By CHAT.LES B. LEWIS M. QUAD). [Copyt iuht, 1«<4. by diaries B. Lewis.] Lord Duff at the time I write of him was 60 years old and jnst married for the third time. He had lieen living in Ceylon for many years, and his money was estimated by the wagon load. He went to England in the fall of 1869, and in the spring of 1870 lie was married. Perhaps you remember how high society was shocked to the core by that marriage. It was declared to be the most dreadful thing that ever happened. Why? Because Lord Duff, who was an eccentric old character and didn't give a continental for society or anything else, was married to a governess years old. They said it was a cn v of love at first sight, but society will never excuse a lord for falling in love with a dependent. He got the cold cut on all sides, hut from all accounts that didn't worry him any. Two weeks after the marriage the couple started for Ceylon, and all went well until they were almost in sight of their future home. The old man had not only settled a wagon load of money on his wife, hut hail made her a bushel or two of costly presents. Among them was a watch which was said to have cost IL’o.OOO. Instead of being a watch set with diamonds, it was a diamond set with a watch. It seemed that the bride prized this gift above all others and exhibited it. whenever the weather allowed her to appear on deck. While the steamer was rounding the Seychelle islands to run down hereasting before hauling up to the north, she
she had lain in the hot sun for three or four days she began to dry out, and the work of digging off the shells was much

possible sha|>e before leaving. Of course everybody called Lord Duff au old imbecile and gave the expedition the laugh, but tilings went right ahead just the same, and at length we sailed for Bird
island.
I for one had no idea when we started out that we should sjiend an hour searching for the watch, but our captain had determined to spend a good many. He hadn’t the slightest hope of finding it, of course, but having undertaken the task he was too conscientious not to put forth every effort. On arriving at the island we warped the brig into the little bay on the west side called Turtle bay, where she would be as snug as if in drydock, and we then used the laiats and consulted the charts to get a good idea of the bottom of the sea to the north. We found it to be a gradual incline from the beach for a distance of eight miles, with a soil composed of sand and
gravel.
We spent a fortnight making soundings and alsmt the same time in watching the tides and currents and searching the north beach after every high tide to see what had been cast np. Certain seashells are to be found at certain depths, as we all know. A dozen kinds may be washed up on the beach together, but we know that some were lying on the bottom at a depth of only five feet, while others were down at 100 when the storm broke. We discovered that the current which ran from the east into the Mozambique channel swept over this ocean bed with such a curve or bend in it as to

swords, two or three ancient muskets and a couple of axes. The divers had given it as their opinion thai she had been run into, but when we came to make a close inspection of the hole in her quarter we concluded that she had been struck by a shell fired from siuue man-of-war. It had sent her to the bottom as fast as if she had been run into by a thousand ton ship. During the week we were freeing the hulk from her shell armor a close watch was kept on the beach, and we picked up coins to the value of about $506 American money. Some of these were Arabian and some
Persian.
When we bad entirely cleared the decks, we found the craft had olfly one hatch- .

lass and bucket to empty her as dirt is taken from a well. Every bucketful was carefully inspected soon as dumped, but we found nothing more valuable than shells until well down to her keel. We couldn't make out what sort of cargo she carried until the shovelers began to load human bones along with the sand. With the bones came iron shackles and other outfittings of a slaver, and by and by we got down far enough to find that she had been fitted for a false deck and thus enabled to carry a double tier of slaves in a hold only 6 feet deep. We dug out of her hold hones enough to account for at least 50 persons, and a surgeon who afterward examined some of them said they belonged to men and women of the negro race. In the fo’castle we found nothing ex-

The wreck was found to be an old waterlogged hulk which h;ul long been abandoned, but as the steamer pursued her way Lady Duff suddenly cried out that she had lost her watch overboard. She was wearing it attached to a neck chain, I believe, and she displayed the broken chain to prove her loss. Lord Duff at once ordered the ship stopped. He might have stopped an earthquake in Ceylon, but he hadn't influence enough with the captain to stop that steamer on the high seas and fish through 150 feet of water for the lost watch. I was told by passengers aboard that he offered as high as $'.’5,000, and when he was told that the bauble couldn't he recovered lie was so vexed and put out that he cried like a boy. Then lie got mad and swore by his muttonchop whiskers that he'd have every foot of the Arabian sea raked over before he'd let that watch go to rust. With one arm around his weeping bride and the other raised to heaven he vowed that vow, and the bride was consoled. .She didn't know how large the Arabian sea is, hut slm believed that Lord Duff could have every gallon of water hailed out of it if he only said the word. The steamer was seven miles offshore and in ‘Ji lathuiim ot water when the captain was appealed to. To placate Lord Duff he located the spot as near as he could by getting the compass bearings of a certain spot on shore. The Seychelle group is composed of 18 islands, large and small, Bird island being the northernmost and also the largest. None of the islands is permanently inhabited, but they are all visited at intervals by turtle hunters and shell gatherers. On the north side of Bird island is a mass of rock 200 feet long by 10 in width and 40 in height, and on the top of this mass are three large trees in line. Conrng down into the Mozambique channel ftav.' sny .at thsJludjan. .peetf, Jhiwe three sentinels can be seen far out at sea and lung before any other poition of the island. Bird island is a ;«erf(-<o little paradise, and one might look ah'day and not find a stone us large us hi»4isl. <jieulogists declare tout t.,e gie.u mass of rock was loosened by an earthquake at the bottom of the sea 12 miles due north and then carried to the beach by the tidal wave. It was due north of this mass and seven miles away that the watch was lost. When common folks lose anything at sea. they give it up as lost forever, hut Lord Duff did not belong to that class. He vowed to find that watch, and he had no sooner landed at Colombo than lie took immediate steps. Lying in port at the time was an English brig called the Hope, which had been fitted out at Cape Town seven months before to search for a lied of pearl oysters said to exist in the channels between the Lakadivh islands. We had made a long and exhaustive search and given np the job in disgust. Lord Duff probably selected the Hope because she was the only craft available, hut select her he did, and his instructions were to proceed to Bird island and search for that watch until it was recovered or he sent word to let up. The idea of such a search was ridiculous, but the old man was full of hope; and business. We had a crew of eight men, Vint he added three native pearl divers to the force. What the brig lacked in the way of dredges and rakes ami tackle he put aboard, and he provisioned her for a whole year. He hired her outright for
to the north shells overboard due north of the mass of rock on shore. Next day the wind blew from the north all day, and two days later seven of our twelve shells were hack on the beach. The others had either been carried to the west into the channel or rolled into some pocket in the bed of
the sea.
After being fully satisfied on (he points above mentioned we thought it barely possible that the watch might he found. After a bit we hit upon a plan which still further increased the chances, .lust as the tide began to turn we would g . out in the small boats and throw our drags overboard and stir up the sand at the bottom, and as a result much more stuff came ashore. It was this dragging wiiich led to a great piece of luck. After high tide on a certain day, while the whole crowd of ns were inspecting the beach, as was our routine, I picked up two Indian coins known as rupees. The color proved that they had been in the water for a long time. While two or three of us were examining the coins, several others were found, audit was not long before we came to the conclusion that there was a wreck to the north of us. In about three hours' rowing and sailing we found it. It was five miles to the northeast of our landmark and in 92 feet of water, That a hulk of some sort lay there on the bottom, more or less broken np, we were certain, and for the time the search for Lady Duff’s watch was
lost sight of.
Our divers could not descend to such a depth to make an inspection, and after two days spent in preparing tackle we

of course. She hadn't put it on at all the day she thought she last it. but in an al>sentminded way had dropped it into a box. The box had in turn been laid aside, and it was months before she opened it and found the bauble under her eyes. We had made a good thing out of the search and the wreck, but we were not yet done with the latter. When we told our yarn at Cape Town, we were referred to history to prove that the dhow had been fired on and sunk by H. M. Sovereign while forming one of the llect to suppress the slave trade. The dhow had loaded part of a cargo of slaves on the Mozambique coast when driven off and pursued by the man-of-war. The chase lasted three or four days, and the dhow had finally thought to escape by running among the islands. When she went down, her crew escaped
to Bird island.
