'Once when I waa a pirate! •JZ Tbe speaker was an elderly gentleman In correct evening drees, the room a tasteful one, tbe company of infinite reepecUbtlity, the locality at onoe fashionable and exclusive, tLe occasion an unexceptional dinner. To this should be added that the speaker was also the boat.

With these oonditlons self-evident, all that good breeding could do was to receive the statement with a vague smile that might pass for good-humored incredulity or oourteoos sooeptatlon of a simple net. Indeed, I think we all rather tried to convey tbe impression that our host, when be was a pirate—if be ever realty waa one—waa all that a self-respectloR pirate should be, and never violated the oanons of good society. This idea waa, to some extent, erystallised by tbe youngest Miss Jones in the exclamation, 'Oh, now nioel' 'It waa, of course, many years ago, when I was quite a lad.'

We all murmured 'oertainly,' as If piracy wereja natural expression of the exuberance of youth. '1 ought, perhaps, explain the cir oumstanoes that led 1 lite.

'I need not say that these were tbe days when we had not lost our carrying trade, when American bottoms—* 'Que ettea, 'bottoom,' said Legrande, imploringly, to hia other Mend.

Wbeu American bottoms still carried the bulk of freight, at^d the supremacy ofourflag—'

Here Legrande roooraisad a patriotic sentiment and responded to it with wild republican enthusiasm, nodding his besd violently Plcsdillv noticed it, too. and aeeing an opening for some general discussion of free trade, began half audibly to bis neighbor, 'Moet extrsordin ary thing, you know, your American statesmen—' •I deaerted theehip at Liverpool—*

But here tbe two perfunotoiy listeners suddenly turned toward the other end of the table, where another guest, our Nevada Bonanza lion, was evidently In the full flood of pioneer aneodote and narration. Calmly disregarding the defection be went oh: •Ideserted tbe Ship at Liverpool 1n consequence of my ill trestment Dy the second mate—a man selected for hia position by reason of his superior nbysfcsl strength snd recognised brutality. I have oeen since told tbst he graduated from the state prison. On the seoond day out I saw him strike a man senseless with a belaying pin for some trifling breach of discipline. I saw him repeatedly beat and kiok sick men—' •Did you ever reisd Dana's 'Two Years Befpre tbe Mast?' 'asked Ligbtbody, our heavy literary man, turning to hia neighbor, in a distinctly audible wbisper. 'Ah, theie's a boot! Got all this sort of thing in it. Dev'lishly well written too.' (The Patagon'an, alive for information). 'Who esi this Dana, eh?' (His left hand neighbor, shortly), 'O, that msn who wrote tbe Encyclopedia and edits the 8un,' (His right band neighbor,cartly),'The fellah that waa put up in Boston for the Enslish missionand didn't get it.' (Tbe Patagonian, making mental diplomatic note of the fact that tbe severe discipline of the editorof the Sun, one of America's profoundest scholars, while aoting, from patriotic motives, as the second mate of sn American 'bot torn,' bad unfitted him for diplomatic service abroad), •Ah eteU* •I wandered on tbe quays for a day or two, until I was picked up by a Portuguese sailor, who, Interesting himself in my story, offered to procure me a passsge to Fayal and Liebon, where ne assured me, I oould find more comfortable and profitable means of returning tom own land. Let me say here that this man, although I knew him afterwards as one of the most unscrupulous and heartless of pirates—in fsot, the typical buccaneer or the books—wss to me alwaya kind, conaiderate, and at times, even tender. He wss a capital seaman. I give this evidenoe in favor of a much ridiculed race, who*have been able seamen for centuries.'

Did you ever read that Portuguese Guide Book?' as Ligbtbody of his nsigbbors'it's tbs most tidloulous thing—' •Will tbe great American pirate kindly go on, or resume his original func lions,' ssld Miss Jones, over tbe table, with a significant look in tbe direction of Ligbtbody. But her anxiety waa instantly misinterpreted by the polite and fair-play loving Englishman. 'I say now, don't you know that the fact is these Portuguese tellahs are always ahead of us in the discovery business. Why. you know—' •I ship pped with him on a brig, ostensi blv bound to St. Kltts and a market. We had scaroely lett port before I discovered the true character of the vessal.

He paused a moment for tbe usual casual interruption, but even the active Legrande waa silent.

Alas, from the other end of the table came the voioe of the Bonansa man: •The rope waa around her neck. Well, gentlemen, that Mexican woman atanding there, with that crowd around her, eager for blood, dern my skin! If she dido call out to the sheriff to hold on a minute. And what fort ye cant guess!

the ship to cominunlcste with our friends on tbe island, who supplied us with stores, provision, and general Informs tion. The Uunoh waa manned by eight men, and officered by tbe first mate—a

lanoa anil phya'.cal strength. My For tugese friend, acting aa pilot, prevailed upon them to allow me to accompany tbe party aa coxswain. I was naturally apixlous,you can readily comprehend, to •Oertainly,' 'Ofcourse.' 'Why shouldn't you?' went around toe table. •'Two trustworthy men were seut ssbore with instructions. We, mesnwhile lay oil the low, palm fringed oeaob, our crew lying on their oars, or giving away just enough to fcetp tb« boat's head to tbe breakora. Tbe IUHU and myself satin the stern Bbfft«. looking shoreward for the signal. Ti-e night wss intensely black. Perbtp» lor thla reason never before bad I seen the phps-

iborescence ofa tropical sea so strongmarked. From the great bpen be* yond luminoua create and plumea of pale fire lifted themselves ghost like at our bows, sank, swept by us with long shimmering, undulating trails, broke on tbe beach In silvery crescents, or shattered their brightness on the rooks of tbe promontory. Tbe whole vast sea shone and twinkled like another firmament, against which tbe figures of our men, sitting with their fecee towarda us, were outlined dsrkly. The grim, eet features of our first mate, sitting beside me, were faintly illumlnsted. There was no sound but tbe whisper of ptasiof waves against our lap streak, and the low, murmuring conversation of the men. 1 bad my race toward the shore. As I looked over the glimmering expense, I suddenly bsara tbe whispered nsme of our first mate. As suddenly, by tbe phosphorescent light that surrouudea it, I saw tbe long trailing hair and gleaming shoulders of a woman floating beside us. Legrande, you are postively drinking nothing! Ligbtbody you are chirking the Burgundy—you used to like it!'

He paused, but no one spoke. v. •I—let me seel where -was 17 Ob yes! Well, I saw tbe Woman, Snd when I turned to call tbe attention of the first mate to the tbia foot, I knew Instsntly by some strange instinct that be bad seen and beara ber too. So,from that moment to the conclusion of our little drams, we were silent, but enforced spectators. .'She swam gracefully—silently! I remember noticing through the odd, bslf wierd, phosphorescent light whlcb broke over ber shoulders as she roeesnd fell with each quiet stroke of her splendidly rounded arms, that she was a mature, perfectly formed woman.' I remember also that when she reached tbe boat, and supporting herself with one small hand on the gunwale, ahe softly called tbe mate in a whisper by his Christian name, I bad a boyish idea that she was—the—er—er female of his species—his—er natural wife! I'm boring you—sm I not?'

Two or three hesds shook violently, snd negatively. The youngest, az.d I regret to say, tbe oldest Miss Jones uttered together, sympathetically, 'Go on —please do!' 'The—woman told him in a few rapid words that he bad been betrayed that tbe two men sent ssbore were now in the handa of the authorities that a force was being organized to capture the vessel that Instant flight was necesssry, ana that tbe betrayer and traitor was my friend, the Portugese, Fernandez!' 'The mate raised tbe dripping little brown hsnd to bis lips, ana whispered some undistinguishaDle words In her esr. I remember seeing her turn a look of ineffable love and bappinesa upon his grim, set faje, and tben she was gone, She dove as a duck dives, snd I ssw her sbspely bead, after a moment's suspense re-appear a cable'a length away toward tbe abore. •I ventured to raise my eyes to the mate's face It was cold and impassive. I turned my face toward the crew they wure conversing in whispers with each other, with their faces toward us, yet spparently utterly oblivious Of tbe scene that bad just taken place In tbe steriv There wss a moment of silence, and tben the mate's voice cauie out quite impassively, but distinctly.

•Aye, aye, sir!' 'Come aft and—bring your oar with you.' •He did so. stumbling over tbe men, who engsgea In their whispered ysrns, didn't seem to notice him. •See if you can find soundings here.' •Fernandez leaned over the etorn snd dropped his osr to tbe shsft In tbe pbos-

borescent water. But be touched no tbe ourrent brought the oar at right angles presently to the surface. •Send it down man,' said the mate imperatively 'down, down. Reach over there. What are you afraid ofT So ateady there I'll hold you.'

Fernandez leaned over tbe stern and sent tbe oar and half his bared brown arm into the water. In an instant tbe mate eaught him with one tremendous potential grip at his elbows, and forced him and hia oar head downward In the water. The act was so tudden, jet so carefully premeditated, that no outcry escaped the doomed man. Even tbe launch scarcely dipped ber atern to tbe act. In that awful ^moment I heard a light laugh from one of the men in responce to a wanton yarn from his comrade. James bring the Vichy to Mr.

to tbe surface. Fernandez seemed unreasonably pssslvs, until I saw that when tbe mate bad gripped his elbows with his bands he had also firmly locked tbe traitor'a knees with his own. In a few moments—it seemed to me then a oentury—the man's grasp relaxed the body of Fernandez, a mere limp, leaden masa, all pped noiselessly and heavily into the sea. There was no splssh. Tbe ocean took it calmly and quietly to its depths. The mate turned to the men, without deigning to cast a glanos on me. •Oars!*

Tbe men raised their oars apeek. •Let fall!' There waa a splssh in the water, encircling tbe boat In concentric Unes of molten silver. •Give way!' •Well, of course that's all! We got away in time. I know I bored you awfully! Eb? Ob, you want to know what become of the woman—really I dont know! And myself-oh, I got away at Havana!

»ut over buudred chains under an Tbe greatest annoyance that we bad there were sharks. Tbey didn't hardly dare tackle us because with our armor we looked more like sosre-crows than anything else. Tbey would come ssiling along and gradually swim up towsrd us with their great big mouths wide open, but when within a few feet of ns they would stop there flap pin' their fins and looking, it seemed to me, like the very devil himself. Finally we devised aWay to scare them off that never failed to frighten them so that tbey woUld stay away an hour or longer before th«y dare to come back. The armor that- we wear is sir light, you know. Our jacket sleeves were fastened around our wrists with an elastic, so tbst the air could not escape. By run ning my finger under tbe sleeve of jacket I could let tbe air out, and as rushed into the watOr it would make sort of hisaing noise and a volume of bubbles shoot up So, whenever those infernal sharks would come prowling around me I would hold out my arm toward them, and putting my finger under tbe elastic of my jacket sleeve. I woHld let a lot of air out and send a stream of bubbles into tbe shark's face, with a hissing noise like steam from a guage-cock. The way that those sharks would go acooting off waa funny to btfbold.'

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH. •I have had several narrow escapes from drowning,' said Jack, ss he relighted his ancient and much-tanned pipe, 'but about the closest call was When I was working in the waterworks crib in Cleveland. You see, much deends on having a good' signal-tender. can tell when someone else besides the regular sigual man steps up and takes bold of the lino. So can any good diver for that matter. There was the diver that Worked for the Lake 9bore Railroad company when tbey were building tbe abutmenta of their new bridge across tbe Maumee. He, by the way, was

$40 a day for one hundred days. Le working one dsy, shortly after be bad begun tbe on job, and I went down to see him. The signal-tender asked me if I would take bold of the line. I did so, and gave it three or four little shakes that a good diver always understands. He immediately answered back, and let me understand that be knew I was there. But I was going to tell yon about tbat narrow escape. I bad a signal-tender who didn't hardly understand hia business. Tbe mouth of the crib bad become stopped up with dirt, and I was clearing it out. I bad crawled through tbe entranoe, a sort of a door, and was outside of tbe orib. My life line snd hose chaffed against tbe top of the door, and all at once, when I went to turn around, I pulled my helmet off. There I was out in the water, wbere in a abort time I knew I would drown. I pulled twice on my life line for tbe signal tender to pull me up. but he didn't doit. I felt that I waa filling up with water faat. and I pulled again. But still he dia not understand. Of course all my armor bad filled with water, and

there waa no air in it, I waa bald down by ton's weight. Suddenly George, who I was telling you sbout, and wbt had just ootne down to see me, stepped up and took hold of tbe life line, shook it, and asked me what I wanted. I bad just strength enough left to give two bsrd pulls,which meant, •Pull me up quick.' George, I afterward beard tbem tell, yelled to tbe algnal man and told blm: 'Help me to pull In tbat life line, find pull for sll you're worth, for Jack is drowning,' They hsuled me up out of there mighty auiok, now I tell yon, and It took lota of strength to do It, becsuse my armor was full of wster. When they got me to tbe surfsce I wss clear gone, and it was more than an honr Before I caine to enough to apeak. •The deepest water I waa ever in was one hundred and sixty-eight feet. When one to down so low it to hard work to get air. I have bad tbe air pump manned by six men working with all their might, and still I've been obliged to keep pulling on tbe life line and calling for more air.'

In hia day the hero of thla brief history was a prize fighter or muob repute. He fought many battles, and, it ia said,came out tbe victor In most of tbem. He states tbat his hardeet tight was in 1846, with Mat Langdon. Tbey fought 101 rounds In two nours and fifty-one minutes. Jack came out victorious, but with a broken jaw.
