By CHARLES E. LEWIS <M. QUAD). [Copyrijrbt U94, l.y ('h.-.rlcs B. Lewis.) In the siiriii.st ot is:.st tlio I'liKlish >>riit Tempest, iHinutl from Liverpool to Valparais , met her fate in a singular manner when her voyage v. as almost completed. ()!!« afternoon when wo were driving alonn at the rate of eight knots per hour and all was going well the brig was suddenly lifted almost out of water, and there were a crash and a smash which told of irreparable damage to her bottom. The idea with everybody was that we had struck a derelict or a floating tree, but after a minute a . "T.

We had a cargo of light goods, or tho brig would have gone down like a stone. As it was, we had only ton minutes to get clear of tier. When sho went down, shn listed over to port, and we saw that 20 foot of her keel had been broken off and a score of planks crushed and splintered. About sundown wo were picked up by a coaster and two days later were land-
ed at Valparaiso.
I had boon in port for a couple of weeks and was about to ship on a Scotch craft when 1 fell in with Captain Enos Strong of New Bedford. Ho was part owner of a small bark named the Curlew and had been lying in the port for six weeks waiting for a charter. Three ; days before I tm t him ho bad decided to go up the coast to Callao, but 21 l.^urs 1 iter had reason t.> change his j mind. There had come aboard of his j craft at night a native woman about 40 1 years of age who bad disguisi d herself ; ns a man. She was a si rvant in the j family of General Mendoza, the richest i and most powerful family, with two . exceptions, in Chile. Three years pro- | vionsly the general, who was then ('>5 years old, had married in Spain, his bride being the daughter of a rich and
influential man at the capital.
The bride was only 17 years of ago at the time and had been allowed no voict in the affair. As a matter of course, she hated and detested tho general, and after living with him for three years had conceived a bold and startling plan. Her trusted servant had come aboard of the Curlew to arrange with Captain Strong, if possible, to carry oflf tho wife and a couple of servants and her belongings. She didn’t want to return to Spain, but would go to England or the United States. If Captain Strong was afraid of complications, ho might land her in tho West Indies, Mexico or even on an island in midocean. Tho general’s young wife had boxes of jewelry and bags of gold, and if Captain Strong would consent to take her away ho
could name his own price.
Ninety-nine men out of a hundred would have promptly refused to enter upon such an adventure, but Captain Strong as promptly declared that ho would carry tho general’s wife to the
north polo if she paid his juice.
The offer was accepted and plans discussed that same night, and it was because Captain Strong was looking for a picked crew that 1 encountered him or even knew of his presence in Valparaiso. He told mo nothing whatever about his scohmo. On the contrary, ho rattled off a yarn about having been hired to carry off two political prisoners who were under sentence of death. The crew were to receive double jiay, ask no questions
and do no talking.
In the course of threo days ho picked up a crew to his liking. Five men would have been a fair crow for the bark, but ho bad engaged nine of us. On tho day we were *!> ~;»’l be brought aboard 2“ muskets and a lot of ammunition, and slop oii'peuiefg wore ac workUill day in the cabin. A dozen things occurred to
We were ott as soon as tne people were aboard, and on getting our ofting tho brig’s head was pointed to tho south instead of the north. There was no rca sou to fear jiursnit before the genera! returned to find his wife gone, and he was not expected back for a week. However, daylight had no sooner come than Captain Strong had us all at work to disguise the bark. Her bull bad been painted white as she lay in port. We got out thi 1 jiots and brushes and g:i>o her a coat of jet black, and before night she was tho Albatross of Liverpool, Sho had been furnished with new sails at Valparaiso. We nnbent these and bent on her old suit, and such other changes were made alow and aloft as to make her look altogether a different craft from the Curlew. Captain Strong’s foresight in thus overhauling the bark saved us from capture before wo even sus-
pected danger.
General Mendoza must have returned the morning after Ids wife’s flight, or when his servants found her missing and gave the alarm some of his friends must have taken prompt measures to overhaul her. I have never solved that point, but I do know that fishermen gave information which led to pursuit. A tugboat was dispatched to the nortn and a government steamer to the south, and it was with this latter we had to do. At sundown on our first day out the wind died away, and during the night we did not make ten miles. Next day the breeze was light and headed us, and we were almost standing still when the steamer was hove up astern. Captain Strong had no reason to believe that he was pursued, but he did not propose to take any chances. He was wearing full whiskers and a big mustache. As soon as tho steamer was sighted ho went to his cabin and shaved his face clean, and the change was so great that his own wife would have passed him by on the street. Tho first mate, who had been about Valparaiso
I for several weeks, also wielded the ra-
zor, and a sailor named Thompson and myself were called aft, told to dress up
! in suits belonging to the mates and
play the jiart of jiassengers. Wo had
i two hours to arrange our plans, and no | one apprehended any danger when the
steamer overhauled us and requested that we lie to while she sent a boat
I aboard. The three women were locked 1 in their staterooms, every piece of bag- ; gage hidden from eight, and Ihe naval ' lieutenant who boarded us found the
men at work on the rigging, tho two
; passengers smoking the captain’s cigars i on the quarter deck and nothing what-
: over to excite su-pieinu. Ho was polite iio>s itself, but to tell the truth he was also a liar. Ho claimed to lx‘ after the
! Curlew because she had given passage
to several political outlaws, and he did not even hint at the flight of General Mendoza's wife. What he wanted of us was information, hut of course Cajitain
Strong had none to give.
Tho lieutenant was invited into the cabin to partake of a glass of wine, and when he pulled off for the steamer he was profuse in his ajKilogies for the de lay ho had caused. While aboard of ns be claimed to be able to identify Captain Strong on sight and added that half the crow of the steamer could tell the Curlew a league distant. As soon I as he reach* d his craft sho turned about and steamed to tho south, and when hull down tho three women came on deck for the first time. The older one was a relative and companion, the younger a maid. Tho general’s wife was not a handsome woman, as wo of
wiiile we were scarcely making headway, she was sighted astern just as we were opjiosite Cajie St. Antonio. Every me aboard suspected her to lie in j>nrsuit, and then and there began an ocean chase lasting for weeks and covering
thousands of miles of distance. < )ne day when we were d iwn almost
to the Horn it fell calm. The Chatham was not more than three miles astern when the wind died away. We looked for the Englishman to get out his lx ats and pay us a visit, and after waiting half a day he decided to ptirsnc that plan. Two boats filled with men jnil off to overhaul us, and we had mu le every jireparation to give them a warm reception, and they were within a mile of ns, when a breeze suddenly sprang

a week before.
When the bark came about, with her head to the northeast, there was an overhauling of water and provisions. An extra quantity had been laid in be- i fore leaving Valparaiso, but wo were at once put on half rations, and Captain ; Strong announced that ho would make | no port until he reached the coast of America. Now we stretched away for j the long run, and hours made days, and days ran into weeks. Day after day the brig followed on in our wake, some- j times gaining and sometimes losing, hut J never closing the gap. Three cr font i times wo lost her rutin ly, or rather she lost us, but only for a few hours. Captain Strong worked every scheme ; suggested to shake the Englishman off, \ but nolle of them proved successful. He j was with ns in storm or calm, when j scudding or lying to. One day wo lo t j onr fore topmast. This would have given j him the advantage, but it wasn't five minutes before ho had two or three sails bl iwu away, and matters won evened up.

When morning came, the brig was out of . sight, but at 3 o'clock in the afternoon j sho picked us up again and oven gained half a mile. Sho clung to ns all the way up the coast and into the gulf of Faria, but there she met ht r'fate. One dark night she was run into by a steamer and sent to the bottom, with all bauds, though we heard nothing of it
for weeks afterward.

Some of these tables have candle rests at both sides of tho mirror, so that by day or night a proper light can be secured. The woman who thinks an ordinary bureau and a brush and comb are quite : sufficient for her daily needs would hardly credit it were she told all that I the up to date woman who arranges her hair at a dressing table considers necessary to enable her to perform such a feat. Silver, ebony, tortoise shell, ivory j and rare china are used for the brushes, \ combs, hand mirrors, buttonhooks, etc. Quite a now thing is to have the taj ble covered with a thick jiiece of beveled plate glass put over tho embroidered toilet cover.

wore to enter upon a Eayatoiious uud perhaps dangerous voyage, but tho offer of double wages silenced all inquiry or aiscussiou. One afternoon tho Curlew cleared for Callao in ballast, and at 10 o’clock in the evening, just as the tide was ready to serve and while we lay at anchor in the harbor, three men came aboard—that is, the two or three of us fo’castlo bauds who assisted them inboard and afterward handled their luggage supposed them to bo men. They disappeared into tho cabin at once. While I got my particulars by piecemeal, I am going to give you tho story as a whole. The threo men, of course, rurned out to be tho runaway wife and her two servants. While the general had gone to some distant jxiint and was ont of the way entirely they had disguised themselves to escape detection in passing through tho city. The Mi »- d.iza residence was three miles from the bay, and tho women had coiuo down through the southern outskirts of the town, followed by their baggage cart, aucflbooii pulled off to us by fishermen ’who were told that they were political conspirators flying to escape tho coun-

As the women got away from the house without being detected, and ns the fisherman could bo depended on to keep silence, Captain Strong flattered -himself that he had made a good start.
one. Aside from the two government craft at Valparaiso when wo left, there were a dozen or more merchantmen which he could hire to scour the seas, and there was no doubt of further jmrtiuit. At nightfall the wind veered to I tho west and blew fresh, and as we held | our course to the south cajitain, mates and the women were consulting and planning. Early next morning the old sails were sent down one after another and the new ones bent on. When this job had been completed, we got out the jiaint pots and changed the eoler from black to a drab and the namo from the Albatross to the Princess. In a couple of days we had completed tho transfer mation and were satisfied that if boarded again by the same lieutenant ho could not fe« l certain he had ever stepjied
foot on our decks.
Before sailing farther I musii tell you what happened at Valparaiso. Hix different craft left that port in pursuit of us, three going to tho north and three to the south. Of tho three in our wake two wore dull sailers and were never sighted. Tho third, an English brig | named the Chatham, was a fast craft, and her captain seemed to scent oar trail from tiie start. Twenty armed men were put aboard of her before she left, and having the benefit of 'resh winds.
