The first man snatched his hand away, and dropping the quicksilver, saw it scatter into small globules, and then disappear amongst the sand of the beach, a look of serious surprise indicating a suspicion that there was some evil spirit concerned in the affair : but at last they took the quicksilver in theh' hands, and eventually expressed by their looks and exclamations that they had arrived at the conclusion that it was a mystery that " no fellow could understand !
