—XV Ebanor Klrt,
Our Pleasant Passenger.
It was a lovely afternoon toward the close
of September when wo weighed a ichor and
eailed out of the river Mersey. bound for
Melbourne. We had a good ship—Janet’s
Pride—loaded with miscellaneous articles.
On board were fourteen passengers, and,
take them all in all, a pleasanter lot 1 never
etoeied across the seas.
Then there was a solitary old gentleman,
who, judging from the general cone of his
conversation, was seeking the now world
for the ostensible purpose of finding fault
with it.
There were two young married couples,
all full of hope and activity, bant upon
making a new home far away from then
native land.
There were also a very jolly elderly
brother and sister, neither of whom had
over entered into the bonds of matrimony,
but instead had stuck to caoh other through
life.
Tb 'rc were three old Australian settlers,
who Lad been over to have a pe«p at ttc
»ld country, and were now returning to the
•md which, to them, through long comnuv
iion, had become tho dearest of a 1 others,
• Home, Sweet Horae."
Lastly, though not least, there wns a soli
’.ry passenger, who became tho pet of all
a board. Ho was a man about twenty*
ght years of nge. possessing a verv olocr
unplexion, a ver, handsome, long-dowing
• ard, and very silky mustache.
His name was llegina’d Moore. His
;iven reason for taking tho sea voyage was
he delicate state of his health. There was
not the least doubt that the poor fellow’s
ehost was considerably affected, for his
voice, though charmingly sweet, was one of
the weakest I ever remember hearing ; and
it had a certain bollownojs in its sound
that in my mind is invariably associated
with that terrible disease commonly called
•onsu-vptlon. He always wore a thick
uuffler round his neck, to protect his throat
ud cheat.
lu all my e*perienee—and it h aa been
retty wide—l never know any ono With so
a any friends a"d snob undivided esteem
u so short a time, as Reginald Moore.
L'here was not, 3 believe, a sailor or. board
vho did not <sv\*w in the warmest poosible
k«nin~ for him.
As ft/ the poraonprors, they never teamed
40 happy «a when listening to his tcaualng
ireccbms, of which bn seemed to (possess
in st. ra. And this delicate
youtg English uoi no < a passenger had
made this ooik ues over our hwaits before
we Lad been titrwo weeks at sou,
He wu», i • • ; i»w with
his hands. 11- 0m... um and shape you
anything out of a pu.ee of wood, from an
oyster to an elephant; ar.d at making
models of ships I never met his equal.
11c was, besides. kiv-!» a kind ar.d cons.der
»te fellow towards hi • foliow-presengera.
When the throe elderly gcr/tleiaen who
imaginr.il their fortunes made, worv» afliiot
ed with sea sickness, he was the first to
come forward and help them about while
they slowly recovers d. 110 would insist
up-u flu ir taking his arm, weak us he was
iuiso f, and lie would loud them about ou
■ leek with a lu’jnnes-i that spoke volumes ;u
favor of his “ sea logs.”
1 do not remember any voyage passing
so quirkiy aa the mm when the pleasant
passenger was ou board. 1 could, with in
finite pleasure, make u long pause at this
juncture in the thread of my s'ory, to
dwell upon the pleasant memories I still
retain of Reginald JMuoro.
We were w thin u week’s, sail of Mel
bourne. Reginald Moore had all hut com
pleted a modal of tlic Janet’s 'which
ho purposed presenting to me, licr oom
munder, the night before wo landed.
Row, he worked at t.iia model princi
pally on deck, and, etrr ngely enough, ho
had chosen lor a work tack, ono of the
empty water casks that f/ood on deck,
abaft, and under tho {shelter of the bul
warks.
While ho worked through the day you
were sure to hoc him Hurvoumted by Home
of the passengers or Bailors. The iruluHtry
he displayed was truly wonderful, for he
was invariably at. work L. Lire e.'u-ly mom
ing, loug before the other passenger*
dreamt of turnin', out of thou snug bertha.
As I have already stated wo were bub six
days’ rail from Melbourne. For tho first
tiino in our experience of him, the pleasant
passenger appealed at the dinner table will
a solemn, downcast exp'-ei.:-iou of lace and
a silent tongue. Before dinner was over 1
asked him what troubled hia mind and
caused this unhappy change in his wonted
cheerful manner.
At ti at he triod to evnde ray queries by
replying that it was nothing—noting |jh
Anacorte» "W% Saturday, <5, I ,
particular ; but I pressed him persistently
until I won from him rv. explanation.
Perhaps, after all,’ he said, “it is only
fair that I should explain matters. The
fact of the matter is, my watch has been
etolen.”
“ Stolen ? ” wo all exclaimed in a breath.
“Undoubtedly,” ho answered, “but I
pray you, Cup hn,’’ here he turned to me,
*' say not one word about it. Tho only
thing that renders the 10.5.i of consequence
to me is the fact that it once belonged to
my roor mother. On that account alone I
would not have lost it for any amount of
monej However, it cannot bo helped, and
therefore it is uselcrs to cry over spilt milk,
as tho old adage has it. My only request
In tho mutter is, my dear Captain, that you
will leave the matter entirely in my hat-ds.
and I think it very probable that I may re
cover it. This request lam sure you will
oblige me by granting.”
“ Certainly, my dear sir,” I replied, “ but
still—"
“ Exactly,” ho interrupted with one of
his pleasantest smiles. You would like to
take the matter in hand und investigate ivi
to the utmost of yonr power. I know th;- ,
my dohf Captaiu, f ail w< !; but ics nt •
you to kt ep y<'ur promise and leave nh*»
case enliro’y in my hr.vuh-."
How ce ild I deny him his request.
You will readily imagine what oonetoma
tiou this event gave rise to among the other
passengers. The three old gentlemen in
stantly proceeded to explain that they pos
sessed jewelry to the value of at least
three hundred pounds, which they usually
kept locked up in a brown leather writing
dun, but, unfortunately, at the present time
he lock was out of oruer.
Mr. R» ginald Moore suggested a safer
deposit for their valuables.
The young married couples announced
the fact of their owning at least two hun
dred and fifty pounds’ worth of jewelry;
md they, too, consulted Mr. Moore as to
the safest plan tor securing it.
The kind-heartod brother and sister had.
t appeared, mere valuables in the way of
eweiry than any one cn board, since (If
een hundred pounds would not purchase
that they possessed.
The whole of that evening was occupied
a speculating ns to the probable perpotra
,»r of the theft, and in condoling with Mr.
[core on hia great loss.
Every one turned io that night, in an un
.sy state of mind, and it was with nston
hinent that they found themselves in the
noniing st'H in possession of all their
worldly goods.
This irapiovt d condition of{fairs seemed
‘ ) reassure our passengers, who once cgum
an to look cheerful and at ease.
Reginald Moore’s pleasant face were its
■nied e.iuile, and as heretofore, he enliv
od and charmed us with vivacity and ar.
-dotes. All day through he worked nt tb*
iodel of the Janet’s Pride, still using tb>
.p of the empty water-cask for a work
uiblo.
That night we retired to rest with mind*
vr more at ease than on tho previous one
vlus! what a scene of auger vud distress
came with the momirg. Every passenger
»u board possessing jewelry hud been
robbed during the night
The three old gentlemen, the young mar
ried couple, and the kind-heart ad brother
and sister, found themrelvoe minus even
article of jewelry that they had
Kven the grumbling old goutlemau had lost
his gold snuff box.
There was no keeping matters quiet thir
time. The thief must bo traced on
brought to justice. What was tho wise-,
method of procedure? What would M:.
Moore suggest?
*■ I would suggest* though most reluctant
ly,” said Mr. Moore, “ fcbi»t every sailor and
every sailor’s luggage be carefully searched ’
To the proposition wo unanimous!;
agreed.
“This,” he continued, “must bo mtv.:
humiliating to the feelings of our ere- •
Captain, and therefore, in common fair nee
to them os our follow-men, let mo also rug
goat that evcrj r passenger and every passes
g. v’» luggage bo alec thoroughly Searched. ’'
A little hesitation on the part of ono o:
two of the passengers was demonstrated
before acceding to this last proposal, Hr
our pleasant passenger soon contrived U
\,ri ig those who at lirst d' marred to his
side of thinking.
“Of course, ’’ bo said, “there is not a
passenger on bo.jfd who Is not above sus
picion, yet In justice to *be fe dings of fV
crew, it is In my bmnbie opinion, the leas’
we nun do.”
This delicacy of feeling and this thought
fn’ness on the part of Reginald Moot*', rtu
dorud him, if possible, more admirable and
parisevvortby in our eyes thui ever.
Many of the crow strongly objected to
this procedure, but all were compelled to
submit The old boatswain was furious
with indignat'on, and vowed that if it cosi
him his life he would trace the thief who
bad caused him to be searched as a com
mon pickpocket. Even the pleasant pas
senger faded to soothe bis sense vf injury.
Well, « thorough search was made bv
myself, in company with the kind-hearted,
old gentleman and his sister . Every one’s
traps were rr.nssoked from top to bottom,
but without success.
{further search was useless, what wa? tc
bo done?

When all was again quiet, for an instant

he went down tho stairs to the uucii c» the
saloon and sleeping cabins.
Scarcely had he disappeared when anothci

in/ earnest observation. It was the boat
swain.
I saw him glance toward the stairs, dow
which Mr. Reginald Moore bad taken hi
departure. He then made direct £or th
water-cask. It was now obvious to no*
that the old boatswain had been watching
the pleasant passenger.
Just as w« reached tho water-cask a
heavy green sea struck the eaip to the
windward, necessitating the boatswain to
nold on by the rope so as to keep bis foot

nali Moore appeared at the bead of the
cabin stairs. I shall never forgot the
