Of the other four, one was a 3-pound rifled gun, and three were brought by Lieutenant Ashe, of the Bengal Artillery. Supplies of food were also laid in, but very inadequate to the wants of so large a number of people. The outbreak of the troops commenced on 6th June, when the 2nd Native Cavalry deserted their post, taking with them their horses, arms, colours, and regimental treasure-chest.

Don't speak, sir," said Deck, as he proceeded to remove the straps which bound him, aided by the guide. "Not a sound, sir!" continued the young officer. "You are safe, and so is Miss Morgan, and also the treasure-chest. Not a word!" Win assisted him to sit up on the sofa, and then went into the other front room with Deck.

Why, Tom why, Tom Chist! if we've read this aright, thy fortune is made." Tom Chist stood staring straight at the old gentleman's excited face, and seeing nothing but it in all the bright infinity of sunshine. Were they, indeed, about to find the treasure-chest?

I had my men search them as they laid down their arms, and they found a few trinkets, which I passed over to Mr. Milton." "All we had of any great value was in the treasure-chest which Grace carried away before the servants of sin entered the mansion.

He knocked a hole, therefore, in the lath-and-plaster ceiling of the highest room, and there, sure enough, he came upon another little garret above it, which had been sealed up and was known to no one. In the centre stood the treasure-chest, resting upon two rafters. He lowered it through the hole, and there it lies. He computes the value of the jewels at not less than half a million sterling."

"For I am not a princess to-day!" she said; "I am delicate Ariel, and the long ones get round my feet so I can't run."

"Oh, the old state of affairs couldn't last forever. The Spanish administration wasn't so bad as is generally supposed, yet of course there was too much rapacity and not enough industry. Central America, broadly speaking, was known as the treasure-chest of the world, and there were constant wars and disturbances.

So there's my opinion to ye, plumber, and you can put it in your pockut till required." "Well, I will say, Mac, you're a gentleman," said Carthew, as he helped him to shovel back his winnings into the treasure-chest. "Divil a fear of it, sir, a drunken sailor-man," said Mac.

No one can do the least justice to the great Jacobins who does not realise that to them breaking the civilisation of ages was like breaking the cords of a treasure-chest. And just as for more than a century great men had dreamed of this beautiful emancipation, so the dream began in the time of Keats and Shelley to creep down among the dullest professions and the most prosaic classes of society.

While flying from the people whose declaration of independence had already been written in the blood of the king's troops at Concord, the royal governor Wentworth was embarrassed by a wife and a treasure-chest.
