1 ho leatlers wero tlcpperndoea who

weeks; and cro they had been on
board an hour wero at work, urging
with every plea of cupidity or revenge,
the rising en matsf, murdering every
man who opposed, seizing the ship,
and crusing as they chooso. The ox
net object of tho seizure was not clear,
hut tho plan was simply this : The
temporary berths wero to bo torn
down to furnish clubs and materials
for building a fire tinder the fore-
mast hatch. A largo number was to
be ready, when the (lame should rise
and tho crow rush forward to extin
guish it, to rush up the main hatch
way, massacre every man as he came
in their way and thus gain possession.
They had chosen their captain, navi
gator nnd other officers, and it was
concerning this choice that alterca
tion hnd arisen. Tho opinions about
tho truth of this statement were vari

absurd, but the two interpreters join

Fot" two days tho matter rested,
nothing further being heard concern
ing the mutiny. The bbip wa bowl

brcczo toward midnight of tho third
day, the moon was shining beautiful
ly, nnd all quiet save the rippling of
tho water under our bow nnd the reg

We were expecting to make tho land
at Angier Point about daylight.
Suddenly a bright gleam of flamo
shot up from the forecastle and a yell
liko that of ten thousand demons hurst
on tho still night. It needed no
further alarm to arouso every body
from bleep. Every man was up and
at his post as the fearful conviction of
his imminent danger presented itself.

mram of egress, wns instantly lock

mind, had run to the arm chests;
tho ship ut about, nnd tho pumps

describe it.
Knowing that a crowd was collect
ed nnder and on the ladder, the top of
tho main housing was broken in or
der lo dislodge them ; but meanwhile,
several of the foremost rioter were
striving to fbrro tho door with clea
vers stolen from the cooks, and had
partially sineccdcd in prying it open

arm to be thrust through nnd a blow
struck, wounding nn officer. Quick
as thought ihe muzzle of a pistol was
against his breast, and with its ex
plosion the Coolio reeled backward,
carrying with him all on tho ladder,
and allowing tho door to be effectual
ly closed.
THE SCENE IN ALL ITS HORRORS.
Then commenced a scene tho most
terrific and appealing
The foiled
wretches, maddened by defeat ut the ;

from one hatch to another, swinging
lighted firo brands or striving to
wrench away the iron bars that cov

ing a siiiull man, tried to squeeze him

Iho summit of tho arched grating.
Too late ho saw his error, for, stimu
lated by tho four of being shot before
he could succeed, ho had forced him

over tho hold. Unable from tho depth
of tho combing lo swing himself clear
so as to fall between decks, and seeing
only tho black hold, with a fall of
thirty feet anil certain dontli below,
he was struggling to get back when a
riflo shot from the barricado prirted
hih bruin and ho tumbled into the
abyss.
A MtiHT OF TERROn W R1TISO IN BLOOD.
Amidst such horrors we passed the
night, the flaiiuw being at time com
pletely extinguished, as the Coolies
had abandoned the use of oil on ac
count of the smoke, and burned only
what they called "josh paper" to give
great blaze und not really do much
damage, for of conrso they had no in
tention of burniifg Iho e-hip Their
only hope, utter finding their plun
foiled, seemed lo be to terrify us by
the chip's burning into ultiiitloning
her in boat and leaving her in their
bands ; and had those above deck been
willing lo assist them, or the captain
been a less bravo mun. tho daylight
would never have come to any of us.
Cut come it did and wilh il a demand
wns made lo the rioters to surrender
tho ringleaders of ihe mutiny. In
stead of complying, ono of them dip
pod a stylus in the blood upon the
decks and wrote up ili a slip of paper
to ihe following ctlect:
Three hundred Coolio. to be allowed oa deck at
one tiuie. 1 hey .hail navig-BUr the auip and take
her lo riiara. where a certain nninlier .hall leav e
her. after which the rhall be allowed to procood oa
her eoarts. io airnala of any kind ehatl be
made, lo attract the attention of other reel..
In addition to these demands was
the threat that unless instnntly com
plied with, the ship should be burned.
The yards were bucked, Iho busts
made ready to rescue the luilies and
crew, every Chinaman above deck
was bound so thai he could give no
assislanco lo tho mulineem, and when
all was ready Iho captain returned
answer to burn and be ; but
every man ol ihein should be smoth
ered and burn in her. The result of
this decisive stand was another con
sultation below, and auolher message
wrillen in blood to tho effect that no
mure fires should be built ui.lil night
at any rule.
A temporary quiet was then re.'tor-
cd, the yards again squared, and the
ship put on her original course Arms
were re-examined, oxlra guards stu
tioned, nnd the snidest surveillance
maintained. The ladies bravely de
voted themselves to providing food,
making cutridgc, and indeed doing
everything in their power to render
assistance.
THE DILEMMA.
Two serious dlflicultlos were now pre
sented, the chief of which was the
want of fresh wnter, all ihe water
cask being stowed axay upon or be-
low Ihe lower deck. -The second
thai as the pumps on which the sup
ply of salt water for extinguishing the
lire depended, passed dirccllv lip
among the Coolies, UicV bad succeed-
ed iu disabline- them. The latter.
however, was not of so much moment ,
since, alicr the captain's reply to their
TORTl RINO THIRST.
The demand fur fresh water berarro
every moment moro urgent. One ol
