WRECK OP THE "MY POLICY," AND UTTER DESPAIR
OF THE "MAN AT THE WHEEL."
The heavy etorm that pased over Pennsyl
vania, Ohio, Indiana, and Iowa last Tiies
day, had a very damaging effect on the various
Craft that were caught out in it. Heavy blowing
was observable irom all points of the compass
several days before the storm, and clouds seemed
to be gathering on the horizon. On the morning
of Tuesday the sun rose bright a9 usual, but be
fore noon it was evident that the bart My Policy,
Captain Andrew Johnson, would either go under
or else be dashed to pieces on the breakers. The
pumps were worked vigorously all day long,
under the supervision of First Male Randall and
Purser McCulloch. The bilge was attempted
to be kept clear byClymer and the other dock
hands, but notwithstanding their most vigorous
efforts, the waves so overwhelmed them as to
continually keep thi'm undpr water, and before
six o'clock that night the craft went down with
all on board.
The My Policy was very badly rigged, and
ranked II, and was copper fastened throughout.
She was condemned as unseaworthy by the
Government inspectors in the fore part of last
summer, and should have been laid up then, but
her captain insisted upon running her, notwith
standing her leaking badly in every trip she
made; and came near foundering in her last trip
to Chicago and back, last September. She
would have dou so, had it not been for the
efforts of Reward and Grant, the carpenter aud
gunner, who threie overboard everything in order
to lighten her, and keep her leak above the
water. She last spring ran against the old Tug
Iliad, ttevens, and got such a knock right be
tween wind and water that it took careful trim
ming of the vessel, whpn under sail, to keep her
afloat; in fact, the carpenter had been kept to
work day and night upon her ever since the ac
cident, and be believed, we think, that she
would never be made tight or much of a vessel
with all the repairing he could put on her.
Although a comparatively new vessel, her main
timberi were rotten, and she had weak knees, con
sequently it was impossible for her to carry the
sal) that the captain continually insisted upon
crowding upon her. The underwriters, we under
eland, had not made out her policy at the time
she went down, consequently she is a total loss,
which falls mobtly upon tne captain, who wa9
her principal owner.
The My Policy was built and launched at
Washington, D. C, last April, and hus had a
very ttorjoj time of it ever since. At the laying
ol the keel last March, the Secretary of the
Navy was not invited to bo piesent, the captain
not bfing able to remember his name. Anothrr
incident that happened at her launching seemed
to be the forerunner of misfortune to the craft.
As they were knocking away the scaffolding
around her, preparatory to Lcr launch, Freed
man's Kill was killed outright, and several of
his co-laborers severely wounded.
Tho captain han made several trips, but none of
them have proved profitable to him. The first
accident to the My Policy was, as before
noticed, running Into the tug Thad. Stevens,
and after that, on a little pleasure excursion
with a party of the captain's friends on the
22d of February, when she was caueht In a
little squall, which carried away her figure
head (a "duck"), also her forestay and main
mast, ThlBHCciilcnthappened by the party being
a little Jolly, and a Philadelphia pilot by the
name of Tom Florence being at the wheel,
whose experience In navigating so large a craft
was very limited. Putting into Port, they re
paired the craft as well os they could, throwing
tho "duck" overboard and getting tho carpenter
to rig up a jury mast, the Invention of Mr.
Stanbery, and she has sailed ever since with that
imperfect ri'i. She was always "down by the
head," as the sailors have it, and steered very
"wide," paying but little attention to her helm
during a blow. The captain did better laying
in Port than when under weigh. Her model
was entirely original, with too much of the
"Rake" about her, and experienced nautical
nicu, such as Stanton, Chase, Harlan, and
others, always predicted that, whatever
she might do in fair weather, she would
never live in a storm, aud the second
Tuesday in October storms were looked for by
many as resulting in the total wreck of the
craft, unless the captaiu would discharge his
crew and dismantle the ship. But advice not
being heeded, the result is as we lay before our
readers to-day. Perhaps no cratt that was ever
built was ever run by any man against such
overwhelming testimony, by competent judges,
as lo its utter un worthiness. Aud although
well provisioned, and manned by picked men,
and experienced ones, such as llandnll, first
mate, Seward, carpenter, Stanberry, rigger,
Raymond, sailmaker, Welles, captain of the
forctop, and others before the mast, she went
down in spite of the best management, from the
sole cause that she was rotten and unworthy..
We hope no more shallops of that bui.d will
ever again spread sail In these waters
True, if Important.
The Washington correspondent of the Daily
Blank Book has sent on privately to the Series
Editor tho followinir information:
Washington, October 10. The President has
just sent in to the Attorney-General the follow
ing questions, and requested that a response to
them be returned in writing, in tbe Welsh
language:
First. The names of the different States
(spelled out In full) that have given Democratic
majorities, and in favor of "My Policy;" also,
the official figures of such majorities?
Secondly. As to tho exact whereabouts of my
old friend Raymond, and whether he has re
covered from his distemper, occasioned by being
poisoned by a noxious Weed ?
Thirdly. Whether, in the event of my death,
niynext of kin will be entitled to my Lite Insu
rance in case the clerks of the Company have,
from want ot time or other causes, been "unable
to made out my Policy ?"
Fourthly. Whether, in the event of my not
being re-elected, the Constitution could ever be
recovered after my having left it in so many
people's hands during my late trip to Chicago?
Fifthly. Whether the Philadelphia Post Oflktt
and indeed all others in that Stale, are clear of
the radicals; aud if they are, why my friend
C'lymer has not sent nie the official election
returns of his State?
Sixthly. When will be the election for Mayor
in Philadelphia? and do the citizens intend ever
to have a Mayor, or are they going to dispense
with one, as heretofore?
Seventhly'. Whether the Constitution of Jeffer
son Davis suffers by being left in Fortress. iuon.
roe, and whether it would be safe to leave it in
the hands of Judge Underwood ?
Eighthly, Do you think it would be a Congress
such as the Constitution requires without any
Democrats In it, and if the next Congress should
assemble without a Democrat, would it be safe to
leave myself in their hands?
Upon the reply that may be made by the Attorney-General
to the above, the President will
take bis stand, and break it all to pieces, in
cluding the wash-bowl and pitcher.

THE PRURIENT PRUDE.
Letter from C:hnrlc llcartc CouccrnlK
MJrlflUli tlnuul."
Jo the Jiililor of 77ic Evening Telegraph :
Sir: There is a kind of hypocrite that has
never been effectually exposed lor want of an
expressive name. I beg to supply that defect in
our language, and Introduce to mankind the
"Prurient Prude." Modesty in man or woman
shows Itself by a certain slowness to put
a foul construction on things, and also by
unobtrusively shunning Indelicate matters and
discussions. The "Prurient Prude," on the con
trary, Itches to attract attention by a parade of
modesty (which is the mild form of the dis
ease), or even by rashly accusing others oi im
modesty (and this Is the noxious form).
"Doctor Johnson," said a lady, "what 1
admire In your dictionary is that you have in
serted no improper words."
"What ! you looked for tbem, madam ?" said
the Doctor.
Hers was a "1'rurlcnt Prude" that would have
taken in an ordinary lexicographer.
The w ickeder kind ot "Prurient Prude" has
committed great ravages in our English rail
ways, where the carnages, you must know, aie
small and seldom filled. Respectable men found
themselves alone with a hy-laoKing leinalc, ad
dressed a civil remam to her, were accused at
the end of the journey of attempting her virtue,
and punished unjustly, or else had to buy her
off, till at last, as I learn from an article in the
Saturday lieview, many worthy men refused to
sit in a carriage where there was a woman only,
such terror had the "Pruru nt Prude" inspired
in manly breasts. The last of these heroines,
however, came to eriel : her victim showed right,
submitted to trial, and set the polico on tier.
She proved to be, as any one versed in human
nature could have foretold, a w oman of remark
ably loose moral?, and she is at this moment
expiating her three P's Prudery. Prurience,
and Perjury In one of her Majesty's dols.
Sonic years bbo an English baronet was nearly
ruinea and separated from bis wile by one of
these ladies. He was from the country, and by
force ot habit made his toilet nearer the window
than a Londoner would. A "Prurient Prude"
lurked opposite, and watched him repeatedly,
which is just what no modest woman would
have done once, and interpreting each un
guarded action by the light of her own foul
imagination, actually brought a criminal charge
against the poor soul. The charge tell to the
ground the moment it was silted; bu, in the
meantime, what agony had the "Prurient
Prude" indicted on an innocent family !
Lnforti.nately, the "Prurient Prude" is not
confined to the femole sex. It is not to be
found among men of masculine pursuits; but it
exists among writers. ExauiDle: A divorce
case, unfit for publication, is teported by all the
English journals. Next day, instead of being
allowed to die. it is renewed in a leader. The
writer of this leader begins by complaining of
the courts of law tor giving publicity to Filth.
(N. 13. The ridiculous misuse ot this term,
where not filth but crime is intended, is an
infallible 9ign of a dirty mind, and marks the
"Prurient Prude.") After this flourish of
prudery, Pruriens goes with gusto into the
details which he had just said were untit for
publication. Take your file of English journals,
and vou will soon lay jour hand on this varietv
of the "Prurient Prude." A harmless little
humbug enough.
But, as among women, so among writers, the
"1 rurient Prude" becomes a less transparent
and more dangerous impostor, when, strong in
the shelter of the anonymous, which nides from
the public his own dissolute lite and obscene
conversation, he reads his neighber bv the light
of his own corrupt imiigmation, and so his pru
rieut piudery lakes tbe. form of slander, and
assassinates the fair fame of bis moral, intellec
tual, ana social superior.
Jsow the five or six "Prurient Prudes" who
defile the American press have lately selected
me, of all persons, for their victim. They are
tijing hard to make the American public be
lieve two monstrous falsehood? tir.t, that they
are pure-minded men; secondly, that I am an
impure writer.
Of course, If these five or six "Prurient
Prudes" had the courage to do as 1 do, sign
their names to their personalities, their names
and their characters would be all the defense 1
should need. But, by withholding their signa
tures they give the same weight to their state
ments that an honest man gives by appending
his signature, and compel me out of respect to
the American public, whose esteem I value, to
depart from the usual practice of authors in my
position, and to honor mere literary vermin
with a reply. The case, then, stauus thus. I
have produced a story called "Griffith Gaunt;
or, jeaiouoy." mis, story nas, eyer since L2
cember, 18G5, Tioaied the Argosy, au English
periodical, and.has been eutrcrl.y read in the pages
of tl'i3 Atlantic Monthly. In tiiis tale I have to
deal, as an artist and a scholar, with tbe very
period Henry Fielding has described to the
sausiaciion or rrurient rruaes; a period in
which manners and speech were somewhat
blunter than now-a-days; and I have to portray
a great aud terrible passion, Jealousy, and show
its manifold consequences, of which even Biga
my (in my story I Is one, aud that w ithout any
violation ot pronuDiuty. xnen 1 proceed to
show the misery inflicted on three persons by
Digamy, wnicn i uenounce as a crime, in my
double character of moralist and artist. I pre
sent not the delusive 6hadow oi bigamy, but its
substance, ine consequence is, that instead ot
shedding a niild lustre over bigamy, I till ray
readers with a horror of bigamy, and a whole
some indignation against iiiy principal male
character, so lar as i nave snown mm. ut
course "Unuith oaunt," nte "uatd tasn," is
not a child's book, nor a little girl's book:
it is an ambitious story, in which 1
present the great passions that poets have sung
wnn applause in all ages; it is not a ooattul or
pap; but I am not paid the price of pap. Bv
the very nature of my theme 1 have been coni-
E piled now and then to tread on delicate ground ;
ut 1 have trodden lightly aud passed on switily,
and to will all the pure-minded men and women
who read me. No really modest woman will
ever suffer any taint by reading "Griffith Gaunt,"
unless, indeed, she returns to its perusal, un
sexed. and filled with prurient curiosity, by
tne ioui interpretations ot tne "Prurient
Prudes." Theu come a handful ot scrib
blers, whose lives are loose and their con-i
versation obscene. They take my text, aud
read, it, not by it a own 1'mht, but by the light
of their own foul imaginations; and having so
defiled it, by mixing their own bltby minds with
it, they sit in judgment on the compound. To
these impostor I say no more. Tho two words,
"Prurient Prude," will soon run round tho
Union, and render its citizens somewhat less
gullible bv that cliit-s o I impostors. One person
however, lias slandered nie so maliciously ami
so busilv, that I am compelled to notice him in
dividuauy, tho nioreo as I am about to sue an
English weekly lor merely quoting him. Tho
editor of a New York weekly called the Bound
lab'.e has printed a mass of scurnlitv, direct an i
vicarious, to this purport; "
1. That "Griffith Gaunt" Is an indecent publ
cation.
2. That it is immoral.
.8. That, like other novelists, the author dealt
In adultery, bigamy, aiid naiuetesi, soci il
crimes. ' .' . ,
4. But that, unlike the mojonty ol my prede
cessor, I side with tho crimes I depict.
6. That the modesty and purity ot womeu
cannot survive the perusal of "Griffith Gaunt."
6. That this story was uecliued by so:ne of the
lowest sensational weekly papers of New York,
on tho ground that they did not ,dare to under
take its publication,
7. Paosinit iroui personal to vicarious slander,
ho prints the ileiterot an animal calling itself
G. 8. H., who suoreciUi that aome interior writer
wrote "Griffith Gaunt," and that I lent my name
to it tor a foreign market, iind so he and I com
bined to swindle the Boston puolishers this, in
England, we call lelony. ,
Now, sir, I have often known some obscure
dunce, who had the alvantage oi concealing his
nameless name, treat an esteemed author wito
lofty contempt in tLC columns ol a journal, and
call his masterpiece a sorry production. I my
self am well accustomed to thiii sort oi iiijiiHin e
and irifolence Irom scribbler, wlr couM not
write my ewalht chapter to save their circuses
from the callows, and their souls tioin prema
ture damnation. But the spite and vanity of
our Inferiors in tlie grcnt, profound, mid diffi
cult art of writing Is gri.erallj satisfied by call
ing us dunces, ana bunglers, and coxcombs, and
that sort of thin?.
In all my experience I never knew the prc
guilty of such a crime as the editor of th'3
Bound 'I able has committed. It is a deliberate
attempt to assassinate tho moral character of
an author and a gentleman, and to stab the
ladies of his own family to thp heart, under
pretense ot protecting the women of a nation
from the demoralizing Iniluence of bis pen.
You will bee at once that I could not hold
any communication with tne Bound YVifre or its
editor, and I must, therefore, trust to Ameri
can justness and generosity, and ask leave to
reply in respectable columns.
In answer to statements 1, 2, 4, and 5, I pledge
the honor of a gcuilemnn that they are delibe
rate and Intentional falsehoods, Htid I under
take to prove this before twelve honest Ameri
can citizens, sworn to do justice between man
and man.
As to No. 3. I reallv scarce know what my
slanderer mcatu. "Griffith Gaunt," under a de
lusion, con mits bienmy; and of course bigamy
may by a slight perversion of terms bo called
adultery. But no truthtut person, attacking,
cbamcier, would apply both terms to a single
act. Is bigamy more than polygamy ? And is
polygamy called that, and adultery too, in every
distiict ot the United States?
As to "tbe nameless social crimes," what does
the beast mean? Did he find tbe:.e in his own
foul iniacln.Uion, or did he lind them in my
text? It it was in the latter, of course be cau
point to the page. He shall nave an oppor
tunity. Statement 6 Is a lie by way of equivocation.
The truth Is, that before "Griffith Gaunt" was
written, an agent of mine proposed to me to
found tome newpnper proprietor, who had
hitherto stolen my works, as to whether they
wotld like to buy a story ot me, instead of
stealing it. I cousente I to this preliminary
question being put, and I don't know what they
replied to mv agent. Probably the idea of buy
ing, where they had formed a habtt of stealing,
was distasteful to them. But this you may rely
on, that I never submit a line ot manuscript to
the judgment of any trader whatever, either In
England r in America, and never will. Nothing
is ever discussed between a trader and me
except the bulk and the price. The price is
sometimes a high one; but always a lair one,
founded on my sales. If ho has not the courage
to pav tor it, all tbe wor'e for him. If he has,
the bargain is signed, nnd then, and not till
then, be sees the copv.
I never intrusted a line of "Griffith (jaunt' to
an agent. I never sent a line of it aeross tho
Atlantic to Buy humau being, except to the firm
of Ticknor & Fields; and even to that tespect
able firm, one of the partners in which is mv
valued friend, I did not send a line of it until
they had purchased of me the light to publish
it in the United States. And this purchase was
made on the basis of an old standing agreement.
Corn) are these facts with tlie impression a
miserable prevaricator has sought to create, to
wit, that the proprietor of some low join nal was
allowed to read tbp manuscript or unpuhnshed
sheets of "Griffith Gaunt," and declined it on
the score of morality.
Statement 7. which accuses me of a literary
felony, is a deli berate, intentional falsehood.
The Argosy is hold in New York, in great num
bers, price sixpence. The editor of the Hound
lable is aware of this, and has seen "Griffith
Gaunt" in It, with my name attached; jet he
was 60 bent on slandering me, by hook or by
crook, thnt he printed tbe letters "G. 8. II."
without contradiction, and so turne.1 the con
jecture of a mere fooljnto a libel and a li.
I shall enly add thnt I mean to collar tbe
editor ot the Bound Table, and drair him and his
slanders before a jury of his countrymen. He
thinks there Is no law, justice, or humanity for
an Englishman in the great United States. We
shall see.
Pending the legal inquiry, I earnestly request
my friends in the United States to let me know
who this editor of the Bound Table is, aud all
about him, so that we may meet on lair terms
before the jury.
All editois of American journals who have
any justice, fair play, or common humanity lo
spare to au iujured stranger, will print this
letter, in which one man defends himself against
many ; and will be good enough to acceptj my
thanks lor the same in this writing.

P. S. I demand as my right the undivided
honor of all tha Insults that have been mis
directed against Messrs. Ticknor A Fields, ot
Boston, These gentlemen have had no alterna
tive: they could not bow to slander, and dis
continue "Griffith Gaunt" in the Atiantic

driving their suosenuers to tne Araosu. Tin
whole credit and discredit of "Griffith Gaun."
