MY SEA ADVENTURE.
CHAPTER XXIT.
HOW I BEGAN MY SEA ADVENTURE.
There was no return of the mutineers
—not so much as anolher shot out of
the woods. They had "gc»t their rations
for that day," as the captain put it, and
we had the place to ourselves and a
quiet time to overhaul the wounded and
g-et dinner. Squire and I cooked out
bide in spite of the danger, and even
outside we could hardly tell what we
were at, for the horror of the loud
groans that reached us from the doc
tor's patients.
Out of the eigTitmen who had fallen
In the action only three still breathed —
that one of the pirates who had l been
nhot at the loop-hole; Hunter, and
Ca.pt. Smollett; and of these the first
i wo were as good as dead; the mutineer,
indeed, died under the doctor's knife,
«.nd Hunter, do what we could, never re
covered consciousness in this world. He
fingered all day, breathing loudly like
the old buccaneer at home in his ap
oplectic fit; but the bones of his chest
<had been crushed bj- the blow, and his
•skull fractured in falling, and some
time in the following night, without'
sign or sound, he went to his Maker.
As for the captain, his wounds were
jffrievous, indeed, but not dang-erous
No orpan was fatally injured. Ander-
IKOD'S bail—for it was Job that shot him
first —had broken his shoulder-blade
• and 1 touched the lung, not badly; the
second had only torn and displaced
isorne muscles in the calf. He was sure
to recover, the doctor said, but, in the
meantime and for weeks to come, he
must not walk or move his arm, nor so
much as speak when he could help it.
My own accident cut across the
knuckles was a fleabite. I)r. Livesey
patched it up with plaster, and pulled
»ny ears for me into the bargain.
After dinner the squire and the doc
tor sat by the captain's side awhile in
consultation; and when they had 1 talked
to their heart's content, it being tben a
little past noon, the doctor took up his
hat and pistols, girt on a cutlass, put
the chart in his pocket, and with a
musket over his shoulder, crossed the
,s>alikSade on the north side, and set off
(briskly through the trees.
Gruy and I were sitting together at
the far end of the block-bouse, to be
out of earshot of our officers consult
ing; and G ray took his pipe out of his
trvouth and fairly forgot to put it back
so thunder-struck he was at this
occurrence.
"Why, in the name of Davy Jones,"
said he, "is Dr. Livesey mad?"
"Why, no," says I. "He's about the
last of this crew for that, I take it."
"Well, shipmate," said' Gray, "mad
3je may not be; but if he's not, mark my
words, I am."
"112 take it," replied I, "the doctor has
his idea; and if T arai right, (lie's going
now to see Ben G-unR "
I was right, as appeared later; but in
•the meantinnie, the house beingstifling
hot, and the little putch of sand inside
the palisade ablaze with midday sun,
t began to get another thought into my
read, which was not by any means so
right. What I began fo do was to envy
the d'octor, walking in th.e cool shadow
of the woods, with the birds about him,
and> the pleasant swiell of the pines,
while I sat grilling, with my clothes
Ktack to the hot resin, and so much
blood about me, and so many poor dead
bodies lying all around, that I took a
disgust of t.he place that was almost as
strong as fear.
All the time I was washing out the
Ijlock-liouse, and then washing up the
th ings from dinner, this disgust and
etivy kept growing stronger and
stronger, till at last, being near a bread
bag, and no one then observing me, I
itook the first step toward my escapade,
and filled l both pockets of my coat with
biscuits.
I was a fool, if you like, and certainly
I was going to do a foolish, overbold
• ct; but 1 was determined to do it with
all the precautions in my power. These
biscuits, should anything befall me,
would keep me, at least from starving,
till far on in the next day.
The next thing I laid hold of was a
brace of pistols, and, as I already had a
powder-horn and bullets, I felt my
self well supplied with arms.
As fort-he scheme I had in my head, it
w not a bad one in itself. It was to
gfo down the sandy spit that tlivldes the
anchorage on the east from the open sea,
find the white rock I had observed last
evening, and ascertain whether it was
there or not Gunn had hidden
Ihia boat; a thing quite worth doing, as
still believe. But as I was certain I
should not be allowed to leave the in
4-losure, my only plan was to take
French leave, and clip out when RO
bod'y was watching; aud that was so
bad a way of doing it as made the thing
itself wrong. Hut I was only a boy, and
I had made my mind up.
Well, as things at last fell out, I found
an admirable opportunity. Tfie squire
and Gray were busy helping t.lie captain
with his bandages; tbe coast was clear;
I made a bolt for it over the stockade
and into the thickest of the trees, and
before my absence w as observed I was
out of cry of companions.
This was my second folly, far worse
than the first, as 1 left but two sound
men to guard the house; but, like the
first, it was a help toward saving all of
us.
I took my way straight for the east
coast of the island, for I was determined
togo down the sea side of the spit to
avoid all chance of observation from
the anchorage. It was already late in
the afternoon, although still warm and
sunny. As I continued to thread the
tall woods I could hear frotn far before
me not only the continuous thunder
of the surf, but a certain tossing of
foliage and grinding of boughs which
showed me the sea breeze had set in
higher than usual. Soon cool draughts
of air began to reach me; and a few
steps further I came forth into the open
borders of the grove and Saw the sea
lying blue and sunny to the horizon
and the surf tumbling and tossing its
foam along the beach.
I have never seen the sea quiet round
Treasure island. The sun might blaze
overhead, the air be without a breath,
the surface smooth and blue, but still
these great rollers would be running
along all the external coast, thunder
ing and thundering by day and night;
and I scarce believe there is one spot in
the island where a man would be out of
earshot of fheir noise.
I walked along beside the surf with
great enjoyment, till, thinking I was
now pot far enough to the south, I
took the cover of some thick bushes
and crept warily up to the ridge of the
spit.
Behind me was the sea, in front the
anchorage. The sea breeze, as though
it had the sooner blown itself out by
its unusual violence, was already at an
end; it had been succeeded by light,
variable airs from the south and south
east. carrying great bank."? of fog; and
the anchorage, under lee of Skeleton
island, lay still and leaden as when
first we entered it. The "Hispanio'.a"
in that unbroken mirror was exactly
portrayed from the truck to the water
line, tbe Jolly Roger hanging from her
peak.
Alongside laj' one of the gigs. Silver
in the stern sheets—him I could always
recognize—while a couple of men were
leaning over the stern bulwarks, one of
them witn a red cap—the very rogue
I hr.d seen some hours before stride
legs upon the palisade. Apparently
they were talking and laughing, though
at that distance—upward of a mile —I
could, of course, hear no word of what
was said. All at once there began th«s
most horrid, unearthly screaming,
which at first startled me badly, though
I had soon remembered the voice of
Capt. Flint, and even thought I could
make out the bird by her bright plum
age as she sat perched upon her mas
ter's wrist.
Soon after the jolly-boat shoved off
and pulled for shore, and the man with
the red cap and his comrade went below
by the cabin companion.
Just about the same time the BUD
had gone down behind the Spy-glass,
and as the fog was collecting rapidly
it began to grow dark in earnest. I
saw I must lose no time if I were to find
the boat that evening.
The white rock, visible enough above
the brush, was still some eighth of a
mile farther down the spit, and it took
me a goodish while to get up with it,
crawling often on all fours among the
scrub. Night had almost come when
I laid my hand on its rough sides.
Right below it there was an exceeding
ly small hollow of green turf, hidden
by banks and a thick underwood about
knee-deep, that grew there very plen
tifully; and in the center of the dell,
sure enough, a little tent of goatskins
like what the gypsies carry about with
them in England.
I dropped into the hollow, lifted the
side of the tent, and there was Ben
Gunn's boat —homemade if ever any
thing was homemade; a rude, lop-sided
framework of tough wood, and
stretched upon that a covering of goa-t
--skin, with the hair inside. The thing
was extremely small, even for me, and
I can hardly imagine that it could have
floated with a full-sized man. There
was one thwart set as low as possible, a
kind of stretcher in the bows, and a
double paddle tor propulsion.
I had not then seen a coracle, such
as the ancient Britons made, but! I
have seen once since, and I can give you
no fairer idea of Ben Gunn's boat than
saying it was like the first and the
worst coracle ever made by man. But
the great advantage if the coracle it cer
tainly possessed, for it was exceedingly
light and portable.
Well, now that I had found the boat,
you would have thought I had had
enough of truantry for once: but in the
meantime I had taken another notion,
and become so obstinately fond of it
that I would have carried it out, I be
lieve, in the teeth of Capt. Smollett him
self. This was to slip out under cover
of the night, cut the "Hispaniola"
adrift, and let her go ashore where she
fancied. I had quite made up my mind
that the mutineers, after their repulse
of the morning, had nothing nearer
their hearts than to up anchor and away
to sea; this, I thought, it would be u
fine thing to prevent, and now that I
had seen how they left their watchmen
unprovided with a boat, 1 thought it
might be done with little risk.
Down I sat to wait for darkness, and
made a hearty meal of biscuit. It was
a night out of ten thousand for my pur
pose. The fog had now buried all
heaven. As the last rays of daylight
dwindled and disappeared, absolute
blackness settled down on Treasure
island. And when, at last, I shouldered

the coracle, and groped my way stum
blingly out of the hollow where I had
supped, there were but two points visi
ble on the whole anchorage.
One was the great fire on shore, by
which the defeated pirates lay carous
ing in the swamp. The other, u mere
blur of light upon the darkness, in
dicated the position of the anchored
ship. She had swung round to the ebb
—her bow was now toward me—the
only lights on Iward were in the cabin;
and what I saw was merely a reflection
on the fog of the strong rays that flowed
from the stern window.
The ebb had already run some time,
and I had to wade through the long belt
of swampy sand, where I sunk several
times above the ankle, before I came to
the edge of the retreating water, anil,
wading a little way in, with some
strength and dexterity set my coracle,
keel downward, on the surface.
CHAPTER XXIII.
THE EBB-TIDE RUNS.
The coracle—as I had ample reason to
know before I was done with her—was
a very safe boat for a person of my
height and weight, both buoyant and
clever in a seaway; but she was the
most cross-grained, lop-sided craft to
manage. Do as you pleased, she always
made more leeway than anything else,
and turning round and round was the
maneuver she was best at. Even lien
Gunn himself has admitted that she was
"queer to handle till you knew her
way."
Certainly I did not know her way.
She turned in every direction but one,
the I was bound togo; the most
part of the time we were broadside on,
and I am very sure I never should have
made the ship at all but for the tide.
By g'ood fortune, paddle as I pleased,
the tide was still sweeping me down;
and there lay the "Ilispaniola" right in
the fair way, hardly to be missed.
First she loomed before me like a
blot of something yet blacker thau
darkness, then her spars and hull be
gan to take shape, and the next mo
ment, as it seemed (for the further I
went the brisker grew the current of
the ebb), I was alongside her hawser,
and had laid hold.
The hawser was as taut as a bow
string—so strong she pulled upon her
anchor. All round the hull, in the
blackness, the rippling current bub
bled and chattered like a little moun
tain stream. One cut with my sea
gully and the "Hispaniola" would go
humming down the tide.
So far so good; but it next occurred
to my recollection that a taut hawser,
Each with a hand on the other'* throat.
suddenly cut, is a thing as dangerous
as a kicking horse. Ten to one, if 1
were so foolhardy as to cut the "His
paniola" from her anchor, I and the
coracle would be knocked clean out of
the water.
This brought me to a full stop, and
if fortune had not again particularly
favored me, I should have had to aban
don my design. But the light airs
which had begun blowing from the
southeast and south had hauled round
after nightfall into the southwest. Just
while I was meditating, a puff came,
caught the "Hispaniola" and forced her
up into the current; and, to my great
joy, I felt the hawser slacken in my
grasp, and the hand by which I held it
dip for a second under water.
With that I made my mind up, took
out my gully, opened it with my teeth,
and cut one strand after another, till
the vessel swung by two. Then I lay
quiet, waiting to sever these last when
the strain should be once more light
ened by a breath of wind.
All this time I had heard the sound
of loud voices from the cabin; but, to
say truth, my mind had been so en
tirely taken up with other thoughts
that I had scarcely given ear. Now,
however, when I had nothing else to do,
I began to pay more heed.
One 1 recognized for the cockswain's,
Israel Hands, that had been Flint's
gunner in former days. The other was,
of course, my friend of the red night
cap. Both men were plainly the worse
of drink, and they were still drink
ing; for, even while I was listening,
one of them with a drunken crj- opened
the stern window and threw out some
thing, which I divined to be an empty
bottle. But they were not only tipsy;
it was plain that they were furiously
angry. Oaths flow like hailstones, and
every now and then there came forth
such an explosion as I thought was sure
to end in blows. But each time the
quarrel passed off, and the voices grum
bled lower for awhile, until the next
crisis came, and, in turn, passed away
without result.
On shore, 1 could see the glow of the
great campfire burning warmly through
the shore-side trees. Some one was
singing, a dull old droning sailor's song,
with a droop and a quaver at the end of
every verse, and seemingly 110 end to i»
at all but the patience of the singer. 1
had heard it on the voyage more than
once, and remembered these words:
"But one man of the crew alive,
What put to sea with seventy-five."
And I thought it was a rather
too dolefully appropriate for a company
that had met such cruel losses in the
morning. But, indeed, from what I
saw, all these buccaneers weie as cal
lous as the Kea they sailed on.
<Yt last the breeze came; the schooner
sidled and drew necrer in the dark;
I felt the hawser slacken once more,
and with a good, tough effort cut the
last fibers through.
The breeze had but little action on
the coracle, and 1 was almost instantly
swept against the bows of the "Hiti
paniola." At the same time the schoon
er began to turn upon her heel, spin
ning slowly, end for end, across the
current.
I wrought like a fiend, for I expected
every moment to be swamped; and
since I found I could not push the cor
acle directly off, 1 now shoved straight
astern. At length I was clear of my
dangerous neighbor; and just as I gave
the last impulsion, my hands came
across the stern bulwarks. Instantly
I grasped it.
Why I should hare done so I can
hardly say. It was at first mere in
stinct; but once 1 had it in my hands
and found it fast, curiosity began to get
the upper hand, and I determined I
should have one look through the cabin
window.
I pulled in hand over hand on the
cord, and, when I judged myself near
enough, rose at infinite risk to about
half my height, and thus commanded
the roof and a slice of the interior of the
cabin.
By this time the schooner and her
little consort were gliding pretty swift
ly through the water; indeed, we had
already fetcned up level with the camp
fire. The ship was talking, as sailors
say, loudly, treading the innumerable
ripples with an incessant weltering
splash; and until I got my eye above the
window sill 1 could not comprehend
why the watchman had taken no alarm.
One glance, however, was sufficient;
end it was only one glance that 1 durst
take from that unsteady skiff. It
showed me Hands and his companion
locked together in deadly wrestle, each
with a hand upon the other's throat.

Cilory in Mexico.
When the Mexican empire was
planned our civil war had been raging
for nearly two years. From the stand
point of the French rulers, the moment
seemed auspicious for France to in
terfere in American affairs. The es
tablishment of a great Latin empire,
founded under Fre.nch protection and
developed in the interest of France,
which must necessarily derive the prin
cipal benefit of the stupendous wealth
which Mexico held ready to pour into
the lap of French capitalists—of an em
pire which in the west might put a
limit to the supremacy of the United
States, as well as counterbalance the
British supremacy in the east, thus op
posing a formidable check to the en
croachments of the Anglo-Saxon race
in the interest of the Latin nations
such was Napoleon's pltin, and 1 have
been told by one who was close to the
imperial family at that time that, the
emperor himself fondly regarded it as
"the conception of his reign."
Napoleon 111. labored under the dis
advantage of reigning beneath the
shadow of a great personality which,
consciously or unconsciously, he ever
strove to emulate. But however clever
he may be, man who, anxious to appear
or even to be great, forces fate and
creates impossible situations that he
may act a leading part before the world,
is only a schemer. This is the key to the
character of Napoleon 111. and to his
failures. He looked far away and
dreamed of universal achievements,
when at home, at his very door, were
the threatening issues he should have
mastered. The story is told of
him that one evening, at the Tuil
eries, when the imperial party
were playing games, chance brought
to the emperor the question: "What
is j-our favorite occupation?" to which
he answered: "To seek the solution
of unsolvable problems." It is also re
lated that in his younger days a fa
vorite axiom of his was: "Follow the
ideas of your time, they carry j-ou
along; struggle against them, they over
come you; preceed them, they support
you." True enough, but only on condi
tion that you will not mistake the shrill
charms of a few interested courtiers
and speculators for the vioce of your
time, nor imagine that you precede your
generation because you stand alone.

BUFFALO HERDS IN OLD DAYS.
Tliere 1M U Difference Hetween
Seeing AIIIIIIUIM anil
One Lone Hull.
Gazing on the scraggy remnants of
buffalo in an inclosure at Glen island,
a Colorado tourist in the east sai J:
"Tliey are buffaloes, I don't dispute
that, but they are not the kind that
used to make the west look like a mov
ing sea. I reckon you have read a
great deal about extinct buffalo. Ten
years ago I heard that the last buffalo
had been killed —the last one in cap
tivity. J!ut the buffalo, like the Indian,
dies hard. And 1 read about the last
Indian long before I began shedding
my hair.
"There is a herd of buffalo in Col
orado that has been knocking about
i'or 30 years at least, and a man in that
state who has made the buffalo a life
study tells me he knows of two herds.
In 1305 there was> a big herd in the
country known as Middle Park. As
the country was settled by whites the
buffalo feli back. Hunters followed
that herd to Big river, but in the win
ter of J875 the weather was so severe
that the hunters gave up the chase.
That was the great snow winter in
Colorado. The snow was so deep that
buffalo couldn't get around. That's
an actual fact. But it never getsi too
deep for Indians. That winter a band
of Indians went after the buffalo and
killed more than could be brought
away. Next spring a lot of whites
went out and got the tallow from the
dead buffaloes and made money out
of it.
"The white hunters brought back
the news that the Indians had killed
every buffalo in the herd. Hut that
was like other buffalo stories. A few
weeks later a herd was found on the
headwaters of Troublesome river. It
was a part of the herd which was snow
bound. White hunters killed some
of this herd and brought the meat
to market and got into trouble for
it. because there is a law against kill
ing buffalo in Colorado. This law op
erates against a white man, but an
Indian can hunt and kill anything he
likes and the law never touches him.
"The last man I saw who had s;>en
buffalo in Colorado told me that he had
counted ten buffaloes up or. the North
Park slope. That was four years ago.
Think of it! He had seen buffalo, be
cause he had counted'em. Ten of'em!
I wonder what he would 'a' thought
if he had seen 10.000 in a herd. And
I can remember the time when it took
10,000 to make a herd. P>ut never
again will any man see such a herd.
When buffalo herds get scattered they
don't even multiply."—X. Y. Sun.
