up to the rescue, instently let off a piece
of pop-gun artillery, ran up the union-jack„
and set :up a tiny shout in . derision of the'
pursuer, which the. direction of the wind
just enabled us to .hear and echo with sun;
dry very hearty maledictions on their stu-•
pid throats. Le Requin quickly. hauled.
her Wind, and at once recognizing the char
acter of her new customers got, with all
' possible speed, upon the same track as
, ourselves, and being a remarkably fine
weatherly vessel, went off full half a point
closer to the wind than the Curlew, thus
showing from tho first moment the well
nigh hopeless aspect of the chase. •
Night fell—Black as the inside of a tar
barrel—With a gale of wind that by mid
night had-increased to a tempest, accom
panied by flashes of lightning and peals of
thunder which those acquainted only with
the electrical phenomena of the temperate
regions can form but a faint conception of.
IFrequently, during the night, a more than
('usually brilliant corruscation showed us
Le Requin upon the white crest Of a huge
1 wave, tar away' to.windward; but when
1 the cold gray morning dawned, the settee
ner 'had • utterly disappeared, leavine . ' 'us
misersbly cold, wet, disappointed anti
age. One thing at all.events, our night'S
chase had taught us—that the Curlew was
ntrunatch for Le Requin in 'uoint of speed,
and that if we ever should succeed in put
ting salt upon his tail, it must be by some
.cleverer expedient than - that of running
him at the rate'of five feet to his six.
Captain Armstrong looked considerably
, bluer than the bluest of us, and did not re
-
1 appear on the , deck till five or six hours af
ter the ascertained disappearance 'of the
schooner. He then ordered the Curlew's

her ; and the ferocious schooner would, it
was quite certain, be up with us in less
than no time. i The commander's face was
deathly pale from ,over-excitement, I sup
posed ; and as for the,crew,'ihey were in
an ecstasy of uncontrollable' mirth. The
notion of a sloopof-war running away
from, and being chased by, a slaver or pi
rate, was a joke so exquisite as to defy all .
ordinary modes of expression; and the as
tounding capers the men Cut—the grimly
comical squints and winks, and quietgrins
(silence being strictly enforced) they ex
citianged with each other and the advanc
ing schooner, was irresistibly droll. Once
it was feared that a misgiving as to whom
it was he was -so eagerly pursuing, had
seized our. friend, for which not more than
half a league astern, ho suddenly luffed,
and stood across our wake, apparently in
keen scrutinizing observation. His hesi
tation was but momentary—the fierce' as
poet of the "Quakers," I think, re-assured
him—and the chase was resumed. In
' about half an hour he ranged fiercely up
our weather-beam,and as the red flash and
white smoke which heralded a shot. across
Curlew's:bows broke out Oldie schooner's
side, n hoarse powerful voice roared thro'
a trumpet from :he after part of the deck—
" Heave to or I'll sink you 1"
The commander of the Curlew leaped
upon a gun-carriage, lifted his round gla
zed hat, find rejoined, in as loud and fierce,
but mocking tone—" That will we, Captain
Le Rquin, and in a hurry too:" At the
same instant the seamen concealed about
the deck sprang, to their feet, the rest of
the crew tumbled with loud shouts up the
hatchways, the "Quakers" were shoved
overboard,. and before the astounded cap-
tors well apprehended what had happened,
they were confronted, by the frowning doe
ble-shotied battery of the Curlew,and flight
or resistance was out of the question. As
soon, however, as the wild, confused yell
of rage and terror arose -from the motly
crowd that•crowded the slave pirate's deck I
had sufficiently subsided to permit of her 1
captain's. voice being heard,' a desperate,
but of course futile efliirt to escape, was 1
made. We were in no trim or humor for
another chase, and at a wave from Captain
Armstong,'s hand, gun after gun, belched
forth its' , iron shower upon the ill-starred
scheoner,•and with' such a terrible havoc
to her spars and rigging, that in n few min'. 1
utes she was tt.helpless log upon the ivater.l
The pirate carried no colors, but in this
strait some of the crew ran up a Brazilian
flag, and instantly hauled it down again in
token of surrender. The fire at once cca- .
sed, and the schooner'was hailed to send
her captain on board the Curlew, imme
diately. In a minute or so, it was replied
thqrthe captain had been carried below, I

Armstrong at the moment; and noticed
that a hot, swarthy flush passed over his
pale, exciting features. After a moment's'
thought, he said,.hastily, "Sutcliffe, have a
boat alongside, manned end . armed as
quickly as you can. I mush see this fel- 1
low myself, and without delay, it seems.
So saying he left the deck. 'By the time
the boat was reedy he re-appeared in full
uniform, and, was swiftly rowed on board
the prize. .
. After briefly direCtingthemen to 'disarm,
and secure the crow, he hurried, below,
motioning as . he did so, that I should ac
coMpany him.' The captain of Le Requin ,
—a tall, gaunt,b.ut not, I shouid think, origi
nally ill-looking man—was unquestionably
dying. His right leg had been carried away,
