Mark them, as with clumsy fingers they clear their drowsy eyes ; slowly they rise on their feet. See how the lubbers stretch out their arms and yawn; you shrink back, for verily 'that throat might frighten a, shark.' But the master, soon recollecting that so many eggs are worth a dollar or a crown, casts his eye towards the rock, marks the day in his memory, and gives orders to depart. The light breeze enables them to reach another harbour, a few miles distant.; one which, like the last, lies c...oncealed from the ocean by some other rocky isle. Arrived there, they react the scene of yesterday, crushing every egg they can find. For a week each night is passed in drunkenness and brawls, until, having reached the last breeding-place on the coast, they return, touch at every isle in succession, shoot as many birds as they need, collect the fresh eggs, and lay in a cargo. At every step each ruffian picks up an egg, so beautiful that any man with a feeling heart would pause to consider the motive which could induce him to carry it off.
