Driven Off ty a Woman.

By CHARLES B. LEWIS <M. QUAD'. (Copyright, 1894, by Charles B. Lewis.l On my first voyage from London to Porto Rico in the bark C^iieen I found Captain Doyle so kind hearted as to puzzle me. Throughout that voyage we had prayers every Sunday, and neither of the mates struck a man a blow. Only ' two or three times did either of them let fly a curse. The provisions were all that any sailor could ask for both in quantity and quality, and. what was more singular yet, the bark carried two more men than her tonnage called for. That made easy work in handling the sails and gav** us watch and watch from start to finish. There were men aboard who had sailed in 50 different ships, but they had never met with such decent treatment before. In fact, it was such a novelty that the carpenter, who was 00 years old, bnt still a hearty man, said to us as we were on the return voyage: “This 'ere treatment isn't nateral. It's agin custom. There hasn't been no cussin and knockin down, and sun thin had has got to come from it. It's my opinion that she will go down with all hands ou her next v'yage, and that bein my opinion I shan't ship in her.” The Queen had a cargo awaiting her in London for Charleston, and as Captain Doyle was her full owner he engaged eight able seamen to make the next voyage with him. This did not in-

SHE BEGGED HIM TO SHOOT I S DOWN, elude the mates, nor would the carpenter sign articles. The bark was three weeks discharging cargo and reloading, and during this interval the captain, who was a widower and about 40 years old, took ii second wife. The woman he married was a widow of 30 whom he had been courting for a couple of years. The first we knew of the marriage was when he brought her aboard, two days before sailing. I expect she had been as soft as butter and kept her claws out of sight previous to marriage, but she hadn't been aboard two hours when every Jack Tar of us was feeling sorry for him. It was said that she had a tidy bit of money in hank, and that the captain had made a strike in marrying her, but that might have been all talk. She was tall, angular, plain faced and sharp nosed, and her voice was high pitched and calculated to put one’s nerves on edge. She hadn't been aboard half an hour before she was finding fault over a dozen different things, nor did she have the sense to lower her voice when telling the captain that she'd have things different or go ashore and never set eyes on him again. A sailor will always hold that a woman has no business aboard of a sailing ship, whether captain's wife or passenger, but in this case we were so put out that the whole crew came near clearing over the rail. But for the hope that she would be tamed down by seasickness, coupled with a feeling of gratitude and respect for the captain for our good treatment on the previous voyage, the six old hands would surely have left him. Before we were out of the docks that woman was everywhere but up aloft. Hhe not only penetrated to cook’s galley and fo'castle, where even the captain himself would not have been welcome, but she found a deal of fault and ordered certain changes and criticised the ap|>earauce of many of the crew. But for her we should have gone out as well found as before, but with my own ears I heard her say to her husband: “Reuben Doyle, everybody knows that you are too good natured and easy going for your own good. I’m going to see to it that you are no longer imposed on. You shall discharge the two extra men, and I will see to the provisions myself. We will not begin our career by casting money into the sea.” Some husbands would have furled her sails for her very smartly, but it was evident from the first hour she came aboard that the captain was afraid of her. To our surprise he dropped off two men, as she suggested, and our first meal at sea proved that she had practiced rigid economy in the matter of provisions. Instead of having the best, as before, the meat and biscuit appeared to have come from condemned stores, while the tea and molasses would not have passed muster on a collier. Before we were off soundings the woman had quarreled with both mates, and by the time we got fairly at sea she was, as one might say, in full possession of the ship, and every sailor aboard was thoroughly disgusted with her conduct. Most of the men were inclined to regard her as a bit off in her mind, and for this reason action on our part was delayed longer than would otherwise have been the case. She had never been afloat in her life, and we had heavy weather from the start, and yet she was not seasick for a minute. As an excuse for what happened later on 1 must tell you of some of her doings. While the provisions were totally unfit to eat, she insisted on dealing them out with her own hands and cutting the lawful allowance square in two. Owing to her meddling, we could not have watch and watch below. Because the second mate gave her a bit about meddling she had him turned out of the cabin. The captain hung off about it.

ami what ltd she <lo but bnng her beu on deck aud vow that she would not enter the cabin again until the mate was turned out. She took a personal dislike to several of the men liefore the mast, and. queerly as it may read to you, she would come forward to berate and abuse them. She couldn’t prevail on the captain to quarrel with Mr. Bronson, the first mate, for giving her a bit of his mind one day, but she succeeded in making things so unpleasant for that officer that he cursed all womankind. We were nine days out when a climax came. Every man of the crew went aft and demanded of the captain that his wife be suppressed. He certainly realized that everything was iff loose ends, and that never had a peaceful ship had greater confusion aboard, bnt he had no promises to make. He was as clay in her hands. She stood beside him, and when our spokesman had finished she let fly her temper, and of all the tongues possessed by woman hers wagged the fastest and poured forth the most bitterness. She even went so far as to bring the captain's pistols from the cabin and beg of him to shoot us down. The mates stood apart, inclined to neither side, hut they did not escape her tongue. She called us idlers and robbers, who had been imposing on good nature and growing fat in our laziness, and declared that when the ship reached Charleston we should be discharged and might whistle for our wages. We had gone aft simply to protest, everybody hoping that matters would be righted, but when at length Captain Doyle sided in with his wife and ordered us forward every man was full of mutiny. Without either orders or protests from the mates we swung the yards and hove the bark to and declared that we would not lift hand again until our complaints were remedied. This happened one afternoon at 3 o’clock. The captain declared it a mutiny and set a signal of distress with his own hands, and from that hour to 10 o'clock next forenoon the bark lay hove to, and not a stroke of work was done. We expected to bring the woman to time, but as the hours went by her temper grew worse. She took possession of the cook's galley with a pistol in her hand, and we got no supper. When morning came, we found the door locked and all the cooking utensils Carried aft. It was such a case as no one had ever met with before, and therefore we were as apt to go wrong as the other way. What we did do at 10 o’clock next forenoon was to lower away the longboat, stock her with water and provisions anil head for the Azores. The captain threatened, and the woman actually fired a shot at one of the men, hut we took what we wanted aud got away, leaving only the mates and steward behind. We left the bark hove to, with her signal flying, hut no sail in sight, and as long as we were in hearing the woman continued to berate us. We ran the craft out of sight under a moderate breeze, which was drifting her away to the west, but at sundown it fell a dead calm, and we did not move a cable’s lenvth all night. When morning came, we got a southeast gale an 1 had to lie to and drift off before it for 20 hours. Then it shifted to the southwest and gave us all we could do to manage, and at midnight as we were driving to the northeast we came near hanging into the Queen, which had lost a topmast and been otherwise badly used. By the aid of her second mate, who was alone on the deck, we got aboard without any one in the cabin being the wiser for it till next morning. The signal of distress had brought no assistance, aud the heavy weather and damage to the craft had taken the temper out of the cabin virago. The captain came forward and said that if we would turn to all would be forgiven, aud though the woman came on deck she kept clear of us and had nothing to say. We turned to after breakfast and got things shipshape and put the hark on her course. During our absence she had not sighted a sail, bnt the day after our return she passed no less than three, which would have stopped to relieve her distress had the signal been flying. For three days we made fine runs, and everything went well aboard. The cook was reinstated, the woman sent us provisions from the cabin stores, and no one had a word of complaint. On the morning of the fourth day, however, the captain's wife broke loose again. She gave her husband a long and vivid blessing irttii then turned on the mates, and before she got through every man aboard had come in for a bit of her tongue. Something she said to Mr. Broneon. who had charge of the morning watch, brought out a sharp reply from him,

“OF COU3RE YOU’LL COME ABOARD.” and what did she do but get a pistol from the cabin and fire a bullet into his leg. It would be chivalrous in me to declare that she must have been out of her mind, but nothing ailed her except an uncontrollable temper. She got so mad she couldn’t utter a word. Had the ca) tai 1 walked her into a stateroom and lock d hemp there would have lieen no trouble, but instead of that he sided with her ai d finally became abusive. You can’t call it mutiny. When we saw that things were even worse than

Detore, tne crew aetermineu to take to the longboat again. The second mate and steward were with us this time, and the first mate would have been bnt for his wound. We made everything snug, set a signal of distress and hove the Queen to, and captain, wife and mate were the only people left aboard of her as we sailed away. We ran to the south again, holding that course until we had made a hundred miles. Then the breeze died out, and again we had a calm night. At sunrise we got a piping gale from the east and went drifting off exactly as before. At noon we were overhauled by an English merchantman, but the sea was so heavy that we could not Vie taken aboard, and by and by she left ns. All day and all night we drifted to the west, and then as the gale blew itself out we sighted and boarded a derelict. She proved ’.o be the Boston brig Wanderer, which had waterlogged and been abandoned a hundred miles away three days before. You may have read of her case in the public prints. Her decks w u re nearly awash when her crew were taken off, and it was expected she would go down any moment. Floating kelp had sucked into the leak and left her drifting. We pumped her dry. got a sail over the side to stop further leakage and seta true course for Charleston. She was all right aloft and had plenty of provisions alaiard, and for 30 hours we had not the slightest doubt of carrying her safely into port. At 10 o’clock at night, while she was under full sail in a light breeze, she was run into by a whale, and so quickly did she fill and go to the bottom that we got into the longboat wit bon* a drop of water or a bit of biscuit. We were not 200 feet away when she went down. After a consultation it was decided tl head up to the north to get in the track of vessels bound from English ports to New York, and vice versa, and at 10 o’clock next forenoon we sighted a sail. As true as I live, we ran down to it to find ourselves once more alongside the Queen, and walking the quarter deck as large as life was that same termagant who had twice driven us away. The bark had drifted many a mile since we left her, bnt we had sailed straight down upon her as if she were a haven of safety. As Mr. Bronson was still asleep in his cabin and the captain was not in sight we lay off and on, not knowing just what course to pursue. The woman appeared to take no notice of us for a few minutes, but then suddenly came to the rail and shouted: “What are you lazy villains doing out there in that boat?” “Shall we come aboard, ma'am?" asked the mate in reply. “Come aboard? Of course you'll come aboard, and don’t let the grass grow under your feet either.” “What’s it to be, ma’am?" queried the

mate.

“What’s what to be? Get aboard here and get to work, for the captain is sick abed, Mr. Bronson too lazy to draw a long breath, and I can’t sail the ship to Charleston alone.” The sea looked mighty wide and the bark mighty inviting, and the result was that we tumbled aboard. Mr. Bronson was glad enough to see us, but the woman began scolding in the same old fashion as soon as we were over the rail. We got the bark on her course, cleaned uji the decks, and then came the question of what was to happen if we sailed her into port. The lawyers and the courts might get ns into a pretty pickle unless we had some guarantee from the captain. A messenger was sent to the cabin, but the conduct of his wife had not only worried him into a fever, but she had blackened one of his eyes and scratched his face. He left it all to her, and she called us aft and stood with her hands on her hips and

said:

“You villains deserve hanging, but when we get to Charleston I'll jiay you off and let you go where you will. That’s all. Go to work.” Everybody was paid off when we reached port, and nothing of the case ever got into the pajiers. On her return voyage the Queen went down, with all bands. In other words, Providence came to the captain’s relief, and I doubt not that most of the crew also welcomed the change. Preparing Wool For Market. You ask my method of preparing wool for buyers. It seems the best authorities would be the buyers themselves. I have sold my small lot of wool for nearly a lifetime to the same factory in Lexington, Ky., but I have learned that what they want is wool clear of burs and hayseed and other trash. They claim that unequal feeding, reducing the flash of the sheep, makes an uneven strength of fiber and uneven eloth as well, injurious to manufacture. They want the fleece delivered unbroken that it may be sorted by experts to suit the fineness of the cloth. I try to please purchasers and conform to thvir will, not mina Yet the sheep are better for this. 1 nnike platforms for the shearers of large useless doors, which aro better than fixtures or elastic planks which aid the sheep to tangle the wool in turning over. The tags are cut off liefore the fleece, and thus its fracture is avoided. In consequence I get about 3 cents per pound more than careless breeders, and that 3 cents is clear profit. When the coat is off, it is spread on the doors and done up in three layers rolled closely together am) tied once with strong twine. This is better than two ties, which may lo<iseii the wool in crowding it into the sacks for transportation, the approach to a ball being best. That nothing may be wasted the tags are given away or washed on the shares and put into separate bags and labeled. Tlie tags are then worth as much as the full fleece. Every sensible man takes care in small savings. They are pure profits and gi 11 erally make the rich in all lands. And finally trash and burs break the continuity of the wool and allow cold and rains to injure the sheep, which are clothed with wool by nature because they are sensitive to climatic changes.— Cassius Maroellus Clay in Breeder’s Ga1 sett i.

So far as the etiquette of the signature is concerned there is one unvarying rule for women, married or single. It is never right nor good form to sign one’s name with the addition of Miss or Mrs., says Harper's Bazar, which says: You are Mary Emily Jones, not Mrs. Patrick Fitzgerald Jones, to whomsoever you may be writing. If it be necessary to notify your correspondent of your married stylo end estate, you may do so in one of several ways. Please observe that a correspondent should not be left in doubt as to This, much embarrassment being frequently caused by the omission in letters between strangers of exact in-1 formation as to whether the writer is

married or single.

You may easily indicate all you wish , to tell. You may place Mrs. P. F. be- ! fore the Mary Emily aforesaid in parenthesis. You may write Mrs. Patrick Fitzgerald out fully and plainly in the left hand corner of your sheet below your proper signature, or you may simply inclose your engraved visiting card in your letter, this being on the whole the most elegant and also the most cf 1venient method of showing one’s relation to society. The exception must be remarked here that the visiting card is out of place in an exclusively business letter, one which lias not even remotely a social

bearing.
