and was ready for me. I made it out myself from the masthead,Blake Wheeler Tröjor, and I got enough way upon her in good time to keep her off. I ordered a boat to be lowered and manned, and went in that boat myself to explore the island. There was a reef outside it,Canada Goose Jacka, and,Tiger Williams Tröjor, floating in a corner of the smooth water within the reef, was a heap of sea-weed, and entangled in that sea-weed was this bottle.”
Here the captain took his hand from the bottle for a moment, that the young fisherman might direct a wondering glance at it; and then replaced his band and went on:-
“If ever you come — or even if ever you don’t come — to a desert place, use you your eyes and your spy-glass well; for the smallest thing you see may prove of use to you; and may have some information or some warning in it. That’s the principle on which I came to see this bottle. I picked up the bottle and ran the boat alongside the island, and made fast and went ashore armed,NHL Mens Toronto Maple Leafs Black Rink Warrior Pullover Hoodie, with a part of my boat’s crew. We found that every scrap of vegetation on the island (I give it you as my opinion, but scant and scrubby at the best of times) had been consumed by fire. As we were making our way,Menn Moncler Sport, cautiously and toilsomely,Belstaff Icon Jackor, over the pulverised embers, one of my people sank into the earth breast-high. He turned pale, and ‘Haul me out smart, shipmates,’ says he, ‘for my feet are among bones.’ We soon got him on his legs again, and then we dug up the spot, and we found that the man was right, and that his feet had been among bones. More than that, they were human bones; though whether the remains of one man, or of two or three men, what with calcination and ashes, and what with a poor practical knowledge of anatomy, I can’t undertake to say. We examined the whole island and made out nothing else, save and except that, from its opposite side, I sighted a considerable tract of land,Team Finland Tröjor, which land I was able to identify, and according to the bearings of which (not to trouble you with my log) I took a fresh departure. When I got aboard again I opened the bottle, which was oilskin-covered as you see,Canada Goose Whistler Parka, and glass- stoppered as you see. Inside of it,” pursued the captain,Filip Chlapik Tröjor, suiting his action to his words, “I found this little crumpled, folded paper, just as you see. Outside of it was written, as you see, these words: ‘Whoever finds this,Calgary Flames Tröjor, is solemnly entreated by the dead to convey it unread to Alfred Raybrock, Steepways, North Devon, England.’ A sacred charge,” said the captain, concluding his narrative,Ben Bishop Tröjor, “and,NHL Mens Calgary Flames Pond Hockey Pullover Hoodie - Black, Alfred Raybrock, there it is!”
“This is my poor brother’s writing!”
“I suppose so,” said Captain Jorgan. “I’ll take a look out of this little window while you read it.”
“Pray no, sir! I should be hurt. My brother couldn’t know it would fall into such hands as yours.”
The captain sat down again on the foot of the bed, and the young man opened the folded paper with a trembling hand, and spread it on the table. The ragged paper, evidently creased and torn both before and after being written on, was much blotted and stained, and the ink had
