One hundred and eighty-seven years have
nearly elapsed since Derrick Won Hoogens-
perg landed at the westernmost point OF
Nantucket Island. He was fresh from the
region OF dykes and bitches, and was seek
ipp the goods and chattes of a rich uncle re-
Gently defunct at Ncwe Amsterdam. The
shin in which Derrick had taken passage,
driven to the eastward of her proper track,
and becalmed, Law so near the land, that he
was fain to 20 on shore in the yawl, and be-
hold for the first time sample of the new
world. He had scarcely disembarked, when
twenty or thirty young and halt tanned lndl-
ans. living concealed to his view on the sun
ny dec!iyity of sandy knoll, happened to
let forth broad horse laugh (at their own
Jokes doubtless, after the manner OF more
civilized benes) which startled his less ad-
yenturous comrades, who had not yet land

utterly astounded, up to his knees in sea-
weed and conch shells.


Recovering from his amazement, Derrick
perceived himself deserted, and instructive
ly delivered most piercing yell OF suppli-

now rowing furiously for the heavy bark,
that lolled lazily upon the drowsy deep like

squat figure waddlng violently along the
beach, clad in short blue coat half covered
with monstrous pearl buttons, long scarlet
vest parted at the neither extremity small
clothes of brown velvet, and boots of uni
form circumference, something similar to
the leathern buckets used by our mod
ern firemen. Both arms were swinging
with prodigious gyration; at the end OF one
appeared hellow hemisphere OF drab col.
ored felt, the broad rim of which was made
to vibrate to and fro in desperate signiiica-
ton of terror and dependency. From the
rear of his bare head, piotuberated cylin'
drical mass of hair. resembling huge car
rot. swathed in casing of ropeyarns--anc
amidst the contortions OF the body to which
| it was attached. this silcious appendagt
played up and down like the pump-brak'
OF a laundering Westindiaman.
