CHAPTER HL\u2014Coatinued.With sulten dircontent lu his heart the lad turned bomewa:ds.Dut when his joursey was ended, and he saw the sun.burnished towersof the Sharkshead, and maid Margaret, with ber pale precn gown and long light curls, standing sloging on tbe rocks, and that hoary- headed old Nosibman bonding bis strong arms tothe cars ss be shot the boat ashore to bring cf bia sob, Nathan's heart revived.his facs brightened, and all the evening his merry tongue ratticd of the splondora of the new wotld\u2019s Babel, snd of the \u201cIlona\u201d which had #0 gallantly sailed toward the south.Life passed quletly on the reef as the summer grow juto aatumn.Nathan went ashore for his lossonr, and sided his father at the Light ; and Margaret did ber best to cheer the bousebold, that the vold of Hal's ab- cence might not be toodeeply felt.Hal's letters wonld have been a source of unmixed delight, dad they uot seemed to tir fu Nathan the imp of the perverse, and make bim restless and cross for days after they came, The Just hours of October darkened in clouds and iain.Nathan came over from shore about three fn the afternoon.and Margaret from ber high window watched his little boat tosslng on the roughening watore, and the rain dilven in his face by the rising | wicd.Before sunset the rain ceased, and à brazsn tand of light girdled the horlzon ; the great whitc-caps rose and fell ns far out as the oye could see,and along the Sharkshesd shoals the breakers rolled and thundered, and broke jute fountains of spray.The windand wave had dilven quantities of dritiwood ashore, and Margaret.wrapped In a shaw! ran out to gether sume from the beach.In the lower story of the tower dame Clare repared the supper ; Gifford and Nathan had already lit the beacon and were high up on the tower.examining the light, and discussing the prospect of à long storm.Margaret titted along the narrow beach picking up bits of wood ; and kecping pace with ber agile motions, danced along a pair of ber friends, the sand-peeps,wbite aud gray ; the \u2018alender fair-faced giri with her light dec fragile birds that love the ses, ran up and down the wavc-\u2018rampled sandr.tho ocean in tierce commotion raglog about them, the innd lying hushed into msudden calm, as of terror ; and over their head the now world's Pharrs shining out efar.to warn the ships which must tbat night do tremendons battle with thostorm.The yellow along the water {Ine soon faded into gray ; the night brought a darkness that might be felt ; the rain beat sgalost the tower, and the winds howled like Lemata after their prey.The fog bell rang its ceaseless warnings and so at last day came, without brighincss, or sign of checr.Hundreds of stormy days had the Gifford family spent alone atthe Sharkshesd Light.They wero at no loss\u2014they had food and fuel fn plenty ; work was to be done ; they Lad 8 and papers to read ; and often from the summit of the tower they scanned the reaward distance, catching now aad again sight of a aalling veesel or steam-ship, deiv- ing before the atorm ; and once they watched three little fishing schooners.which bad cutlived thet unhappy night at ses.«cme crceping in shore.to bring sweet con- solstion to nearly despairing hoarte.Still {he storm increased, rain, fog and wind Ly turgs prevailing: sad louder roared the argry waves, pounding snd beating sgafost thesentipel Tights.Such seasons of storm were cot unprecedented and noone thought of coming to the reef from shore, nor did the QIf- fords fecl the least alarm.Bat that aight thero was a flood tide, the highest known for twenty years, At sixthe tide began to rise ; driven by the ferious winds, sud drawn by those mysterlous influences which rule the tes, the mighty volume of watersrose and rote along the coast,and blotting out the landmarks of years, the high tide ent M upderous Bolsa!

Lut Henry Clay, then Secretary of State, on Lebalf of the Administration, declined the proposition.l'resident Polk, ia 181% authorized tho American Minister at Mairid to offer and pay $100,000,000 for the purchase of Cuba, and the 5 eh Government péremp- torily rejected tho offer.The annexation of Cuba then became 8 political question, far.nishing much capltal to demsgoguos, and was regarded by many statcamon a3 8 probable event in the remote future.At thie period Narcisso Lopez appeared in the country and ipnangurated & movement to free the islend, as heclaimed, from the yoke ofS8pala.Lopez wasborn in Venezuela fa 1799.(omlag to the United States in 1840 with a large fortunes at his command, be used nearly the whole of icin fitting out three expeditions to Cabs.One called the \u2018Round lsland Expedition.\u201d in 1849; another, the * Cardeuss Invasion \" expedition, and the third and last, the disastrous ose to Babis Honda.The fret expedition wan arrested by [hé UDTEU States Governencné, and the second rendered sbortive by the vigilance of the Spanish authorities, sided by thie Uovornment.Lopex carried, on Tats ast enterprise, about 100 men.The m°n were of various nationalities.chiefly Americans Hun.gariape, Irishmen, Germans, and Eoglishmen, sud tho majority of them wore not citizsne of the United Bratee, + himself commanded.and several of Ms chief ofticors were Bpaniarde.Tha steamer ++ Pampero\u201d\u2019 was the vessol engaged for the enterprise.and she stealthily sailed from New Orleans carly in the moraing of Aug.1, 1831, Touching at Kcy West, she steered for the coast of Ouba,and landed between the 11th and 13th of Augnst et Playtae, within about twenty leagues of Havans.The main body marched to Los Pasor, about six leagues distant.and the rest of the force, under the command of Col.W.8.Crittenden, » young American of 8 geed family, were left in charge of the bag.rage.Criteende lempted to form & cou- nection with the à body, and was assailed cn (be mornicg of the 13th by à Spanish force, sad a fierce battle ensued.Bravely ountest- fog every foot of ground, Criitendon aad his force retreated to the place of lauding, aud be and GRty of his men suocesded in gettlag into four boats, and endeavored to escape, They wete picked up Aug.15 near the Caban shore by the Spanish war steamer \u2018! Havanon,\u201d crulting in the neighborhood, and carcled to Havana, Lop:r and the main body of the expedition had an engagement at Los Pagos, & few miles from the cosst, in which a considerable number of Spaniards were killed.After another bloody battle he waa defeated, and In thele Teireat the best portion of his command were killed.wounded or captured.He was him- soll taken prisoner shortly afterward, aud the remainder of his men who did not die from bardship, exposnte, sad starvation in the mountains, wero made captives.Crittenden and tho rest of the men taken prisoners by the Spanish steamer were brought to Havana [a the night, and, after » hasty telat, were shot at 110.m.the next morning, before the Castle of Ataree.The execution was witasssed by nearly 20,000 people.Young Crittenden, Yictor Kerr, and the whole of the party met thele fate with rare berotsmm.Tbe prisoners were marched to the place of sf ter in parties of twelve, and six wore sl atime.You Crittenden refused to kes!
