f a Robbery- at . Sea - and the
Thief's Deteetion.
Twasla lovely afternoon towards the
close of Septentber wbeen We weighed

• good ship --Janet's Pride-Ioaded with

fourteen passengers, and take them alr

A little hesitation on the part of one or
taro of the passengers Was shown before
accetsing to ethe. last .proposal, but our
pleasant paesenger Seen, contrived -to bring'
hidden geode when he suddenly withdrew,
having quivkly replaced the lid on the cask.
In anothet moment the-eattse of . his. alarm
was Made apparent, as . a Couple of sailors
passed him on their Way to relieve the man
at the Wheels
When all was again quit, for an instant
he seemed determined to return once to the
Old cask,- and no d_oulit withdraw some -
thug more that the -interruption: had pre-
vented his taking in the -first place. Bub,
suddenly changing , his mind; - he. Went
down the stairs • that led frcien the - deck to

Scarcely had May disappeared when an-

stairs down which May had taken his de-
parture. .Ite -then made directly for .the

old boatswain had been watching the pleas-
ant voyager. • • - - - • • .•
Just as the old sailor, reached the water
cask *heavy ...green sea struck' the shtp. to
windward, necessitating the te boatswain's
holding on by the ropes to keep his footing,
and °precively- at the same moment May
appeared atthetop of the cabin stairs. • ,
• The instant the ship steadied herself the
old boatswain commenced his • examination
of the Water cask. For a moment onlyttlay
stood gazing at hina- with as evil a glance as
I ever saw. With one bound he was upon
the sailor -before he could protect himself:

SO you see t he was the thief :after all,

exterior I ever rnet The manner in

water cask was a very ingenious piece of
carpentry. In the interior' of the sides of
the cask he had driven several nails about
two feet from the top, on which he had sus-
pended, inewash4ather. bags, --the jewelry
he had stolen; -
• You may easily' imagine the surprise
evinced by the people on board on

each and every •one of thein.entertaned such

At the expiiation of three days from .the
