CHAPTER XI. Philip hart not long been on board ere he found that they were not likely to have a very comfortable passage; for the Batavia was chartered to con vey a large detachment of troops to Ceylon and Java, and for the purpose of recruiting and strengthening the company’s forces at those places. She was to quit the fleet off Madagascar, and run direct for the island of Java, the number of soldiers on board be ing presumed sufficient to insure the ship against any attack or accidents from pirates or enemies’ cruisers. The Butavia, moreover, mounted thirty guns, and had a crew of seventy-five men. Besides military stores, which formed the principal part of her cargo, she had on board a large quantity of specie for the Indian market. The de tachment of soldiers was embarking when Philip went on board, and in a few minutes were so crowded that it was hardly possible to move. Philip, who had not yet spoken to the captain, found out the first mate, and imme diately entered upon his duty, with which, from his close application to it during his former voyage and passage home, he was much better acquainted than might have been imagined. In a short time all traces of hurry and confusion began to disappear, the baggage of the troopn was stored away, and the soldiers, having been told off in parties, and stationed with their messing utensils between the guns of the main deck, room was thus afforded for working the ship. Philip showed great activity as well as method in the arrangements proposed, and the captain, during a pause in his own ar duous duties, said to him: "I thought you were taking it very easy, Mr. Vanderdecken, in not Joining the ship before, but, now you are on board, you are making up for lost time. You have done more during the forenoon than I could have expected.I am glad that you are come, though very sorry you were not here when we were storing the hold, which, I am afraid, is not arranged quite as well as it might be. Mynheer Struys, the first mate, has had more to do than he could well give attention to.” “I am sorry that I should not have been here, sir,” replied Philip; “but I came as soon as the company sent me word.” “Yes, and as they know that you are a married man, and do not forget that you are a great shareholder, they would not trouble you too soon. I pre sume you will have the command of a vessel next voyage. In fact, you are certain of It, with the capital you have Invested in their funds. I had a con versation with one of the senior ac countants on the subject this very morning.” Philip was not very sorry that his money had been put out to such good interest, as to be the captain of a ship was what he earnestly desired. He replied that “he certainly did hope to command a ship after the next voy age, when he trusted that he should feel himself quite competent to the charge.” It was not until a week after Philip arrived on board that the Batavia and the remainder of the fleet were ready for sea. It would be difficult to analyze the feelings of Philip Vauderdecken on his second embarkation. His mind was so continually directed to the object of his voyage that, although he attend ed to his religious duties, yet the busi ness of life passed before him as a dream. A few days after he had sailed he bitterly repented that he had not stated the whole of his circumstances to Father Seysen, and taken his advice upon the propriety of following up his search; hut it was now too late; al ready was the good ship Batavia more than a thousand miles from the port of Amsterdam, and his duty, whatever it might be, must be fulfilled. As the fleet approached the Cape, his anxiety increased to such a degree that it was remarked by all who were on board. The captain and officers com manding the troops embarked, who all felt Interested in him, vainly attempt ed to learn the cause of his anxiety. Philip would plead ill-health; and his haggard countenance and sunken eyes silently proved that he was under acute suffering. The major part of the night he passed on deck, straining his eyes in every quarter, and watching each change in the horizon, in antici pation of the appearance of the Phan tom Ship; and it was not till the day dawned that he sought a perturbed re pose in his cabin. After a favorable passage the fleet anchored to refresh at Table Bay, and Philip felt some small relief, that up to the present time the supernatural visitation had not again occurred. As soon as the fleet had watered they again made sail, and again Philip’s agitation became perceptible. With a favoring breeze, however, they round ed the Cape, passed by Madagascar, and arrived in the Indian Seas, when the Batavia parted company with the rest of the fleet, which steered to Cam broon and Ceylon. ‘‘Aud now,” thought Philip, “Will the Phantom Ship make her appearance? It has only waited till we should be left without a con I sort to assist us in distress.1’ But the Batavia sailed in a smooth sea, and un der a cloudless sky, and nothing was seen. In a few weeks she arrived off Java, and previous to entering the splendid roads, the Batavia hove to for the night. This was the last night they would be under sail, and Phil ip stirred not from the deck, but walked to and fro. anxiously waiting for the morning. The morning broke —the sun rose in splendor, and the Ba tavia steered into the roads. Before noon she was at anchor, and Philip, with his mind relieved, hastened down to his cabin and took that repose which he so much required. He awoke refreshed, for a great weight had been taken off his mind. “It does not follow, then," thought he, “that because I am on board the vessel that therefore the crew are doomed to perish; it does not follow that the Phantom Ship is to appear because I seek her. If so, I have no further weight on my conscience. I seek her, it is true, and wish to meet with her; I stand, however, but the same chance ns others; and it is no way certain that, because I seek, I am sure to find. That she brings disaster upon all she meets may be true, but not that I bring with me the disaster of meeting her. Heaven, I thank Thee! Now can I prosecute my search without re morse." Philip, restored to composure by these reflections, went on deck. The debarkation of the troops was already taking place, for they were as anxious to be relieved from their long confine ment as the seamen were to regain a little space and comfort. He surveyed the scene. The town of Batavia lay about one mile from them, low on the beach; from behind it rose a lofty chain of mountains, brilliant with ver dure, and here and there peopled with country seats belonging to the resi dents, delightfully embosomed in for ests of trees. The panorama was beau tiful; the vegetation was luxuriant, and, from its vivid green, refreshing to the eye. Near to the town lay large and small vessels, a forest of masts; the water in the bay was of a bright blue, and rippled to a soft breeze; here and there small islets (like tufts of fresh verdure) broke the uniformity of the water line; even the town itself was pleasing to the eye, the white col or of the houses being opposed to the dark foliage of the trees, which grew in the gardens and lined the streets. “Can it be possible,” observed Philip to the captain of the Batavia, who stood by him, “that this beautiful spot can be so unhealthy? I should form a very different opinion from its appearance.” “Even,” replied the captain, “as the venomous snakes of the country start up from among its flowers, so does Death stalk about in this beautiful and luxuriant landcape. Do you feel better, Mynheer Vanderdecken?” “Much better,” replied Philip. “Still, in your enfeebled state, I should recommend you to go on shore.” “I shall avail myself of your permis sion with thanks. How long shall wre stay here?” “Not long, as we are ordered to run back. Our cargo is all ready for us, and will be on board soon after we have discharged.” CHAPTER XII. Philip took the advice of his cap tain; he had no difficulty in finding himself received by a hospitable mer chant, who had a house at some dis tance from the town and in a healthy situation. There he remained two months, and then re-embarked a few days previous to the ship being ready for sea. The return voyage was fortu nate,and in four months from the date of their quitting Batavia, they found themselves abreast of St. Helena; for vessels, at that period, generally made what is called the eastern passage, running down the coast of Africa, in stead of keeping toward the American shores. Again they had passed the Cape without meeting with the Phan tom Ship; and Philip was not only in excellent health, but in good spirits. As they lay becalmed, with the islands in sight, they observed a boat pulling toward them, and in the course of three hours she arrived on board. The | crew were much exhausted from hav ing been two days in the boat, during which time they hnd never ceased pulling to gain this land. They stated themselves to be the crew of a small Dutch Indiaman, which had fouaBered at sea two days before; she had started one of her planks, and filled so rap idly that the men had hardly time to save themselves. They consisted of the captain, mates and twenty men be longing to the ship, and an old Portu guese Catholic priest, who had been sent home by the Dutch governor for having opposed the Dutch interests in the island of Japan. He had lived with the natives, and been secreted by them for some time, as the Japanese government was equally desirous of capturing him, with the intention of taking away his life. Eventually he found himself obliged to throw him self into the arms of the Dutch, as be ing the less cruel of his ene mies. The Dutch government decided that he should be sent away from the coun try; and he had, in consequence, been put on board of the Indiaman for a passage home. By the report of the captain and crew, one person only had been lost; but he was a person of con sequence, having for many years held the situation of president in the Dutch .u.y at Japan. He was returning to Holland with the riches which he had amassed. By the evidence of the captain and crew, he had insisted, after he was put into the boat, upon going back to the ship to secure a casket of immense value, containing diamonds and other precious stones, which he had forgotten; they added, that while they were waiting for him the ship suddenly plunged her bow sprit under, and went down head foremost, and it was with difficulty they had themselves escaped. They had waited for some time to ascertain if he would rise again to the surface, but he appeared no more. “I knew that something would hap pen,” observed the captain of the sunk en vessel, after he had been sitting a short time in the cabin with Philip and the captain of the Batavia; “we saw the Fiend or Devil’s Ship, as they call her, but three days before.” “What! the Flying Dutchman, as they named her?” asked Philip. “Yes; that, I believe, is the name they give her,” replied the captain. “I have often heard of her; but it never was my fate to fall in with her before, and I hope it never will be again; for I am a ruined man, and must begin the world afresh.” “I have heard of that vessel,” ob served the captain of the Batavia. Pray, how did she appear to you?” “Why, the fact is, I did not sea anything but the loom of her hull,” replied the other. “It was very strange, the night was fine, and the heavens dear; we were under top-gallant sails, for I do not carry on during the night, or else we might have put the royals on her; she would have carried them with the breeze. I had turned in, when, about 2 o'clock in the morning, the mate called me to come on deck. 1 demanded what was the matter, and he replied he could hardly tell, but that the men were much frightened, and that there was a Ghost Ship, as the sailors termed it, in sight. I went on deck; all the horizon was clear; but on our quarter was a sort of fog, round as a ball, and not more than two ca bles’ length from us. We were going about four knots and a half free, and yet we could not escape from this mist. ‘Look there,’ said the mate. ‘Why, what the devil can it be?’ said I, rubbing my eyes. ‘No banks up to windward, and yet a fog in the middle of a clear sky, with a fresh breeze, and with water all around it;’ for you see the fog did not cover more than half a dozen cables’ length, as we could perceive by the horizon on each side of it. ‘Hark, sir!’ said the mate—‘they are speaking again.’ ‘Speaking!’ said I, and I listened; and from out this ball of fog I heard voices. At last, one cried out, ‘Keep a sharp lookout for ward, d’ye bear?' ‘Ay, ay, sir!’ re plied another voice. ‘Ship on the star board bow, sir.’ ‘Very well; strike the bell there forward.’ And then we heard the bell toll. ‘It must be a ves sel,’ said I to the mate. ‘Not of this w’orld, sir,’ replied he. ‘Hark!’ ‘A gun ready forward.’ ‘Ay, ay, sir!’ was now beard out of the fog. which ap peared to near us; ‘all ready, sir.’ ‘Fire!’ The report of the gun sounded in our ears like thunder, and then—” “Well, and then?” said the captain of the Batavia, breathlessly. “And then,” replied the other cap tain, solemnly, “the fog and all dis appeared as if by magic; the whole horizon was clear, and there was noth ing to be seen.” “Is it possible?” (To be continued.) TAKING ASTOR DOWN A PEG Snubbed Gently and Unintentionally by a Duke’s Gardner. William Waldorf Astor, the expatri ated American millionaire, who now resides in London, is the subject of a lengthy biographical sketch in Tit Bits, a publication issued in the Brit ish capital. Incidental to the sketch it is related how the duchess of Cleve land gently set him down on one occa sion. When his grand estate offices on the Thames embankment were fin ished he gave a magnificent banquet to a number of swells. Showing one of the staircases in the building to the duchess, Mr. Astor is alleged to have asked: “Isn't that handsome, your grace?” "Yes, it certainly is,” replied the duchess. “Isn't it more so than any other staircase you ever saw?” Mr. Astor is reported to have persisted. At this the duchess’ back very nat urally got up. “Yes,” she said, gently, “I admire it very much. It is much finer than our old staircase at Battle abbey, which has been spoiled these 200 or 300 years by the spurs of those stupid old knights.” Battle abbey Is probably the grand est old place in England, and com pared with Cliveden, Mr. Astor's coun try house, is like a battle ship to a torpedo boat. Another story with a similar point is related in the same skech. Mr. As tor, it is averred, was lost in admira tion of the duke of Westminster's lawn at Cliveden when he first saw it, and, it is said, asked the gardener: “How do you grow turf like that?” “Well, sir,” says the gardener, rub bing his chin and looking very inno cent, “you jest sows yer seed and then ’as it rolled every day for a hundred years or so, sir.” ARE YOU , SORE !

Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the car. There Is only one way to cure deafness, and that Is by consti tutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucus lining of the Eustachian Tube. When lhis tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear ing, and when it is entirely closed deafness Is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will he destroyed forever; nine cases out of ton are caused by catarrh, which is nothing hut an inflamed condition of the mucus surfaces.
