Wild Men In the Crew. 4
The ship Sharon, while cruising In the
Southern Patltic, had the usual luck which
followed whalers in that warm latitude-
desertion of members of the crew and
Captain Howes Norrls found It necessary
to recruit from tho Kings Mill group of
Islands. It was the act of a commander

who was put to the last result In thus ship-
wild men to, assist In working the
and the remnant of tho crew who
; remained ' loyal to Captain Norris found
trouble the moment those savages stepped
j on deck. They were utterly useless as
sailors; they could neither go , aloft nor
stand a trick at the wheel. They were use
ful only in tailing on In handling the ropes,
j In a whaleboat they were even worse than
j a dummy, and so it was that In the fall of
! IS 12 the Sharon found itself in a peculiar
j predicament while on the whaling grounds.
; Alter these savages, four in number, had
been on, the whaler two weeks they re
pented of their foolishness. The' restraint
; of ship life was too much for them, and
with each day they gave evidence of
trouble, but no one on the old whaler
feared the quartet, knowing full well that
they could easily be handled with the tirst
appearance of an outbreak. Captain Norrls
was only a young man. with ideas of bis
own about discipline. It was his effort in
maintaining discipline that had caused the
deawrtions, and It was In reality his own
doing that brought on the trouble which
followed.
One afternoon whales were raised and
every ' boat was lowered, leaving on the
ship only Captain Norris, a' Portuguese lad
named Jose dos Reis-and the four savages.
Oftentimes in giving chose to whales the
boats go a long distance from the ship, and
so-lt was that day. While tho boats were
away the. Kings Mill-Islanders executed a
scheme which no doubt bad been in their
minds for days after leaving their island
home that of taking the ship. While Cap
tain Norrls and the Portuguese lad were
on deck watching the boat engaged in the
chase tho four Bavages bounded from the
forecartlo decorated In war .' paint and
armed with spears. . The Portuguese lad
had the wheel at the time and. seeing them
coming aft. sang out to Captain Norrls, but
ust too late, for the captain was Instantly
killed by a spear thrown by one of the
would-be sailors. . This caused the lad to
run for his life, and he fled to tho mizzen
rieging. up which the savages did not dare
ascend. They bad control of the ship, bow
ever, and knowing nothing about a vessel,
it' va wed and wabbled like an old scow
adrift. Its strange actions attracted tho
attentiou of the olUcera away In . the boats,
and after signaling each other they gave
tip pursuit of the whales and headed Tor
the ship. As the boats approached the
Sharon the Portuguese : lad warned the
crews to be wary and explained what had
happened.

however, was at a loss what to do. Third
Mate dough suttRested that the hoala
make a dash for the ship together, rench
the deck and overpower the Inlanders. T!ut
Mr. Smith did not care to take such a
chance. For two hours the bnnts hung
about the-ship, out of Tnnse of the spesr
of the natives, dough asked tn be put
near the ship for a chance at hitrpoonlnR
the dark skins, but Mate Smith hadn't the
nerve to try that plan of capture. Then
Clongh suggested . that with darknetia lie
would swim to the ship and enter the
cabin, where he could procure firearms
and at the first shot the boats' crew were
to make a dash for the ship.
The Sharon, fortunately, had two old
fashioned square windows astern, making
possible the plan proposed. Clough took
tho water ahead of tho shiu. It being In
the game to keep the savages Intent on
tho boats. He slipped out of his boat
noiselessly snd swam under tha water, in'
tending to reach the side of tha ship and
work his way along to the rudder, but the
moment he let himself over tha whaleboat
the Sharon was taken aback by the very
light wind with no one at the wheel, and
when he reached the surface he faund
himself some distance from the craft. In
that latitude to strike out and make hi
way to the stern on the surface meant
a dead giveaway, foe. the phosphorescent
water was unusually brilliant and con'
tact with it ould cause 'such a sparkle
as would he sure to betray his approach.
He was a clever swimmer, and he knew
that if he struck out for the ship the game
was up. And right here Is where ho dis
played excellent judgment. He didn't daro
go down for fear of creating too much
disturbance of the water, but instead
"treaded water" until near enough to the
ship to be unobserved by anyone on dock,
when he went along the side until he j
reached the stern. It was a cleverly per
formed act, fof, as every swimmer knows, 1
"treading water," while producing little or
no agitation of the surface, Is extremely
slow.
Reaching the rudder, he climbed up and
entered through the starboard window
looking down upon two sharks which had
turned for a nab at blm Just as he drew
himself up on the rudder. He had divested
himself of all clothing, and when he stepped
into the cabin he was as free from encum
brance as the four savages In control of
the ship. He obtained two muskets and a
pair, of cutlasses from the captain's room,
and just an ho started to go up on deck,
after loading the guns In the dark, for he
dare not strike a light, he faced one of the
savages. The struggle? was a short one. but
the noise occasioned brought the others
aft. and for a brief period, which must
have seemed hours to young Clough. It wss
a fight against big odds. Clough came off
Mllo, who knew that Captain Nye was to
make a dash for liberty, and every man
on' that old ship prayed for his success.
Captain Nyo had lost the ship Abigail
by the Shenandoah a short time pre
vious while cruising In the Okhotsk sen.
This was on Saturday, May 27. and the
captain and his crew were taken to the
Shenandoah as prisoners. His pluck ns
serted Itself even while a prisoner on the
steamer, and he made Captain Waddell's
life anything but pleasant while on board.
His star was a ahort one, but lor
enough to suit Waddell and his officers.
who, when Nye was forward In Irons,
dreaded conversation with blm. Of the
twenty-seven whalers destroyed by tho
Shenandoah it) northern waters, twenty'
flve were captured two months ufter the
victorious, two of the savages making good
their escupe 011 the death of their eecond
companion. At this point the crew In
charge of the first officer reached the ship,
which later was taken to Sydney, N. S. W.
The news of dough's daring reached New
Bedford long belore the ship returned home,
and upon his arrival he was given a royal
reception. His next voyage was as master.
It was certainly a daring act.' one which,
has not sinco been equalled. Like a true
hero, however, he celdom during, his life
alluded to It.
No more heroic deed was ever performed
than tliat undertaken by Captain Ebenezer
F. Nye and the brave men who volun
teered to peril their lives In an open boat
In the summer of 1SC5, while prisoners on
the bark MIIo In , the Arctic ocean. It was
an act which startled every prisoner on tho
ship at tho time, for within.. Bight of the
Mllo, which bad been captured by the
Shenandoah and bonded by Captain James
I. Waddell, its commander, was the rehol
steamer Itself, its crew keeping a watch
ful eye on the prisoners who had been
transferred from the steamer. , It was Cap-
tain Nye who was the leading spirit In this
undertaking, and he took with him roPti
known to ba fearless sailors from his Capo
Cod home, who had put him onto many a
large whale, and right hero It may be
stated that tho men who go up onto 'them
leviathans of the deep must of necessity
be endowed with wonderful pluck. The
very boldness of that midnight undertak
ing on June 22 appealed to those on the
civil war had closed, and Captain Nye
hud tho courage to face the commander
of the Shenandoah and tell him that he
was engaged In an act of piracy, showing
him lata papers giving the details of the
downfall of the confederacy. Waddell
would not listen, and when Nye In plain
English called him a pirate who deserved
hanging at the yardami tho during Cape
Coddcr was forcibly removed frcm Wad
dell's presence and placed In double irons.
Even that punishment did not break tha
whalemau'a spirit, and when later the Mllo
was captuied it was with relief that the
officers of tha Shenandoah, saw Nye go
aboard the prison ship. Little did thoKo
men think that the frail but energetic
whaling master would ba the means of
thwarting them In their piratical under
taking. But he was, and the owners of
the ship which ha saved, on his return
home, presented him an elegant gold time
piece as a memento of that event.
Cptaln Nye had not been long on the Mllo
when he began his plans for his brilliant
dash. He learned from late captives that
quite a number of tha Arctic fleet lay to
the northeast of Cape Naverino, oblivious
of the fact that tha Shenandoah was in
that latitude ready to wreak ruin and de
struction on Yankee property. Picking liia
men, one of the whalcboata was secretly
provisioned, and In tha dead hours of night
he, with his brave men, lowered that small
boat and put off to the rescue of other
whalers, reaching the unsuiectlng mari
ners, ship by ship, until all Itad been
warned. It was, Indeed, a courageous act,
for had he and his boat's crew been caught
they would have paid , the peruilty with
their lives. But they suceeded after a most
perilous cruio In an open boat in thut icy
ocean, and the best part of this story Is
that every ship warrul by tha daring Nye
succeeded In making Its escape from the
clutches of Waddell, who raved at his luck
when ha learned that their escape was due
Xj3 the Abigail's firebrand Yankee, as ho
called Captain Nye.
The remnant of the Arctic Beet reached
San Francisco in vafety. where Nye and
his boat's crew wers Joyfully received.
Captain Waddtll had frequently remarked
to his purser, C. li. Hunt, that Nye was
the boldest Yankee he ever saw, and pre
dicted that a dozen such men on the cruiser
would have taken the steamer, and he was
more than pleased when Nye left the Shen
andoah, but he lit tin droumed of being so
cleverly balked In a scheme which ha fur
months had planned to execute. As It was.
up to that time Waddell struck tha most
