STOKY OF A MUTINY.
How It Was Put Down by the
Captain"3 Fair Daughtor.
Fortwojcars I had ben mate of
the r-cho-onn-r Jes-nit;, Captain M.irtin.
1'lyinir regularly betwe n Sydney. New
South Walt's, and Hobart-town, Van
Lheman's Lml We bad a trim rraft.
eu-:!y. hund'.e.i, and our crc-w never
f xi'fodcil six nit-ii. - There wa.i no
-eei. ml mate, nml the captain sto.nl hU
own watelu A j'ear before I cnirapvj
with her sho had been c;ii-tui-ed hj
convicts from tho enul settlement,
and when recovered, after two or three
day shu had been supplied with aq
uenal. - '- ? . e..
Th trip which pavo riso to tho in
cidents I am about to relate, broupht
ii..; taptaiu's daughter on board for
t ho tirst tirre, sho having1 been awny
:o scli.ol for a coup!o of yeai-a. Tho
.(hooni r was nam.-d after her.and if a
vessel t'ould feel proud of any thiny;
then the Jehio would have been
pulled up over tho good looks of tho
jrirl whose namo sho bore. ', Miss
Martin was a typical Knp;lih girl, and
jut ua handsome as the bet of them.
She win then nineteen j'ears old, in
tiie liest of health and spirits, and It
was as pood as medicine for a sick
person to hear her sing and lauph.
As our. voyages were short and safe
we had been ablo to keep tho same
crew for a Ion? time, but on this trip
we we all broken up. . Two of the
old men ha4 len taken ill .while wo
were loading, a third had mysterious
ly absented himstslf. and on the day wo
were to sail the cook walked ashore in
a hut?. There was no trouble, how
ever, in filling' the four vacancies.
Indeed thoy were applied for as soon
aa vacated. The cook was another
colored man with pood recommenda
tion, whil the three sailors were
Cntrlish-snoakine and of Knplish
nativity. - " ---- .
Vhn a cr-. is -cnt Irom 'a ship
pinf '-ir.ee, tho master nunt not find
tault with their personal appearance.
If they nro what they claim to bo that
mn-t sati-fy him, no matter if tho
" hole lot are bow-lepgTKi, cross-eyed,
liald-honded and hump-backed, it is
tho same when the mate cnajres mon
at the wharf. . If they i-atisfy him
that they an- bailors, he dos not find
fault with their looks. Tho thrvtj
sailor men I enrafl for the trip
were hard-lookinp fellows, and I would
not have trusted them not to rob me.
but I took them jitstt tho same. . At
-ca they would have their etati.ins and
their order, and tho discipline' of a
vessel . discourapes all cxLiUitioua of
impudence toward ofiicers. Our crew
"was now composed cf six 'sailors, cap
tnin, mate and cook, and the pirl
Jes brought the number on board up
to ten. , ' --
It is a run of over five hundred mileS
almost duo south from Sydney to Ho
harUtovrn. but until pasinp Caio
Howe we had the coast in view, and
knew where shelter could bo had in
ea-of a storm. Our crew wentcheor
fuily to work, the weather favored us,
uud tor three days every thinp went
a smoothly as you please. I had two
of the old men and one of the new in
my watch, and on the fourth night, as
we just held steernpe-way durlap my
watch, the man at tho wheel, whose
name was Noedham, and who had been
with us sevoral voyage, fosstnl around
for a time, and finally said; -:- .-.
Mr. Lorinp. I'd like to speak "with
you about a matter." ,f
"Very well; what is it?"'
I don't like them new menrsir."
" For what reason?''
They've pot their hends topether
too often, sir, and they've talked to
Ui'il and Tom, my old mates, until
they've quite upset them." " '
"About what?"
" Well, sir, about pirates and Islands
and treasure tud such stuff. I didn't
take to 'em. and they didn't tako to
tue. and so they don't trust me, but I
can't help but think there's something
wrorp in tho wind." . -.
I wasn't startled not even worried.
Sailors are always taikinp such non
sense amoup thenicselvea, and aboard
of every craft there is always a tale
bearer who wants to curry favors.
Aoedham was distant and peculiar, as
I Lad heard the men bay, and that tm
hy tho trio had not taken to him. - I
thought tho matter over for some time,
and then thanked the man for his in
formation and asked him to keep his
t'jes oiH.-n.Vohud a II ht breeze nil
I
nipht, and tho nert day was very mild.
We pot astitT bre,-o from noon to mid
night, and on tho morninp of the sixth
day were below the cape. Then tho
wind died out fiat and dead, and all day
lonp wo hadn't sufficient to ruffle a
feather. I had been watchinp the new
men closely 6inco Needham stated his
suspicions, but not a thinp could I dis
cover to confirm his statements. They
were cheerful, prompt and rc3jectful,
and I quite dismissed any thought of
conspiracy. If Net-dham had heard or
seen any thinp further he had not re
ported it, althouph invited to do so.
The captain's trick that nipht was
from ciput to twelve o'clock. At nine
o'clock I was asleep in my berth, the
captain was lounpinp and smokinp,
and Jess was in the cabin after some
article of clothinp. There was no
wind yet. while tho nipht was boft
and starlipht- There was a man at
the wheel, but this was mere form's
sake, he havinp nothinp to do. All of
a sudden. as the captain paced the
quarter, , some one in the fo'castle
shouted Murder!" There was a
scramblo and a rush, followed by a
splash, and a chokinp voice from the
water pasjiod out:
' It's mutiny, captain, look out!"
' It was the voice of Needham. who
had been stabbed and flunp overboard.
Next moment tho captain saw every
other man before the mast advancing
aft armed with capstan bsrs and belay
inp pins. The nepro cook was with
them, and tho old man was not lonp in
reali.inp that somethinp worse than
mutiny was on. Instead of orderinp,
or arpuinp, or waitinp for explana
tion, he leaped down into tho tub in
and bolted the heavy doors behind
him. I had heard the row, and was
now dressed, and so it came to pass
that the captain, Jess and myself were
together aft. and all made piisoners
at once. "It's mutiny, Mr. Itrinp!"'
shouted the captain as I entered the
main cabin. Arm yourself and we'll
teach the rascals tt lesson not to be for
potten!'' -a"-
He had i scarcely . ceased -spt akinp
when a bullet struck him in the ripht
shoulder, and a shot fired at meprazed
my head. One of the mutineers had
fired throuph tho open ky-!i-ht. The
captain a taupe red to the sofa, and in a
jilly I had the liphts out. Then I
pulled tho heavy ;ish down and s.o
cured it, and we were safe fur the mo.
ment It needed no explanation to sat
isfy me of what had happened. Tho
crew had sei.ed the schooner and Need
ham had bn:n murdered because he
would not join the conspiracy. I had
a revolver, and 1 started lor the deck,
but tho captain stop d me. '
.. "Coino back, Mr. Lorinfj. You have
no show! They would kill you before
you pet on deck!" , -j
But wo must pet tho schooner
back! I said. . : 4
Certainly; hut wo 'can't do It by
throwinp our lives away. We are safe
for the present, Help me off with my
coat and attend to this wound. Jess,
you take my revolver and stand in the
companionway to puard the doors." ;
1 pot at the wound as soou and as
carefully as I could, and was rejoiced
to find that the bullet had struck the
bone and plant ed oil. Indeed, it fell
out of the lle.sh as I washed away the
blood. Il was thus a painful but not a
danperous wound. 1 soon had it at
tended to. and tho captain thoupht ho
would not be proveuted from haudlinp
a revolver. I had just pot him fixed
up when some one rapped at the doors,
and a voice exclaimed: -. .
ltelow, there! I want a word with
you!" . ' r - - fc ... t
- "What Ls it?" demanded tho captain.
"The schooner is ours, as you. of
course, know. We don't want your
lives. You can have a boat and start
otT as soon as you please.'
"Hut we don't propose to po!"
"Don't pet cantankerous, old "man.
We've pot the schooner, and we know
enouph to keep it. We don't want you
here. If you accept our offer, all
ripht. If you want to fipht it out, then
look out for yourselves!"
'That's what we propose to do," re
plied the captain, and then all ws
quiet, ,:'... . ...
. I crept to tho head of the companion
stairs and heard the mutineers con
versinp in low tones, and while I
soupht to catch what they said, a man
ran aft to the wheel and the others be
pan to make saiL The calm wan
broken. I knew the course they would
mako without seekir.p a sio-ht of the
cabin compass. They would head to
the west, probably for Kicp Island,
and while between the south coast of
Australia and the north coast of Van
Dieman's Land, a stretch of over two
hundred miles, there would be no fear
of meetinp with any craft larper than
a coaster, owinp to the numerous
shoals and shallows. The breeze came
up lively, and tho schooner went danc
ing away as lively as if ail had been
at peace. . .
"Tucy won't try to pet at us for a
time, and jh rhaps not until morninp."
said the captain, "and we must make
reaJy." ... .... ..,.. ...
We Grst made a barricade at the
door of tho main cabin, tisinpthe sofa,
table und chairs. Then we f,ot out
an.l loaded five muskets, placed three
cutlasses handy, ami, in addition, each
had a revolver.. .We worked in tho
dark, but we kuew where every thinp
was to be found. You ciipht h-tve
looked for tho pirl to break down, but
ie.c. was never a sipn of it. Indeed.
ho expressed a hope that the uicn
would not pivo in too soon, and
seemed to desire an attack. When
wo had done all we could, we sat down
and waited for the nielli to paas away.
. The sch'or.er reeled ofT the miles at
a lively piioo for the next four Lours,
and morninp came without our havinp
been disturbed. Then sail w as ehor
ened, the craft laid to, and, as soou as
tho men had Lad a bito to eat, tho
leader summoned us with:
"Below, there!" "-- y
"Well?" answered the captain.
, "Wo w ill give you another chaaeo
to leave. You can have a boat. our,
sail, water and irrub. and no one shall
hinder your roiiip.' '
"Suppose we refuse to po?"
"Then your blood be upon your own
head! Kather than surrender tho

her! I'll give you half an hour to
thin l" it over. 'Vl-- , - -,
Wedidn't want two minutes. We wVre
determined not only not to leave the
schooner, but to recapture her. Wo
expected to be attacked first by the
ekylipht, but this was a 6mall affair,
and did not command but a portion of
the cabin. And, we afterward as
certained, the only firearm among the
rautinters was a .double-barreled pis
tol, which had already been dis
charped. and could not bo reloaded for
want of ammunition. They would also
batter in the doors of tho companion,
but we hoped to hold them at the bar
ricade. They could not oomo at us by
way of the hold, for that was full.
We pot a bito to eat from the pan
try, had a glass of wine, and by that
time were hailed for our answer. The
captain replied that we would not po,
and defied them to do their worst,
We heard them moving softly about,
and at Lcr own request Jess was al
lowed to pull away a portion of the
barricade and creep up the stairs tc
listen, while the captain and I stood
with our guns ready to repulso any at
tack by the skylight- Jess was return
ing to report when a battering ram
drove in the doors hardly an arm's
length away, and the men who had
wielded the spar raised a yell at sight
of lu r. Not one person iu leu thou
sand, man or woman, would have done
as she did. . Instead of springing over
the barricade, she leveled her revolver
and shot one of the men, the leader of
the mutiny, through the head as he
itood alovt! her. As he throw up his
arms and fell she shouted to us to come
up. rushed up the stairs, and we
heard her lire twice more before we
got over the barricade. -- -
When wo got on deck ho one but
Jess was to bo seen erect. Two d'-.i-l
men and ono wounded unto death
were lying on the deck, and the other
three had tied to the fo'castle. Two
minutes later thi y were begging for
their lives, aud they erawlod like curs
as they came up to be bound. Jess
had killed two of the new men and
mortally wounded the ni ;rro cook, and
the mutiny had been put down and
the craft retaken before you could
count a. hundred. ". Her movements
had been so swift and her aim was fco
fortunate that every thing had to go
before her. - - - --.'"
It would have made your hair
stand up to listen to tho confessions
of those rascals. Tho seizuro of tho
schooner had long been contemplated,
and a part of the plan was to pet hold
of tho pirU Had we accepted the offer
of the boat we would have been
killed as soon as wo reached the deck.
Tho leader was an ex-convict named
Ike Reese,, and he proposed to turn
the craft into a regular pirate,
strengthening his crew from such
small craft as he might overhaul. The
" nepro died within an hour, and we
hove tho three bodies overboard with
out ceremony. During tho forenoon
wc worked tho schooner to tho e;tst
and about noon pot a couplo of Lands
from an English, merchantman and
put into Melbourne to report uud de
liver up our prisoners. Ono was
hanged for the crime, but one died be

ANOTHER BABY."
When ths wild winter winds did blow,
The bitter wnd. of January,
Tliiit swept with sparkling swirls of snow
The wastes of western prairie;
A little child came to my arms
To bring me Joy or sorrow may be.
And so, beset by va-ue alarm.
I sighed: "Another baby I"
Another little waif to tend.
Another little hclpl.-ss stranger.
To lead, to feed, to fold, to fend.
From every wrong and danger,
To make ono anxious, make one sad.
And tearful fur each morrow may bo
With heart h.ilr-sorrowMl, half-glad,
I moaned: "Another baby 1 "
And then I thought bow near, how dear.
The little children God had b':iit u.
How full they made our home of cheer.
And how their presence did content ns-

This year or next, aa might or may be.
Our hearts would achu, would bum, would

Ah, so I thought! and so I said.
In testacy of peace and pleasure.

Of my last, weest, weakest treasure:

An Adventure -with Bushrangers
in Australia.
In tho early days of tho colony of
New South Wales it was never safe to
travel in tho bush unless very well
armed. No one was safo from the
robbers known as bushrangers who
infested tho country, tuid many a mail
coach driver was shot dead, his coach
completely sacked in search of gold,
and the unfortunate passengers roblved
of their money, luggage, and often left
tied to trees until rescued by another
traveler. - -"rs-..
Most of the bushrangers at that
time we:'e escaped convicts who, not
daring to bo soe-n in tho town, were
obliged to live in tho mountain caves;
and when they got to hear of a mail
coach being likely to pass with gold
for tho bank, they laid plans lo rob it
on its journey to the city.
Now these nro almost things of the
pa-it, for there nro branch banks in
every part of tho colonies, and money
is so securely guarded that there is
very little prospect of success for a
bushranger. . Still, now and again we
hear of coaches being robbed, and
farm-houses or "sheep stations" be
ing attacked by these daring men.
Only a few years ago Melbourne was
thrown into a state of fright by the
news of a pang of bushrangers shoot
ing a police-trooper dead, who went
to arrest them for stealing horses.
They escaped, and, embarking in a
career of crime, for some timo were
successful in evading justice by hiding
themselves in caves in the Strath
iHigie llanges; but ono day they were
captured by some mounted po
lice. . They . were . tracked to a
small wooden dwelling where liquor
was sold, . kept by a woman
named Jones; and after barricading tho
doom against the police, tho hut was
set fire to, and they were caught and
afterwards hanged. - . -
I was living in Victoria at the time,
but had been to Sydney for a trip; and
as it was tho day after tho burning of
the hut, and our overland express
passed quite close to the ranges, we
made up a party for tho purpose of
visiting tlio smoldering ruins. When
1 returned to Melbourne the following
day. and had related our experience,
my dear mother seemed highly inter
ested; and as wo sat around a cozy
fire that nipht, and 1 had been ques
tioned all about this gang of bush
rangers, sho said, in her very quiet
manner: - ."" -
"I think I could tell you something
rather interesting in the way of bush
raneing adventures.' " .
. We were all attention at "once, for
mother's talcs of her youthful days
were always liked by us; and as we
gathered our chairs closer around the
bright bla.o that was thrown out from
tho huge log, sho began: ' r"s f
f "All of you children know Low your
prandfather left England and landed in
New South Wales when quite younp.
It must have been about 1M0, as far as
I can re-collect, when he was made a
sort of banker. Tom will perhajw won
der why. Well, at that time thero was
no bank out of Sydney, and as the lit
tle town of Richmond was miles away
it was not only a tedious but a very ex
pensive journey to the city of Sydney
for the farmers. Your grandfather
was very much respected, and as he
was the only magistrate then in the
district his advice was asked upon
various matters. " l. . .
."The event I am poing to tell you
about happened after an Ilaster Sun
day. Ho hal attended divine service
some miles away, and, as is usual in
Australian country churches, thero was
an Easier collection. This Sunday the
collection was ' unusally largo on ac
count of the good season the farmers
had had; und in addition to the collec
tion money thero was about
the result of tho sale of some
church ' proixsrty. The trustees of
tho church knew that ou tho following
Tuesday your grandfather intended
vUiiinp the city, and so bogged that
he would take the sum which alto
gether amounted to about i.'oo and
deposit it in tho bank. This ho de
cided to do, but not without some
slight misgivings;" for bushrangers
were doing wild deeds at that time,
and the daily papers were scarcely
ever without some account of a dread
ful murder or robljory of mail-coaches
couinutlcdby theia. Your grandfather
took the money (all in note--), and
then lgan to consider what ho should
best do w ith it for its safety. - ... v
"After an hour's quiet considera
tion, lie decided what to no, nnd did it.
Then ho mounted Lis beautiful old
black horse, who was slightly lame,
and started off for home. Ho was a
good butihrnan, and knew tho way al
most as well by night as by day, und
he trotted merrily along, v ,
"Ho had a very good path through
the young gum-saplings, und almost let
llonnie lless' fiiido herself.' . Ho Lad
passed a corner, and had merged into
tlio open load, when all at once:
" -Stop!' . - . . j
' "He started back and saw threo men
black-masked, and each with a p'stoi
in both hands. -5.
" 'Where's the coin?'
" 'What coin?' asked my father.
5. "Oh. that'll do, governor. Ile
know all a1out it!' and at once they
hauled him off his saddle.
't " 'Now, boys,' said tho leader of the
pan?, who was a big, powerful man.
"With those words they instantly
proceeded to undress your grand
father. They took Lis boots oil and
examined them carefully; they ripped
open his coat and other garjjieuls; and.
while he stood shivering thero iu the
cold, they examined every article of
clothing he had on.
."Suddenly one of the men called out:
" 'Go for the saddle!' and. to my
father's horror, they began to examine
that, ' Tf
"After a search which proved fruit
less the leader said: 'Well. 1 reckon
it's no good. Ho ain't got the coin!'
"So with a grunt they threw my
grandfather Lis clothes, kotsjiing his
Iwcts only. They said: 'You can keep
your nag, governor, for he's too lame
for ns.' . r T f - 'i''-
. "My father, who had rotainod his
usual coolness ull this time, said to
one of the men: - . - -
" 'Well, I suppose you are the man
who is wanted by the police?'
. " 'Yes, I'm Jucky-Jacky!'
' After dressing himself, and thank
ing the men for not molesting him any
further, my father mounted the lame
horse, and riding oil reached home nt
about four o'clock in thi mornin-j"-courso
your dear grandmother was ir.
an awful fright, and had not gone to
bed at all.
' After your grandfather h-id re
lated his adventure to her, she :iiJ:
Ami what a good thing, Uc ir, that you
did not Lave tho money with you!'
, Ii-.itlA'r'f." V
" 'You Aa If Where vas it ?'
- " My father went outside, and, re
turning in a few minutes, ho dragged
in the saddle, and placing it 011 the
table, began with his pot kut-kr.ife to
very carefully cut the small stitching
underneath.- My notlir-r looked (in in
great wonderment, and exelai'.ted:
'Hut John, denr, you say they searched
the saddle.'. - ; ' "'-'
' " 'So they did, dear, but they forjrot
I that I should be equal to them. I had
I old Drown, the s-'dJler, in my little
room at the ho'-.l, and beforo I left,
these notes wci o carefully stitch l
in with " the padding. You
know, . dear, that as a rule
now notes are merely slipied inside
tho leather covering, but they did not
reckon I should have these really
stitched through.' .
"And thero they were," literally
pierced with tiny holes, but none the
worse for that. Aud so my .' .ther
raved tho little church i.'."00.
.- "The next morning we heard an ac
count of the same gang attacking the
mail-coach and shooting the driver
dead. My father often says that if
they had taken a fancy to "Bonnie
liess,' which they would undoubtedly
have done had sho not been lame,
they might have carried off the saddle
too, and then of course the money was
theirs.
"You may bo suro' the church jk-o-plo
were very thankful, and in
acknowledgment of his forethought
they presented him with an address,
knowing he would accept no present

A TALK ON CANES. .
mrfoient Style anil Different
Way. ot
Carry-in-; the Sticks. 1 .
"The fashion iu canes, as well as in
tho way of carrying these necessary
concomitants of stylish d " said it
dealer in those articles, changes
from yar to year. " When our fathers
were lads the proper caper was to car
ry a whalebone or malacca stick. The.
dandies tf those days apparently never
learned that a cano should bo carried'
in any other way than by its handle.
It remained for the young men of the
pre.-ent day lo invent the a-sthetic
style of swinging a stick thnt is deli
cately balanced between tho thumb and
forefinger, while tho proper accompa
nying gait was tho springing walk
with bent knees and arras akimbo.
Then camo the genuine aesthetic
style wiUi all its limpid limpness, by
which the languid cano was hold in
front of the body, while tho elbows
were well forward and the shoulders
more bent even than in tho swinging
style. The fashion of holding the fer
rule down followed, then of grasping
the stick by the middle w ith tho ferrule
pointing forward, and now tho cane
should be carried by the mid
dle with the handle forward. The
material for canes is even more varied
than tho styles of carrying them.
The biK-khorn handle and plain stick is
about ns popular now as any thing nnd
is the result of the reaction against tho
craze for silver heads. Many canes
are made from imported woods, the
celebrated w hongee sticks coming frcm
China, where they are celebrated for
tho regularity of their joints, which
are tho jiointsr at which the leaves
branch off. Tho orange and lemon aro
highly prized and are imported prin
cipally from the West Indies, although
Florida is supplying many of these at
the present time. The orange stick is
known by its beautiful green bark,
with line longitudinal markings and
the leiaon by the symmelry of its pro
portions .Mid both prominence and reg
ularity of its knots. Myrtle slicks
have a value on account of tho pecul
iarity of their appearance and nro im
ported from Algeria. Tho rajah stick
is another importation and is a species
of p. aim grow n in 11 u neo. Those canes
known as palm canes are distinguished
oy a.i uaguiar or more or less Llat sur
face, at e brownish or spotted in ap
pearance nnd Lave neither knob nor
curl. The :nosi f !. lirated of all palm
canes is the niaiaca, which doubtless
w lii never lose its popularity with men
of middle or advanced age. Tho ma
lacca slick is cut from a species of
calamus, a slender climbing palm, and
doe-s not come from Malacca, as the
name would imply, but from a small
town ou tho opposite coast of Su
matra. Other imported canes are of
ebony, palmetto, rosewood, thorn,
cactus hairwood, partridge wood and
lots of other vai ieties. The manufact
ure of canes is by no means the sim
ple process one might imagine it to be.
In Jersey many families support them
selves by gathering sticks 1:1 for canes,
which they find iu the swamps.'
straightening them with an old vis;.
st: lining thorn over a common iron
kettle, and after roughly scraping
them, sending them in bundles to tho
city in.tnufact urors. Many impelled
sticks come in their native twisted or
crook'-d stale and have lo le straight
ened by mechanical means in the fac
tories. The process is to bury them
in hot sand until tlcy become pliable.
In front of tho sand aro boards about
six feet long lixed at nn angle inclined
to the workman and having notches in
their edges. When a stick is pliable
the workman puts it in a notch and
bends it in an opposite direction to
that in which it. is naturally crook'-d.
It is then left awhile lo set. To form
an jti'tilic'il crook or curl for the
handle the workman places one otid
in a vise and then bends it, at the
samo time pouring on tbe yielding
wood a constant stream of tire from a
gas jet. Sometimes the wood is
charred, but this is rublvd smooth by
sandpiper. Thero aro lots of other
