It is now exaclly a year ago, that the Jamsetjee Jeejeelhoy, a leak-built, op-per-bouomed tteam transport, started from Singapore, with a cargo of Hindu convicts, sentenced to transportation-in the Andaman Islands. This transport named after its original t proprietor, the benevolent Parse 4OMr- chant, had been hired by our government to carry native convicts, a most strange gang of whom filled it between decks, the June evening. 1802, that followed in which the ship had left its anchorage. The first few hours after leaving port are full of bustle and excitement f there is rope to coil away, cargo to fchake into its place ; the men used an hour or two to forget their license on shore, and to return to steady discipline. By and by, every one jets into his own grove, the ropes tighten, the rudder works, the ship "gets her siride," she forgets the land, and away she goes, true and steadfast, on her destined mission. This transformation, this taming-down, had taken place on board the Jamsetjee Jeejeebhoy. The carpenter . .was busy arranging the hatchway for the prisoners sleeping births ; the second mate was superintending the transfer of stores frcin one'part. of the hold to another; the men were splicing and knotting, scrap ing and scouring; the doctor was rating the ' lobby boy,' a tall, freckled, ungain ly Scotch lad, Sandy Patterson, who was always pouring over an old copy of the Seamen's Manuel, when he ought to be compounding medicine? ; and the boat swain was reviling Jack Davis, the ship's boy, a brave little fellow, but rather too fond of mischief. The ship was like a great sea-bird, which ere it finally quits land, rests a moment on some foreland to prune its wings and ruffle out its plumage for its! long flight. The great white canvass was shaking out aloft ; the vessel rose buoy antly upnn the large waves; cheering thouts rang from stem and stern; the boatswain's whistle piped shrill and chid inrjiy; the vessel began to " walk," as sailors call it, before as fresh a gale as captain could desire to have at his back. The convicts on board were Sikh fan- j atics, chiefly from Lahore and Umri'sur. They were followers of that pseudo pro phet. Baloo Singh, who had all hut ex- citeJ an inf urrection in the Punjab. Bv trade a tailor, he had declared himself to be Baluk Singh, the founder of the sect who died sixteen years ago, riten from the dead to preach down caste and sut teeisin, and to expl the English. This dangerous man's disciples wore black and yellow turbans, rosaries of white wollen cord ; practiced military drill, and used the words "Wah Gooroo" as their mys tic watchwords. The only good thing about the deported sect was, that they preached temperance, cleanliness, and truihielling. In olher rejects, these Hindu fanatics were as sensual, blood thirsty, and insane scoundrels as ever abused the name of religion. They had been several days on board before the hip left port, under the somewhat logse guard of the second mate, a mere youth, iu the service of the company to which the steamer belonged' It was iust sunset such a sunset as can only be seen in such seas as tlie con vict vessel was now traversing a sun set as unlike an English sunset as a dai sy is unlike the Marvel of Peru one of those volcanic outbursts of golden flame, and stream? of crimson, and wafts of purple fire, and rainbow radience of green ppd yellow, that seems to mantle the whole western sky, and turn the ocean into a whirlpool of blood. It was coloring all the sails and ropes, and ev ery plank of the convict vessel, and bath ed the walls of the state cabin, wherein the orTicers were just sitting down to din ner. . . . The bell had rung, and the steward had just brought in the soup; but pne officer, the ensign in chargp of the con victs, still stood at the rabin window, watching the burnm? rath the setting sun cast upon the tranqujl ocean. The doctor laughed and said : "When I was eighteen I used to look at sunsets ; now, I only regard them as signals for dinner,- Come. Crawford, the chaplain is waitinsr to say grace. We are not' to wait for the captain." The ensign colored, and took his place; he was thinking of other sc enes far away across the sea. The party consisted .of the captain, Crawford, the doctor, the chaplain, the first mate and the second ensign. "How's the Rajah to-day ?" said the first mate to the doctor. "Oh, well enough ; but the rascal missed his opium, and shams ill. Soup, Jobson?" "Thand you. I should like to give him a round dozen. I catch him some times looking murder" at me out of the corner of his eye." At that moment the captain entered, and laying his cap and double-glass on a side table, bowed to the company, and took his place at the head of the table, Always some worry," he said, "in this dejightful life" of ours. Now it is that boy Davis fall down the companion ladder, larkiog, now it is a head wind that keeps us at four knots an hour ; by and by, we find all the coal on board is bad, and the engineer does nothing but grumble at the little heat it gives. And yet these young gentlemen looking at the ensign. rave over their cigars about the glorious life of a sailor ! Pshaw ! we always like what we have'nt got. I should like them to have our work, Jobson, to the first mate for four and twenty hours that'd ficken them." Mr. Jobson laughed, as in duty bound. "Glass of , wine, Captain Favers ?" said Crawford. "With pleasure. Steward, hand En sign Crawford the sherry. "We shall have a fine passage," said the chaplain. "May be, if the wind keeps up." The captain was evidently ptjeak "But hang me at high water mark, if I wouldn't rather carry parrots and monkeys than these niggers, with their particular food and their perpetual complaints." Soup was removed and the second course brought in. The steward had just lifted the cover from a magnificent joint of beef, that smoked like a great sacrifice, when Patterson entered and w hispered in his ear. The captain threw down the knife and fork in a pet. "There again,,' he said. "Here, Mr. Jobson, take the joint. Not a moment, night or day, one's own. Excuse me, gentlemen ; a ship's captain is every body's servant." There was a howl heard, and the next moment the captain eutered furious and red. "Mare's nest again," he said, "By Jove, Sir, if that boy Patterson didn't call me out.d cctor, to tell me there was a mutiny going to break out among the convicts. "Whv ?" said I. "Because I heard them whisper together:" said he, cool as you like. "Blockhead and lub ber," said I, giving h.in a backhander, " what harm can niggers, whem I could snap over my knee, do. by whi?pencg ? Let them whieper; and if you come and interrupt me again with your mare's nests, by Jove, sir, I'll keelhaul you." "Well, that's very odd ," said the chap lain, "for this morning, when Davis brought the coffee to mybirih, he told me he-was afraid to tell the mate, but he was sure there was mischief brewing amopg the Hindus. He told me one of the men had seen the Rajah, as they call him, slip his hand ntarly out of his hand cuffs." "Nonsense !' said the mate. "I ex amined every handcuff myself at eight bells. Those boys are the pest of lhe vessel, with their cock and bull stories. If I see them again near the prisoners, I'll keep them all day scrapiDg the mast." "Crawford and I always sleep with revolvers under our pillows," said the second ensign; "and there's a sentinel at the door night and day." - "Mutiny be r -," said the captain, testily, "and revolvers, too. If the f el lows did rise I'd tame them in five min utes with the ships fire engine." An excellent thing for lowering the pulse," said the doctor. By the way, Crawford, you must remember I chal lenge you. to chess to-night." Here s the mate to check yo,' said Crawford, pointing to Jobson. Jobson s hard to beat,' said the doc tor, 'but I back the chaplain.' That night in the dead of the dark ness, the boy Davis, who had fallen a leep in the cook's galley, was awakened by a storm of musketry, a splash over board, a clash of sabres, groans, shouts, and cries. As he lay irresolute and frightened, a b.airy, bony hand clutched fiim by the arm; then a voice he knew to be Patter son's cried; ,Davis, the villains has risen and murdered every soul on board save us and the fireman ave three, and those they're chasing into the state-cabin. They've put a guard over the en gine room. I scumbled over the captain just now; he was stabbed at the companion-ladder. O Gcd,' guide us ! Davis, He is good and great and He holds the seas in the hollow of His hand. He is a arrbng tower and a fortress. Davis, pray, for here they come.' A dozen ship's lanterns moved swiftly towards them, and the next moment the two were in the clutch of a dozen Hindus whose white tunica were splashed with the blood of murdered men. They were about to plunge their bay onets into their kneeling victims, - when their leader, the Kaian, with his sabre struck up their weapons as he shoute'd the watchword of their sect, "Wah .Gooroo !" 7 The Rajah vtas a fat, smooth-faced Hindu, with small half-shut eyes, and a cruel mouth. He had the captain's double glass slung around him, and the captain's gold watch chain twisted round his black and yellow turban. Davis clung to his feet and prayed for his life. , 'Hooly, hooly, Jack,' said Patterson to him, but without looking towards his com panion ; 'let. me alone, wi' the bluid thirsty deevil, and I'll try him wi' just a word or two of his ain lingo that I picked up at Singabore. They wanna twist our thrapples if I can help it. No, fear, man; we must make the best of a bad husiness. Speak them- gently, maq, and don t screigh there is if you'd got a dozzen knives in your wame.' Patterson was a raw-boned Scotch lad, ungainly in body, large-footedj red-haired, shambling. But he was .a brave, thoughtful, shrewd lad, and forgot his own danger in care of hi? younger com- panioq. - , He did not utter these exhortations in one breath, but piecemeal a3 they were both led to the state-cabin, where- Baloo Singh was "now enthroned. 'Take heart, Jack,' he said, 'remem ber how David, the son of Jesse, slew the big thief of a giant wi' a wee flint stone.' - I am not afraid, Sandy,' replied the little tellow, his cheek flushing; I'm only a wee skeared. 'Look ! the mur dering rogues, they've got poor Mr Jobson.' , 'God help him !' said Patterson., Poor Mr. Jobson !' groaned Jack ; look, how he's cut on the foiehead.' In the cabin, with one foot on the dead body of the murdered captain, sat the chief fanatic, Baloo . Singh. He ras a" tall, thin man, with lead colored eyes, a face of a corpse color, blue lips and long shriveled hands. ' He sat erect, with no trace of any human, expression upon his face. He certainly acted well the part of a resusetated dead man. Thirty or forty Hindus, mad with excitement, stood round their leader, holding lighted, can dles, boarding pikes, blood-stained sa bres, and ship muskets still smoking at the muzzles; - - Worship him, worship Baloo Singh,' they cried, asthey dragged the unfortu nate mate to the, feet of their chief. The brave man stood erect without a look of fear, I be cussed if I do! he said, and turned his quid, and spat tpon the ground. The chief made a swetping movement with his hand, and the mite was dragged from the room. There wis a struggle, a yell, ana a pistol-shot, thm silence- Wah Gooroo !' shouted the fanatics with one voice. Wah Gooro !' said Babo Singh, with a voice that seemed to jie from a tomb. So perish the unbelievers1. A weasel faced Hindu, bin as a girl, andlns dark, mean features almost hid den by rank, stiaight blsck hair, now seiied. Patterson, and, sabre in hand, dragged him to the feet of Baloo Singh. Gmd bye, Jack,' said Patterson, with a rueful grimace", and clasping the boy's hand. " 'It's gqid'bye i my hams brains now the dour deevijs. Yet God's still a boon a', and jl'll hae a try for my life stilL' : . . . . i Hadji Hanna," the bloated wretch we have already seenj stepped forward and sticking his fat fingers in tie red hair of the. Scotch lad. , raised a carving-knife that he had snatched from the' steward's pantry. I 'Son of heaven,' he said to his chief, let us sacrifice this unbeliever to the godc-ess Kimlee ; she has toll us to purge sea and land, of these jnfides, who deny your resurrection,' Good-by to old Aberdeen! the Lord have mercy upon nje J' groped Patter son. Then a sudden light came in his eyes, and he struggled forward and seized the Tobe of the false prophet. Baloo Singh, son of heaveri!'. he cried in broken Hindustan, 'I' worship thcc." (Then, under breath: 'Haud up your heart Jacd ; there's precedent for it. Remember Naaman bowed himself in the house of Rimmen.") "There is but one God, and Raloo Singh rose from the dead to be hi Prophet." "Let him go- he. is one of us! Wah Gooroo!" shouted his desiples. Hadji Hanna put a yellow and black turban on Patterson's head, and bound round his waist the mystic knotted enrd. 'This lad too," said Patterson, push ing forward Jack, "is also a believerjthe mi racles wrought to-day have convinced us both. Baloo Singh. on of Heaven, we are yourt slaves." Again the shout of "W'ah Gooroo." was raised. ' . "Sons of the- unbelievers, saved by Heaven from doom of thy race ! your lives are given back to you!" exclaimed the corpselike chief. "Hadji Hanna, put on this younger convert the turban and the cord; these converts will help us with the accursed vessel." The gabblin, skate," muttered Pat terson: and then he shouted like a mad man the watch-woid,' " Wah Gooro!" till he was out of breath. "Stay below here rjntil we have prov ed your fidelity," said the chief, rising; "you shall wait on ourselves, and help to steer the vess jl. Kamlee still . cries for victims. "Come, Hadji Hanna come my deciplescome, and let us perfect the work." Ashe uttered these words, he left the cabin, followed by the other fanatics. Hadji Hanna stayed for a moment be hind. ''Beware! ', he said with a hand on the throat of either lad "any treach ery and you die by my hand. You are now the followers of the great Son of Heaven, Baloo Singh. I place two armed men on the cabin door; if yon move from the door they shoot you both, and fling yon to the sharks." As he ut tered these threats. Aadji Hanna's blood shot eyes glared on the two survivors. The next moment the door closed, Pat terson leaped up and hugged Jnr.k ia his arms. "God guide and protect us," he cried, "and forgive me for telling the blackest and biggest lie man ever utter ed! The accursed seed of Satan, the, ravin' God-forsaken blasphemers, the cut throa sont of Belial; but I'll be even with them. Quick, -Davis; help me with this table, that I may see out of the sky light what , they are doing. Eh, man, just hear them! They've found one of our poor fellows up in the rigging, and they're worrying him as terriers do a rat In a moment the ready lad was on the table, and with his eyes cautiously rais ed tt the level of the glass. He was silent for a moment, but his hands was clenched, and the prespirition dripped from his brow. There was a sound of a heavy body dragged over the deck, then a sound of shattered glass. '"Ob,whatis it, dear Sandy! Do tell me. Oh, what dreaJful things a;e they doing!' said Jack. Patterson replied in a low voice, and with face glued to the glass; "It is the Stewart, Jack. They've tied him to the mast, and they're pelting him with cham pagne bottles. He is streaming with blood, and his hands are clasped. Hear the cries ! Now one of them steps up with drawn ii(e 0 merciful Fath er! I dare not look again." As- he uttered his exclamation, Pat terson leaped down from the table, and set himself on a chair, and his his face with his hands. "Jack," said he, at'last looking up, "as 1 live by bread.g it would be doing a duty to set fire to the vessel, and burn these wretches. It had been better'for us to havg cursed their prophet, and died h-ly martyrs like Mr. Jobsen." "No, no, dear Sandy," said Jack cud dling himself near him. "Think of Da vid. God has cot saved us without a good purpose. There's many a lowering morning, you used to say, that brings on a fine day." "Ye're right, ye're right, bairn," said Patterson. "Come and kneel down and pray the Lord Jehovah who put to flisht the armies of Assyrians, whose set the stars to flight iq their courses against Sisera, who made the Red Sea like birdlime for those awful rascals, the Egyptians to give our hand strength and our brains wisdom to beguile these children of Belial." The cruel massacre had been but too complete. Two sailors only were left, and they stood by the wheel, with six armed men with drawn sabres to guard them. The firemen below were to man ege the furnaces; and the scuttle leading down into the engiue-rooin waa alac watched by a dozen men with loaded pis tols. The murdered men's bodies had been flung overboard to the sharks, and the decks washed. Three or four of the Malays, who had been sailor?, were up aloft taking in sail, for the ships course had been altered, and the little wind there was, was now against them. The chief and some twenty of the fa natics were eating their usual meal of rice and curry in the chief cabin. Pat terson and Jack were waiting on the guests with feigned humility closely watched by the suspicious Hadji Hanna. Once, and ence only, Patterson contrived to get close to Jack as he removed a dish, and said: "If I could only get to the doctor's room Jack, I Jcould get enough arsenic to kill all those rats in half an hour; but they went let me out of their sight." A howl, as from a wild bast, made the boys start. It was Hadji Hanna, "Red Head," he said, "thou hadst the care of the Hakim's drugs; where are they? The Son of Heaven desires opium; find it within half an hour, or thou diest." Patterson's heart leaped for joy. "Son of the Faithful," he exclaimad, prostrating himself. ' "I know where is opium, but it - is unprepared, Let thy servant prepare it One of thy follow ers can go with me, and stand over me, armed till it is ready." - "Go; and Yassaktshi, go thou with him; so that we may have the dream producer, that gladdeneth the heart of the Prophet and his followers." When Patterson was gone, Jack's heart leaped for joy, for he saw, desper ate as-was their condition,' sonje hope of deliverance. In the meantime, the wretches in their language, unknown to the boy, discussed the murders of the day. "And thou, too, wert not idle," said the chief to Hadji Ilanca. "I slew the captain with my owj hand; and I slew and stabbed four .of the in- fidole. -on in the riprnr'nn' one in his hammock, one in the cabin stairs. Heav en be praised, and glory to his Prophet," "And I threw an infidel overboard," said another. "And I beat out the brains of the cook." "And -I chopped down the Christian priest as he tried to shoot me; but we are invulnerable. Glory be to Heaven and the Prophet! But here the Red Head comes with the opium. What Gooroo! it sends blessee dreams." "It is good," said Hadji Hanna! "it is fit only for the faithful, it takes U3 to heaven before the time. Quick, Red Head, and you Yellow Itair, bring the smoking-tubes of the dead infidels, we can turn them into opium-pipes." Patterson left'apd returned in a mo ment with twenty or thirty pipes, and some hot charcoal from the cook's gal lery. A large cake of the moist black paste was prepared; and the tactituru chief and his followers, arranging cu?h ioLs on the floor, settled themselves to their intoxicated sleep. Patterson eyed them with the eye of a raven watching a sick lamb. Jack was breathleis, because he saw that Patter son had some scheme in contemplation, and he dreaded its failure. The opium was powerful. One by one they ceased to talk, and fell back in dreamy repose, the eyes fixed and dila ted, upon their cushions, the pipes still in their mouths. One or two made faint efforts to raise, then fell back, with hands half raised to their swords; but the most including the chief. Hadji Hanna, and Yassaktshi, lapsed slowly into a deathlike terpor pale,hut breath ing heavily and loud. Patterson and Jack stood by the side board, surrounded by twenty entranced and healple?s meq. "It gangs weel it gangs weel," said Patterson, in a whis per, as if afraid of awaking the sleep ing ruffians,"thanks to the Papaver dios coridei and the drachms of morphine. A little more, and I could have sept the blood thirsty gang to their aia place, but I jest thqugt I'd keep 'em alive for an English gibbet. But, Jack, our work's pot half done yet; quick, gather up the pipes; we must takethem on deck, fresh loaded, to the scoundrels at the wheel and on the engine room-stairs. As sure as there's heather in the Highlands, an other day, and I have dosed their rice with arsenic, and they ought to be thank ful. Come, Jack, quick, the pipes." Jack and Patterson gathered up the pipes, and in a minute afterwards were cn deck with them fresh filled and relit. Urothtrs of the tih," said Patter son,' "the Prophet bssjtit you two tours of heaven in these rp-ir.i'-pipes. Th relief-guard will be up before your sleep begins. JTaksLthem. oJ shank .God .fpc sending his blessed Prffhetv".. r The men -took them with shams cf ' Wah Gooroo!!' and needed no ia- 1 t i . ducement to at once begin. The Hindus at the enj ice-room stairs accepied them with no less alacrity. Iu': a few minute?, thej irresiitatle dru worked its effects, and tie deck waa strtnn with sleeping men. Then Fattersou seemed all of a sud . j den to go stark' stating mad h hugged Jack; he danced the Highland fling; he shouted, he screamed, Le ran a little way up the rigging, and down again; finally he ran to the astonished men at.- th wheel and 'dragging thpni cn thir knee, cried : "Down with ye, Johnson, down with ye, Jarvis; down with ye Jack and thank God who smote in the night the whole camp of Assyria, who made the earth open end swallow up Daihaq and the whole company of Abirarn for de livering the good ship Jamsetjee Jefjee bhoy from the hands of the Philistines. Here let me take a fpell at the wheel, while I turn her head back to Singapore, and ye run and take a look' at the God -forsaken sons of Belial, all lying like drugged fish down in the stale cabin thanks to the essenee cf Morphine and the Papawr JioscoriJes. "But you don't mean that you really . have done thia!" cried 'Johnson; "Sandy, you're mad," exclaimed Jar-vis- . Ccme and sso fcr yourselves," retur ned Jack, taking their hands, as if they were children going walking. "Ome and see what brave Sandy has been and done; and call up the firemen too all that can leave.the fires and give a hur rah, for the ship's our own, and we've got a rope round the blackguards necks." "Well, they have got pluck, eh, Bill?" said Johnsoq to Jarvis. " "It's lhe ueutcat go I trtr eee,' eoiJ Jarvis to Johnson, as he rolled Boloo Singh under his foot. 'Well, I never," said one of the fire men. "That chap'll be admiral some day, cr my name's not Jarvis," saif that worthy. "And'when I am." said Patterson.with a grime smile. "Jack here shall be po3t . captain. But quick, 'ads I'm ia con'" mand now to business before pleasure.
