THE RED CLOUD CHIEF.
WEDNESDAY FEB. 17. 1875:
( Continued from finl page.
tooogh for mc to hear, "Brave man!"
All this I enjoyed, and took the op
portunity to discourse severely upon
the sacredocss of honor, in defcofe of
which I asserted that aay man ought
to be willing to lay down his life.
In the coarse of the afternoon I had
the pleasure of witnessing the sailing
of the Ariel with Captain Brown on
board. Whether this circumstance'
had anything to do with inspiring in
me the elevated sentiments, I leave
the reader to judge.
The next morning at an early hour,
I proceeded to the Geld with my bec
ond. Captain AcJiQles Brown was no
tcltere to he seen!
I professed a great deal of disap
pointment, and insisted on waiting
three hours to allow him time to ap
pear. Of course it was all in vain.
All, however, tcstiGed to the remark
able courage which I displayed under
the circumstances, an 1 tendered their
congratulations. The affair even found
its way into the papers, and I found
myself all at onrc elovatcd into a hero.
I could not walk Broadway without
being furtively pointed out as the cel
ebrated duelist. Among the ladies,
particularly, I became an object of
great attention a circumstance that
may well excite surprise when it is
considered that my only claims to their
regard lay in my having been implica
ted in an affair which the moral sense
of the community professes to con
demn. Soon afterward I left my boarding
place, to the great regret of the fair
Sophronia. I afterward learned that,
had I shown the white feather, it was
arranged that Lieutenant Eustace
should force me into a marriage with
his cousin, on pain of a duel with him
self. The extraordinary show of cour
age which I exhibited imposed upon
him to such an extent that he did not
think it advisable to offer the alterna
tive, lest I should accept the duel.
I have heard nothing of Captain
Achilles Brown since the memorable
day on which he did mo the servico to
ail for Cuba. Had ho possessed a
a little more courage, I shudder to
think what might have been the re
sult. THE TRAGEDY ON THE
ORAN,
Five years ago T shipped in the brig
Oran, bound from Salem to Cienfue
gos for a load of sugar. She was a
trim little vessel, and the crew were
old sea-dogs like myself, all osed to
raugh weather and hard work.
The captain had his wife and her
sister on board, and this made it pleas
ant for us, for Miss Nettie, the young
lady, was just a cory, good-looking
body, and very fond of fixing our
clothes ; I mind that she darned my
peajacket, and mended my shirts, and
then 6he knit us fancy colored mufflers
for cold coast weather.
All through she proved herself a
sailor's friend, and I used to think
that nothing could compare to her low,
sweet chatting, as she sat in the shel
tered side of cuddy where the wheel
was.
She used to question me about my
life at sea. where I had been, what I
bad seen, and all about such thing,
and many an hour have I spent spin
ning yarns to her, and when you have
hear the end of my story, you will
understand why I always try to get out
of telling yarns, and why I am so still
with my tongue,
She was the bonniest little woman
that I ever saw, fur never did I see
another wfcose race wore continually
each sunny expression. She was
never in a sulky mood, never ill-hum
ored, and I soon began to think that
she would make the best wife that a
man could get.
I was not alone in this thought, for
the second mate, in whose watch I
was, often cast loving but sheepish
glances atMbs Nettie, and soon he
wouldjoinusattbo wheel, and take
part in our conversation.
Ho was a fine, manly fellow, good
looking, and a thorough sailor, was
Bob Bardenburg, and young too ; and
often did I thiuk that Miss Nettie and
he would make a trim couple, for Bob
was ambitious, and was bound to raise
himself in his profession.
Now 3Iiss Nettie was just the wo
an to help him, for she was neat,
hopeful and thrifty; one of those that
mea Hke'to go to and receive encoir
agement from ; and I soon aw that
Bob was very glad to discuss his futare
pbM with her.
I was pleased because of this, for I
liked Bob, and he was young, and just
the maa for Miss Nettie ; and so my
old head ooaimenced to make a match
betweea them, and to picture out
thairJaUre.
This wa daring the outward-hound

when a heavy gale from the north-east
commenced, and we were forced to
lay-to.
Things hud been going on strangely
for some time, and the men on for'ard
had been predicting that something
was to happen, for a big shark had
followed the ship all through the gale,
and new gear had parted that had no
strain on.
Bob Hardenburg also seemed to feel
uneasy, for he crew thin and Niggard,
as if something was preying on -bis
miud. Ben Loan, one of my watch
mates, noticed this, and spoke to me
about it
"Did you Fee the second mate's
face?" he said, one morning after we
had gone below. "It looked as
though he had seen a ghost"
I had noticed it, and also noticed
that it looked more haggard than
ever, and so, when the midwatch
came, I was not surprised to have Bob
come afte to the wheel, and open a
conversation.
"Ilarry," said he, "do you know
tint T think there is something going
to happen that will causo us both sor
row." "You do: why?" I answered.
'I can't say ; but my m ind is troubl
ed. Not that I give any heed to the
talk about tli3 shark, or the ropes
parting, or unything like that ; but
there is something on my mind that
lies heavy and cold, as though my soul
was held by a cold hand."
"Oh, that's beoauso the weather is
bad," I said, "I cannot see why we
should fear daogcr. The Oran is a
staunch craft, and it will take a heavi
er gale than this to put her in Davy
Jones's locker."
"It's not the vessel at all, it's "
He broke off suddenly, and walked
for'ard until he had reached the main
mast, then turned and came alt aga
in. "Do you believo in presentiments?"
he asked, stopping by my side.
"No, I en n't say that I do, for I
have never had any of mine come true
though I've, had many of both good
and evil intent"
"Well, I do believe in them, for I
have had some come true, and they
have generally been bad ones."
"And eo you suppose those that you
now have will come true ?"
"I do."
The wind was howling fearfully, but
the Orean was a good sea boat, and
rode the waves like a duck. The
weather was not sor dark as it generally
is when nor' cast storms are on the
coast, but now and then the clouds
would bread away and leave patches
of blue sky, star-besprinkled, showing
between their ragged edges. Now
and then a column of moonlight would
also fall from one of these rifts, and
cast a brilliantTradianee ob the tossing
waters.
. It was a wild yet strangely beautiful
night, and a miugled feeling of awe
and fear was mingled in its contempla
tion. The occasional light enabled
us to see how wo lay, and the sight
was not a pleasing one ; for no person
likes to sue the huge waves curling
and rushing along, seemingly intent
on submerging all of the obstacles in
its path.
Still, the Oran was a staunch, trim
vessel, that I knew there was nothing
to fear in the present states of sea and
weather. I said this to Bob, thinking
that-he referred to this, but he shook
his head in tho negative.
"It's not the Oran that is in danger,
but some one on board."
"Who is in danger, Mr. Harden
burg?" questioned a sweet, womaly
voice, that sounded like music amid
the howling and whistling of the
wind.
We both turned our 'heads to meet
the questioning look of Miss Nettie.
She stood waiting for Rob's reply, her
little form bent slightly to let the bul
wark -ave it from tho wild swecd of
wind.
"Mr. Hardenburg was talking of
presentiment," said I, answering her.
"Oh ! was that it ? I suppose you
think it odd that I should be on deck.
Well, it is so close below thit I
thought, as I could not steep, I would
come up and get some fresh air."
"It is fresh enough here," said
Rob; "and so you can have all of
that you wi&h. But about these pre
sentiments, Miss Nettie. J was tel
ling Harry that mine, if they were
bad, generally cams trua.
"Then I hope you have no bad ones
now," she answered merrily.
His face grew very grave and worn
looking, and there was a nervous
movement of the mouth, that seemed
to tell of pain, as he strove to conquer
some emotion that struggled within
him. At last he grew calm, though
when he spoke his voice was hoarse
and strango.
"I am sorry to say that I have bad
one-, and more so, because they bode
no geod to one whom I hold dearest
on earth."
Miss Nettie's face grew pile, then
flashed hotly with color ere she re
plied: "That is truly too bad, Mr. Harden
burg; but perhaps tho person you
hold so dear is safe in her coxy home,
and don't even kaow of how the wind
is blowing oat here."
"I wish she was, Miss Nettie, hat
I know she b hot Even 'bow she is
listening to the Tush of tfcisaor'eester,
and so 1 have aeffthat coasoWtioa."
"Indeed ! Is she,- -then, at sea?"
"She is. Oh," forgive a.e, Mies
Nettie, for speaking, butlcaa't help
it. You are the dear oae the dearest
oae on carta to me, aaa it xs tor yoar J
safety I fear. Ob, my darling, my
darling! would to God you were in
your home no."
His words had come rushing out,
deep, strong and fast, as soon as the
spell that held his tongue was broken,
and when his passionate declaration
was made, he hung his head, as if
ashamed of his words.
But there was no need, for the soul
of Miss Nettie was true and womanly
and it knew and valued a love like
that of Rob at its true worth.
When she had found that it was
she who was dearest on earth to him,
a glad light had come to her eyes,
and a happy look stole swiftly ever
her face. When he finished speaking
with that passionate appeal, she held
out both her hands to him ; but his
head was turned from her, and he did
not Bee them.
He heard the one word she spoke,
though even with the wind roaring
and surging about tho ship. He
would have heard it bad the storm
been twice as wild.
"Bob !"
His look was full of surprise, that
became joy and happiness as his eyes
saw the love that spoke in her
glance, and noticed the hands ready
to welcome bis affection, and with a
glad cry he elapsed her to his heart.
"My darliug !" was all that he could
say, and yet in those words there was
a tenderness and joy that would rend
er many sentences eloquent
For a moment the gladness of love's
triumph made the dark thoughts that
had filled his mind dim memories that
had no power; but, as he raised his
face, a great column of moonlight
broke from a cloudrent, and lit up the
tos.sing sea for miles around.
Scarcely had his eyes glanced at the
sea, when the gladness of his face
changed to an ashy despair and with
tho cry, "Oh, my God I" ringing out
like a dying wail, he jumped to the
open companionway and closed it ;
then, seizing a wheel he spun it round
like a toy.
So quick had been his movements,
that I was startled ; but it was only
for aasccond. The next instant I had
taken a look to windward, and my
heart stood still.
In the broad glare of the moonlight
I saw the great dark hull of a large
ship bearing down full on us. She
was scudding under a close-reefed for
sail, and coming at a rate of speed
that would have carried her clean over
the little Oran.
For an instant I was paralyzed, but
it was only for an instant. I saw, like
Rod had, that if we could fall off
quick she might graze us, and cause
only a wetting, and I added my
Btrength to his to heave the helm hard
up, and so let her pay off
It would be touch and go with us, I
knew; but the Oran answered her
helm beautifully, aud in an instant
she fell off bsfore the wind, the waves
foaming along her sides like white
bearded demons.
We were not a moment too soon,
however, for, just as we got before the
wind, the bow of the ship loomed past
us, and with a roar, as if a deluge had
broken loose, she rushed past us, and
a huge wave broke over the Oran,
nearly swamping her.
When it was bciling around me, I
thought that I heard a low sob of fear
followed by a wild cry of despair, and
instantly the thought came Miss
Nettie I
It was too true, too true ; when the
Oran righted, and shook herself clear
of the water, Miss Nettie was nowhere
to be seen.
The companionway was thrown
open, and the captain came rushing
uu deck, just in time to grasp Rob
Hardenburg, who, realizing the full
force of his loss, had sprung to the
bulwarks, with the intention of fling
ing himself into the sea.
He was so exhausted, however, by
his struggle at the wheel, that the
captain soon mastered him, and, shov
ing him below, secured the compan
ionway. I had been busy bringing the Oran
close to the wind again, having taken
advantage of the smooth water left in
the ship's wake to do this, and had
just got her to her old position, when
the .-aptain came to my side and asked
what was up.
In as few words as possible I told
him all told him how the ship ap
peared, how we had just escaped be
ing run down, and of the sea's board
ing us ; told him of the sob and cry
that I had heard, and of Miss Nettie's
disappearance.
He rushed from me, and
cd a wild search about the
commenc
deck; but
it was all in vain.
Miss Nettie was never seen alive
after this.
The crew, who had been brought on
deck by the noise, soon learned the
sad news; and as Miss Nettie had al
ways been a favorite with all of us, t a
sadder-hearted set of men could not
well have been found.
Finding that Miss Nettie was truly
gone, the captain caaie aft to me and
asked what was the cause of Rob's
strange coadoct, aad I then told him
of thesceae that had preceded the 'ap
pearance of the ship.
He was a kiad hearted, feeKngaan,
and had loved Miss Nettie as though
she had been his daaghter; and be
had felt a sincere regard for, Rob, sec
iag bow brave and worthy he was.
Tears ateed ia aw eyes, when I fia
uhed teHiag aay story, aad his form
book with the strcggle to reetraia bis
"Peer Mewl" heseid; Iaratgo
dotmaadeeeafbrthiaiaadnj wife."
Then, turning to the Grat mate, who
had come aft, he told him of what had
occurred, and, as the Oran was lying
to again, went below."
The next morning the wind shifted
and came fair, and also decreased to a
moderate gale, so that we were ena
bled to make sail and run along finely.
Rob came on deck during the mora
ine, -and resumed his duties : but
though he did not seem to, I noticed
that the captain kept a sharp watch
on his movements.
Rob was very still. The sorrow that
bad come to him seemed to lie heavily
upon his soul, and his face was wan
and haggard. He looked bent and
old, even though but a few hours had
passed since I saw him. Had I not
known that it wjj he, I should have
passed him by as a stranger.
He did not speak to me tha't day,
save to give orders ; and as I could
only revert to scenes that would recall
his sorrow, or the cause of it, I did not
seek to enter into conversation.
When night came and it was my
turn at the wheel, he stood near it aa
I relieved the ui-tn who had been
steering, and when we wcro alone,
said:
"Did I not tell yoa,iHarry, that my
presentments always caaie true?"
"Yes, ye," I answered; "but I
would not think of this now."
"How can I help thinking of it?"
he asked bitterly ; "how cau 1 forget
all that has taken p!a;c dunn the last
few hours? But it is not over yet,
Harry, for I shall go to her soon."
I looked at him, a mingled horror
and woader in my glance.
He smiled sadly.
"No, no, I shall never attempt that
again, I was mad then. But, Harry,
1 feel that I bhall soon join her, aud
this is the happiest thought that I
have, for life. is nothing without her
love to bless it"
He went on talking about her, and
his voice grew strong and musical, as
of old, and 1 was hoping that his mind
Mould grow calm aud resigned, from
this talk.
The breeze was strong but fair, the
night clear aud moonlit, aud the sea,
though still running high was not to
bad as in the morning. We stood
alking during tho remainder oftthc
watch, and I thought his language
more lik'e what Rob used to talk, aud
grew hopeful accordingly.
Just before eight bells Rob went
around the deck to see that all was
right, and then came aft again. Cast
ing his eyes up nloft, something
though what will never be known on
earth, seemed to be out of order, and,
to get a clearer view of it, he jumpped
upon the taffrail, supporting himself
with the fore-to gallant brace a piece
of rigging that we had drove off new
when leaving port
As he leaned outboard to get a clear
er view, the brace parted about a
fathom above bis grasp ; and, though
he strove hard to grasp something, he
could not, but fell backward into the
sea.
I saw his face as it drifted swiftly
by, and it was calm, and seemed full
of joyous light
To bring the brig to, or get our boat
were things that could nor. be done in
time to save Rob, and so we were fore
ed to leave him to his fate. 1 watched
him as long as it was possible, and, in
deed, was compelled to do so, for one
of the strangest reasons in the world.
Directly above him, floating a?
though upborne by a divine power,
appeared the fo:m of a woman ; and
when this form turned its face toward
the Oran, we recognized the features
and looks of Miss Nettie.
It was truly her spirit or ghost that
we saw more beautiful and radiant
than she had ever appeared in life, for
it seemed that she had teen the glory
of heaven, and been given of its radi
ance; and when I saw her resemblance
I knew why Rob's face had worn such
a bright look.
Truly he was going to her; and sa
both of his presentments came true.
Why the rope came to part us, and
ever will be, a mystery; but that whole
voyage home io the Oran waj a mys
tery; and it is because it forces its
mamory on mc whenever I begin to
talk, that I never spin yarns now.
Somehow the face of Miss Nettie will
appear, and I live- over again that
week of storm and death ; and thas I
deo't tell of my old life, for to do so,
I have to tell how we lost Miss Nettie,
and how her ghost or spirit welcomed
Rob Ardenburg to the other world ;
and this brings op thoughts that pux
rlc my brain, so I don't talk of it
often.
This was the only yarn that Harry
Oldham ever told us. Poor fellow !
he's dead now, and a true, generous
old salt left us when he went to Davy
Jone. He was with me, first ante ef
the Mary Allair, then, and it was aiy
initiation as skipper.
Poor fellow ! he had ao home to ge
too, no loved ones save thoee in heaven
so he is at peace now, and has met
with many aa old cotapanioa, doubt
ksj, who can tell hiat wby the rope.
parted that sent Rob Hardenburg to
his death.
