Van Diemen returned to the United States, but his wife soon became homesick for her native land, and, like a good husband as he was, he went once more to Mexico. This time he settled in Santa Fé, where he accumulated a handsome fortune, lived in the best house in the city, and owned haciendas.

He's eco . . . he's eco . . . you know my Lord! where's my brains? but he's upright 'nomical!" "An economical man," said Fellingham, with sedate impatience. "My dear sir, I'm heartily obliged to you for your assistance," returned Van Diemen.
The sound of sawing attracted him to Crickledon's shop, and the industrious carpenter soon put him on the tide of affairs. Crickledon pointed to the house on the beach as the place where Mr. Van Diemen Smith and his daughter were staying. "Dear me! and how does he look?" said Fellingham. "Our town seems to agree with him, sir." "Well, I must not say any more, I suppose."
Van Diemen Smith was a convict, and my benefactor. Why the deuce he was so fond of that name, I can't tell you; but his dying wish was for me to take it and carry it on. He left me his fortune, for Van Diemen Smith to enjoy life, as he never did, poor fellow, when he was alive. The money was got honestly, by hard labour at a store.

"I feel it, if it's in the wind; ever since Mart Tinman spoke the thing out, I've felt on my skin cold and hot."
Again it freshened up and blew a perfect hurricane, accompanied by heavy rain, and a "prodidgeous high sea," which caused the ship to go greatly to leeward. On the 30th, Cape Maria van Diemen was seen about six leagues off, the land extending east and south.
"Now," rejoined Tinman, "I am offended. I like money, like most men who have made it. You do, Philip. But I don't come courting like a pauper. Not for ten thousand; not for twenty.
