washed high and dry on the beach. The other three 

 men never reached the shore, making in all eleven souls 

 who perished. As soon as Captain Graham gathered 

 his senses together, he looked aroiind in hopes of 

 seeing a habitation, but, excepting a straw hut some 

 distance along the beach, notliing of the kind was in 

 sight. In this shed he remained all night, walking up 

 and down to keep himself warm. Some hours after he 

 had been here, his dog, which had been washed over- 

 board from the wreck, rushed into the hut, wild with 

 delight at again finding his master. 



In the morning he managed partially to cover him- 

 self with an old mat he found in the hut, and on going 

 a short distance along the sand he saw a man approach- 

 ing. The man, however, was so astonished at Captain 

 • Graham's appearance that he made off as fast as he 

 could. Shortly afterwards he again appeared, and by 

 signs was made to understand what had happened; 

 he at once then led the shipwrecked man to a village 

 a quarter of a mile off, called Tago. Here the natives 

 gave him some warm water to drink, as he was not 

 yet able to eat anything. Then followed a series of 

 acts of kindness and forethought on the part of the 

 natives far too numerous to relate. Some few I will 

 give, but it can only convey a faint idea of the reality.
