nE VENTUUKD TO WAKE MR UP AND RELATE

HIS FEARS.

pivot and good supply of small arms. There were uo pirates to be afraid of, but the natives on many of the islands would not have hesitated to cut out throats to secure the vessel and cargo. The voyage which I urn going to tell you about was made in 1882. Wo were loaded with sugar, tobacco, rum, clothes, tin and crockery ware, 1,000 iron cooking kettles, cutlery, flour, soap and lots of other merchandise wanted by islanders. In some instances we could sell for cash. In others we took dyowoods, copper ore, roots, barks, furs, spices and gums in exchange. These articles were conveyed to Australia, and from thence distributed all over the world. We had been out three days when some of the men heard a knocking on the midship hatch, and npoft the fact being reported to the captain ho ordered the cover taken off. When this had been done, out crawled a boy about 14 years old who had stowed himself away the day we left Melbourne. Ho was ragged, unwashed and gaunt as a wolf. The captain wits for giving him a rope’s ending at once, for all sailors consider such an action as deserving of severe punishment, but the lad looked so miserably lonesome and forlorn that I interceded for him. After ten minutes of swearing and threatening the captain letup, but warned the lad that ho would 1»o left on the first island wo touched at. When the boy* had been washed and fed, he presented a far more favorable appearance. He gave his name as Charlie Dean, his age as Hand his native place as Rochester. He had run away from home a year before and gone to New York city and shipped on an American vessel bound for Australia. He had encountered such rough usage that he deserted the ship on her arrival, and for several months after was knocking about as a vagrant, being twice sent to jail on short sentences. Fully determined to get away tit any hazard, he had come aboard of ns as we were taking in the last of the cargo and found opportunity to secrete himself. The captain was a man to carry out his word, hut something happened to prevent. The cook, who was an American negro, was taken ill next day after the boy appeared, and Charlie not only promptly volunteered to take hold, but. did so well under instructions as to win the captain’s favor. In about a week the cook died, and then ■we had to depend on the boy. Ho was entered on the ship’s papers as cook at ffl per month, fitted out with a suit of clothes cut over by one of the men, and he soon became a general favorite aboard. You will perhaps think it strange, but ho was a lad without vices. He neither smoked, chewed, drank nor used profane language, and one more willing to oblige I never saw. His excuse for leaving homo was that a drunken stepfather constantly abused him, and I doubt not he told the truth. We called at New Caledonia, touched at two of the Loyalty islands and finally brought up at the isle of Vatoa, which is one of the Fiji group. Wo had never visited this island before on account of its bad reputation among traders. It has a population of about 4,000 people, who Boom to bo a sort of cross between a Boruese and a negro. In the year lH78they captured a trading schooner called tho Wave and killed her crew of five men. In tho same year they attacked a brig trading from New Caledonia, but were

beaten off.

Tho king of the island went by the j curious name of Tom John. Wo met him at ono of tho Loyalty islands, and ho assured ns that his people had seen the error of their ways atid reformed, and that he was anxious that this change of heart should be known to all traders. Ho wanted lots of goods, and it was by his pressing invitation, together with his solemn assurances of protection, that 5ve laid our conrso for the Fijis. Ho reached home half a day ahead of us in his own native craft. Tho only harbor in the island is on the south side, and that is it fine one. The eutranoe to it is not over 200 feet wide, with heavy forest on either bank, but once iusido the bay opens out like a lake and forms a basin a mile or so across. At the north end of this basin is the king’s town, which is called Bwngwang. As a matter of fact, it is tho only town on the island. Tho king had a pilot waiting to take us in, and tho fellow insisted that we cross the basin and'anchor directly in front of the town. This the captain would not consent to. About the center of the basin wo found anchorage in 80 feet of water, and there wo brought up. Tho hay being landlocked, wo did not clew up and furl down as we should have done out

side, but left things ready to bo cast off at a moment’s notice. It was our rule never to allow more than six natives aboard at once, and when this was stated to the king he agreed that it was a wise one and instructed his people ao-! cordingly. We made him presents, flattered his vanity and started in to do a big trade. Eveything had to come out to ns by canoo, and our merchandise I had to go ashore the same way. This made it slow work, but we felt it to be the only safe plan. It was several days before trade slackened off, and one evening tho king came aboard and asked us to remain a couple of days longer, as a large number of his women and chil-1 dren were gathering medicinal roots to exchange for more kettles. The captain was glad enough to hold on as long as there was anything coming in for barter, and the king and his bodyguard. were so delighted at his decision to re-1 main that wo ought to have suspected some motive stronger than trade. Up to this time nothing had ocenr- j red to make us suspect treachery. The captain and I had been ashore several times to bo treated with tho greatest j deference, and the natives who had boarded us did not need watching. Tom John had given out that if a man stole | from ns even to the value of an inch ol ( wire he should be brained with a club. The king was accompanied by three of his court escort, and wo afterward re- j membered that they appeared to be more j interested in the windlass, cable and the spare anchor on the rail than in all else i about tho craft. A pressing invitation was given ns to attend a royal feast on shore that evening, a sort of “blowout” to prove the friendship of the islanders, but as the captain was not feeling well | he declined to accept. Tom John and his friends appeared to be very much disappointed and upset that we were not to go, but when they left the brig it was with tho understanding that the feast ; should come off a day or two later. The night came down very dark, with the promise of a change of weather. Every night we had had two armed men on watch, while tho cannon was loaded with canister and the muskets ready at ! hand in case of an alarm. There were 80 canoes drawn np on the beach, and the adult male population of the town counted up at least 860. For arms they had a few old muskets, but depended i mostly on blow guns, lances and bows and arrows. Aside from these every | man had a knife. As cook Charlie Daan had no work aloft and very little to do 1 on deck except to pull at a rope now and then, this night at midnight the boy went on duty as a sentinel on the fo’- j ! castle. At about 1 o’clock everything aboard and ashore beingtjniet, thosailor who was acting as sentinel on the quar- ! ter deck called the lad to him and j claimed to be ill and went to his bunk j

and turned in for a nap.

This left only one watcher, and it was a fortunate tiling for us that young Dean was wide awake and returned to his ; post on tho fo’castlo. He had been on watch alono less than an hour when Infelt, as he afterward explained it, that something was wrong with tho anchor or cable. He aroused the man who had j left tho deck, but was ridiculed for his foars and ordered to return to his station. Ten minutes litter, having heard j suspicious noises over the bows, lie ven- 1 tnre.d to wake me up and relate his fears. I went on deck with hint, and after listening for a few minutes became satisfied that something queer was going on and called the captain, who at once ordered the sleepers among the

crew to be turned out.

The black rascals were trying a trick j worthy of a Yankee. Tho tide would begin to flow at 2 o’clock. Four of their j largest canoes had paddled quietly out to the anchor, divers had gone down with ropes, and they were lifting it off the ground to let tho brig be drifted i ashore with the tide. Wo couldn't see ten feet into the night, but we came to this conclusion from the feel of things, 1 and we didn’t reach that conclusion a minute too soon. I went down into the i cable tier and softly knocked out tho shackle pin, while the captain saw that

not escaped to sea. Every man was tola what to do, and we put the brig directly for the fleet. When within musket shot, the captain opened with canister, and later on we used our muskets to good advantage. In passing through the fleet the brig ran down a canoe with nine men in it, and I believe we killed a dozen outright. None waited for a second dose, bnt made for the shore as fust ns possible. In ono of the canoes was the king himself, and one of our crew brought a musket to bear on him and put a bullet into his shoulder. We had won a victory, but the captain was not yet satisfied. W’e had about 80 solid shot in the magazine, and standing back and forth across the basin, as near the town as we dared approach, they were sent whizzing from tho brig gun to knock things into fragments. Every inhabitant fled to the woods as we opened fire, and though we were not using hot shot throe or four fires were kindled, an 1 the biggest part of the town was laid in ashes. Wo had ceased firing for tb^ want of ammunition when a man was discovered on shore making signs to us that ho wanted to be taken off. A look through the glass proved that he was a white man, and I was sent off with a hand in the small boat to reseno him. There was no 8 ar of the | natives attacking us if wo landed, as the roar of the big gun and the havoc ' wrought by tho cannon ball( had given them a fright they would not get over for a whole day. I found tho man to be Captain John Greene of the schooner

Wave above referred to.

Tho story had gone out that the entire crew of the schooner had been massacred, but the captain had escaped death to be held a prisoner and to be treated worse than any slave. The king hart lost

after an hour's work had loosened his ; charming young girl who is deeply in

bonds and crawled down to the shore to signal us. What buildings hart been spared we applied tho torch to, and before tho brig sailed away everything was in flames. Tho plot to massacre us originated with the king, who declared that it could not fail. Tlte fact that it did fail so incensed the people against Tom John that ho lost, his head before the brig was out of sight. As for the boy Charlie Dean, wo not only gave him a substantial proof of our gratitude for saving tho craft and all hands, but upon our return to Australia we fitted hint out in good shape and sent him home by a vessel bound for New York

POURED ITS CONTENTS INTO THE APPROACHING CRAFTS. the end of tho cable went overboard without noise, being lowered by a rope. At the same time men were sent aloft to loosen the sails, and wo got steerage way on the brig just in time to save her. Some of the fellows must have been nearer than wo imagined, for as we headed across the basin they raised an alarm, a score of torches were lighted simultaneously, and three canoes full of men came dashing at our port bow. The captain and Charlie Dean slewed tho gun around and poured its contents into the approaching crufts, and the discharge was followed by such shrieks and yells as I never want to hear again. We dared not risk tho attempt to leave the harbor with the darkness so thick around us and the breeze shifting about so unsteadily, and for the next two hours we were boxing about the basin and expecting an attack any moment. When daylight came, tho wind settled into tho north and was fair for a run out. The captain wanted to teach tho heathen a lesson first, however. There was a fleet of a dozen canoes coming out for us, and the follows w<-re no doubt pleased and surprised that we had

Lawyers. One may be a good lawyer and barely earn salt in New York, notwithstandh the hue and cry frequently raised ab nt exorbitant lawyers’ fees. To be successful in the full sense of the word a member of the profession must be a remarkable or eminent lawyer. There is any amount of legal business to bo done; but, alas! for the hopes of the numerous good but unknown lawyers, the business is placed in the hands of a limited few, in deference perhaps to the prevailing fad or fashion which is encouraging tho growth of trusts, corporations and other huge business combinations. Of course the fees asked by the favored few who have reached the point of eminence and renown are largo, often extraordinarily so, bnt then, again, the corporations that employ them are rich and liberal. It is, however, an undeniable fact that only a lawyer of proved ability, exalted reputation and a long record of successful suits can secure tho handling of important cases.—Home and Country. MlHtakes of Hank Clerk*. All the clerks in the Bank of England who are concerned in the payment of money are allowed la lid. a day to cover mistakes. As a rule, a careful clerk can manage to keep this intact for himself, but there are some serious exceptions. A new clerk one day was deficient in tho sum of £2, which he had to make up, but was overjoyed a fe5V days later to discover he was exactly that sum to the good, having paid some one short. His joy was somewhat damped on fiuding that tho bank did not allow him to set off one amount against tho other. Ko far the bank plays the game of “heads I win, tails yon lose. ” The bank clerks complain that, although they are daily asked to make np deficiencies which Ihe public say they suffer, tin re is not on record a case v\ hero the public have brought back an overpay menl. —Ilondon Globe.

Ho hero uses “heap” in yocisely tl.e sense given It by people in southern Indiana, iu Georgia, in Texas and g- n erally over a largo part of tho United States. This sense of the word is vety primitive. I believe tho Century Dictionary gives tho sense of u crowd or throng as tho earliest meaning of the word.
