Flight of Capt. Ca'tibtree.

‘ Captain Ebenezer Stmcox Was a dapper
little fellow. who had an exalted Opinion
ol’lhia own merit; and good loolu, and who
took great pleasure in decorating his per.
eon, elpecially when about ‘to enter into
the company of the ladiea. He was a lit
tle choleric in his temper. but as smart as
a steel trap. and always on shore looked
on nice on a new pin. or as it he had jUal
been taketrout of a bandbox marked “thin
aide up with care.”
Capt. Simcox once commanded the ship
Spouter, at Providence. too a voyage to
Copenhagen. One evening. at a pat ty,
he formed an acquaintance with an odd.
looking German nobleman. “ho .seemed
quite pleated with the conversation and
bearing of the gentlemanly Yankee. A
low dayl alterwarda hiq'lttend, the Ame
rican Consul. put inhis hands a note,
written on emboaaed gilt edge paper, (not
ao‘common in those days as now.) with
armorial hearings on the coal. "What is
in the wind now P" exclaimed the Yankee,
with a look of aurpriae, no he drew 0!! his

"An imitation from Count Wogonatrofl
alty to dine, lexpect," replied the Worthy
Consul!
"I believe it is.” remarked Simcox,
with a smile, which was soon changed in
to a terrible frown as he read these words:

and in a few minutes his grufi voice was
heard calling tor the steward. That im»
pnrtnnt lunctinnury Bmm opened the dnnr
of the state mom, and thrust within his
lable vintage.
' Steward!’ exclaimed the skipper with
a trcmulnua accent indicating alarm, {find

‘ Clean shirt! all gone, aare.’
‘ All gone? \Nhat do you mean P Get

you put on yesterday mo.nin:. when you

together. it was so old, and all the others

‘ Here’s a pretty predicament,’ growled
Crabtree. ' Invited out to dinner and can't
go for want of a ahirt! Oh! it ia.too bad.
Steward, what shall I do P’
' Better wear the old one, .lare,‘ sug
gested the steward. '
' That's oui of the question. Snowball.’
replied Crabtree. ‘l [mod it unaeaworthy

‘Ah!’ aaid blackcy. ‘that'a very bad.

‘Be 06' you stupid blurkhead. You

you, on dcckg' and as the steward, with a
broad grin overspteading the whole of his
face. aucceulully‘ dodged a ' Bowditch’s
Epitome’ aimed at his head, and darted
up the companionway, Captain Crabtree’a
countenance kindled with a gloom of ant
isfaction. '1 have it !' said he—' 1 have
it !' he repeated. with all the enthuuaatic
joy of the old Syracusan stage. when he
untied a knotty prohlem in mathematics—
‘and he hastened to avail himsellol the wise
thought which had Just popped itaell into
hi 9 nodule.
Now Captain Crabtree had a Very neat
dickey in his trunk. A dickey, as every
one knows. is. or was a short boaom, with
a handaome collar attached. and would
aerve on a pinch, an a very good apology
[or a shirt—indeed, dandiea in those days
often (lit-[tensed with it shirt [or Weeka and
montha together. Crnbtrce, with a degree
‘ol presence ul mind and truitlulneaa in ex
pedienta, which were characteristic of that
worthy seaman, resolved to [net himself
no more (or the absent shirt. but to make
the dickey do double duty on the impor
tant occasion.
\‘ He arrayed hitnaell accordingly, leaked
in his glans. antl admired his appearance.
He lelt cool and comfortable too—and that
is something gained on a sultry day in
July. He even began to entertain the
idea ol discarding altogether, aa superflu

hitherto considered indispensable, espe

time. as he had a strange habitol throwing
‘ ofl' hia’ coat when oppressed With heat.
, without much regard to his company or
, circumstances. he took the precautionito
prevent t-uch an awkward occurrence on
the present occur-inn. by stitching his coat
and black velvet vest together. ‘ '
[At the appointed hour. Capt. Crabtroe
entered the mansion of the German noble

IMEN
When dinner was over. he was chal
lenged by a lady to play a game of bil
liarth. The greater part of the company
adjourned to the billiard room. to be wit
neaaes ol the game—and the Captain, af
tera' {cw umuccenlul strokes with his
cue. involuntarily essayed to throw 0" his
coat. declaring that he could never play
with that heavy garment on. The coat
clung with a sort of lraternal affection to
the vest. but the irnpctuous sailor could
not take the hint or bruok delay. Another
desperate effort, a couple of buttons gave
way. and the coat and veal, beingunwil
ling topart company. were both stripped
off, and throun triumphantly on a chair!
when lo! the Captain stood in the Initial
oi the assembly. grasping hi 3 cut with n
ibusiner‘as-likc air. and arrayed as If for a
lpugiliatic content in lhe prize ring!
A urn-am lrnm the ladies. and some
emphatic exclamations [tom the gentle
men, (inst reminded the lorgetlul sailor
that something was wrong; He glanced
at his bare arms. then caught a view at
his whole person in a large mirror, and thet
truth tushed upon his mind like a flash 0!
lightning. The dickey was doing all it
could to supply the plaice nl n more ample
garment, but it was wilfully deficient in
dimensions—and to the astonished Cap
tain, seemed shrunk to hull its usual size?
Captain Crablree dio‘ppt‘d his cue, gave
a soil of convulsive jump. which would
do credit to s harlequtn vault", uttered
t aloud denti'snnge salt-waterhmvl. which
was heard a mile ofl,nnd scampercd down
stairs into the street. regardless of the
blushes ot the ladies. or the storm of his
sos and reulings from the scandalized
gentlemen. He stopped not but flew
through the streets, looking like a fright
ened madman. while the wondering popu
lace shouted and clapped their hanvls, or
sprang aside to give a hair field for his
race. This only added to his speed. and
in a low minutes he was strongly moored
ID his state room. on board his good ship
with the door closed behind him. and se
curely bolted. The flight ot Capt. Crab- l
tree was a theme a! story and 0! song for
months alterwards—and those who wit
nessed it, will never forget it until their
dying day.
As for Count \Vogonstroflsky. he hard
ly knew what to make 0! it-—at first. he
was disposed to resent it as a deliberate
aflrant. and sent Crabttee a polite and
pressing invitation to meet him in the
Deer Park. to settle the affair with pistols.
An explanation, however. disattned the
good hearted German at his wrath, and
provoked his mirth—and he dearly loves
to tell the story to every stranger who vi
sit his house. He formed a resolution at
he time, however, lo be chulious how he
invited 'old saulta’ to his select party in
future-—and lolemnl declared that if he
ever again aeked a Yankee ahipmuter to
dine with him he would caution him to
bring: shirt along with him! You, my
dear lellow. are the first Yankee whom he
has honored with an invitation since Capt.
