At breakfast this morning I suddenly had that vague feeling of uneasiness whioh coulee over some people when closely stared at, and, Looking quickly np, I Met hie eyes bent upon me with an ntensity which amounted to feroo- ty, though their expreselon instantly softened as he made some conven- tional remark upon the weather. Curiously enough, Herten says that be bad a very similar experience yester- day upon deck. I observe that Gor- ing frequently talks to the, colored seamen as he strolls about—a trait which I rather admire, as it is oom- won to find half -breads ignore their dark strain and treat their black kins- folk with greater intolerance than a wbite man would do. His little page is devoted to him, apparently, which speaks well for bis treatment of him, Altogether, the man is a ouriou s mix- ture of incongruous qualities, and un- less I am deceived in him, will give me food for observation during the voy- age. The captain is grumbling about his chronometers, which do not register exactly the same time He says it is the first time that they have ever disagreed. We were unable to get a noonday observation on account of the haze. By dead reckoning we have done about a hundred and seventy miles in the twenty-four hours. The dark seamen have 'proved, as the skip- per 'prophesied, to be very inferior hands, but as they can both manage the wheel well, they are kept steer- ing, and so leave the more expert re- ed men to work the ship. nese de- tails are trivial enough, but a small thing serves as food for gossip aboard ship. The appearance of a whale in the evening caused quite a flutter among us. From its sbarp bask and forked tail I should pronounce it to have been a rorqual, or "finner," as they are called by the fishermen. October 19th.—Wind was cold, so I prudently remained in my cabin all day, only creeping out for dinner. Lying in my bunk, I can, without moving, reach my books, pipes, er anything else I may want, which is one advantage of a small apartment. My old wound began to ache a little to -day, probably from the cold. Read "Montaigne's Essays'' and nursed my- self. Harton came in in the after- noon witb Daddy, the captain's child, and the skipper himself followed, so that I held quite a reception. October 20th and 21st.—Still cold, with a continued drizzle of rain, and I have not been able to leave the cabin. This confinement makes me feel weak and depressed. Goring came in to see me, ' but his company did not tend to cheer' sae up much, as he hard- ly uttered a word, but contented him- self with staring at me in a pecul- iar and rather irritating manner. Re then got up and stole out of the cab - m without saying anything. I am beginning to suspect that the man is a lunatic. I think I mentioned that his cabin is next to mine. The two are simply divided by a thin wooden partition which is cracked in many places, some of the crooks being so large that I can hardly avoid, as I lie in my bunk, observing bis motions in the adjoining roam. Without any wish to play the spy, I see hien con- tinually stooping over what appears to be a ohart and working with a Pencil and campaeses. I have remarked the interest he displays in matters connected with naviga- tion, but I am surprised that he should take the trouole to work out the course . of . the ship. However; it is a harmless amusement enough, and no doubt be verifies his results by those of the captain. I wish the man did not run In my thoughts so much. I had a night- mare on the 20th, in which I thought my bunk was a coffin, that I was laid out in it, and that Goring was endeavoring to nail up the lid, which I was frantically pushing away. Even when I woke up I could hardly persuaded myself that 1 was not in a coffin.

I was very much pleased with the acocmmodation, end also with Tibbs, the captain, a bluff, sail- or -like fellow, with it loud voice and iaarty manner, who welcomed me to i the s ip with effusion, and insisted upon our splitting a battle of wine in his cabin. He told me that be in- tended to take his wife and youngest child with btm on the voyage, and that he hoped with good luck to make Lisbon in three weeks. We bad a pleasant chat and parted the best of friends, he warning me to make the last of any preparations next morning, as he intended to make a start by the midday tide, having now sbipped all his cargo. 1 went back to my hotel, where I found a letter from my wife awaiting me, and, af- tee a reftresbimg night's sleep, tamed to to thle boat in the morning. From this point I am able to quote from the journal, which I kept in or- der to vary tbe monotony of the long sea -voyage. 11 it is somewhat bald' in planes, I oan att least rely upon Its 0000raoy in details, as it was writ- tenconscientiously from day to day. October 16th. --Cast off our wraps at half part two and were towed out in- to the bay, where the lug left us, and with all sail set we bowled along at about nine knots an hour. I stood upon the poop watching the low land of America sinking gradually upon the horizuu until the evening base hid it from my sight. A single red light, however, continued to blaze balefully behind us, throwing a long track like a trail of blood upon the water, and it is still visible as I write, though reduced to a mere speck. The sap- taln is in a bad humor, for two of bis hands disappointed him at the last moment, and he was compelled to ship a couple of uegroes who bap - pealed to be on the quay. The miss- ing men were steady, reliable fellows, who had bean with him several voy- ages, andtheir non-appearance puz- zled as well as irritated him. When a craw of seven mien have to work a fair-sized ship, the loss of two ex- perienced seamen is a serious one, for though the negroes may take a spell at the wheel or swab the decks, they are of little or no use in rough weather. Our cook is also a black man, and Air. Septimus Goring has a little darky servant, so that we ars rather a piebald oommunity. The ao- countant, John Bartel., in•omises to be an acquisition, for he is a cheery, amusing fellow. Strange bow lit- tle wealth has to do witb happiness! He has all the world before him and is seeking his fortune in a far land, yet he is as transparently happy as a man can be. Goring is rich, if I am not mistaken, and so am I; but Iknow that I have a lung, and Goring has some deeper trouble still, to judge by his features. How 'poorly do we both contrast with the careless, penniless clerk October 17th.—Airs. Tluus appeared upon deck for the first time , this morning—a cheerful, energetic wo- man, with a dear little child just able to walk and prattle. Young Harton pounced on it at once and car- ried it away to his cabin, where no doubt he will lay the seeds of future dyspepsia in the child's stomach. Thus medicine doth make cynics of us all I The weather is still all that could be desired, with a fine fresh breeze from the west -sou' -west. The vessel goes so steadily tbat you would hardly know that ahs was moving were it not for the creaking of cord- age, the bellying of the sails end the long white furrow in our wake. Walk- ed the qua,rter-desk all morning with the auptatn, and I think the keen fresh air has already done my breath- ing good, for the exercise did not fa- tigue me in any way. Tibbs is a re- markably. intelligent man, and we had an interesting argument about Maury's observations on ocean our - rents, which we terminated by going down into his Sabin to oonault the original work. There we found Gor- ing, rather to the captain's surprise, as it is not usual for passengers to enter that sanctum unless specially invited. lie apologized for his in- trusion, however, pleading his ignore Mee of the usages of ship life; and the good-natured sailor simply laugh- ed at the incident, begging him to remain and favor us with his com- pany. Goring pointed to the chrono- meters, the case of which he had open- ed, and remarked that he Sud been ad- miring them. He has evidently some practical knowledge of mathematical instruments, as he told at a glance whioh was the most trustworthy of the three, and also named their price within a few dollars. He had u dis- cussion with the captain, too, upon the variation of the compass, and when he came back to the ocean cur- rents be showed a thorough grasp of the subject. Altogether he rather improves upon acquaintance, and is a man of decided culture and refine- ment. Hie voice harmonizes with his conversation, and both are the very antithesis of his face and figure. The noonday observation shows that we have run two hundred and twenty miles. Toward evening the breeze freshened up, and the first mate ord- ered reefs to be taken in the.top- sail.s and top -gallant sails in expec- tation of a windy night. I observe that the barometer has fallen to Liven- ty-nine. 1 trust our voyage will not be a rough one, as I am a poor sail- or, and any health would probably de- rive snore harm than good from a stormy trip, though I have the great- est confidence in the oaptntri s sea- imrlvshmp end in the soundness of the vessel.

"Tia fortificationte. barraoks and dook yards bid fair to melee the agenda the Gibraltar of the Atlantip, St. George has gone down very much since I was there 8Q year, age, but Hamilton has grow% consid- erably. The Government has built an Iron balance doales up d like the let- ter t- ter V, wbloh is 400 teat in length. The bottom is round, so that wben it be - cornea foul the whole structure min be pareened over just as vessels used be be in olden Hansa, then the bottom can be scraped, and painted down to the center line, After this, the dook Can be battled down the other way and the operation of cleaning :and painting completed. Between the in- eer and outer skins is a space of 20 feet in depth, The -dook can be sunk 80 feet,. This great chamber is divid- ed into 30 compartments by 15 trans- verse bulkheads and a longitudinal one running along the keel line. These are pumped out by SIXTEEN INDTVXDUAL ENGINES on each side of the dock. But the Gov- - ernanent Is not satisfied with this pre. vision. "A now dook is being built in see - tions in England which will be 000 feet in length and capable of acoammodat- ing the largest vessels. Through the Courtesy of an old friend, Joseph Bay', wood, who drove fns around for two days, I had a good Chance to see the dockyard and the Government works, I visited the site that is being exca- vated for this huge dock. An immense dredge and ship eorribined is digging away the coral rock by sheens of an endless els is of massive buckets. These deliver'the rock into the hold, wbieh has a capacity of 500 tons. Wben this is filled the vessel's dredge is haul- ed up a.nd site is taken to some adjacent channel, where the debris is dulmped, The dredge usually makes three tris daily, esoavating in the neighborhood cf 1,500 tons of coral In that time. "Lying close by were a couple et long, narrow, four funnelled torpedo - boats), that can make 80 knots easily, besides same fine looking torpedo- boat -destroyers, "The barr sobs are exeeptianally cam- modious, and afford fine accommoda- tion ; the fortifications are very strong and extensive. Outside the Ggvorn- mient works are the wrecking buei- nese, there is not anucli doing on the island. 11 is said there are 365 of them, one for every day in the year. Per- baps there are, but many of them are more pinnacles of rock, There is NO FRESH WATER on the islands, Great surfaces are cleared away on the hills. These are cemented, Whitewashed and fitted with 'leaders, which convey the rain water into immense cisterns. There, are lakes in the valleys, but these are salt, and have salt water fish in them, Some of the -valleys are veryfertile,• the great crops being potatoes, on- ions and lilies. It is delightful to drive through acres of Easter lilies In bloom. Bananas and lots of other tropical fruits are grown on the is- lands. Tbs Government is gradually acquiring additional lands for forti- fications, dock yards, barracks ani similar works. There is no doubt that the intention is to make It a place of immense .strength, equipped with the fullest facilities for the re- pair at naval and merchant ships.
