Soon after this , when ovp"I g came
on wo hciml u nolHO In thu forecastle ,
mid the volco of HlHlop exclaiming :
"Standfilfiiv.Hhi'or ) | offi A'utoujo ! , If

"What Is the ihiUter how1 ? ' ' bald I ,
'fdfwaid. ' ' "
hastening .
"Oil , thin rascally SpnnlHh crcolc has
boon swearing at the mon again , and
threatening old Hoburts. "
"Ho VOWB , Hlr , ho will burn the
ship , " said Roberts , who seemed con-
Bldorably excited.
"Hum tllo Bhlp , " roltcrated Weston.
"I have a great mind to put him In
the bilboes for the remainder of the
voyage. "
" 'Twcro bent for all concerned , sir , "
said Tom LiuiUiotirno , touching his
forelock with his right hand , , and giv
ing the dock a scrape with his loft
foot ; "or act him adrift with some
provisions In the jolly-boat.1'
"Come , come , Antonio , " said Wcs
ton , with greater severity than I had
hitherto seen expressed In his open
and honest countenance , "you must
haul your wind for some time you
have boon going too far. I can't spare
my lolly-boat , and. thank heaven ! the
days of marooning are past among
British sailors , but beware you , ship-
mate , or the bilboes It shall be , and
wo have a pretty heavy pair below.
And as , for you , Mnrc Illslop , " ho
added , In a low volco , when wo walked
nft , "take care of yourself , for these
Spanish Creoles are as slippery and
treacherous as serpents. "
said Hlslop.
Yon will rcanlro to do so , I think. "
"You do ? " exclaimed the Scotsman ,
with growing anger. "If he proceeds
thus , I'll break either his heart or his
neck. "
Next morning , Roberts , the old man-
o'-wnr's man , who had always been
Antonio's chief accuser concerning his
dreams , was nowhere to bo found on
board !
All the hands wore turned up ; the
whole brig was searched , the fore
castle berths , the cable-tier , and every
place below from the fore to the after
peak , but there was no trace of Roberts -
orts , save his old tarpaulin hat lying
crushed and torn In the Ice scuppers.
Ho was last seen when turned up
to take the middle
watch , which extends -
tends from 12 to 4 o'clock n. m. , and
Antonio was then In his hammock.
Roberts was entered in the log as
"having fallen overboard In the
night ; " but his loss cast a terrible
gloom over nil the ship. Suspicion
grow apace , and seemed to become con-
firmed , as open war was soon declared
between the crew and Antonio.
Every man was ready to take his
"trick" at the wheel , rather than trust
the Eugenie to his steerltiB In the
night , lost ho might let her broach to ,
and lose her spars , or do some otlfer
mischief ; and no man , if he could
avoid it , would lay out on the yard
beyond him. No man would walk on
the same side of the deck with him ,
or exchange a word , or a light for a
pipe , or use the
sumo cup or plate ; so
ho was generally to bo seen , leaning
moodily and alone , against the wind
lass bltts , with his black eyes fixed
on the horizon , ns if ho expected a
sail or something else to heave In
sight.
Wo shall soon sco how all this ended. (
CHAPTER XVIII.
Wo Cross the Lino.
We were now In the latitude of burnIng -
Ing days , of starry nights , and bright
blue seas. The winds were light , and ,
as usual , near the line , there was a
tremendous swell upon the ocean ,
Which rose In long and slowly-heaving
hills , without foam or ripple smooth ,
glassy and without sound.
On a lovely night
, when the ocean
seemed to sleep in the moonshine , wo
crossed the equator ,
The Eugenie was running with the
lee clews off I. o. , with n fiowing
sheet when Father
Neptune
came on
board , and the usual unpleasant pranks
were played on those who had 'never
passed the girdle of the
world before.
Great preparations had been 9.d
progress all day In the forecastle , and
these were perfected under cloud of
night. All the crew wore on deck save
Antonio , who turned In , having prob
ably a dread of what was about to en
sue , and knowing that ho was anything
but a favorite.
Accompanied by the shouts of the
ctow , and preceded by Will White ,
playing "Rule Britannia" on a violin , ,
old Father Neptune was drawn on a
species of hurdle aft to the quarter
deck , where Wcston stood ready to ro-
celvo him , with his hat In ono hand
and a case-bottle of brandy in the
other.
Under an old swab , which had been
well dried and curled to make a wig
for the son of Saturn and Vesta. IgI
recognized the grotesquely tattooed
vlsago of my friend Tom Lambournc.
A cutlass was stuck In his girdle , and [
ho wore a lingo paunch of canvas
stuffed with oakum.
In n gown'made by the sailmaker ,
Ned Carlton officiated as Amphrltrlto ;
and both deities wcro armed with harpoons
peens , as emblems of their dominion
over the sea.
The attendant Tritons were got up
In the satno fashion , and all wore false
noses of singular size and great bril
liance , with low wigs and long tails.
On Neptune and his goddess receiv
ing a dram and questioning the cap
tain about his crow , It was discovered
that Antonio and I wcro the-only two
on board who had never crossed the
line before ; whereupon the Tritons
whooped and danced as they laid vie
lent hands on me. I submitted to the
usual shaving and &o forth with a
good grace , and compounded , to avoid
other annoyances , for two bottles of
brandy , and ascending to the maln-
ci oss-trccs without going through the
lubber's hole. Hut for the Culmno
there was neither ransom , escape nor
outlet ; and the poor wretch , In consequence
quence of his mysterious antecedents ,
was very roughly handled , the more so
that ho had threatened to use his knife
If molested.
It was soon trundled out of his hand
by ono body of Tritons , while another
soused him well with salt water as ho
was conveyed past the long boat ,
which was lashed amidships , and in
which they wcro stationed with buck
ets ready filled.
Hold fast on every side , he was
brought before the "goddess-born" and
Inexorable monarch of the main , who
ordered "the Lord Chief Barber at
once to shave him. "
Now , as Antonio had n rather lux-
urlant beard and mustache , the plentl-
fill application thereto of a compound
of tar and slush , such as wo used for
greasing ( the masts , was the reverse of
agreeable ; but the stern orders of Nep
tune : , which wore bellowed hoarsely
through a tin trumpet , wore faithfully
and elaborately obeyed , and the con
tents ' of a dirty Iron pot were smeared
over the cheeks , beard and mouth of
the Cubano by Billy , a mischievous
ship-boy j , with an unsparing hand.
, "Demonio ! Maldlta ! " was heard at
intervals , and greeted with laughter ;
but when ho attempted to storm or
swear the brush a reeking tuft of
oil , , tar and every horrid grease was
thrust Into his mouth.
The Lord Chief Barber
was now
commanded to remove this noisome
mess with his razor , and he scraped It
off with a piece of hoop , which had
been , carefully notched for the purpose
, a process which , as it uprooted sun-
dry ! j thick portions of Antonio's coal-
black bristles , caused him to yell and
sputter out hoarse Spanish oaths al
ternately.
Ho was again deluged with salt
water ! ' ; and greater serverltles were
about to be practiced
upon him , as
pome of the Tritons cried for "the
ghost of Roberts to come out of the
Ben ; " others , to "smoke him , by putting -
ting his head In the hood of the cook's
funnel , " when Wcston ransomed him
for two bottles of brandy , and he was
permitted to slink away to his bunk ,
breathing vengeance against all his
tormentors.
Grog was again served round , the
deck was cleared for a dance , and the
ciow footed the hours
away hi
a sue-
cession of hornpipes , while the grim
Cubano lay growling In the forecastle.
Three cheers for
the Captain , and
three more for Marc Illslop , terminated
the fun , and all but the watch retired
below.
"They have gene too far with that
follow , as some of us may discover be
fore the voyage corned to a close , " said
Hislop , when wo were having a parting
glass in the cabin.
"Yes , " replied Weston ; "ho is a
dark dog , and though I am not very
rich , I would give a hundred pounds
to fathom the mystery of old Robert's
disappearance. Wcjl , here's to our
wives and sweethearts at home. "
"I.havc neither
sweetheart nor wife , "
said Hlslop , as he tossed off his glass ;
"but 1 have a poor , old mother who
loves hie as well ns either could do. "
Weston's eye wandered to tlib portraits
traits o his wife and child , to wliom
ho was tenderly attached , and for
whom all his savings , by salary , ton l"
nage , and hat-monoy , wcro carefully
hoarded ; for whom , poor follow , ho
tempted the dangers of the great ! deep ' ,
the war of the elements , and endured
the hardships of a sailor's life his
wlfo , his little ono , and their home
"his all ; his sheet-anchor In this
world , and his guide to the next , " as
I once heard him soy , forcibly and
strangely.
CHAPTER XIX.
The Cubano Unmasked.
As we kept the coast of South Africa
well aboard , a few days after wo saw
Capo San Roquo , or , as It Is sometimes
called , Point Pollnga , the northeast-
crn extremity of Brazil , rising from
the blue water like a purple cloud.
But ft diminished to a low black streak
on our weather quarter when the sun
set , and wo found 0111 selves ploughing
the waves of the South Atlantic.
There fell a calm for a whole day
after this , and while the Eugenic
rolled lazily on the long glassy swells ,
with her topsails flapping , and her
courses hauled up , the solo amusement
of the crow consisted In catching al
batrosses , or In killing them , unde
terred by the old superstition that it
was n bird of "good onion , " or by the
story of the "Ancient Mariner. " of.
which they were probably Ignorant.
A flock of those gigantic sea-birds
congregated under our stern , where
they gobbled up everything that was
thrown over to them ; so Illslop and I
piornedi'd methodically to fish them
on board.
We procured strong lines , baited the
hooks with pieces of pork , lashing
thereto a budy formed of a common
cork , and lowered four of them over
the stern.
They had scarcely touched the
water , when amid a furious ( lapping
of heavy pinions , ' | 'iey were eagerly
swallowed ; the hooks and lines began
to bear taught ! } * , and we soon had four
gigantic albatrosses splashing the
water Into froth in their Ineffectual
efforts to escape.
Wo towed them In , hand over hand ,
and after measurement found the
smallest to bo eleven feet from the tip
of one wing to the tip of the other.
Though rank and fishy In flavor , the
flesh of these birds was made Into
soa-plcs , on which the crow wcro ro-
galcd for two days after , and they par
took of It with great apparent relish.
But Jack Is not very particular , cs-
wiicn at sea.
Though none of the crew shared the
superstition connected with the de
struction of an albatross , and probably
none , save Hlslop and myself , knew
the splendid ballad written by Coler
idge , it would seem as If our misfor
tunes commenced with that day's wan
ton sport !
The huge sea bird * became Bhy and
left us. The sun set amid saffron-col
ored waves , and the western sky was
all aflame , when the sails began to
fill and collapse as the wind came in
heavy puffs , causing the masts to sway
from side to side , and the bellying
courses to crack and flap with a sound
like thunder.
At last there came a steady breeze ;
the courses wcro loft fall , and with
both sheets aft , for the wind was fafr ,
the Eugenie once more walked through
the shining waters.
Full , round , and silvery the moon
arose , and tipped with liquid light
OV'orv wave. that , snomnil to dntirn nn.
, ward with the brig , which In half an
hour i had the snow-white foam flying
In sheets over her catheads.
It was about the hour of 1 In the
morning that the horrible events
which , I am about to relatp occurred.
I was in the middle watch , relieving
Weston. who , as the tropical dews
were heavy , always ordered Billy the
cabin boy to glvo me a glass of bran-
dy-and-water . before going on deck , for
fear of ague , and then ho turned In.
, . The sullen Spaniard Antonio was at
the wheel. Tom Lambourne , Ned Carlton -
ton and I were walking to and fro ,
loitering at times , and looking at the
compass to sco how she headed now
aloft to observe how the sails drew
' anon over the side , where the water
bubbled merrily past , or ahead at the
patch of blue and star-studded sky
which , was visible under the leach of
the fore-course , as the brig's bow filled
every now and then , and she rolled
heavily from side to sldo , ns all ves
sels do when running before the wind.
' All was very still , for , save the bub-
bio of the water In the wako astern ,
or a gurgle as It surged up in the rud
dtl < case , the creaking of a block , or
the Iron slings of the lower yards , not
a sound stole upon the first hour of
the silent morning.
Two of the albatrosses we had
caught were hanging by the legs from
the gallows-top abaft the foremost ,
where their great extended wings
swung somewhat mournfully to and
fro In the wind and by the motion of
the ship.

HOTEL'S GOOD POINTS.
These Arc thu Iileas of u Alan AV'lia
IClKUTH , TOO.
"I have a record of over 700 hotels
where I have stopped , " volunteered a
well-known and
popular minstrel per
former to a Washington Star reporter ,
"which are scattered all over our glo
rious country , from Maine to the Rio
Grande , and It Is to be presumed that
I know something of hotel life after
living In them and In hotels alone
nine months out of every year for the
past twenty-five years. Besides the
700 and over I have a record of , I
have stopped at some hotels where
did not make a record. At many of
the 700 I have stopped from ten to
twenty times , generally from one to
six days each time. Now , what I am
getting at Is that those who complain
most of hotel llfo In this country nro
those who know the least about it
During three months of each year I
live at my own homo. I como In contact -
tact with wanderers , traveling people
like myself , and associates , by the
thousand , and I hear what they have
to say about hotels and hotel life. The
professional traveler has no kick llko
the amateur or occasional traveler ;
ho knows enough to know that ho Is
as a rule better fed at oven the second-
grade hotels than In the ordinary pri
vate house ; that is , he has more to
eat if bo desires and a larger selec
tion to choose from. As far ns the
room Is concerned , the traveling man
only has It to sleep In , and , provided
the bed Is good ho
, does not care a
rap about the other furniture , or
whether the room Is papered or white
washed or not , so that It Is clean. In
the minstrel business a ballad singer
is generally the hardest
man to plea e ,
and If wo find that ho likes a place ,
It suits all the rest of the company.
My opinion that the hotels feed well
goes with them nil , north , south , east
and west. Now and then some are
specially good. The difficulty with the
so-called poor hotels IB that the eaters
bad it Is not the
are food. A poor
sleeper llkowlfo makes a very poor
bod. The ballad singers say this , and
what they say goes for all it Is worth , "

SOUTHERN LITE nEBEPVATION
Inillnii I.iuulu In Colorado Ojionoil to
Bcttlors ,
The opening of the Southern Ute
Indian Reservation has at last been
accomplished. This vast area of arable
lands , fifteen by sixty miles In extent ,
Hus on ellhiT side of the Deliver & Rio
Orando railroad , South and East of
Uurango. Under the law , the Ute In
dians are entitled to 374 allotments ,
leaving about 036,000 ncrcs subject to
entry under the. desert homestead , tim
ber and townste ! laws and the laws
governing the disposal of coal , min
eral , stone and timber lands , and as
the Indians may lease their allotments ,
intelligent while men will soon con
trol miiny 6f them at reasonable rent
als. The lands embrace both valley
and mcsn , or uplands , but the supply
of water for Irrigation is ninny times
the amount required , making the lands
suitable for grain aijd grasses , veg
etables , alfalfa and fruit trees. Clover
often yields three and one-half tons
nor ncrn. Tim' stnnk Industry elves
promise of almost unlimited growtn.
The lands allotted to the Indians ag
gregate 60,000 acres and are generally
In compact form. They may bo leased
for three years for agricultural pur
poses and ten years for mining andj
grazing lands. These leased lands are
exempt from taxation and free from
cost of water the
charges as Indiana 1
own the canals and ditches. The rental -
is generally a small amount In cash
and from one-third to one-fourth , of
the crops. The Indians may bo hired
to work at low wages. This money and
the ? 50,000 which is to bo paid to the
Indians annually by the government
"forever , " means plenty of the circu
lating medium In the locality at all
times. Homestead settlers are required
to fay not less than $1.25 per acre ,
fifty cents of which- per acre , shall be
paid at the time of filing. This provision - >

permanent shape last week at a meet

W. II. Milburn , Jphn Holmes , M. R.
Dagger , E. L. Stetson , of Buena Vista
county'Idwa ; report as follows of the
Canadian North-West as to its suit
ability "for' farming , and the advan
tages It offers to the agricultural im
migrant from the United States :
"We , came hero sqlely to Jook up im
proved farms and , if suitable , to se
lect such as pleased us best. Wo hayo
not visited the homestead districts at
oMJ , though we " believe thqm to be very
inviting. "Our" inquiries have been
confined solely to the district around
Jiartney , Deloralne and towards the
Sourls River in Manitoba. Our 1m-
_ prjegsipne of all that region- are Jn
every way satisfactory , and we have
decided to go back to Iowa at once ,
and , having disposed of our--'several '
interests there , to return to Manitoba
in the * month of March next , and , ef
fecting our purchase of Improved
farms , which we find we can do at
reasonable rates , immediately begin
farming. We are greatly pleased wih
nil that we have seen in that part pf
Western Canada. The soil we find to
be more than equal to that of our own
country for wheat-growing , and the
other conditions of climate , schools ,
markets , etc. , are all that wo could
wish for.
"To show what an energetic man
can do wo may mention Uiat we found
one such at Hartney who had rented
a farm on shares , receiving two-thirds
of the returns as his share of the
crop. When he came to sell his own
produce ho found that his two-thirds ,
when converted Into cash , was enough
to buy the farm he rented out and
out , which he accordingly did , and is
now Its owner. It Is our Intention to
Induce as many of our friends as pos
sible , who arc practical farmers , to re
move from Iowa to this country ,
where we believe there is a better
future for the Industrious man than
is now to be found anywhere on this
continent. We arc well known In our
parf. of the state of Iowa , and we In
vite correspondence from Its residents
in all parts with regard to this re
gion of Western Canada which we
have visited , and to which we Intend
to return. " '
