CHAPTER XVII.
NARRATIVE CONTINUED BY THE
DOCTOR - THE JOLLY-BOAT'S EAST
TRIB.
This (if Ih trip was quite different from
any oJ the others. In the first place, the
little gallipot of a boat that we were in
vtu gravely overloaded. Five grown
nwn, aud three of them —Trelawney,
Redruth and the captain—over six feet
high, was already more than she was
meant Jo carry. Add to that the pow
der, pork and the bread-bag's. The
jjunwa'.e was lipping astern. Several
times wf shipped a little water, and my
breeches and the tails of my coat were
all AimUing wet before wo had gone 100
yards.
The captain made us trim the boat,
and we got her to lie a little more even
ly. vAU the same, we were afraid to
breathe.
In the second place, the ebb was now
making;—a strong rippling current run
ning- westward through the basin, and
then south'ard and seaward down the
straits by which we bad entered in the
ironing Even the ripples were a dan
ger la mtr overloaded craft; but the
worst of it was that we were swept out
of ottr true course, and away from our
proper landing-place behind the point.
If we let the current have its way we
should come ashore beside the gigs,
where thr pirates might appear at any
moment.
"I cannot keep her head for the
stockade. sir." said I to the captain. I
vras steering, while he and Redruth,
two freuli men, were at the oars. "The
tide Weeps washing her down. Could
you pull a little stronger?"
"N*it without swamping the boat,"
«aid he. "You must bear up, sir, if you
yilpaite- bear tip until you see you're
ig'aijiteg."
I tried, and found by experiment that
<he Side kept sweeping us westward un
til I bad laid her head due east, or just
about right angles to the way we ought
to go.
"We'll n-ever get ashore at this rate,"
said I.
"If it's the only course that we can
lie, *ir, we must even lie it," returned
the captain. "We must keep upstream.
You nee. sir," he went on, "if once we
■droppci! to leeward of the landing
place, it's hard to say where we should
get ashore, besides the chance of be
ing Isoarded by the gigs; whereas, the
way we go the current must slacken,
ami ther* we can dodge back along the
•bore."
"The enrrent's less a'ready, sir," said
the vnua Gray, who was sitting in the
fore-sheets; "you can ease her off a bit."
"Thank you, my man," said I, quite as
if nothing had happened; for we had
all quietly made up our minds to treat
binn Jif;e one of ourselves.
Suddenly the captain spoke up again,
and I thought his voice was a little
changed.
"The gun.'" said he.
"1 have thought of that," said I, for I
made mire he was thinking of a bom
bardment of the fort. "They could
ievrr get the gun ashore, and if they
.lid, they could never haul it through
the v:oo£i."
"Look astern, doctor," replied the
captain.
We fcnti entirely forgotten the long
nine; and there, to our horror, were the
five rogues busy about her, getting off
her jacket, as they called the stout
tarpaulin cover under wihich she
sailed. Not only that, but it flashed into
tny mind at the same moment that the
round shot and the powder for the gun
had been left behind, and a stroke with
au ax would put it all into the possets
don of the evil ones aboard.
"J*rae! was Flint's gunner," said
Grny. hoarsely.
At any risk, we put the boat's head
direc< for the landing-place. I'y this
time we had got so far out of the run
of t&r current that we kept steerage
way at our necessarily gentle rate
of xowifflgL, and I could keep her steady
for itoe goal. But the worst of it was
that, with the course 1 now held, we
turned our broadside instead of our
stem to the "Hispaniola," and offered a
target a barn door.

ea('J»in.

"Mr. Trelawney, will you please pick
me off one of those men, sir? Hands,
if possible," said the captaiu.
Trelawney was as cold as steel. He
looked to the priming of his gun.
"Now," cried the captain, "easy with
that gun, sir, or you'll swamp the boat.
All hands stand bj- to trim her when be
aims."
The squire raised his gun, the rowing
ceased, and we leaned over to the other
side to keep the balance, and all was so
nicely contrived that we did not ship
a drop.
They had the gun, by this time,
slewed round upon the swivel and
Hands, who was at the muzzle with the
rammer, was, in consequence, the most
exposed. However, we had no luck;
for just as Trelawney fired, down he
stooped, the ball whistling over him,
and it was one of the other four who
fell.
The cry he gave was echoed, not only
by his companions on board, but by a
great number of voices from the shore,
and looking in that direction I saw the
other pirates trooping out from
among the trees and tumbling into
their places in the boats.
"Here come the gigs, sir," said I.
"Give way, then," said the captain.
"We mustn't mind if we swamp her
now. If we can't get ashore, all's tip."
"Only one of the gigs is being
manned, sir," I added, "the crew of the
other most likely going round by
shore to cut us off."
"They'll have a hot run, sir," re
turned the captain; "Jack ashore, you
know. It's not them I mind; it's the
round-shot. Carpet bowls! My lady's
maid couldn't miss. Tell us, squire,
when you see the match, and we'll hold
water."
In the meanwhile we had been mak
ing headway at a good pftce fcr a boat
so overloaded, and we had shipped but
little water in the process. We were
now close in; 30 or 40 strokes and we
should beach her; for the ebb hail al
ready disclosed a narrow belt of sand
below the clustering trees. The gig
was no longer to be feared; the little
point had already concealed it from our
eyes. The ebb-tide, which had so
cruelly delayed us, was now xnakiug
reparation, and delaying our assail
ants. The one source of danger was
the gun.
"If I durst," said the captain, "I'd
stop and pick off another man."
IJut it was plain that they meant
nothing should delay their shot. They

had never so much as looked ut their
fallen comrade, though he was not
dead, and I could see him trying to
crawl away.
"Ready!" cried the squire.
"Hold!" cried the captain, quick as
an echo.
And he and Redruth backed with a
great heave that sent her stern bodily
under water. The report fell in at the
same instant of time. This was the
first that Jim heard, the sound of the
squire's shot not having reached him.
When the ball passed, not one of us
precisely knew; but I fancy it must
have been over our heads, and that the
wind of it may have contributed to our
disaster.
At any rate, the boat sunk by the
stern, quite gently, in three feet of wa
ter, leaving the captain and myself,
facing each other, on our feet. The
other three took complete headers, and
came up again, drenched and bubbling.
So far there was no great harm. No
lives were lost, and we could wade
ashore in safety. I!ut there were all
our stores in the bottom, and, to make
things worse, only two guns out of
five remained in a state for service.
Mine 1 had snatched from my kneesand
held over my head, by a sort of instinct.
As for the captain, he had carried his
over his shoulder by a bandoleer, and,
like a wise man, lock uppermost. The
three had gone down with the boat.
To add to our concern we heard voices
already drawing near us in the woods
along shoi*; and we had not only the
danger of being cut off from the stock
ade in our half-crippled state, but the
fear before us, whether if Hunter and
Joyce were attacked by half a dozen
they have the sense and conduct
to stand firm. Hunter was steady,
that we knew; Joyce was a doubtful
case—a pleasant, polite man for a valet,
and to brush one's clothes, but not en
tirely fitted for a man-of-war.
With all this in our minds, we waded
ashore as fast as we could, leaving be
hind the poor jolly-boat, and a good
half of our powder and provisions.
CHAPTER XVIII.
NARRATIVE CONTINUED BY THE
DOCTOR—END OF THE FIRST DAY'S
FIGHTING.
We made our best speed across the
strip of wood that now divided us from
the stockade, and at every step we
took the voices of the buccaneers
rang nearer. Soon we could hear their
footsteps as they ran, and the crack
ing of the branches as they breasted
across a bit of thicket.
1 I began to net we should have a brush

for it in earnest, and looked to my prim
ing.
"Captain," said I, "Trelawney is the
dead shot. Give him your gun; his
own is useless."
They exchanged guns, and Trelaw
ney, silent and cool as he had been since
the beginning of I lie bustle, hung a mo
ment on his heel to see that all was
fit for service. At the same time, ob
serving Gray to be unarmed, 1 handed
him my cutlass. It did oil our hearts
good to see him spit on his har.d, knit
his brows, and make the blade sing
through the air. It was plain from
every line of his body that our new
hand was worth his salt.
Forty paces further we came to the
edge of the wood and saw the stockade
in front of us. We struck the inclos
ure about the middle of the south side,
and, almost at the same time seven mu
tineers—Job Anderson, the boatswain,
at their head, appeared in full cry at
the southwestern corner.
They paused, as if taken aback, and
before tliey could recover not only the
squire and I, but Hunter and Joj'ce
from the block-house had time to fire.
The four shots came in rather a scat
tering volley; but they did the busi
ness; one of the enemy actually fell,
and the rest, without hesitation, turned
and plunged into the trees.
After reloading, we walked down the
outside of the palisade to see the fallen
enemy. lie was stone dead—shot
through the heart.
We began to rejoice over our good
success, when just at that moment a
pistol cracked in the bush, a ball whis
tled close past my ear,and poor Tom Red
ruth stumbled and fell his full length on
the ground. Both the squire and I re
turned the shot; but as we had nothing
to aim at, it is probable we only
wasted powder. Then we reloaded, and
turned our attention to poor Tom.
The captain and Gray were already
examining him, and I saw with half an
eye that all was over.
I believe the readiness of our return
volley had scattered the mutineers once
more, for we were suffered without
further molestation to get the poor old
gamekeeper hoisted over the. stockade
and carried, groaning and bleeding,
into the log house.
Poor old fellow, he had not uttered
one word of surprise, complaint, fear,
or even acquiescence, from the very
beginning of our troubles till now,
when we had laid him down in the log
house to die. He had laid like a Trojan
behind his mattress in the gallery; he
had followed every order silently, dog
gedly and well; he was the oldest of
our party by a score of years; and now,
sullen, old, serviceable servant, it was
he that was to die.
The squire dropped down beside him
on his knees and kissed his hand, cry
ing like a child.
"Be I going, doctor?" he asked.
"Tom, 1113- man," said I, "you're go
ing home."
"I wish I had a lick at them with the
gun first," he replied.
"Tom," said the squire, "say you for
give me, won't you?"
"Would that be respectful like, from
me to you, squire?" was the answer.
"Howsoever, so be it, amen!"
After a little while of silence, he said
be thought somebody might read a
prayer. "It's the custom, sir," he add
ed, apologetically. And not long after,
without another worrl, he passed away.
In the meantime the eoytain, whom
I had observed to be wonderfully
swollen about the chest and pockets,
had turned out a great many various
stores —the British colors, a Bible, a
coil of stoutish rope, pen, ink, the log
book, and pounds of tobacco. He had
found a longish fir tree lying felled and
cleared in the inclosure, and, with the
help of liunter, he had set it up at the
corner of the log house where the
trunks crossed and made an angle.
Then, climbing on the roof, he had
with his own hand bent and run up
the colors.
This seemed mightily to relieve him.
He reentered the log house and set
about counting the stores, as if noth
ing else existed. But he had an eye
on Tom's passage for all that; and as
soon as all was over came forward with
another flag and reverently spread it
on the body.
"Don't you take on, sir," he said,
shaking the squire's hand. "All's well
with him; no fear for a hand that's
been shot down in his duty to captain
and owner. It mayn't be good divinity,
but it's a fact."
Then he pulled me aside.
"Dr. Livesey," he said, "in how many
weeks do you and squire expeot the
consort?"
I told him it was a question, not of
weeks, but of mcaiths; that if we were
not back by the end of August, Blandly
was to send to fii-d us; but neither
sooner nor later. "You can calculate
for yourself," I said.
"Why, yes," returned the captain,
scratching his head, "and making a
large allowance, sir, for all the gifts of
Providence, I should tsay we were pret
ty close hauled."
"llovv do you mean?" I asked.
"It's a pity, sir, we lost the second
load. That's what I mean," replied
the captain. "As for powder and shot,
we'll do. But the rations are short,
very short' —so short, Dr. Livesey, that
we're perhaps as well w itliout that ex
tra mouth."
And he pointed to the dead body un
der the flag.
Just then, with a roar and a whistle,
a round shot passed high above the
roof of the log house and plumped far
beyond us in the wood.
"Oho!" said the captain. "Blaze
away! You've little enough powder
already, my lads."
At the second trial the aim was (bet
ter and the ball descended inside the
stockade, scattering a cloud of sand,
but doing 110 further damage.
"Captain," said the squire, "tihe
house is quite invisible from the ship.
It must be the flag they are aiming at.
Would it. not be wiser to take it in?"
"Strike my colors!" cried the cap
tatn. "No, sir, not I;" and, as soon as
he had said the words, I thi»ik we all
agreed with him. For it was not only
a piece of stout, seamanly good feeling;
it was good policy besides, and show ed
our enemies that we despised their
cannonade.
All through the evening tihey kept
thundering away. Ball after ball flew
ov»r or fell short, or kicked up the sand
in the inelosure; but they had to lire
so high that the shot fell dead and
buried itself in the soft sand. We had
no richocliet to fear; and though one
popped in through the roof of the log
house and out again through the floor,
we soon got used to that sort of horse
play and minded it no more than
cricket.
"There is one thing about all this,"
observed the good captain; "the wood
in front of us is likely clear. The ebb
has made a good while; our stores
should be uncovered. Volunteers togo
and bring in pork."
Gray and Hunter were the first to
eo<me forward. Well armed, tihey stole
out of the stockade, but it proved 0
useless mission. The mutineers were
bolder than we fancied, or they put
more trust in Israel's guitnery. For
four or five of them were busy carry-i
ing off our stores, and wading out with
them to one of the gigs that lay close
by, pulling an oar or so to hold her
steady against the current. Silver was
in the stern-sheets in command; and
ever}' man of them was now provided
with a musket from some secret maga
zine of their own.
The captain sat down to his log, and
here is the beginning of the entry:
"Alexander Smollett, masler: David Live
sey. ship's doctor: Abraham Gray, carpen
ter's mate: John Trelawncy, owner; Jonn
Hunter and Richard Joyce, owner's serv

day, and flew British colors on the lOK

boy—"
And at the same time I was wonder
ing over poor Jim Hawkins' fate.
A hail on the land side.
"Somebody hailing us," said Hunter,
who was on guard.
"Doctor! squire! captain! Hallo,
Hunter, is that you?" came the cries.
And Iran to the door in time to see
Jim Hawkins, safe and sound, come
climbing over the stockade.

Louisville's best-known physicians, "1
should have known what to do. But a
woman is a conundrum in herself and
in a majority of her actions.
"I had been attending in the family
for weeks. I patched the husband up
after his almostfatal misunderstanding
with the trolley car. I saw the young
wife through a serious illness. After
months had expired I sent a most rea
sonable bill with a modest hint that I
was in need of some money. It seems
that I could not have selected a more
inopportune time for this gentle dun.
The husband was lamenting the aggre
gate of family bills and the paucity of
the family purse. There was a contin
uous and unending call upon his slender
resources that had become maddening.
He would pay the doctor, who had been
faithful and considerate, but there he
would draw the line for some time to
come. They must retrench, and as cus
todian of the purse strings he would see
that they did retrench.
"When the wife came to settle she
was visibly depressed. If 1 would only
cut the bill in two she would pay it at
once. One of the most potent pleas in
her behalf was two tears just ready to
start and a just perceptible quivering
of her pretty lips. The other was a
pressing need of ready money on my
part. I'm not a Napoleon of finance, by
any means. So I wrote a receipt in full
and accepted 50 cents on the dollar.
"Then the little woman fairly danced
in her glee. She waved a handful of bills
triumphantly above her head and said,
exultantly: 'Now 1 can pay the install
ment on my bicycle. I was almost wild
for f<rar I was going to lose it.' I gave
her r s good an imitation of laughing as
circumstances would permit, but it was
a mighty good thing that she was not a

Washington, Aug. 27. —Gen. Corbin,
adjutant general of the army, says no
complaint has reached the war depart
ment from any major general, briga
dier general, colonel or men of the
I army, regarding want, destitution or
lack of supplies for the care of the
troops. No demand has been made
for supplies other than the regular
requisitions for troops which come in
the ordinary routine way. (ieii. Cor
bin declines to be interviewed 011 the
subject of the many stories afloat re
garding destitution and mismanage
ment of the war, saying that the facts
will come out indue time.
The whole department is greatly
stirred over the many newspaper ac
counts of what has been going 011, and
it is the subject of discussion every
where about the war department, but
apparently each head of a bureau be
lieves that an investigation of the sub
ject will vindicate him and bis depart
ment. The officers in Washington say
that the accounts of suffering have
been exaggerated, but if there has
been suffering further than war natur
ally would bring, the fault has not
been with the officers in the depart
ment here. Kaeli officer professes to
be willing that there should be an in
vestigation. Some officers say that it
will be necessary and that they will
welcome a complete congressional in
quiry which will bring out all the
facts.
There seems to have been neglect
in carrying out the order of the de
partment which allowed 60 cents a
day to all soldiers in hospitals, the
amount to be a general fund from
which could be drawn money to pur
chase delicacies and necessaries for
sick soldiers. This order is dated Au
gust 10.
According to the records of the sur
geon general's office it was received
there 011 the 13th and sent out to the
various officers on the 15th. It should
have reached these offices 011 the 17th,
especially those along the Atlantic
seaboard. It seems, however, that if
it did reach them it was disregarded
by many surgeons. The surgeon gen
eral's office complains that other or
ders sent out have not received the at
tention which should have been given
them.
Officers at the war department dep
recate the manner in which com
plaints have been made, on the ground
that the whole matter will discredit
the American army and have a bad
effect oil discipline.
The president has received the fol
lowing letter from Gen. Joe Wheeler
at Camp Wikoff:
"I was very glad to hear that you
would visit Montauk Point very soon.
The visit of the secretary of war has
accomplished more than I can express.
He has promptly corrected evils, made
valuable suggestions and given direc
tions regarding administration. In ad
dition his personal visit to 1,500 sick
soldiers in the hospitals has cheered
them up and it is difficult to adequate
ly convey to you the change for the
better since the secretary's arrival.
The announcement that you will visit
the soldiers has already added to this
improvement and your presence here
for even a single day will accomplish
good, the great extent of which you
can only realize after you have made
your \ isit."
New York, Aug. 27. Secretary Alger
yesterday resumed his work of inves
tigation of aif airs at Camp Wikoff.
He gave first attention to granting ISO
days' furloughs to the men of the
Seventy-first New York volunteers and
the Second Massachusetts. Gen. Alger
told the commanders of these regi
ments tf> make out the list of all men
who were able to leave camp so they
can depart for their homes as soon
as possible. The Hough lliders are
also to be granted furloughs; so will
the Michigan volunteers.
At the expiration of their furloughs
the Seventy-first's men will not return
to Camp Wikoff. but to Camp Black to
be formally mustered out. The Sec
ond Massachusetts men Wn. report at
South Farmington for mustering out
after their furloughs.
Gen. Alger has given notice that
sick regulars will also be allowed to
go home on furloughs, so that within
a few days thousands of the men who
are now in camp will be away to make
room for those now (. transports in
the bay waiting to conic ashore and
those expected on transports yet to
come from Santiago, including Gen.
Shatter and hij< staff. Gen. Alger said
he did not know when he should leave,
as he wanted to see things in better
shape before he went away.
Gen. Alger while making his rounds
made a careful inquiry 011 routine
affairs and whether a sufficient sup
ply of ice and milk had been received
at the hospitals. When he found what
he considered neglect anywhere h«
plainly called to aeount those respon

Another transport reached the camp
Friday. It was the I). 11. Miller and
she has the men of the First regular

of them are sick, but there were no
deaths during the voyage, neither are
there any of the sick men down with
