tine of the most desperate encounters that the annals of the sea have recorded is that of which Capt. Kobert K. Clarke, of the schooner Frank N. M'lmver. is the hero. Cunt. Clarke was

a man of great strength and powerful ,

physique, or he would never have lived to tell the tale of the terrible light in raidoeean that cost him his vessel, the lives of Iiis first and second mates and four sailors. ' The Frank N. Thayer left port on tin. trin from which she never returned

on the llth of February, 18S.', bound for Shanghai. She had on lioard the captain, his wife and daughter, o ulcers and. behides the European crew, R couple of Malays and a Chinaman. They made a gTcat deal of fun of the two half civilized-looking Malays when they came on loard, and treated them with Tery little consideration. The men were lioth of very small stature, and they had long arms and stooping shoulders, so that when they walked about they reminded the other sailors of gorillas or chimpanzees. Hut the sailors found that, if they looked like monkeys, they could also climb like monkeys; that they were as quick in their movements as a couple of cats, and, when it came to a trial of ctli. either of the two little Ma

in vs tvns more than a match for the

strongest man in the forecastle.

On the Jit st of October the Thayer

started for the long homeward journey. It was a tedious trip, under the burning rays of the tropical sun, over the placid blue waters of the Southern Pacific and back around the Horn. Often the vessel lay becalmed for days at a time, and for weeks not another ship was hailed. The sailors, who were natives of northern climes, in spite of the numerous voyages they had made In southern seas were almost overcome by the terrible heat So enervating were tlie rays of the sun that the hands could scarcely move about, but were content to lie all day and night in any shady spot that could be found, and doze the time away. The air by day was stifling, and night brought no relief. It sometimes seemed to the men that they would die from want of a breath of cool air, since the very breezes from the south were almost as hot as the draught from tie blast furnace. The only men who were not affected by the oppressive heat were the two Malays and the Chinaman, who was the captain's fervant. As a consequence, tlie mates put almost all the work upon the former; and the sailors vMrb..i1 most ni thetr duties. SO that

the Malays were kept busy all the time that the others were idling. They never complained, however, and made no resistance to tlie kick and cuffs that the rct bestowed upon them. In fact, the sailor often joked about thu circumstance that the two utroiigest men on board should stand the abuse of the weaker ones. CapL Clarke was unaware of tht Ute of thinga until ctme the tragedy It brought about. The Malay wer almost unable to speak English, and most of the orders that were given tmi translated to tke kr a Spanisa

enemy; and still in grim silence the Malay eluded his grasp, and gradually J forced him down the companion-way, , cutting and slashing him with the , cruel knife on every stair. At the foot of the stairs the captain slipped in a j pool of his own blood and fell back- j ward. In si second the Malay sprang upon him and stabbed him in the chest. Cant. Clarke did not feel Iiis terrible

wounds then as much as he did afterward. He fcoizod tlie Malay and squeezed him so tight that he says ho felt his ribs crack, and then throwing him from him he sprang to his feet. The Malay made another rush at his supposed victim, but the captain shot out his right arm and knocked the Indian to the door ten feet away. Hut liofnri he could seize him'again his

agile adversary had regained Ins feet, and scrambling up the companionway. still holding to his knife, he disappeared for a time. The captain ran into his cabin, told his wife, who had been awakened by the sound of the struggle, that there was lighting going on: and. seizing a

revolver, lie rushed nacK lo snut, tue door from the companion-way to the deck, so that he might have an oppor

tunity to bind up nis wouims. The door commanded a view of the n'lnt holism, and Cant. Clarke caught

sight of an Irishman named Malone at

the wheel. 'Let go of the wheel and come and shut that door!" shouted the captain. "I can't." Malone answered. Come and close that door, or I'll shoot your he shouted to Malone. 'The Indian's behind it. and lie's watching me." called the unfortunate Irishman back. At that moment the Malay, who had been concealed behind tlie door, wait-

the revision. The duty umlertlie law or

increased it to 'J '-10 cents: so that it

appears that the duty now proposed is hierher than the duty which the .McKin

rnt. Clarke was now convinced

that tlie two Malays had captured tho hin. He did not know how many of

miMi were killed, but he came to

the conclusion that he need not expect . t

assistance from any or tnem. ue therefore barricaded all the doors and prepared for a sirge in his cabin. He had plenty of ammunition, and knew that lie had in his own possession all the firearms there were on board. The top of tlie cabin projected four feet aliove the dcck; and there was a window in the side as well as a skylight in the top. He had hardly secured the doors, when the window waa broken in; and he knew tha fight was about to recommence. He was so weak

that lie could not stand up, and he was only able to hold his revolver by taking it in both hands. His wife, however, propped him up in the corner where he could cover the window with the revolver; and then, with her little child, she got into the comor of the room farthest from tho window. Tho Malay who had stabbed the captain evidently bettered that he must have succumbed to his wounds by that time, and in a few moments his savage face peered In at the broken window and disappeared again so quickly that Capt, Clarke did not have time to akoot. In another moment the savage

Clarke was the only man whom they bad not secured, and that lie possessed tin-onlv revolver. Hut when the one

who ran for the cabin started to jump

in at the window the Chinaman fired at him and convinced him to the contmrv. t bou irh he did not hit him. The

Mnlriv then ran into the companion

way, where tho Swede shot him in the

back.

Tin Mnlav fell. Then he rose, ran

nn to the deck, seized a plank, threw

it overboard, and sprang after it into

the sea.

that all his crew were not dead. The
