way that X looked at him in anger,
tLiaking he waa inclined to joke. He
went on to explain that be had been
keeping Tigilant watch, and that he
would atake hialife on being correct in
hia assertions, and i lost no time in no
tifying the captain and the doctor. We
moved In the matter so cautiously that
sot eren one cf the aailora who waa to
replace the guarda auspeoted what waa
up. At 7 o'clock, aa Hooper and three
of bia men gathered at the fore hatch,
the captain ordered them aft, and four
aailora took their placet, At the aame
moment Haskell deaoended to the oagea
with two men and told the guarda they
were wanted on deck. Of the eeven
muaketa held by the guarda all were
capped, hut not one loaded Hooper pre
tended to be highly indignant at being
interfered with, and force had to be need
before hia person could be searched. A
number of files and aawa, all betraying
evidences of recent use, were found
about his clothing.
The guard below waa re-enforced and
the cages examined. Bars had been cut
In every one of them, and it had been
planned to make a rush and capture the
bark aa the first gang waa turned up.
We hadn't got to the bottom of affairs
yet when a British man-of-war, on her
way home from the Oape, waa alongside
of us. The prisoners below, led by Ben
Johnson, were hooting and yelling, and
all our passengers were badly upset at
the turn of affairs, though all danger
was over before they knew anything of
the situation. The captain of the man-of-war
had full authority to investigate
and to act. He was at first minded to
put a guard and a sailing master aboard,
but Captain Clark was not a man to be
sat upon in that fashion, There had
been a conspiracy, but no mutiny. We
bad proved ourselves equal to the emer
gency, and there was 00 excuse for in
terference. Captain Hodgson, aa be waa
named, waa determined on seeing pun
fehment meted out, however, and after
ha had had 10 or 18 of the convicts be
fore him it was plainly evident that
Cooper and two of his guards had oome
aboard with the sole object in view of
assisting two of the worst convicts to
regain their liberty. The four other
guards were honest men, and the ohargea
in their muskets had been drawn while
they were asleep. Ben Johnson, a dou
tie murderer named Finch and a high
way robber and murderer named Wat
son were the ringleaders of the conspira
cy and were to have control of affair!
in case the mutiny was a success,
"Call all hands to witness the pun
ishnient, and then give every one of the
aix fellows two dozen on the bare back,"
ordered Captain Hodgson.
A file of marines was sent aboard of
us, as also a boatswain's mate to wield
the cat, and one after 'another the con
spirators were seized up to the grating
and given his allowance. Hooper broke
down and cried for mercy and acted the
part of a craven, bat all the others were
rather defiant. Bon Johnson was the
fourth man seized up. As they were
making him secure he turned to me and
said:
"All I wanted to get possession of the
ship for was that I might settle with
you and Mary. It's your turn now, but
mine is certain to come. "
"What's that! What's that!" de
manded Captain Hodgson as the words
reached his ear. "He threatens, does
he I Bo'suu, give him an extra dozen
well laid on." -
CHAPTER VIIL
' HOW MATTERS IMPKOVBD. ,
The man-of-war remained with us
1 until the cages were made secure, and
" when ready to resume her voyage Hoop
er, Lorkins and Green were ordered
aboard to be landed in England. They
made no objections, knowing that ws
could clap them in irons if they remain
ed on the bark. There wasn't the slight
est doubt that they had shipped for
'the purpose of liberating the prisoners,
but there were reasons why we wished
to be rid of them as quietly as possible.
It waa lucky for us that Captain Hodg
son of the man-of-war was an exoep
itioa to the average. By straining a point
'he could have taken charge of the Hin
du and returned ua to England, and
. that would nave meant financial rum
1 to the owners. He was satisfied, how
lower, that the, Bnmmarv nunishment
meted out to the four men, together
with the removal of the confederates
.named, would put an end to our trou
bles. He hauled Dr. Hoxton over the
Wis pretty severely, had a sharp word
for the remainder of the guards and our
Brew, and when the Hindu resumed her
course officers and passengers felt great
iy relieved. I cannot say that the pun
ishment of the ringleaders had a moral
effect on either the punished or those
who looked on and feared to get the
aame dose. You cannot better the na
ture of a criminal by any form of cor
poral punishment We did not hope for
that The object was to cow them, and
this waa folly accomplished. Even Ben
Johnson, who had ieoeived a double
dose, and who must have felt the dis
grace keenly, acted like a totally differ
ent man.
U had to have three guards in the
rlaoe of those taken away, and Captain
Crrk arranged with Haskell, Thomas
ari Caundera to fill the places. Saun
&n wu one of the four married men
among the passengers, you will remem
ber, while Thomaa waa the man we
were returning to the Cape. I wish to
give Dr. Hoxton all possible credit, and
therefore say that he made an earnest
effort to do hia duty after we resumed
our voyage. The trouble with him waa
that he waa not the man for the place.
He was not a good Judge of human na
ture, and he lacked that force of charac
ter which 'compela respect and that
courage which enforces obedience al
most without command. Tne "lnnu
enoe" which forced him into the posi
tion should be held to account
We had manydayaof Una weather
after the man-of-war left us, and no
convict ship ever held her course under
more favorable auspices. It was during
this period that I began to see more of
Mary Williams. I have admitted that I
bad taken a great fancy to the girt.
You may even call it a case of love on
my part, and I will not deny the alle
gation. I was not so sort beaded, now
ever, as to flatter myself that I could
win her in a week. Her parents felt
grateful to me, and I knew that she
shared in the feeling. ' wny not r 1 nao
helped to save her from lasting igno
miny. This foeling of gratitude caused
her to meet me in a inendiy manner,
and I compelled myself to be satisfied
with that. Whenever circumstance!
would permit, I smoothed my path, aa
you might expect, and aa any other man
would, but I flatter myseil mat 1 nsea
more diplomacy man many anowm
aailor would in my position.
I must tell you the conclusion we
reached after a bit regarding the con
victs. When I say "we," I mean Cap
tain Clark and myself, for we did not
always take the doctor or the second
mate into our confidence, and as tor the
passengers, of course, they hod nothing
to say. We folt that we should be per
fectly safe until reaching the Cape. We
might give the convicts ever so good an
opportunity to mutiny and they would
not take advantage of it The meeting
with the man-of-war had settled that
matter. Two days after Captain Hodg
son left ua we met a second cruiser, and
on the fourth day we exchanged signals
with a third. The convicts would figure
that mjutiny in the regular track of gov
ernment vessels waa altogether too
risky. But after leaving the Cape the
bour of peril would come. Once to the
eastward of the Mozambique channel,
With the island of Madagascar far to the
north,, we ahould have entered upon the
broad expanse of the Indian ocean,
where a craft might sail for days and
weeks without sighting a sail. There
were sailors among the convicts, and
there were others who knew the Aus
tralian coast and the coasts of Java and
Sumatra and the off lying islands. Once
let them get possession of the bark and
they had only to keep her head north
east to find 100 safe hnvens. I should
have been less anxious if Ben Johnson
bad sulked and exhibited more or less
defiance after his whipping. He would
then have acted a natural part Instead
of that be became humble almost to
cringing, and I was sure he had an ob
ject in view in assuming this role. One
afternoon while he was at work on
deck he asked permission of the doctor
to apeak to me. I had passed close to
turn 100 times sinoe the whipping, but
he had never raised his eyes to mine.
On this occasion, when I approached
him, he said :
"Mr. Tompkins, it may make no dif
ference to yon what my feelings are to
ward you, bnt in spite of my being a
convict I have not lost all self respect.
I swore falsely against you and am sor
ry for it."
."That is past and gone," I said,
hardly knowing how to take him.
"I have threatened you and and oth
ers since I came aboard tha ship, and 1
am sorry fo.r that," he continued.
"Well?" I answered.
"I admit that I was a leader in ths.
conspiracy, and I say that my punish
ment was well deserved."
"And now what do you wish?"
"Simply to say that I regret every
thing, sir, and that I am firmly resolved
to be a better man. I have influence
over the gang aboard. I shall exert it in
the right direction. There will be nfl
more trouble aboard this craft -1 know
that a good word from the officers ol
"I cm sorry for that."
this ship to the authorities of Botanj
Bay will oount for much in lnv favor.
I'm thinking, sir, that if all goes well
and yon see me trying to dovrhat'i
right you'll overlook the past and b
willing to speak in my favor. "
"That will be the business of the doc
tor or the captain," I replied, "but 1
certainly shall . not refuse to do what
may come in my way,
"Thanks, sir. I spoke to you instead
, of the captain for the reason that w
' were mixed up in the case back there
and because I tried to swear your life
away. That's all. and while I know yoo
can't forgive me aa a man, I do hope
you may find it in your heart to giv
me a shuw a cenvict under aentenoi
for life and never to see bia native conn
try agaia"
Ton will want to know what impres
ion hia penitence made on me. Sailort
are neither bard hearted nor oversea
picious as a class, but I should have had
a more favorable opinion of Ben John
son and my mind would also have been
easier about things below deck had he
not sought the interview. As a matter
of fact I did not believe a word he said.
Hia past career, his present demeanor,
the very tone in which he spoke, mads
me doubtful of hia sincerity. No man
can point me out a caae where villainy
baa been whipped out of a man's heart
through hia hide. I waa satisfied that
the man waa playing a part which
would oome to the surface later on, and
bia promises and protestations did not
cause me to relax my vigilance one jot
If I have given you the idea that I
waa carrying most of the burden on my
shoulders, let me explain that as mate
of the ship my responsibilities were not
confined to caring for the craft during
my watch. Knowing as we did that the
doctor waa not to be fully trusted, I bad
to have an eye out in his direction. It
waa one of my dutiea to make a daily
inspection of the food furnished the
convicts. I had to make a daily exami
nation of , the cases between decks. . In
company with the doctor I had to over
see the gangs while they were being
bathed or washed down on - deck. The
government required daily reports from
the ship's officers as well as the doctor
on several matters. Then, you will re
member, I waa part owner of the bark
and financially interested in the voyage,
and you may guess the fact of Mary
Williama being aboard did not serve to
lessen my anxieties.
We had run south until off the Hotten
tot coast carrying favorable winda and
fine weather and having no more trouble
with our convicts, when something like
tragedy happened one afternoon. The
breeze died away soon after noon, leav
ing the ship lazily heaving on the
ground swell. We had among the pris
oners a young man named Edgar Davis.
In one way and another by that time I
had come to know what particular
crime most every one was guilty of.
Davis' offense was passing a forged
check. He belonged to No. 2 gang, and
I bad picked him out from the first aa
being of the better class at home. When
called upon to give his trade, he replied
that he bad none, being a salesman ia
a ailk store for several years previous to
hia conviction. He stated that he waa a
good penman, however, and asked to be
allowed some light work of that sort
owing to his poor state of health. After
a couple of weeks the doctor detailed
him to fill out the various blanks re
quired by the government and later on
I turned over a part of my work to him.
He was a quiet spoken young man, and
the three or four months he had been
imprisoned had broken down his- health.
There was no doubt in his own mind
that consumption had a fast hold on
him.
Davis told me hia story one day. He
bad presented the check and got the
money for another, having no idea that
anything was wrong. I cannot recall all
the particulars at this late day, but Lara
free to say that his story impresseme
as being truthful. He had been sen
tenced for ten years. He did not as
sume the role of a martyr, as most con
victs do, nor did he revile judge and
jury, as is the usual course, in fact, be
made no complaint, not even oijna
sickness, and though he was granted
special favors it was not because he had
first aHked for them. Well, on tnis art
ernoon of the calm, while everything
was verv ouiet aboard, the attenion of
several of tbe sailors was attracted to a
monster shark alongside, and after a
bit we all crowded to the port rail for a
look. The flsh was fully 15 feet long
and on the lookont for his dinner. Had
we been a merchant vessel Jack would
have been allowed to droo over a hook
and have a frolic with his old enemy.
but the nature of our "cargo" prohibit
ed anv such excitement We had been
watching the shark for ten minutes, and
its presence was known to all on deck,
though the convicts were not allowed to
leave their work to look at him, when
thfcre was a sudden rush along the deck,
a shout, a eplash, and we were horrified
to see Davis, the convict, struggling in
the water. No, he was not straggling.
As he came to the surface he whirled
over on his back, folded his arms and
waited for the shark to take him. A
dozen men cried out and a dozen men
ran about, but the fact was that noth
ing could be done. Two ropes which
were thrown fell right across Davis'
breast but he threw them off. The or
der wai given to lower a boat, but be
fore the falls had been cleared the shark
made a rush and drew the poor fellow
down to be seen no mora It would have
seemed sorrowful enough had he plan
ned to commit suicide by drowning, but
to throw himself to a shark as he know
ins!? did was an act to make one's flesh
creep a bit as he remembered tne cruel
eyes staring up at us from the green
waters and the month filled with sharp
teeth which opened now and then as i
the monster intended to make an up
ward finrins and snap at one of ths
heads overlooking tho rail.
