80 MARTIN RATTLER.

“ Behold your beds! I wish you a very good sleep

 

adios |”

So saying, this strange individual sat down at the
table, and was soon as deeply engaged with his large
book as if he had suffered no interruption; while
Martin and Barney, having gazed gravely and ab-
stractedly at him for five minutes, turned and smiled
to each other, Jumped into their hammocks, and were

soon buried in deep slumber.
