed stakes, baving strong wooden gates, wbich were regu¬ larly closed and guarded at nighi. Tho Bra- zillian tribes, anthropophagi for tlie moat part^ Were engaged in incessant wars wilh each oth¬ er, rendering these primeval defences absolute¬ ly indispensable to the safely of their aettle- meuts, which were often attacked and defend¬ ed with tlic most inveterate fury, and, if un¬ happily stormed, endured all ihe extremities of fire and sword from thc hands of the wild vic¬ tors.
Though lhe island was.al this period claimed by Spain, and often visited by her eaiavelas on their tedious nnd ill-conducted voyages to the La Plata, from various canses no permanent settlement was made. The slave-hunting ex¬ peditions of ilie Certanisias' of San Paulo, were almost invariably directed towards the vast, unexplored regions of the interior, and the auriferous streams nf thc Serra da Santa Catharina sunk into insignificence beside the astonishing wealth of the Mineas Geraes. In the year referred to, the King of Portugal; whom the island belonged by rightof discove¬ ry, mado a grant of it, under conditions insur¬ ing its settlement, to an adventurous nobleman of his court. But this distinguished settler, immediately upon his arrival in iho channel, was slain on the deck uf his own caravela by the captain of a piratical bark, which then in¬ fested the adjacent seas. His colony returned home, or became dispersed among the neigh¬ boring settlements, and so nmny years after, wards no further attt-nlion was atiracied to the place. The advances of the Padres de Com- I'anhia, as ihe Jesuit fathers wore called in Brazil, were hut ill-received by the Indian chiefs of Dos Patos, and, ihougii succeeding years witnessed many arrivals, andsome blood- slied and misery on the island, it was not until after the beginning of the eighteenth century that white settlers were found permanenily lo¬ cated on the coast.
About the year 1712, the French carried on a considerablo trado to the Spanish possessions in the South Seas, and were much in the habit cf sailing into Uie strait for supplies. The northern part—for ii was divided into two great bays of nearly equal leugth, by an approxima¬ tion of lwo opposite points—was sheltered by the highlands on al! sides, nnd entirely free from obsiruciions, wiih a boiiom of hard sand gradually shoaling, forming one of the most secure and convenient anchorages in the world- The French voyagers resorted hither in prefer¬ ence to the southern bay, which was less spa- cioua and secure, being open to the surge which sets heavily in from the sea when the wind is strong from the south. Wood and water were abundant, and easily procured, though more trouble was experienced in obtaining' a few bullocks from the herds of black cattle, which were even to be found roaming at large on the marshes of the main.
In the published journal of one of these trad¬ ers—the same who made the first correct sur. vey of the island—it is stated that a numberof Portuguese outlaws, fugitives fromthe adjoin¬ ing seiilemenis, had established themselves at several points on the channel. This band of very questionable settlers would seem to have rapidly increased. The exercise of ty?bnnical power by tbe royal Captains in Brazil was very great. The Viceroy, who had his court, with the insigna of royality, at Rio de Janeiro, main¬ tained discretionary supervision over these military chieftains ; the Camara, or council; which nominally represented the people, was associated with the governor in the administra, tion of each captaincy ; nevertheless, each rul¬ er managed to act pretty much as he pleased within his own precincts. So much v/as this the case, that, upon the occasion of some dis¬ putes between the Camara and the Governor of one of the northern captaincies, the Crown had distinctly intimated that the power of the officer, appointed by itself, was to be consider¬ ed, in every future instance, snperior to that Of the representatives whom he had chosen from the people. Such being the case, the salubrity of the climate tind the prodigal fertility of the soil of Dos Pafos ofiered strong inducements to any unhappy beings who were desirous of es¬ caping from the frowns of these petty poten- tales, lotlie immunities of savage life.
The refuser? speetlily became involved in ir¬ regular conflicts with the natives, a simple, yet inquisitive people, who, upon former occasions, had become -io captivated by lho Spanish chive airy as  to follow the cavaliers on   lheir long marches from the mainland, through sava-^e wilds iDfested by hostile tribes, to the Christian settlements in the somh.   Tdo aboriginal nam- ofthis  secluded recess of o,e  sea, which  the Indian was at length destined to lose was Ju- ru-Mirim, or tho Little  Momb, in allusion to the narrow passago wbich connected the two great divisions of the strait.   It was here the Indians were generally firat seen by voyagers crossing tho wild ferry from shore to  shore, or spearing fish   in the. little  sandy  coves which form so frequent a feature of thecost.   Fromi theso haunts they were now driven by the out¬ law;— from sandy nook, and forest-town, back' to the woodward mountains of tha continent. Aa the number of their foe increased, and they became able to exchange skins and provisions for tbe firearms of iho French, the savage was followed acrosa the slrait; and whan a body of excellent settlers, who had been sent hither by the government of the Western Isle of Ihe At¬ lantic, arrived, these tangled and 'gloomy soli¬ tudes Were still occaaionaUy disturbed, at his ahriU and vengeful htira replied from afar to the hoarse shout of the bandit. The tigers were numerous and tronblesome .at this period, occu- pying the attention of the settlers equally with th9 wild men of the mountains ; but a number of large dogs mtroduced from San Panlo, and suffered to breed onthe island, proved excel- Jent auxiliaries in eiiher species of combat For nearlj thirty years after the date ofthe
•, Tbeso were the leaders of the expeditionB which iwnetrated into .the ^ unjxplored regions
continued at Samt Catharine- Foreign traders still touched there, to recruit, bartering various necessary commodities ht fresh provisions; for, money was invariably refused, being, in fact, in as little esteem here, as the glittering lump of gold to De Foe's hero in goat-skiu. This species of trade would appear to havebeen ain- icably conductt-'d, and the ragamuffin merchants to Imve enjoyed, to the last, the entire confi¬ dence of lbe seamen-
But when Commodore Anson, of Souih Sea notoriety, visited the island in 1740, the state of iliiiiga were entirely changed. The res- trainii of a legal government bad at length been established. The halcyon days of the honest oHiJaw tvere over, and though he had not been driven, in turn, lo thc Serra. he haii been forced by the new stato of thing" to legitimate labour. The old, bare¬ legged, democratic governor, had been displa¬ ced by a brigadier-general, of the armies of tho crown ; fortalices were rising, huts disaj; pearing, emigrants pouring in, priests and soldiers already parading the streets of thc new town, dress coats and rapJers in vogue, nnd ti- ger-sl;in drawers in the shadow. The social poliiy had been overthrown, money was begin ning to assert its omnipotent sway, and the corse entailed upon Adam was felt in the rag¬ ged Eden of Saint Catharine.
The boundaries of the new captaincy were now established—extending beiween the Sahy Granilo, flowing between it and tho province of San Paulo on the norih,^and the Mampitubaj separating il from that of the Rio Grande do Sul on lhe south. Its extent of seaboard is sixty leagues, lying between the 25th and 29lh degrees of south latitude. The heads of tbe Cordileras mark the divisions from the same provinces on the west.
Mt-n of respectability continued to remove 10 tho new captaincy from different parts of tho country, and bodies of frugal and industri ous farmers from the Azores to settle on the island, or upon the more eligible spots of the mainland. Gradually, the industry of the set¬ tlers, seconded by the labors of a few alaves a difl'erent aspect to these fortunate shores. The virgin woods of the island began Itsappear. Fields of mandioca and cane, will) patches of cofi'ee and cotton, covered the less elevated grounds; herds of tame cattle darkened the extensive pastures of the plain; and the casaf of tho proprietor, humble, indeed, yet superior to the hut of t'ae old set tier, was generally to be seen on lhe brow of a gentle hill, with its little possessions around it, or down on the greener bank by the sands of the bny, where the wash of the waves was the cradle-song of his child, and the fish swam by bis door
Some years afterwards, when the town, buill upon the shore of a small bay which washes the insular side of tbe narrow passage, was rising into importance as the capital of the province, the attention of the Portuguese government be¬ came directed to the immense number of whales which frequented these seas, a few of which had been taken, from time to time, even in the days of the outlaws- A company was formed at Lisbon, to which the minister; pursuance of thc policy of the times, farmed the coast. As the success of the scheme was certain, and the revenue from tha mines was continually declining, a heavy outlet was im¬ mediately made, and the works, afier many months of unremitted toil, wero erected on small bay on the mainland, not far from the northern entrance of the strait,
This site was fortunately chosen, even for a channel abounding in natural havens. Thi low, locUy point of Armacao. trending towards the island, forms here a natural breakwater to the little landlocked bay, where, in calm weather, thc waters are as smooth aa a mill- pond. The flood-tide rolling in the great chan¬ nel before a strong sea-breeze breaks heavily on the leoward shore, and meeting in the nar¬ row passage the counter waves from the south, occasions an irregular, tumultuous sea, through which it is extremely difHcult to steer a boat. But within the bounds of the bay lhe sea is never greatly disturbed, even in tho roughest weatlier. Here then, close to the beach, tho try-works were erected. These consisted of a number of long, walled sheds, containing each from twenty to thirty long boilers, with their  furnaces—eacb  shed  extendmg  to   the
and line.   Occasionally, they weric out as far
as the two islets which lie off" the northern en¬ trance of the   strait; though, ganerally, tbe
malignant and wandering spirit of evil. Hia body was light, end well proportioned ; but the face was so Bmall as to approach deformity;
whales wero killed at distances more conveni-t tbe eyes minute and.piercing as those of a co-
strand, where strong piers, built of the heavy, durable pao doferro, of the country, projected into water from two to three fathoms in depth. Upon these great piers were placed enormous capstans, wiih their heavy tacklingg, for secu¬ ring, heaving np, and turning the dead whale during the process of « flinching;' wbile upon the point itself, excavated in thesoUd rock, and defended from the rains by huge roofs covered with semitnblar tiles, were the immenso tanks where the oil was stored. In the largest of the vaults, a whale-boat might bo lurned with ease.
The boatsheds were built upon the tight of the warehouses. They contained from six to twelve boats, witb their gear, always ready for service. The smithies, and the huts of the ne¬ gro slaves employed on'the station, were loca¬ ted in the rear of the works; the houses of the harpooners behind these, and upon the back- grounJ, on an eminence, the ca::a and the gar¬ dens of thc Company's factor, where he lived in a style little inferior to that of the Captain General.
The bahena mysticetus, or right whale, was the chief objectof the fishery. Humpbackst were sometimes taken early in tho season, which last¬ ed from December lo June. Tho spermaceti whale was occasionally captured off "Ponta Grossa, the northern extremity of the island, and even in the strait; ihough this species pre¬ fers seeking its food in dtsp water. Finbacks, or rorquals, overran the coast, and were suppo¬ sed to drive the other whales from the ground. On accounl of their great speed and their un¬ productiveness, these were allowed to roam the seas undisturbed-
For many years after the Company was es¬ tablished, the number of whales taken was very great, averaging at least a whale each day daring the season, not excepv'ng the days of Romish festivity, when the men did not work. As the Company increased in wealth and pow¬ er, those employed at ibo works enjoyed cer¬ tain tacit immunities, to wbich tbe rest of the populalion were strangers. They were exemp¬ ted from military duty, and from the liability to be laken from their occupaiion at tbe caprice of the governor. Their disputes were rofera ble to the agent alone, and unless aome serious crime had been commiited, tho officers of his excellency were seldom seen on official busi¬ noss al Armacao. The harpooners were men of importance in their line, receiving high wa¬ ges, and assuming a style of dress and demean¬ or well calculated to maintain iheir preten¬ sions. They hsartily despised the aoldiers, and, at the time referred to, were at feud with the Governor's gurfrds, and the people of his household. With tho rojt of the population they were great favorites, especially with the shopkeepors of the town. To the wild hords- men of the plains they were objects of curious mit-rest, whenever the former had occasion to jseek the town nnd lho contiguous sbore of lhe I 3irait.

The Company's agent, who enjoyed- the rank of CaptaJn-Mor or Captor-Major, was ex¬ clusively occupied with the duties of his sta¬ tion. Being upon good terms with the Govei-- nor ho beheld with undisguised concern, the feelings of mutual aversion which existed be-r tween his men nnd tho military. It was of course, to bis interest andjhat of the Company to avoid all difficultieB of this nature, and ac¬ cordingly, as far as he could, he kept bis men closely occopied atthe Armacao. This was tho more necessary, as tho martial law had been in force for somo ilme, in consequence of a rumor prevalent on the coast, that Don Pe¬ dro Cevallo3,the celebrated Spanish captain, was fitting ont an armament in the port of Ca¬ diz for the reduction of Saint Catharine.
The yield of oil at that period was very reat, as many as five hundred whales having been killed in a season. Towards the close of the century, tbe works began to decline: in 180S they did not average a wbale a fortnight; and, at the present day, a cargo of oil for a four-boat ship cannot-be collected in two sea¬ sons on the Brazil Coast.
Intho next chapter,! will givea short ac¬ count of a disaster which attended the opening of the works in 1777, and was long remember¬ ed in the country.
CIIAPTEa II.—DISASTERS OF THE CHABE.
It was early on a clear, breezy morning, in N'ovember, that abarpooner, named Louis De- bolt, a German by birth, and popularly known
thc Captaincy by the soubriquet of Gallo do Serre, or Cock of the Rock, in company with anoiher, a Portuguese, was superintending some piece of work at the Armacao, when a black slave, who was relaying the tiles on the roof of lhe warehouse, snddenly called out that he aaw whalespouts in the strait.
Dtai'! whereaway, Doming'7 said Louis. Here, senhor,' answered the slave, standing up on the crest of the rocf, ani pointing in the direction of the little Isle of Parrots, which lay northeast from the works, ofT the insular shore. The channel here is about three milea wide, and.the waves of this broad expanse were then running seaward, under the influence of a mountain breeze, which was sufficiently strong to cap their heads with foam,
I saw the sharks coming in from the sea last evening,' said Antonie, the Portgueacjas he looked from beneath his sombrero, in the direc¬ tion indicated ; * but these are bumpers, or fin- ners, of sulphur-bottoms.'
' Si ." said Louis, * very likely. To the devil with them ? But is that,' continued he, shading his eyes from the beams of the morning sun,' is that a whale-spout closo to the citadel, or a gull rising with a fish ?*
* It is neither, senhor,' replied Antonie, who from his posiiion commanded a better view of the straii. * It is that flho do diaho, Henrique Diaz, with the young Conde de Tavorfl, run¬ ning down the strait with a free sheet.'
•Ha!' exclaimed thc Cock of the Rock, dropping the coil of rope he was inspecting and taking the spyglass from  his companion
* it is the Condo, certametite. It is long since we saw Julian de Tavora at the Armacao.— Men say that he seldom stirs from the Palace.'
* The Conde is welcome," said Anionic, to whom the terrible story of the misfortunes of the house of Tavora was well known : *I have seen his lordahip plant a harpoon in a whale'g hump, and cast a lasso over s bull's,horns with judgment. For that child of the devil, Hen¬ rique Diaz, water will never drown the rascal¬ ly heathen, nor agtia ardetite do Eheino* eith¬ er.    He will live to kick a subtler element.'
* And that,'   said   Louis, uncoiling   bis line,
* that is nir. Nevertheless, the :mp has his uses, as iho Sargento Morf knows fuli wall*— He can swim like a duck, and manage a canoe as well as the Conde himself. No state-min¬ ister understands the Spanish saying, i?t m«K- tira,y saCaras verdad,\ better than Henrique.'
'Sl!' aaid Antonie, as be liegurely betook himself 10 the new raat ho was making for his rowlock, 'ho is an ill-begotten, malignant wretch, whom I purpose one day to throw into a boiler, for the stab in tbe dark he gave my eompadre. I heard that he was caterwauling, with his guiiar in somebody's gutter, in the town, last Sunday eve. By the mass ! if tho rockei-maker bad heard him, his excellency might have sent to the devil for a new page in the momiog ; unless, in sooth, bis black skin is proof against buzzard-shot.'
Sil tbey are a pair,' said Louis. ' Mal- donado da Jiboia and Henrique Diaz,—a pair for an bonest man lo shun as be would a boa or cobra. But iell mc, Senhor Antonie, when is young Julian to marry the Senhora Isabelle. It is said that the license is coming by the nexi ship from Lisbon.'
' It may be, Senhor Louis,' answered the Portuguese in a low tone ; * but I fear the min¬ ister will never consent that the last male heir of the hated housa of Tavora shall wed the Donna Isabelle de Mendonca.'
*Ah!' exclaimed Louis, in a similar tone, (the tiger may forget the taste of blood, or the sharks tbeir coming feast in the channel; but wben did the great Marquis forgive an enemy? They say tbat, in the dungeons of yonder cita¬ del, a prisoner has languished formanyyears his only ofi^ence being a refusal to pronounce a false senience of judgment upon the Jesuits.' The Portuguese cast a glanco uround the cracked and sooty walls of the Armacao, be¬ fore he replied in a still more cautious tone.
'Itis Jose Mascarcnhas Pacheo,' he said) 'oneof the three commissioners sent outby Pompal to sit in inquiry upon the fathers of tho Company. On the passage ont, the ship was chased by a fiery meteor, which burst over their heads with an infernal explosion.— A heavy squall followed, and the three worthy judges, Ihinking their time had como, immedi. atefy confessed their sins; among the rest, their secret instructions to condemn tha Jesuits.— After the weather cleared, canes redibant ad vofttitum, as Father Djnaz would say-all, ex- ceptJose, who struck to his penitent resolu. tions, and exposed his colleagues. For this, Senhor Loui,, he was confined, first at Rio and aflerwards in the cit idel des Roanes. For sixteen years, he has not seen the sun.-Tbe canoe is heading up for the pier. In less than it!n minutes they will be here.'
Julian de Tavorn, tl.c subject of tho har- pooner's last remark, xvas the only male survi- vor of the proud family which the Marquis de Pompal, the inflexible minister of Joseph the First, had destroyed. He was not in reality, entitled to the rank which, by courtesy, he held at Sain, Catharine. At the court of the Vic- eroy, be was the Senhor Julian de Tavora, ihe family tiila having been oxtinguished by lbe kmg'a decree, wiib the fires which consumed the gliasily remains of his parents and kins- men in the public square of Lisbon. All Eu¬ rope had rung with their terrible fate. Th. stern minister atone was unmoved. The king's life had been attempted, and it waa necessary that tho puniahment should be commensurate
witb the extent and ornormity of the crime	
Nearly every nember of the conspirator's fan ily bad been executed or immured in dungeons, and the boy was sent out to tho colonies, where a silent, but sleepless walch, was kept on his every movement. The misfortunes of his house procured him universal sympathy, from which noihing in his appearance and character was calcnlated to detract. He waa handsome, high spirited, and liberal to extravagance of the remains of his patrimony^ excelled in all the dangerous sporis of the island, andf with his own hands, in expeditions to the Serra, had stain three Indians, and nine tigers.     Thi
bra. - He ever went gaily atiired, wiih a cru zado in his purse, and, as far as service wenl, appeared much attached to the young Count;
Thay beached .the-canoe cloao to tbespot where the harpoonera'^were standing, and strik¬ ing her masts, hauled her up on the sand.— The Count passed on, to the factor's bouse, with a slight saintation ; while tho'dwarf halt¬ ed close 10 the men of the Armacao, who look¬ ed coldly upon him- Nothing daunted, hc seated hia minikin body on the gunwale of An- tonie'a boat, and, taking of his velvet cap, glanced quietly round the works, as if taking note of the extent of preparation. A bearded monkey, chained to a ring round the slem of a dead palm, ascending to his house, in great haste, uttering deprecating cries, and lugging hia chain with him: a.,dog, amelJing round a heap of scraps or burnt bitibber, bristled his back, and ctepr, with a drooping tail, to the sideof Antonie. Still there was something in his appearance in keeping with tbe scene— with the long, ragged, smoke-dried walls, the rude, clumsy machines, and the vast, sloping roofs with their immense caves
* What news at the Palace, devil-page V said the Cock of the Rock, after enduring his pres¬ ence in silence, for aome minutes.
* Nada, Senhor,' answered the page shortly.
* Nothing !' repealed the harpooner, in a tone of affected aurprise. * Why it is said— intende vos -'—that you had fallen in lovo with 'he Conde's  Paroguay ape, and  had a taste of
hs strappailo for ber teaching her to drink Lis¬ bon brandy. Moreover, you are not to'go into the gardena without tbe mask you woro last Sunday night, on yonr serenade. The roses caunot endure your illuatrious presence. San¬ ta ATaria .' lho tulips and passion-flowers are dying of envy,*
The page ground his teeth, and scowled gloomily at the speaker, when a tile fell from tbe roof on the sand at his feet, and, with a piercing glance of his snaky eyes, he laid his ebony band on bts dagger.
The harpooners glanced significantly at each other, aud Louis continued his banter.
' It is the Conde's wish—intende vossa mer- ced—if we can manage to catch a live heron before L^nt begins, to lead off" the Intrudes'^ with a sort of classical combat, thc bird repre senting the ancient famiiy of the cranes, and y.our.highness. Prince Cara de AIono,\ thatof the pigmies. It is thought that your highness's exploits against the anthills have procured this distinguished honour. Sturm veiter.' you must fighi like a man, though; for, the heron wings will be clipped.'
The page touched tbe plume in his cap with a sort of grace, smiling after his gloomy and malignant fashion
' There may be a hawk on your heron,' he said, in his smnll, shrill tones, 'before that day comes, in spite of your red cheek, your curling brown hair, and yonr foreign blue eyes.' 'By San Christavao ! the imp says well.' said Louia, aside to Anionic, * but the hawk he speaks of will not ily thts'^season. We havo certain news that the Spaniard haa fore¬ gone his expedition. The old Admiral, Casa- Tilly, has quarrelled with Doo Petlro about a question of precedence—tho colour of a rib¬ bon—the mounting of a medallion—or some¬ thing of that sort.. As for the blue eyes,' said the comely German, reddening slightly, ' what says the song of meti menina~~-
'' Olhos pardos e negros
Sao as ccmmues; Mais 03 do minbo amante Deoa fez azues.' ' *5i.'' said Antonie, while a blithe smile il¬ lumined his olive cheek—
*' Cacavalla for its wine .' • And Santarem for corn !
' But look I Viva nesro, Dominea ! Yon¬ der are a school of sperm whales, as I live, cruising in the strait!—one—iwo—three—a dozen spouts at leaat!'
* Der tevfsll away with you, Domingo!' ahouted Louis, while his handaome, aunbuint face fiushed wilh lhe love of his profession.— 'Cull the men, and we will launch the boats before they head lo seaward again.    Presto I
Both harpooners flew to the boathouse, but Antonie's boat being nearest the water, he was enabled to launch and man her a moment before tbe German. The latter had the .factor himself to steer him, lbe Count at the tub, and the black page at hia after-oar. Domingo and a mestico, called Manuel pulled his mid¬ ship and forward oars. He was not far behind the Portuguese, whoso boat manned with alaves, kept its start. As tho alarm was now given, before the two reached mid-channel, several other boats had pushed ofi' to intercept the whales on their return, as it was supposed that the school would not pass through the narrow passage into the great souihern bay.
Tbo two headmost boats steered steadily in the wake ofihe whales. Tbe latter moved alowly on their courae, the flankers diverging occasionally to either board, the centre whales going straight up tba channel, while the white spray of iheir spouts glittered in the sun, as it drifted for an inatant on the morning air. Tbe breeze was deliciously cool and fragrant; a few white sails dotted the watera of the strait, and  fleecy  clouds, which  all night  long had
styled Iho implement, dead on to .ihe life of a hilndred-barrel whale. He cast a glanie to windward, and holding his palm in the direc¬ tion of the breeze, answered the clerk's sug¬ gestion :

In tha; time,' aaid the clerk, panting at his  cutting-spades.    A priest who   lived in   thc
steering-oar, 'be will be half-way to Garoupas. Shoot a lance in his lungs, in Our Lady'a name, or ho wilt run us to Santos.'
Tbo harpooner made no reply; but, with the help of the bowman, proceeded to level the gun, and arrange the lance f«>r immediato use, as soon as an opportunity offered. Perfecisilence was soon preserved ; the blacks titling still on their aeata, with their oars peaked, and the whites anxiously watching the whale. The breeze soon failed altogelher, ns the harpooner had predicted ; arid, as the water grew smooth, the line stretched less tensely on the bow. The whale also yawed more in his course which was a snre sign Ihat he was growing tired of his run, and thinking, perhaps, of his mates ; for there is a mint oi good, bonest sympathy in a school of young bulls. If a phrenologist conld lay hia hand on their bumps, he would pro¬ nounce them an amiable race, with large organs of socialneas. They cannotdance the polka, it is true, or empty a dozen baskets at a sitting ; nevertheless, if the depihs of theold ocean could speak again with the tongue of Shakspeare, the pranks of many a fnt Jack migbt begiven tothe public. The coral cavea are their taverns; the springs of the deep their champagne; and the squid-fish their oyster-sauce and venison. But, to proceed ; for o,ir boat's crew are in a peril. As he seemed inclined to rest, they paddled cau¬ tiously pnst his formidable flukes, gathering in the 3lack-Ii.ic as they went, until they obtained a position close to bis starboard hand,—the bright head of the lance pointing right on to the edge of his sitlc-fiu. His dull grey eye turned apprehensively on thein, in its rough setting of black skin, as he rolled uneasily in the sea ; and seeing that no time was to be lost, the harpoon¬ er bent over the light piece, and quickly appli¬ ed the match, which be bad previously prepar¬ ed. The flash and the report were instantly succeeded by the convulsive plunge of the fish, and when thc smoko and the cloud of spray cleared away, the line was smoking in the bow, and, where the whale had been, nought was to be seen save a greenish vortex of ioo.unng water.
^Donner utidblitzen '. aa Louia would aay,' exclaimed the Portuguese, coolly, aa be tended the line: * he has it! A stone wall could not stop ' Little Thunder,* much less a foot of blub¬ ber. He cannot stay long'under with that hole in his life. If Doctor Matasanos was here, he would tell you, Senhor Jose, that, the ateria pulmonaria was cut tbrough the middle. I wiah the fellow would he thoughtful enough to tow us back where he brought us from, while his breaih lasts. He'll go in eziremis present¬ ly, which, as I take it, Senhor, is Latin for— Look out! he is rising on the larboard beara-— Slue her head to meet him. There goes blood and brine first, and clear claret next ! By the soul of a cat, it is atl up with hira !'
* Nao, senhor I He will show fight yet, said the clerk, 'The life is not knocked out of a forty-barrel bull so easily.'
' I'll wager a chain of gold against the emer¬ ald on yonr finger, that I turn him up with lhe firat dart,'said Antonie.
* Good! Done !' aaid the clerk,' and ihe slaves shall bo witnessea. He is as sick as a monk in a storm, already. There goes bis breakfast! Blessed Lady ! his last meal was a full one.
The harpooner laughed, as ho eyed tho large pieces of squid and great clots of gore, whicli floated past; then clearing away a second lancCj he made sign to the clerk to ' lay liim on.'
'Row ! give way, boys ! Lel the Senlior An¬ tonie bave a fair obance.*^   *
Tlie slaves joyfully obeyed,and tha bow of the boat was laid on to thu raoiisier's fln.
' So ! Lie on your oars !' said tlie harpooner, poising his lauce. Ifc waa in the act of dait- ing when suddenly un immense shoal of white porpoises appeared, ahead aud astern, breaching and careering ovet the waves in long flies, until the sea around tho boat was aa troubled as the aurf upon a sunken reef. They ran up thc Irack of blood like a pack of hounds in full ety, leaping over nnd uponthe back of ihe dying whale, and surrounding ilic boat in such pro¬ digious numbers, that tlie harpooner, in some alarm, turned liis lance against them. Hu dart¬ ed it through tho body ofthe nearest, with the expectation that lhe wbolo shoal would pursue the ono he had wounded, as is the cnstom of those fish. But, unfortunately, the individual seltled, in its agony, leaped directly into ihe stern of tlic boat, and wos of course, followed by lho othora. There was barely limc for a singlo Warning exclamation, before she wasa bottomless wreck, and the crew in the water.— As ihere had been no time to cut, tlie line became entangled with the wreck, when the tub fell through; and, the whalo moving ahead, the men were left unsupported, except by tho oars, at the distance of five miles from the nearest land, which >vu9 'be islet previously mentioned.

family of the factor had already blessed and sprinkled the worka. A gigantic Angolan ne- gro, who had been choaen king of tho slaves for the season, was very conspicuous, as, ar¬ rayed in a crown of gilt paper, and bearing a curiously curved sceptre of whalebono in his hand, hestood, Colossus-like, on acapstiinhead, and su^crintenuTO the process of heaving round. The confused din Of the laboring ma¬ chines. an<r the wild clamor of voices, with the black smoke wblch began to pour in dense vol¬ umes from the try-works, might well bave re¬ minded a Royal Professor of Latin" jof thc mouth of tho pit of Acheron; wbile the un- eartlily shriek with which the black king stim¬ ulated his subjects to exertion, might have passed, at the same time, for one of the rally iog criea of the sons of Satan.
The sea-birds, in thick flocks, flew screaming round the docks, and tfae sharks, which had hitherto followed leisurely in tho smooth tracks of the whales, now began tn splash about and bestir themselvea, as if aware tbat thc banquet had begun.
An active crew of Yankee whalemen has certainly been known " to cut in a whale," un¬ der favorable circumstances, in three houra, from the moment wben the first '* blanket- piece " had swung clear of the main-rail, in¬ board :—at the Armacao, more than double that time wa consumed in the same operation, ¦aUhough several whales could theu be flinched " at once, and the oil was more easi¬ ly stored.
Largo copper tubes, nnd gutters lined with the same material, connected the boilers witb the tanks. Hose, prepared especially for the purpose, were also used to convey the oil, as pumped out from the tanke, to that part of the warehouses where the casks were stored and cooped for thc voyage to Europe.
It was midnight, before the regular watches were set;'and, for tho first time since the morning, tho two harpooners, wet and weary, met for a moment, in a verida, or small drink- house, close to the works. The loss of the boat's crew threw a deep gloom over the opera¬ tions of the day, which had otherwise been a matter of great exultation.
' I had hopes of finding tho clerk,' said An¬ tonie, in reply to some observation of Louis; ' but I tbink now that the sharks raust have ta¬ ken him. They followed us back to the Ar¬ macao in shoals, and some of the slaves are ready to swear that they saw 'Wise John'f cross our wake more thau once. I saw one fel¬ low, myself, with a hack fin liko that of a kil¬ ler.'

But be this as it may. blessed with an indus¬ trious spirit, and careful to avoid the displea¬ sure of the governor, tho island farmer lived and flourished, Tlis bouse was generally situ¬ ated on the summit of a gentle rise, in tbe midst of a grove of orange trees ; so numeroua were the epringa, that it is scarcely hyperboli¬ cal to say that through each man's lands ran a rivulet; shaded walks, through grounds cover¬ ed with cotton and cofi'ee plants, led to the su¬ gar and farina mills, or from dweUing to dwelling ; the men cleared and cultivated the soil ; the women spun the cotton into gar¬ ments ; tbe buys fished and tended the few cat¬ tle which worked tho mills ; thc children play¬ ed half naked on thc sirand.or beneath the shade of the roof-trees; and so, from day to day—his waking hours parsed in improving a grateful soil, and his sleep sweetened by toil, —sped the life of the '* Lavador," in one ofthe most delightful regions of the world. It was in the power of'the petty despot under whom he lived, to darken at will the sunshine of his existence; but only in this respect was his con¬ dition of life tho same with thatof tho less for¬ tunate settlers ofthe continent.
Descended from tho frugal and industrious emigrant of tho Western Isles,—hound togeth¬ er by the tics of blood, aponsorship, or marri¬ age,—harmless in their lives, and cheerful in their intercourse with each other,—the peo. pie of these secluded diatricts presented a pic¬ ture of rural life frequently seen in the Bra¬ zils. Often hns the writer of this sketch, in the roving days of his youth, wandered among tho romantic defiles and lovely valea of Saint Catharine—often mused over thc wild scenes these shores had wimessed—often sat upon the green bank when the breeze waa abroad and golden sunshine on thc waves—often imagined as he inhaled the balmy air, that he could bear a strangely sweet but faint chime of music, mingling with the mimic ronr of the tide on thc strand of some hidden bay, or keeping time with the white heads on the breakers, as they rose and fell on the gigantic rocks of the coast. . But though the breeze is there, nnd ' the voice mysterious,' the charm of youth is gone and the chances are, I behold thc green isle no moro. Jldietios, bunila Ilka! Never greener spot greeted pilgrim from the sea—never rose the aun from bis ocean bed on fairer isle.
On the main land, especially a little remote from the coast,'in tho cattle districts, the Ufe ofthe ' Fazendeiro' more nearly resembled that of the wild_7Jcon. of the more southern es¬ tancias. His habitation was a mere hovel, thc roof thatched with palm loaves. Its furniture consisted of a few stools, and matte-cups. On its mud walls, hung lhe spur with its enor¬ mous rowel—the tremendous hridle-bit—the lumbritlio with its smnll triangular stirrups of horn and in its gay surcingle—the lasso— the hollas—tho cavalry aword, and the rusty firelock.

faat to leeward. The pelicans were going out to fish, in long regular lines ; the fish-hawks, as is their custom early in the day, soared in circles towards tho sun ; and upon lho beach of a bushy islet, which the school was passing to starboard, a flock of scarlet flamingoes were drawn up in a line, like a party of soldiers to resist a landing.
As the boats passed the citadel on the island of Atomeri, the rampart was already crowded witb 'spectators, and, further on, the people wero seen gathering on tbe points, and the beaches, and attho doors of their cottages.— The flrst boat kept its distanco ; and of the village of Santa Cruz, Antonie fastened to one whale, and mortally wounded another with a dart of his lance. The fast whale turned and made for the open seas, dodging .several boats which attempted to way-lay him, and leaving a long, white lino in the boat's wake, as he rapidly sought an offiog. Point after point,— bill after hill,—beach after beach, flew by, un¬ till at lost the Island of Gal, whicb lies off the northern entrance, and the broad ocean itself, lay before tbem. Several drags had been thrown out, but be lowed on as fast as ever, and the slaves began to murmur, as ihcy cast their eyes anxiously on lhe land they were leaving at sucb an alarming rate.
* jDtfli*!' said one fellow, 'him run across de ocean, and fetch up on da Guina coast, and Tomma aee he bome again.'
*Cut de iine, and let de rascal go, Senhor Antonie,' said tbe bowman : ' to-morrow you get another dat make two of him.'
This piece of advice, which was well meant and extremely judicious, at least in the eyes of tho speaker, waa ill received,—a sharp kick in tbe rear ttdmonishiug him to bs silent.
In a few moments, the animal's speed began to slacken, though tho water still formed an arch of foam urder thd bow.
* Watch bim till he eases ofl" alittle more, Antonie,* said the amatuer boat-steerer, a clerk of the factor's j ' then haul up, and give his flukey a touch with the spade.'
This was an exttemoly delicate and danger¬ ous manoeuvre to attempt with a half-grown bull-whale fully gaiiied,^ with two  harpoons in his hump.   The harpooner was wall aware of this, and, as tho land wind was failing, ha shook his head, and suggestedv-HOOther expedi ent.   In the bow of the boat wu^i^|wivel for shooting harpoons and lances in cEiln^tbiatheri It was little thought of> however, and' boat being which still carried it was thi tonio, who, thoogh fully relying on his arms, bad a. lurking partiality for tbe gtinpowder.   It wasa sort of martial varii •to an old tone, and it did his heart good to point aod sight" liiltla Thunder," as he facotioualy
started for the islet j but they were carried by the current loA'ards tbe mainland, where, to the surprise of everybody, the harpooner land¬ ed, at lho point of Dos Gauchos, distant, at least, two leagues from the scene, three hours after the boat was sloven. Though many boats and caniDes were despatched to rescue the re¬ mainder of the crew, not a man of them was ever seen afterwards. The oars were picked up, and the dead whale, the wreck being dis¬ engaged, probably, by the death-struggle. The shore was thoroughly exaniined for many miles, wben the flood set in, and for a long time after¬ wards ; but, ihougb the hats of one or two of the parties were found, itwas never ascertain¬ ed-wheiher their owners were drowned, or la- en by the enormous sharks which frequented the strait during the fishing season. Masses were satd for their souls at lhe expense of the Company ; and, for a long period, Ihe effect of the catastrophe was felt in the decided aversion of the slaves to perform the most trifling duty in the boats.

On the day when thc catastrophe, related in the Iaat chapter, occurred, tho operations of the boats had been successful to an unusual degree. Sixteen whales, averaging n yield of ten pipas, or twelve hundred English gallons each, had heen towed into the docks ot the Armacao be¬ fore vespers. Most of these had been killed by Louis during tbe few moments which ensued between the harpooning of the flrat wbale, and sea-stampede, which scattered Ihem in every direction. Itis a well-known fact, in the na¬ tural history of the macroccphalus, that on en¬ tire school, aiiacked by the whalers, will some¬ times He panic-stricken, until, in the extremi¬ ty of terror, a single individual starts, when tbe rush and run of the rest immediately follow.— Taking advantage of this timorous stato of in¬ action, the daring and skilful whaleman, ex¬ changing his harpoon for a lance, will^omo- time^ mortally wound or .kill a moiety of (he school in a veiy ahort space of time. In the rapid and dexterous * dart • of bia lance, Louis excelled all competitors, it being generally al¬ lowed, that thismode of using the weapon waa as fatal in his hands, as a* set,' or thrust, in those of anoiher.
The brief, gorgeous twilight, which flushes the face of dying day, in this climate, had pass¬ ed away, and the virgin moon and her ottend- ant star were costing their pale beams on tbo waters of the bay, wben Louia arrived off the ^Ijners with the last whale in tow. The point, .and the whole semicircular strand, presented '0, etriking Qud animated sight In the docks, most of siaia monsters were already secured, floating deep amid tho young surges of the tide, while creaking and groaning, like tbe immense machines of old, tlje mighty capstans, manned by a hundred sable hands, were hoisting up to the cranes great masses of blubber, already de¬ tached firom the carcasses by the spadesmen, n tbs piers. .Wh«a these ponderooa pieces b»d

I shall now proceed to notico brjotly thc con¬ dition of tho rural inhabitants cf thc ialand.  r? contrasted with those of the continent. The houses of the former were better built iind more convenient, and their grounds, if less qs.- tensive, were cultivated with n.ore eare. Tliey were also more secure from the inroads of wild beasts. A few jnguars were still to be mot with, ftnd the monkeys, the original denizen-s of the forest, thougli, like the pfirrots, tbey were considered legitimate food, h.id not yet been extirpated from the island Large, pre¬ datory bands of the howling species still inlmb- ited the liciirt of the tnatto, where, all day long, the}' practised gymnnstic exercises on the timbo, or wild rigging of parasitical vine: which extended from tree to tree ; or, like thi moss-troopers of old, as the approach of night, collected in troops for a moonlight foray. The fields of sugar-cane, the vege table-gardens, and the orangeries and bananaries, were the chief objects of their expeditions. With the banded birds ond tho traveUing ant» they had once heen tbe worst enemies of thc planter J the dogs, and the occasional use of firearms, soon kept the two first-named pests at bay :— as for the last, tbey had, at any time, been as destructive herons in the northern captaincies, aud the heavy ahowers of summer aeem to have awept them oway, as the lnnd became graJual¬ ly cleared.
With a climate, thc finest on eorth in winter, —even the continuous heot of summer being moderated by the mountain gales, and thc breeze from the sea,—the island planter, by the aid of a few slaves, lived at ease on tbe flour of the manioc, tho flesh of the bays, the beef of tbc pastures, and tbe delightful fruit^ ofthe clime. Tbe cotton grown upon his lands was spun by the women into cloth for his household ; his canoes carried the surplus pro¬ duce of his plantotion to the market of the town; the hunt in the forest, thc fandango, and the processions of the Romish Church, amused his leisure hours, and an occasional arrival from Rio de Janeiro, furnished him with news. The appearance of n slaver, with the refuse of her cargo for sale, formed tho great event of his life. Tbe mou who possess¬ ed a few slavea in such a climate, waa consid¬ ered on the high-road to prosperity,* for a great majority of the negroes were owned by the Company, and employed in the labors of the works
There were other arrivals of a still moro equivocal character, in which he took a decid¬ ed though nautral interest. A Spanish coaster would occasionally run iuto the southern en¬ trance of the strait, and anchor in somo conve¬ nient haven, not far from the capitol, where she would remain for a few days, during which time the Sargento-Mor, in a sumaca, or smack of tho governor, paid her repeated vis- its. She was soon off again, ond nftcr 0 longer or shorter period, it would be whispered that the bergatim was ogoia in the channel, and tbe Sargcnto-Mor ogain busy Kith the smack.— The Spaniard was a smuggler from the Rio de la Plata, nnd this wns the manner in which the transootions at Santa Catharina were car¬ ried on. The sovereigns of Spain and Portu gal were entitled by law to one-fifth of tho precious metals diacovered in South American provinces. But gold was exclusively obtained from tho Brazillion mines, and silver from those of the Spanish ou the Pacific; and the reader will readily understand that no taswas levied in cither country upon that metal which was thepeculiar product of the other. Now, considerable quantities of tlie gold were col¬ lected in thc small streams which flow down the Serra de Santa Catharina to the sea; and this gold was purchased at a nominal price, of the grimpcirosX by the governor, who hod en tered into an arrangement with hig Spanish correspondents, by which it was exchanged in the bay of Saint Catharine for silver smuggled from tho mines of Peru, across the Andes, on the backs of mules ; so that, in this way, their most Catholic Majesties were defrauded of their fifths, by their royal and ingenious servants.

ments kept, besides the fiahing-rods, tho pad dU'.s and polos of the canoes, with which tliey navigated the mountain strcunts. In another corner niight bc seen a pickn.xe, a lantern or two, and a few mining tooN. Tlicsc latter Utensils indicated his counc^ion withthe •^rim- peirus'. Fish, freah or drieu, clianiucd beef hnili'd with black beans and Iiighly reasoned, formed his principal food; knives and forks, with spoous wero bii por nnon.-4 urljclfs, ench person dipped his fingers in the dish, and vma supplied with a calabash of dry furina, the grains of wliich lie threw into his mouth, with 0 de.Ktei'ity acquired hy long practice.— If 0113' f'^^l ^° '^'i'^ fioor, tbey were ininiedi.Ttcly snatched up by thc chickens, whioli hung round the meal, like an enemy'.s advance round the rearguard of ;i I'ctreat which end!ingert= the hnggage-wagouH They continu.-illy exer¬ cise iJie vigil.-mci; of lbe woj;jen and chiMren during the moal, though noihing was easier than to shut the door. Wby this was uot done is 0 mystery to thi.^ day. Snuill cups of coifee or cocoa-sliolls of kvrbu tlu tnattu, or Para gu.iy toa, were (aken at thc rc-p.ist, whicli wa?^ concluded with a plentiful deport.
Tbe Fuzendeiru,a.ux{ his men, pas.^ed their time in tending the herds of hi.s pasture- breaking his horse's and nuile.s—iu chasing the (i;/^«,'the jaguar, or thc wild iitcn. Sumo times Capitaen do ATotto, or lJu.sli Captain, and hunted the runaway slavea of the mountains. Ills expeditions to thc Serra, however, most generally resulted lo theprofitof his Excellen¬ cy, Don Antonia de .Mendonca,
Uis stateof morals was lowcr, and hisoppor- unities of information less frciiuent, than those of tbe fisherman nnd small planfcrs loca¬ tod directly on thc cost. Hc was much addict¬ ed to gambling, nnd the undue use of tbc long knife, his constant corapunion. No quarter was given in his contests with tbe Indians wlio sufiiciently tried his tem per by murdering his people, cutting down his crops, and carrying off liis caitlo. Those forays sometimes required tbe presence of the Sargento .Mor and a party of soldiers : the savage, it- was true, had not learned, tho use of firearms, and held them in groat dread ; but he timed his movemcuis so us rarely to be caught at a disadvantnge, and shot bis barbed arrows homc to the mark, with a force uot to bc di piscd. fn tilis irregular warfare, the fugitive slaves sometimes acted as guides to the wild men, ov formed themsolves into small b;mds in tbe mountain."?, where Ihcy wore hunteil down by the herdsmen and thc peopleof the .\rmacao. Many interesiing incidents,conueeted with theliistory of thiscajjtainoy—of ils capture by the Spaniards in 1777, and its curious charac ters, floiae of whom were couimon to tbc whole country—are well known to tho writer,and may, perhaps, be given to the public in a nar rativo at some future dny.
