Tho morning dawned with a smooth sea nnd a bright blue sky. tho raft had been borno to leeward of the clus ter of uninhabited Islands of which we spoke, nnd was now without hopes of reaching them; but to the westward were to bo seen on the horizon tho re fracted heads and trunks of cocoanut trees, and In that direction It was re solved that they should tow the raft. Tho breakfast had been served out, nnd the men had taken to tho oars', when they discovered a proa full of men sweeping nftcr them from one of tho islands to windward. That It was n pirnto vessel there could be no doubt; but Philip and Krantz considered that their force was moro than sufficient to repel them, should nn attack bo made. This was pointed out to them; arms wero distributed to all In tho boatB, as well as to those on the raft; and that the seamen might not bo fatigued, they were ordered to He on their oars, nnd await the coming up of the vessel. As soon as the pirate was within Tange, having rcconnoltered her an tagonists, sho ceased pulling, nnd com menced firing from a small piece of cannon which was mounted on her bows. Tho grnpo and langrldgo which sho poured upon them wounded sev eral of tho men, although Philip had ordered them to Ho down flat on tho Taft and In the boats. Tho plrato ad vanced nearer, and her fire became moro destructive, without any oppor tunity of returning it by tho Utrecht's people. At last it was proposed, as tho only chance of escape, that tho boats should attack tho pirate. This was agreed to by Philip; moro men were sent in tho boats; Krantz took the command; tho raft was cast off, and tho boats pulled away. But scarce ly had they cleared tho raft, when, as by ono sudden thought, they turned round, nnd pulled away In the oppo site direction. 'Krnntz's volco was heard by Philip, and his sword was seen to flash through tho air; a mo ment afterward ho plunged Into the sea, and swam to tho raft. It ap peared that tho people in tho boats, anxious to preserve the monoy which they had possession of, had agreed among themselves to pull away and leave the raft to its fate. Tho pro posal far attacking tho pirnto had been suggested with that vlow, and ns soon as they were clear of tho raft, they put their Intentions Into execu tion. In vain had Krantz expostulated nnd threatened; thoy would have taken his life; and when he found that his efforts wero of no avail, ho leaped from tho boat. "Then we nro lost, I fear," said Philip, addressing the pilot, who stood near to him. "Lost but not lost by tho pirates -no harm therel Ho, he!" The remark of Schrlften was correct. Tho pirates, Imagining that in' taking to their boats tho people had carried with them everything that was valu able, Instead of firing at the raft, im mediately gavo chase to tho boats. Tho sweeps were now out, and the proa flew over the smooth water like a sea bird, passed the raft, and was at first evidently gnlning on tho boats; but their speed soon slackened, nnd as tho day passed, tho boats and then the pi rate vessel disappeared In tho south ward; tho distance between them be ing apparently much the samo as at the commencement of tho chase. The raft being now at tho mercy of the wind and waves, Philip and Krantz collected tho carpenter's tools which had been brought from the ship, and selecting two spars from tho raft, they made every preparation for stepping a mast and setting sail by the next morning. Tho morning dawned, nnd tho first objects that met their view wero tho boats pulling back toward the raft, followed closely by tho pirate. Tho men had pulled the wholo night, and were worn out with fatigue. It was presumed that a consultation had been held, In which it was agreed -that they should mako a sweep, so as to return to obtain provisions and waer, which they had not on board at the time of their desertion. Hut It was fated other wise; gradually tho men dropped tholr oars, exhausted, Into tho bottom of tho boat, and tho plrato vessol follow ed them with renewed nrdor. Tho ooats wero captured ono by ono; tho bo$ty found whb more than the pirates anticipated, and it hardly need be' Bald that not one was spared. All' this took place .within threo miles oMhe-raft, and Philip anticipated that the next movement of the vessel would' lie. to ward them, but ho was mislaken.,8at Isflod with their booty, and imagining that there could be no moro on the raft, the plrato pulled away to the east ward, toward tho Islands from among which she had first mudo hor appear ance. Thus wero thoie who expected to escape, nnd who had deserted their companions, deservedly punished; while those who anticipated every dis aster from this desertion discovered that It was tho cnuso of their being saved. Tho remaining proplo on board the rrftt amounted to about forty-five; Philip, Krantz, Schrlften, Amine, tho two mates, sixteon seamen and twenty-four soldiers, who had been em barked at Amsterdam. Of provisions thty had sufficient for threo or four weeks; but of water thoy wero Tery thort, nlready not having sufficient for - 4 - - f4 - - - 4 - - - H - - H - . - M - - H Dutchman. -BY CAPTAIN MARRYAT. HM-H"M more tlinn threo days nt the usual al lowance. As soon ns tho mast had been stepped and rigged, and tho sails set (although there was hardly a breath of wind). Philip explained to the men the necessity of reducing the qunntlty of water, and It was agreed that it should be served out so as to ex tend tho supply to twelve days, tho allowance being reduced to half a pint per day. There Was a debate at this time, as tho raft was In two parts, whether It would not bo bettor to enst off tho smaller one, nnd put all the peoplo on bonrd tho other; but this proposal was overruled, as, In tho first plnce, al though the boats had deserted them, tho number on tho raft had not much diminished, and moreover, tho raft would steer much better under sail now that It had length, than It would do If they reduced Its dimensions and nl tered Its shape to a square ninss of floating wood. For three days It was calm, the sun poured down Ills hot beams upon them, and tho want of water was severely fen; those who continued to drink spirits suffered tho mo3t. The night closed In us before; the stars shone bright, but thero was no moon. Philip had risen nt midnight to relievo Krantz from tho steerngo of the raft. Usually tho men had lain about In every part of tho raft, but this night tho majority of them re mained forward. Philip was commun ing with his own bitter thoughts, when he heard a scuffle forward, and tho voice of Krantz crying out to him for help. He quitted the helm, and seiz ing his cutlass ran forward, where ho found Krantz down, nnd tho men se curing him. He fought his wny to hlra, but was himself seized and disarmed. Cut nway cut away." was called out by those who hold him; and In a few seconds Philip had tho misery to bo hold the nfter-part of tho raft, with Amine upon It, drift apart from the one on whlc.h he stood. "For mercy's sake! my wife my Amine! for Heaven's sake, save her!" cried Philip, struggling In vain to disengage himself. Amine also, who had run to the side of the raft held out her arms It was In vain they wero separated by moro than a cable's length. Philip mado ono more desper ato struggle, and then fell down do 'prlved of sense and motion. CHAPTER XXV. It was not until the day had dawned that Philip opened his eyes, and dis covered Krantz kneeling ni his side; at first his thoughts wero scattered and confused; he felt that some dread ful calamity had hnppened to hlra, but he could not recall to mind what It was. At last It rushed upon him, and ho burled his face In his hands. "Take comfort," said Krantz, "we shall probably gain tho shore today, and wo shnll go In search of her as soon as we cnn." He offered such consolation as his friendship could suggest, but In vain. He then talked of revenge, and Philip raised his head. After a few min utes' thought, he roso up. "Yes," re plied ho,' "rcyenge! revenge upon thoBC dastards nnd traitors! Tell mo, Krantz, how .many can wo trust?" "Half of the men, I should think, at least. It was a surprise." A spar had been fitted as n rudder, nnd tho raft had now gained nearer tho shore than It over had done before. Tho men were In high spirits at tho pros pect, nnd every man was sitting on his own storo of dollars, which, In their eyes, Increased In value In pro portion as did their prospect of escape. Philip discovered from Krantz that It wan the soldiers and most indiffer ent seamen who had mutinied on the night before nnd cut nway tho other raft, and that all the best men had remained neutral. "And so thoy will be now, I Im agine," continued Krantz; "the pros pect of gaining the shore has, In a manner, reconciled them to the treach ery of their companions." "Probably," replied Philip, with n bitter laugh; "but I know what will rouse them. Send them here to me." Philip talked to the seamen whom Krantz had sent over to him. He pointed out to them that tho other men were traitors not to bo rolled up on; that they' would sacrifice every thing and everybody for their own gain; that' thoy had nlready done so for money-, nnd that thoy 'themselves would have no security, either on tho rafti or on the e'horervyith such peo ple,; that they jlnro pot .sleep for fear of having their throats cut, and that It were better at onco to get rid of those who could not be true to each other; that It would facilitate their escape, nnd thnt they could dlvlilo between tyraselves tho money which tho others had nccured, and by which they could double their own shares. That It had been his Intention, although ho had piyd uothlng, to enforce tho restoration or tho money for tho benefit of tho ccAnpany as soon ns thoy had gained a civilized port, where tho authorities could Interfere; but. that if thoy con sented to Join nnd aid him, ho would now give them the wholo of It for their own uce. What will not tho desire cf gain ef fect? Is It therefore to bo wondered nt that these men, who were, Indeed, but little better thnn those who were THE RED CLOUD CBraP. thus, tn his doslro for retaliation, e nounccd by Philip, consented to his proposal? It wns agreed thnt If they I did not gain the shore tho others ' should be attacked that very night nnd tossed Into the son. Hut tho consultation with Philip had put tho other party on tho nlert; thoy, too, held council nnd kept their nrms by their sides. As the breeze died nwny, they wero not two miles from the land, and onrc moro they drifted back Into tho ocean. Philip's mind wns borne down with grief nt the loss of Amine; but It recovered to a cer tain degree when he thought of re venge; thnt feeling stayed him up, nnd ho often felt the edge of his cutlass, Impntlent for the moment of retribu tion. It wns a lovely night; tho son was now smooth ns glnss, and not n breath of air moved In thc'henveus; the sail of tho raft hung listless down the mast, and wns reflected upon tho calm sur face by the brilliancy of tho stnrry night alone. It wns a night for con templation for examination of one's self, nnd ndorntlon of tho Deity; nnd here, on n frnll raft, wero huddled to- gcther moro thnn forty beings, ready for combat, murder nnd for spoil. Each party pretended to repose; yet each was quietly watching the motions of the other, with their hands upon their weapons. The slgnnl wns to bo given by Philip; It wns to let go tho halyards of tho yard, so thnt the sail would fall down upon n portion of tho other pnrty and entngle them. Hy Philip's directions Schrlften nnd tnken the helm, nnd Krantz remained by his side. Tho yard and sail fell clattorlng down, nnd then tho work of death commenced; then wns no parley, no' uuspensc; each man started upon his feet and raised his sword. Tho voices of Philip and Krantz nlona were henrd, and Philip's Bword did Us work. Ho was nerved to his revenge, nnd never could be satiated as long as one re-, malned who hnd sacrificed Amine. As Philip hnd expected, mnny hnd been covered up and entangled by tho fall-1 mg or tne sail, nna tneir work was thereby made easier. Some fell where they stood; others reeled back and sank down under the smooth wator; others were plorced ns they floundered under tho ennvns. In n few minutes tho work of enrnago was complete. Schrlften meanwhile looked ( on, nnd ever nnd nnon gavo vent to ' his chuckling laugh his demoniacal "He! he!" Tho strife wns over and Philip stood ngalnst tho mast to recover his breath. ' "So far art thou revenged, my Amine," thought he; "but, oh! what are theso paltry lives compared with miner' Anu now tnnt his revengo was satiated, and he could do no more, he covered his face up with his hands nnd wept bitterly, whllo those who had assisted him wero already collecting the money of tho slain for distribu tion. These mon, when thoy found that threo only of their side had fal len, lamented that there had not been more, ns their own share of the dol lars would have been Increased. There wero now but thirteen men besides Philip, Krantz and Schrlfton left upon the raft. As the day dawned tho breeze again sprang up, nnd they shnred out tho portions of water which would havo been the nllowanco of their companions who had fallen. Hunger they felt not; but tho wator revived their spirits. (To bo continued.) HELD COURT AT DOQ SHOW. A Pretty alrl nnd the Attentlou Hill Attracted bj Her Aotloni. Over at the dog show on tho opon lng night a pretty girl followed by th customary masculine throng thnt al ways circulates around' a pretty girl as a moth whirls around a candle, wan dered through the aisles of the First regiment armory and listened to all the noisy canines sing their doleful songs of woo and wrong. Sho patted the heads of tho ugliest bulldogs and twist od n bunch of violets Into the collar of n shaggy St. Dernard. Sho pulled the tails of the klnkled pugs and tweaked the ears of tho Jaun ty fox-terriers. Sho righted a collar that had turned awry and even ven tured to moke friends with tho blood hounds. The dogs were happy nnd so was tho pretty girl. Tho delight of tho escorting masculine throng woj not so evident, but they pretended at least that they enjoyed playing second flddlo to a dog rather than not, haying a chance to take part In her orchestra at all. Ono great bulldog evidently shared tho sentiments of the men. When tha pretty girl reached tho cage that con tained tho ferocious looking brute sho found It had no water and was. bark ing Its dissatisfaction at the turn of affairs In tho most emphatically pro testing manner. i "Tho poor dog," exclaimed tho girl In crescendo accents of pity, nnd at onco she remedied the evil -by helping her four-footeTd friend to Some watqr stofen from tho neighboring cage. Aft er that net of mercy tho dog, like tha men, was hor abject victim. ' It put both paws on her shoulders and laid Itn head down affectionately, and when the girl attempted to wander away the dog cried so plteously that sho returned again and ngaln to com-1 fort It. "Poor thing," exclaimed one of the surrounding men with a whim sical grimace, "poor thing. Who sold that n dog hadn't the feelings of a man?" I The pretty girl laughed and blushed and rewarded tho speaker with the present of n vory special smile. "Dreadful! That young man and his wlfo who seemed bo much In love have been nrrcstod as swindlers." "Thut proves tholr devotion, you seo. They wero taken up with each other."
