French, "Pipit obsur," "Pipit spioncelle." Resident and numerous, breeding amongst the rocks and round the coast of all the Islands. It is also common in all the small outlying Islands, such as Burhou, and all the little rocky Islands that stretch out to the northward of Herm, and are especially the home of the Puffin and the Lesser Black-backed Gull.

I have seen examples in the flesh from both Alderney and Herm, in both of which Islands it occurs at least as frequently as it does in Guernsey, though still only as an autumnal visitant. It is included in Professor Ansted's list, but only marked as occurring in Guernsey, and there is one specimen in the Museum. ROUGHLEGGED BUZZARD. Buteo lagopus, Gmelin.

You have not by any chance gone into the preventive service, Monsieur Carré?" he laughed. "Not quite. I'm off to the privateering. It's that I want to speak to your father about." "How then?" he asked with interest, as we walked along towards the great wooden house in the hollow. "How does it concern him?" "Torode of Herm is the cleverest privateer round here, they say.

We sat there in the heather till all the glories faded save our own, till Guernsey and Herm and Jethou sank into the night till Brecqhou was only a shadow, and the Gouliot stream only a sound; and then we went down the scented lanes close-linked, as were our hearts. Jean Le Marchant was sitting in the kitchen with Aunt Jeanne.

Because it pleased him, O Son, to set that in the middle among all souls, as a reward to strive for. Tat. And where hath he set it? Herm. And he commanded him to proclaim these things to the souls of men. Dip and wash thyself, thou that art able, in this Cup or Bowl: Thou that believeth that thou shalt return to him that sent this cup; thou that acknowledgest whereunto thou wert made.

Down Great Russel, between them and Herm, two great ships were driving furiously, with every sail at fullest stretch and the white waves boiling under their bows. Farther out, beyond the bristle of reefs and islets which stretch in a menacing line to the north of Herm, another stately vessel was manoeuvring in advance of

A cross-division will give precedence to the creations of Phidias, Alcamenes, Myron, Euphranor, and artists of that calibre, while the common inartistic jobs can be huddled together in the far corner, hold their tongues, and just make up the rank and file of our assembly. Herm. All right; they shall have their proper places.

As the weeks passed into months, all of the same dull pattern, I lost heart at times, thinking of all that might be happening at home. Sometimes it seemed to me hardly possible that Torode would dare to go on living at Herm and playing that desperate game of the double flags, while somewhere one man lived who might turn up at any time and blow him to the winds.

I saw that I must tell him a part of the truth, at all events, for I should need much help from him. My mind had been running ahead of the boat, and trying the ways in front, and it seemed to me that Jersey was no safe refuge for a forfeited life. Torode of Herm was a name known in all those coasts. The news of his treacheries and uprooting was bound to get there before long.

Right manfully I took up my task, and in a moment the dark sail ran up the mast, Simon undid the fastening and pushed off, and with Jacques cunningly guiding us from the rocks, the boat stole noiselessly from the bay, coasting northward for a space to get away from the Moorish ships that still lay outside, and then, aided by a dim white mist that lay upon the face of the waters and a chill night-breeze, we bore away to the south of Herm and Jethou, whose craggy sides loomed black and terrible as we sailed by.
