A QUEER RACE. A STOUT or A STRANGE FEOPLS. ' V4 ' BT WILLIAM WBSTALL. • ______ ' ’ CHAPTER VI.—CONTINUED. "Of course; and the fact that nothing has teen heard of her or any of her crew shows In my opinion, that the fate which the Ad miralty think overtook the 'Hecate’ over took the 'Santa Anna’—she perished with all on board, perhaps in a cyclone; or she may have struck on a sunken rock or got turned. Your supposition, Bolsover, that every man-jack of her crew died of thirst, and that she is either afloat or aground with all her treasure on board Is—excuse me for saying it—all bosh; and the sooner you get the idea out of jour head, the bet ter it will be for your peace of mind.” “I am sorry to hear you say so, Mr. Erie,” -answered the boatswain, with the air of a man who, though shaken in his opinion, refuses to be convinced. “I am sorry to hear you say so. I cannot argufy like a man of’ead and edycation, and facts is, may be, against me. Well, 1 don’t care a hang for the facts; and I am as cock-sure as if I saw her this minute as the galleon is a ship yet, or leastways the hull of one, and as I shall set eyes on her afore I die, and carry off ns much of that there treas ure as will make me as rich as a Jew. If yon won’t go shares with me. so much the worse for you—that Is all as I can say.” Though I saw that it was useless to con tinue the discussion, I wanted to put one I more question. “Did your father say anything to the Admiralty about the chaplain’s statement?’ 1 asked. “No, ho didn’t,” answered Tom, almost savagely; “he wasn’t such a darned tool! Be had too much white in his eye, my father had, to put the Admiralty on the ! track of that there treasure-ship; and as it was nigh on a hundred years after she dis appeared, it would have done no manner of good to anybody.” The subject then dropped, and It was not resumed until several rather strange things had come to pass, and Bolsover was in a more placable mood. CHAPTER VII.— THE FEVER SHIP. We were now on the verge of the tropics. The weather was perfect, the wind fair, [ and the sea—covered with small, white i crested waves, chasing each other in wild ! revelry—superb. The days were delight ! ful; the nights, lighted up by a great round moon; gloriously serene. The mere fact of living became a pleas ■ ore; the noonday’s heat was tempered by a balmy breeze, and basking in the sun, and living continually in the open air (I slept on deck), health tingled to my fin gers’ ends. It was a pleasure to feel the brave ship surging through the sea, and to watch her great sails us they bellied to the breeze. For days together no sailor had need to go aloft, and one day was so like another that time seemed to stand still. Yet in this very monotony there was an inexplicable charm; it acted as a spiritual anodyne, banishing care, and lulling the mind to sleep. I ceased to think about my future, and Liverpool and business were.so remote that thep might never have been. Even Amy receded into the far distance, and it was hard to realize that I had once dreamed of marriage and suffered from the pangs of disappointed love. Why, I often asked myself, had I not • been brought up as a soldier or sailor in stead of an underwriter? And I wondered how people could diBllke the sea. True, there were sometimes storms, and the weather was not always serene; but, after •11, storms were few and far between, and I felt sure that the hardships and perils of • seaman’s life were grossly exaggerated. Only Just before I left Liverpool, I met a ' man who had crossed the Atlantic half a dozen times without so much as encoun ’ terlng a gale of wind; and It was a notori ous fact that A1 hard-wood ships, well commanded and manned, and not too deep In the water, seldom came to grief. I one day talked In this strain to Cap tain Peyton. 1 said that I doubted wheth er a man was in greater danger on board • good ship than inside a good house, and that life on the ocean wave was far pleas anter than life ashore. “I don’t mean, of course, on boarda war ship in time of war,” I added, remember ing the experience of poor Mr. Hare. “You think so because we have had such • pleasant voyage and made such good weather, so far," returned the skipper, with a smile, “and I am bound to say that ■ailing in these latitudes is pleasant. Yon would think differently, though, if yon had ever faced a stiff gale in the North Atlan tic, or tried to double Cape Horn In a snow-storm. And I don’t agree with you about there being no more danger at sea than ashore. A landsman may live a long life without being once exposed to serious peril. A seaman can hardly make one long voyage without running serious risks. • Not to speak of storms and cyclones, sunto en rocks and unlighted shores, never a night passes that does not bring the possi bility of a collision. rThe unexpected plays • far more important part at sea than ashore; so much so, that a prosperous, pleasant voyage always makes me a bit uneasy—” i “Like this, for instance?” ‘•Exactly. Lika this. I cannot help thinking it is too good to last, and that Fortune is preparing us some scurry trick. Who can tell? We may be run down in the night, or have foul weather before morning. All the same, I like my calling. Its very uncertainty is an attraction a true seaman likes it none the less for its ele ment of danger: and I don’t know that I dislike an occasional storm. There is real pleasure in commanding a stout, well found, well-manned ship in a gale of wind.” “I can well believe It—for a born sailor like you. You are of an adventurous dis position, I think. Captain Peyton.” “I was once. But I am too old now to seek adventures; they must seek me.” “Well, I begin to think I should like a few adventures. My life has been desper ately tame so far.” "Has not somebody said that adventures are to the adventurous? You will, may be, have a bellyful before you get back to Liv erpool. Who knows?” “Ay, who knows? I hope they will ba agreeable, though.” “I don’t think I could undertake to guarantee that,” said the skipper, with a laugh. “Adventures are like babies—you must take them as they come. Step into my cabin and let us have a game of chess and a glass of grog. Everything is going on smoothly, and It is the first officer’s watch.” I have already mentioned how we amused ourselves, and that os there was nlways something going on we never suffered from ennui. We bad excitement, too, of a very mild sort, though often rather in tense while it lasted; nothing more than exchanging numbers with passing ships, 1 and so ascertaining their names—trim they came near enough, which was not ale ways. In point of fact, we had only ex changed numbers with four ships since we sailed; we had, however, passed a good many in the early part of our voyage, and when a vessel was sighted, it was always a matter of speculation and discussion whether she would come within signaling distance or not. The further we got, how , ever, the rarer these meetings became, and for several days past wo had not seen a sin gle sail. So, when, on the morning after my talk with Captain Peyton, one of the matea (a man with wonderfully good eyes), sweep ing the horiion with his glass, announced that he could just see the topmnst of some ship away to windward, there was quite, a flutter of excitement We passengers had our binoculars out in a moment, though, as our eyes were not quite so keen os those of the second mate, it was some time be fore we could make out, in the far distance, a couple of sticks that seemed to be emerg ing from the water, which Bucklow (the mate), a few minutes later, declared to be the masts of a brig. We went on staring our hardest, and in the ond were rewarded by seeing the hull of a large ship rise slowly from “the bosom LUO ‘‘A brig under bare poles!” exclaimed Captain Peyton, who>was one ot the gaz ers. “No; she has her fore-course and fore-topmast-staysall set. But what on earth is she doing, and where steering?” 1 had been asking myself the same ques tions, for tlie brig’s movements were most eccentric; she wobbled about in every di rection, ns If she could not make up her mind toward which point of the compass She wanted to sail. “Are the people aboard of her all asleep, I wonder?” asked the captain. “Run up our number, Mr. Chance” (the third mate). “We shall may be pass near enough to ex change signals.” “Halloo!” shouted Bucklow, the sharp eyed. "There is something wrong yonder.” “What is it?” asked everybody else, pointing his glass in the same direction as that of the mate. “The Union Jack upsldo down.” “A signal of distress! And she does not give her number,” said the kklpper. “Some thing very wrong, I should say. Alter the ship’s course a point, Mr. Bucklow. We will run nnder her bows and hail her.” When we were near enough, the captain took his speaking-trumpet and hailed. But there came no answer. We could see no body on deck; there was not even a man at the wheel. “Queer!” said Captain Peyton, after he had hailed a second and third time. “I must go aboard and see what is*up. Clear away the lee-quarter boat, Mr. Chance. Will you go with me, Mr. Erie?” turning to me. “Who knows that this is not the beginning of an adventure?” “It is an adventure,” I answered. “Thanks for tho offer. I will go with you gladly.” So the sails were backed, the ship brought to, and the boat being lowered, we slipped into her and were quickly alongside the brig. As another hall produced no effect, one of the four seamen who were with ns climbed up the fore-chains and threw us a rope, np which Peyton, myself, and two of the seamen swarmed, one after the other, hand oTer hand. “Anybody on board. Bill?” asked the captain, as he put his foot on the deck. "Not as far as I can see,” said the sea man who had thrown us the rope. “But there’s some very queer smells knocking about.” “Let us take a turn round the deck, and then we will go below. It looks as if the crew had deserted her. Why, I wonder? She seems all right and tight; and, if her figging is all sixes and sevens, that’s easily accounted— Halloo! What’s that in the lee-scuppers, abaft the mainmast, there?" “It looks like a bundle of old clothes,” said Bill. “It is a man’s body. Tarn it around, Bill.” Bill lifted the body np and propped It ia a sitting posture againt the bulwarks. All gave back an exclamation of dismay. It was the most revolting sight I had ever set eyes upon. The face was putrid, swol len, and almost black. One eye was wide open; the other, together with a part of the cheek, had been eaten away. ■ Oae of the poor wretch’s arms having been stretched out as he fell, had stiffened as he died, and now pointed its yellow and almost fleshiess fingers at Captain Peyton. “God bless me!” he exclaimed, In an awe-struck voice. “I do believe it’s a fever ship!” “Yon surely don’t mean that all the crew have died of fever?” “I am afraid so; but we will soon see?” There were two houses on deck, one ot them being evidently the master’s quar ters. Peyton opened the door and peered in fearfully. I looked over his shoulder. In the bunk lay a blackened corpse, a troop of hideous rats gnawing gt the face. On the floor was another corpse and more rats. The captain drew bock with a shudder, and closed the door. “Yes,” he said, “they are all dead, sure enough. I wonder where she halls from and what her cargo is* If I could only get a look at the manifest, or the log-book! I dare say they are In the poor skipper’s cabin, and I am not going there again. We will just have a peep at the hold, though. No harm in that.” As he spoke he slipped down the hatch way, aud in live minutes came back with the news that she was timber laden. “Does anybody know her name?” he asked. “Yes,” says Bill; “it is on the binnacle and the wheel—‘Lady Jane.’ ” “I know her,” I said, drawing on my re collection of “Lloyd’s Register.” “She be longs to Hart & Covcrdaio, of Liverpool master, Williamson; built at Nova Scotia about ten years ago, if I remember rightly. I think we once insured her for a voyage to Hondurus and back.” “That’s it; I thought, so. She hails from Belize—that is where they got the fever, no doubt—and her cargo consists of ma hognny and logwood. A valuable cargo that, Mr. Erie. What do you think she is worth, now—ship, cargo, and everything; lock, stock, barrel, and clinker?” “Speaking roughly, I should say from fifteen to twenty thousand pounds." “And she’s a derelict. Nearly all that money would go to the owners, with a thumping share to the officers and crew; and I am part owner.” “If you tako her into port—” “And that is what I mean to' do. One way and another, it would bring me a few thousands—anyhow, enough, with what I have, to make me independent for life, and be a nice provision for the wife and chil dren when I die. Yes; I will take the ‘Lady Jane’ into port—if I can.” “But, surely. Captain Peyton, you will not put any of your crew on board? Why, she is a regular pest-house; and the sooner I am off her the better I shall bo pleased." “Only a couple of volunteers to take the wheel, tarn and tarn about But one* her* they most stay here. There will be no communication whatever between the two ablps, no more than It they were a hundred miles apart The two men who volunteer shall bring their own water and provisions, so that the risk they run will he of the very slightest.” “Do you think anybody will volunteer!" “You will see when we Ret back. Yes, I shall take the 'Lady Jane’ In tow, and it the weather holds good, I will have her at Nassau in ten days er less.” “And if the weather does not hold good!” “Then we shall have to cast her off.” “And you really do not think that-in all this there is any risk!” “For the two men who come aboard there may bo some slight risk ot infection; but for us, none whatever. The fever can not fly over the water or creep along the hawsers. Besides, I never knew one ship take yellow feyer from another. It is a land disorder, and ships bring it with them from places where it is epldemlo. They never gee it at sea.” “You think It la yellow (ever, then)” “Of course; what else can It her I saw It at once when BUI turned that poor devil over. He must have died on deck and rolled into the scupper. And now, If you please, we will return to the 'Diana.’ ” I said no more, yet I could not help feel ing that Captain Peyton was making a mistake which might cost us dear. He was lei ting greed obscure his usually clehr Judgment. The moment he had ascer tained the "Lady Jane’s’’ character, he should havo got out of her way as qulokly as possible. Tho idea of having a pest-ship trailing after us for ten days—more likely fourtoen—was to me simply horrible. I did not forget that I was supposed to be proof against yellow fever; yet the fact, if fact It wore, gave mo no comfort, and I re turned to the. “Diana’’ full of uneasy thoughts and gloomy forebodings. The unexpected was happening with a vengeance I CHAPTER VIII.—THE FIRST VICTIM. As soon as we were on board the “Diana" the captain gave every man who had been with him a glnss of grog, and after taking one himself, sprinkled us all with carbollo acid and water, and ordered Bill Bailey (the quarter-master, who had handled the corpse) to change his clothes, and disinfect those he had worn by dampening them with a similar mixture, and hanging them up in the sun until they were dry. This done, Peyton called the crew to gether and made them a little speech. He said that the “Lady Jane” carried a very valuable cargo, and that If we towed her into port the salvage would produce some thing very handsome, of which every sea man on board would be entitled to a share. With proper procautions he did not think there was any risk worth mentioning, and he reckoned that they could easily reach Nassau in ten days. There was, however, one difficulty. If the “Lady Jane” was taken in tow, somebody would have to go on board to steer her. Two hands would be enough. They could take the wheel turn and turn about. There was no deny ing that they would run a certain amount of risk; but if they took their own water and provisions, and slept on deck, he felt sure they would be quite safe. There was no antidote for Infection like sea air. At the same time he would use neither com pulsion nor persuasion. If anybody chose to volunteer, that would be rinether mate ter; and the two men who did so should receive, over and above their share of the salvage, fifty pounds apiece, Were any of them disposed to volunteer on these con ditions)” The question was answered by a shout, and at least two-thirds of the crew volua teered on the spot. TO BE CONTINUED. A Temperance Lesson. I heard an instructive conversation yesterday between two old topers, in a certain chophouse in this city. A dray went by laden with barrels tilled with some kind of liquor. The old topers were struck with the size of the barrels, and one said to the other: "Tom, those hogsheads hold more than even you ever drunk in your life, and that’s saying a good deal.” "Yes,” replied his companion, “more than I ever drunk, but not half what you’ve drunk, Jim.” “What are you talking about?” “About just what I mean. I’ll bet you a quart of chamgague, and leave it to the proprietor, that I can prove by your own mouth that vou have drunk twice as much liquor in your life as those hogsheads could hold. “Doue." The proprietor was called; the bet was stated to him, and the proof was begun. Said Torn: ‘■Jim. how old are youP" “Fifty six.” “When did you begin drinking?” “When I was about 21." “And you have drunk steadily every since?” “Yes.” "How many drinks do you average a day?” This was a delicate question. But after some discussion, Jiiu owned up to six drinks a day. Tom was magnanimous. Said he: “I won’t be as hard on you as that. I will assume that you have only drunk a gill of whisky a day for thirty-live years, which you must admit is a very light estimate. Now, a gill a day is about twelve gallous a year, thirty-five times twelve is* 420 gallons. Thos'e wore 40-gallon barrels on the dray. So you have drunk what would more than till ten of them. There were only five on the dray.” Jim was dumfoundcd at Tom’s arith metic. Tom chuckled and called for the bottle of wine. Just as it was brought, Jim roused himself from some probably as serious thoughts as he bad had for a long time. "Tom,” said he, la3'iug his hand on his friend's arm and speaking very earnestly, "for heaven’s sake don’t tell my wife*of this little calculation of yours. I believe its true, and if she were to hear of it, it would drive her crazy. Don’t tell your wife, either, for she wpuld tell mine. Tom gave the required prom ise, and the two “old boys” drank the wine in silence. Tom’s mathematic's seemed to have a solemn effect on then) both.—„V. Y. Star. Carrier Pigeons.
