I nA run away to aea on a vessel bound from Liverpool to -Shanghai, and' had left her on arrival. I found that tho captain of tho Silver Crown, ono of tho company's traders, was an old friend of ray father's, nnd so it camo about that took servlco in the company under him, with tho rating of cabin boy. Tho schooner carried a dozen muskets, a lot of boarding pikes and half a dozen cut lasses as an armament, but everything was boxed up and stored away, if nqt forgotten. Capt. VVhartou had been in tho sorvico for six years nnd had never met witfi any trouble. When wo cot away it was with orders for the Philippine islands, among which the company had many resident agents who collected products. Our courso was to tho southeast, to pass between For mosa and tho Loo Chop Islands, and wo had made tho run thus far without inci dent wjien ono day about noon a junk nggea natlvo craft, which doubtless camo from some port in Formosa, inter cepted! us to tho eastward of that island. We were about thirty miles off 6horo when she hailed us. She" claimed to bo short of water, owing to an accident: but this., as wo afterward camo to know, was only an oxcuse. When Bbe learned thntwoworo bound to tho Philippines sho had thrco passengors to transfer. They were threo natives of Formosa, who wero going down Ihcro to found a colony, and would pay liberally for a passage by the schooner. I am puly giving you tho gist of what was urged in excuse. We lay to for a couple of hours, and I heard only a part.of wnat was said. It did not seem to Btrike Capt. t Wharton or Mate Williams as queer or suspicious, and after haggling over terms for a while the thrco natives wero transferred to our decks and tho vessels separated. Then I had time to look tho strangers ovor, and I was not long in concluding that I did not wish for an intimate acquaintance They wero a tough looking trio, and tho cook had scarcely set eyes on theru beforo he declared that wo had mado a great mis tako in taking them aboard. We had no accommodations for them aft, nnd as the schooner was In ballast they bad agreed to occupy the hold. I took an early opportunity of com municating my suspicions to the captain, but ho laughed at mo in a good natured way. I mod the mate,- but ho saw noth ing to arouse distrust. It was singular, however, that every man of tho crow outside of tho two officers was satisfied that tliero was something wrong with the trio. While their excuse was rea sonable enough, tho looks and actions of the men were suspicious, nnd it was plain to oil that they wero sailors. They let us all severely alone except the cap tain and' tho cook, and I called it to mind afterward that while ono interested the former tho other two were occupied with the"jlaUer. I could ."chin-chin" a bit nnditiio -cooir couiu spcau a naio lsn- gliaVuiiU.Bo-wo managed to understand each other pretty well. Threo days after the men camo aboard "Slop-Slip," as we called tho cook, assured me wjth very serious faco that the strangers were evil minded men, who had planned to capturo tho schooner. They had asked him to join them, and ho had refused. 1 posted off to tho captain with this news, and ho greeted it with contempt. wo wero gettlng'well down toward the northernmost Island.of tho croup, when something happened which should have opened tho captain's eyes. The leader of tho three borrowed tho glasses and went up to the crosstrees of tho mainmast and took a long look around. We saw the sailor in his every move, and be had not been down an hour when a native craft came creeping up from tho south, bows on to us. Sho had a free wind, while wo had been beating down all the fore noon. Wo wero nt this time forty or fifty miles to thejnorthward of tho group, with a beautiful afternoon and a smooth sea. Half an hour after tho natlvo craft had been sighted, one of tho natives and the captain retired to the cabin. Five minutes later tho native showed his head abovo tho deck and called to the mato, who had just come on watch. Ho dis appeared down the companionway, and at tho samo tinio I entered tho forecastle to look for something wanted. I was down thcro about fivo minutes. I heard no particular row on dock, but when I reappeared I was struck dumb by the spectacle. Ono of the natives was at the wheel, and was bringing tho schooner into tho wind to He to. Tho decapitated bodies of tho two Americans and the cook wero lying amidships, whilo the two Swedes were at tho foremast cross- trees. Not a fchout bad been raised nor a cry uttered. Tho work had been done with terrible rapidity and in silence. As I reached the deck ono of the nw tives camo forward with n bloody creese in his hand and called mo "good boy" and said I should not be hurt. Ho left mo sitting on the windlass bo scared and weak that I could not stand, and then assisted his companions to lower tho Bails. When this had been accomplished they called to the Swedes to coino down. The poor fellows began crying and lamenting nnd refused to descend. The natives picked up tho bodies from the deck and tossed them overboard, and then descentled to the cabin and brought up the bodies of captain and mato and served them tho same way. Both had been killed by the one native who en ticed them down. About tho time the last body was flung over tho rail tho na tivo craft drew alongside. Sho had thirty men on board, all of whom seemed to know our three passengers and their plans. Thero was great rejoicing over tho capturo of tbe schooner, nnd for quarter of an hour no one paid mo any attention. Then thero was a hot discus sion, a part of the gang seeming anxious for my lifo, but tbe result was that was conducted to the cook's galley and given to understand that I was to do tho cooking. Although our cook was Chinese they did not spare lUm, What saved mo was my youth, or they might have planned to eut my throat after Jud served their turn. When my fate had been settled tho Swedes wero again ordered down. One of thorn descended, begging and plead' (ng, but ho was cut down tho moment his feet touched tho deck. Tho other refused to come down, and half a dozen natives ran up the foremast shrouds with knives in their hands. Beforo they could reach him the sailor mado his way hand over hand along tho triantio stay to the mainmast, n la feat was greated with applause, but others ascended, and there was no longer any hope for him. Tho poor fellow made the best defense possi ble, but they cut and backed him until ho lost Ida hold and fell to the deck. His body was thrown overboard, deck and cnhfru oleotuod of blood stains and about sundown tho schooner, witli twenty-live nien, wun headed for tho Philippines. Tho rest of tho gang, numbering seven or eight, followed with tho native1 crnft. I boiled u largo quantity of moat nnd got the best supper possible, and was glad tofludthnt no one gave mo nny ntten tion. We iiad a brisk wind all night nnd during tho next forenoon, ttnd nt about 2 o'clock wo reached un anchorage on the east sido of tho main island and wfthln a quarter of i mile of the beach. The nntivo craft passed us nnd entered tho mouth of a river. From what 1 could gather sho wnB going to bring out men and cannon to- the schooner. A hunt was mado through tho schooner for gun carriages, und tho discovery of the small nrms seotucd to put the fellows in good humor. Tliero was about $3,C0O in gold aboard in tho cabin, nnd this was count ed out and divided pro rata, or in some other satisfactory manner as wo lay at anchor. Then I was ordered to draw a pailful of wine from a cask in a sort of lazaretto or stow room reached from the galley. The cook might havo known of tho prosenco of tho wino thero, but I did not. I had never looked into tho place. Thero was a tin pail holding about ten quarts in tho galley, and this I filled and carried to the main hatch, with several glasses, and everybody proceoded to help himself. How that wo wero at anchor alHlisoiplino had ceased, aud ono man was as good as another. They wero prowling all over tho schooner and per fectly at home. Tho wino must havo tickled their palates mightily, for a second pailful was soon demanded. It was whilo I was drawing it that I noticed the barrel had no bung in it, and I wondered why the wino had not soured. I retired to the galley as soon as I had filled tho second order, and for half nn hour thcro was a good deal of loud talk and laughter. All of a sudden, whilo I was reflecting on tho situation, and perhaps crying n bit in my sorrow and anxiety, it struck me that things were wonderfully quiet. I looked ont of the galley to seo half a dozen figures lying on the deck, and later on, when I had summoned courage to walk tho length of tho schooner, I found overy man . aboard apparently sound asleep. Their breathing was la bored, but 1 supposed this was tho result of too much drink. Tho night had como dowridark 'and gusty, with tho wind directly off shore, and as tho sleepers continued to lie quiet some strange ideas camo to me. I was tempted to tako one of their knives and begin killing, but I doubted my nerve. Tho yawl was at the davits, and I planned to lower it and let the breeze carry mo out to sea. I held to this idea for n fow minutes, and then surrendered it for another. I would swim ashore and hldo in the forest I had to abandon that scheme as well, for I saw at a glanco that tho tide was running out strong. I was wondering if I should not start a firo in the forecastle or cabin when I discovered that the craft was under way. Sho had her light anchor "Durnna Iinu bcen- tugging heavily under two and gust. Tiio chain bad ground olf against some sharp edged rock or tho pin bad slipped from a shackle. It was prob ably tho latter case, us I heard a splash as of tho end of tho chain falling from tho liawso holo. Sho drove off stern first and then, as she began to swing about, I stepped softly back to tho wheel, put it over to get her off, and then extinguished tho two lanterns on deck and tho lamp in tho cabin. I am not boasting of my nervo in stepping oyer tho sleepers to do this work or of my sagacity in getting tho idea. I was working like ono in a dream and could hardly havo identified myself. What occurred between tho time I put out tho lights and daylight next morning I never can clearly remember. The schooner took caro of herself for any effort of mino, nnd I think 1 went into tho galley and crept behind tho stove. At least I crawled out of that contracted space soon after daylight, in response to a call. I suppose I was called to pre pare breakfast for the pirates, but I was no Booner out of the galley than I saw a largo ship hove to a quarter of a ratio away, whilo ono of hor boats, with llvo men in it, wa3 alongsldo the schooner. I must havo looked and actodlike a stupid, for as a couple of men camo over the rail ono of them gave mo a hearty shak ing and growled out: "You idiot, can't you got your mouth open?" Thero wero twenty-fivo men lying on tho decks and in tho cabin Bound asleep. Not Deadl Every one of them dead and cold, and I tho only living thing aboard, It took soma timo to explain matters and get at all the particulars, but with what I could tell them and what they could see it finally became plain . to all. That barrel of wine had been dosed with some deadly drug. The cook must havo done it previous to tho attack, or tho bung had been left out by another and somo poisonous reptilo had crept in to dlo. No ono could toll for certain, but tho drink ers wero all dead, and all had died In sleep. Tho ship was English, and the schooner was over thirty miles off the land. Ono of her majesty's men-of-war. assisted by a civil functionary, attempt ed an investigation, but nothing camo of It. Our crew had boon slaughtered and the schooner captured, but she had recaptured herself and brought off twcnty-flvo corpses. Not a living man could over bo found among tho islands who would acknowledge that ho had ever seen tho schooner, much less par ticipated in .her capture, New York Sun. The early marriago ceremony among the Anglo-Saxons consisted merely of hand fastening, or taking each other by tho hand, and pledging each other love and affection, in tho presence of friends and relatives, .
