had treated her rudely. The merchant
smiled wearily, and, promising to in-
quire into the matter, bowed the lady
out.

the merchant to aninquiring visitor. “It
may throw some light upon the subject:

“Do you not learn of many heirs hav-
ing been lost by shipwreck?“ '
"Yes, many. A curious caste and one
of a very adven'tirous cvperience that
has come to my notice was that of the
heirs of .\l lerman Swan. mayor of Hull.
Alderman Swan left estates to the value,
of £20.000 per year. The last surviving
heir was named \\'illiam Swan. He was
found dead in his bed one morning at.
an obscure lodging house in London.
. He had been trying in vain for over
! twenty
years to recover these estacelf
His father before him, whose name was
Richard Swan. went through a terrible
experience because of them. At nine
. years of age he was abducted from home,

carried otf and sold for a slave.
tn order that he should be disinhcrited,
and put on board a brig. This was
wrecked 0a the rocks of Scilly. lie was
afterward taken prisoner by an Algerino
vessel and sold for a slave. Aft“:
four years‘ imprisonment he-was set at'
liberty, but on his attempt to reach
England he was again shipwrecked,
He
finally returned to his native.place in
2‘36, after an absence of about twenty
years. Here he was identified by hi.
nurse in childhood and his father‘s foot-
man. He laid claim to the estates at
once, but having neither money no!
friends was unsuccessful. After his
failure he married and settled in an ob-
scure village near Hull. lie had only
one son, the one who spent his life try—
ing for the estates and who was found
dead in the London lodging-house."
“Do you hear much of specie lost at
sea?" ~
“Yes, frequently; the case of the Bag-
lish ship Lntine is one of the most I!!-
markable. She sailed from Yamouth
Roads on October 9, 1799, with several
passengers and an immense quantity of
treasure. A heavy gale sprang up and
the ship was driven on the outer bankof
the Fly Island passage and wrecked. At:
