" AN UNSOMMT ADVENTURE
At Sydney, towards the close of a
sultry day in December, I was pacing
the quarter deck of H. M. frigate Her
ald, when the old quartermaster called
my attention to an unusually finomer
chantman that was just rounding Mac
quarrio Point.
She was a very handsome clipper,
and as she slowly came up before the
faint breeze, her sun-bleached sails
shone out in dazzling whiteness against
the dark forests of guns trees that sur
round the lovely harbor of Port Jack
son. Her long hull, though:low and
black, was yet exceedingly graceful,
and for a vessel of her tonnsge, she
seemed to sit lightly ou the water.
Having nothing better to do, I re
solved to board her, and accordingly
ordered the gig to be manned.
As with long, steady strokes we ap
proached the vessel, tbo slovenly way
in which they wore taking in sail, the
general slackness and untidiness of
everything connected with her, be
came painfully apparent. Not that
she was worse than the generality of
merchant vessels, but leaving a frigate
in the magnificent order and seaman
like condition of the Herald, without
so much as a rope yarn out of place,
the contrast was so very great. On
board, all was noise, bustle, and confu•
sion. The captain, who received me
courteously at the gangway, I was sur
prised to 'find, was a young, gentle
manly-looking man.
In command of these Australian
clippers, one generally finds rough,
bearish old Seetchmen, who take pride
in saying that they "came in through
the hawse holes," by which they mean
that they were originally common sail
ors. Any one knowing much about
thorn would never doubt the truth of
this favorite boast of theirs.
However, in this case it was entirely
different. The captain, as I surmised,
was a protege of the owners, and was
accordingly placed in command of this
fine vessel as soon as ho had satisfied
die very moderate requirements of the
Board of Trade.
Ho was a most agreeable man, of
good education, but totally deficient
in any strength of purpose, and firm
ness of will or quickness of decision;
hence I saw that be was by no means
the right man in the right place.
After our first meeting, we were a
good deal together whilst his £hip was
discharging cargo, and taking in her
homeward freight.
As I expected, the greater Timbar
of his crew deserted in Sidney, and he
had to make up the complement from
the loafers and villainous riffraff that
abound in a colonial seaport. The
day before he was to sail for England
he expressed to me his distrust of his
new crew. They were certainly as
rascally a lot of ruffians as one would
be likely to meet with.
Having had considerable experience
of the Merchant service, I knew tolera
bly well what these fellows were. When
once out en the high seas, they would
be all right; but whilst at anchor any
where inside the harbor they become
nearly onmanageblo.
I therethre volunteered to see my
ft lend out of his difficulties, by accom
panying hint to the mouth of the har
bor, a distance of about six miles, and
then return with the pilot. My offer
was gladly accepted.
On the following day, I went on
board just as the half-drunken crow,
with much shouting and singing, were
weighing the anchor. The fussy lit
tle tug-boat lashed alongside was hiss
ing and steaming, and, as soon as the
anchor was at the bows, her powerful
engines began to move the two ves
sels slowly out from the circular quay
into the stream. Then all hands drop
ped their work, and swarming up the
rigging, greeted the bystanders and the
shipping with drunken cheers. And
so they continued to work spasmodi
cally, and repeatedly leaving off to
cheer, feebly and discordantly, any
thing that was passing. It is only too
evident that there would be trouble
with theta yet, if there should not be
wind enough outside the Heads to en
able the ship to get elear away to sea
that evening. The captain was already
as nervous as ho could be, and so I said
nothing of my fears. It was with
much concern for him that I noticed
the veering flaws of wind growing
every moment fainter and fainter.
As we slowly wound in and out
amongst the lovely bays of this superb
harbor, at every turn apparently land
locked in a -different lake, each of a
beauty surpassing the last, the wind
gradually died away. The golden rays
of the setting sun steeped one shore in
a glorious fluod of warm light, whilst
the high cliffs and richly wooded slopes
of the other were in dark sombre
shade. By degrees the lengthening
shadows, extending far eat into the
blue waters, stretched over to the op
posite shore, and enveloped all a cold
gray twilight.
By this time the noisy rattling old
tug had taken the - vessel within sight
of the Heads; and it being a dead
calm, she was brought to an anchor
near a reef called the Snow and .pig,
' in such a position that she could stand
out to sea with the first breeze. This
dons, the tug boat was cast off, and
permitted to return to Sydney.
As soon as the cable was secured,
the mate reported that the crew de
n-lauded' grog. The on being already
in a half intoxicated state, their re
quest, which was really a demand.,
was not complied with. This was the
beginning of troubles.
Their immediately followed much
murmuring and many growls a dissat
isfaction, gradually getting louder and
more vehement. presently angry
voices were heard, in fierce altercation
with the matesat the very doors of the

cabin, and then about thirty of the
worst of the crow rushed violently in
to the saloon, at the farther end of
which the captain and I were sitting.
They were an ugly looking mob,
some with blue shirts, some with red,
many with neither, but nearly all
brandishing largo open knives. With
frightful oaths and threats, they de
manded that the keys of the "lazareto,"
in which the spirits are kept, should,
be given up to them. This of course,
was refused, and they were ordered to
leave the saloon. At this they yelled
and shouted defiantly, still demanding
the cask of rum. I attempted to speak
to thorn, but my voice was immedi
ately drowned in a torrent of impreca
tions.
In the adjoining state-room of the
captain's, a revolver was lying on a
table. I stepped quietly back, and re•
turned with it concealed .under my
uniform coat. The captain then, by
my advice, ordered the boatswain to
pipe to , supper. This command was
received by all with derisive laughter,
and yells of defiance. The time for ac
tion had come, so putting the captain
a little aside, I stepped forward, at the
same time taking care to lot the revol
ver be seen. The'sight of the deadly
weapon produced an almost instanta
neous silence amongst this cowardly
croW.
Then, speaking slowly and firmly, I
said, "Boatswain, you have been or
dered by your captain to pipe to sup
per ; do so."
Be answered, with a string of oaths,
that ho would not, and concluded by
telling me to mind my own business.
Taking no notice of his braggadocio. I
again spoke to him, in a tone that im
plied that I should be as good as my
word.
"Boatswain," I said, "I have givon
you an order; if you fail any longer to
obey it, I will put it out of your pow
er to obey or to disobey another order
in this world ; for as sure as you stand
there, I will send ono of these balls,
through your head. Now then, what
do yon say ?"
With these words I slowly cocked
the revolver, and took a deliberate aim
at his head.
At the first sound of that disa!,reea
ble click of tho pistol lock he cried out,
"For goodness' sake don't fire, sir, I'll
do it; adding in a low growl to the
others, "It don't matter, chaps, I know
you won't go none the more for 't."
The boatswain's shrill whistle then
rang sharply and clearly through the
saloon, but no ono heeded it except to
greet it with yells and roars of deri
sive laughter.
As soon as I could make myself
heard abovo the tumult, I said sternly
and resolutely—
" Men, j'ou have disobeyed your cap
tain, but you shall do as I tell you."
(liere there were shouts of, "Who are
you ? Go back and bully your own
men," and the like.) 'Now, I order
you all to clear out of this cabin."
Rare again I was interrupted by cries
of, "Won't," and much stronger ex
pressions to the same effect.
"Very good," I continued; "you
won't. Well, then I'll - give you three
minutes to alter your minds; at the
end of that time I'll blow out the brains
of the nearest man, and then the next,
and so on."
At this there was a great buzz and
talking amongst.tho men, yet they
showed no signs of moving, but watch
ed me standing with tho pistol in one
hand and my watch in the other. -
"One minute has gone; you have
only two minutes loft, and you will
have but ono more warning." This I
said keeping my oyes on the dial of
the watch.
The crowd received this with a sul
ky groan, but yet they seemed as if
they would stand to their ground. It
was strange to see these wild, almost
frantic mon cowed into a state of dog
ged silenco by one determined man
with a revolver.
"Two minutes have gone; I warn
you no more. Tho minute this hand
passes the third minute I fire, and the
nearest man will be my mark."
For a few moments more they stood
grumbling and growling; but on hear
ing the click of the cocking of the re
volver they began to waver. Thee,
comparing the respective distances of
the foremost men from me, and fixing
my eye steadily on one burly fellow, I
said in a low tone, as if speaking to
myself, yet lond'onough to be heard
by all, "I think he's the nearest, yes,
yes, by some inches." At this he cow
ered down, and began to draw back to
give oue of his comrades the prefer
ence. Ile in his turn gave way to an
other, and so on, until it was evident
that no one was desirous of being the
foremost, apd po they moved off, sulk
ily out of the cabin. They seemed
sadly apprehensivO that the last min
uto would bo shorter than either of the
two preceding , ones, and it was really
ludicrous to see how the last half doz
en men turned over one another in
their hot bast to get out of the saloon.
"Alone again-with me, captain," he
exclaimed, seizing me warmly by both
hands "Thanks, my dear friend—a
thousand thanks. But what an awful
risk you have run. Pid you know that
there was not a chamber loaded in that
revolver. nor a single cap on'?"
"My dear sir," I replied, "I know
that perfectly well, but the men didn't
and I trusted rightly that they would
not find it out.'
Having somewhat imprudently re
placed the pistol in the captain's cabin,
we wont ori deck to calm our minds
with some good cigars.
The captain going below shortly af
terwurds, came quickly on deck again,
and vfith consternatidn plainly visible
On every feature, whispered to me—
" The revolver has gone—they have
stolen it.. We shall have more trouble
to-night. What are we to do now ;"
"You are right," I reviled "we have
TERMS, $2,00 a year in advance.
not done with these rascals yet;
and it seems that taey have the power
in their own hands now, but that
mustn't be. Quick ! get me pens, ink
and paper."
These wore soon brought, and I
wrote the following letter:
Ship--, off the Snow and Pigs Reef.
Send the pinnace immediately, with
a dozen marines, with their arms and
half cartridge. Let the boat's crow
have
. ther side arms, revolvers, and
ammunition; send mine as well. There
is mutiny ou board—expect an out
break every moment. We must take
them by surprise,therefore see the oars
well muffled. Tha boat is to approabh
the ship's stern, keeping her three
masts in one, so as to be as much out
of sight as possible. The officer of the
boat is to enforce strict silence on near
ing the vessel. Lose no time in carry
ing out these instructions.
Having signed this, and addressed
it to "The Commanding Officer H. M.
S. Herald," the next consideration was
as the means of sending it; there was
the difficulty.
Our only chance was a passing boat.
We watched anxiously for some time,
and at length wo heard a very merry
pleasure party, singing as they pulled
back after a day's sea-fishing.
To my shout of "Boat, ahoy I" noth
ing but the echoing rocks and bills
answered. Just as we were losing
hope, and the boat was passing away,
I gave a louder hail, and I knew that
I was heard, for they stopped singing
and the monotonous splash of their
oars ceased. Then there came a lazy
"Hul-10-ah ! across the water.
• "Give men passage on shore," I
sung out at the top of my voice.
They seemed for some time to de
bate whether or not, but presently a
hail of "All right" was returned, and
they pulled the direction of the ship.
As they came alongside I stepped
over the gang-way into the boat, and
was glad to find that the boatman was
well known to mo as a man whom
could trust. I slipped the letter into
his hands, and told him in a whisper to
take it with all haste, as there was a
mutiny on board, and that was all I
wanted.
By this time the crew were looking
over' the bulwarks watching us, as
they could iu tho uncertain starlight.
The old boatman saw at once the
position of affairs, and with consum
mate address said in a bullying tone,
"Oh, it's you ; is it ? I know you ; I
don't have no navy gentlemen in my
boat, though; so I kuoss you can go
back aboard just so quick as yo like I
I won't give 'co a passage ashore, so I
tell 'ee Mr. Quarterdeck Jack !"
This was received by the men with
roars of laughter, and I pretended to
remonstrate with the clever old salt,
who only continued, "There, don't 1
tell 'ea it's no use a-argyfying for I
won't take 'cc ashore. Mutiny aboard,
says you ? Why you men o' war folks
calls everything mutiny, you does;
and if there is mutiny aboard, why
you'd better stop and see it out. Como
now, just git out o' my boat, for I
won't take 'cc ashore—my colonial
oath I won't."
Again the crew of the merchantman
shouted with delight, and greeted me
with derisive laughter as,witb great ap
parent reluctance, I returned, to all ap
pearance baffied. Thinking that those
laugh best who laugh the longest, I
rejoined my friend on the poop.
The ruse had succeeded admirably ;
none of the men, for a moment, divin
ed my real object in calling the boat
alongside, nor suspected that I had so
well achieved my purpose.
So far the best had been done, but
no assistance could reach mo under
two hours at the least. It was an anx
ious time. The men were gathered
together about the forecastle talking
with a savage earnestness; they show
ed no disposition to turn in peacefully,
but on the other hand seemed to be
only consulting as to their next course
of action. Thus a long tedious hour
-passed.
To keep them quiet for another
hour, the captain, by my advice, threw
them a sop in the shape of some bot
tles of rum, which they received with
ironical cheers. This was a desper
ate expedient, for although it had the
effect of making them for the time
more contented, there was no doubt
but that in the end the spirit would
only make them more pot-valiant and
-mutinous. However, wo trusted that
before then the pinnace would have
come to our assistance.

Anxiously N7Q sat et the stern-port,
intently listening for the Opund of the ,
muffied oars. It was quite dark, noth
ing could be seen nor hoard but the
drunken brawling of the crow, on tho
deck. By degrees they became noiser

cat-o'-nine tails; whilst many advised
making a target of him for little prac
tice
with that revolver which had pre•
viously so cowed them all. Again,
many thought ho would look well
dumping on nothing whilst hanging
from the foroyard-arm---that is to say,
if one could judge from the roars of
laughter that this suggestion provoked

And they arrived pone too soon, for
the captain and I had hardly seated
ourselves at our old places in the sa
loon, when the same unruly mob burst
in as Won.
In answer to the captain, they said
they meant to do him no harm, and
all they wanted was the man-o' war
officer, and without him they would
not:leave the saloon.
To this the captain replied with un
wonted firmness—
"This 'gentleman is a guest of mine,
and I must first known what you want
with him."
The boatswain then, as spokesman
for the rest, said, "'Wall, we don't
'zactly know yet what we do want
with him, but you can take your jelly

lively with him when wo do got him.

"Hang the beggar;" "Stick him up
and shoot him ;" "Feed the sharks with
him," and numerous other playful sug7_
gostions of a like nature. •
"In that case,'t said the captain,
"not a man of you shall lay a finger
on him, so you'd better clear out of
this at once."
"Avast ;there a bit," replied the.
boatswain, "not so fast, my - hero, not

At these words be produced the very
same revolver, and, with a malicious
grin, ho took a deliberate aim at the,
captain's head, at the same time oayt
ing, "Now, my fino follow, if you don't
change your mind in three minutes
I'll blow your brains out first,' and
his'n arterwards. Thom's the right
words, aren't they, mates ? I thought
I'd larned the lesson pretty well,

guess three minutes near enough. But
I'll tell ye what I have got, and that is

This speech of the boatswain's was
evidently considered extremely faces
tious, for the men roared again and
again with drunken laughter, and they
chuckled with a - fiendish glee over the
game that they thought they sow had
entirely in their own hands.
"So then," said I, "you rascals won't
leave the saloon when:your captain or
ders you to. I'see that I shall again
have to make you." This produced
cries of "You make us," and howls of
derision. "Stop a moment," I 'contin
ued ; "you want me do you?
then, here I am, and as much more of
the same sort as you like." -
At these words .I opened the doors
of the state cabins, and giving the or,
dera, "Ready, present," a dozen rifles
wore levelled at the head of the brag,

fled rage and amazement, be dropped
the pistol from his graip and begged
for mercy. The rest ran like a flock
of frightened sheep.
The ringleaders and those who had
been'the most troublesome were' soon
