"It was many yeata ago, when the
Californian gold diggings were at
tracting everyboVe attention, that I
wentuut as third engineer of a stamp
er from Panama to 13an Pranoisoo. I
liked - the - captain eery' much; and I
bad known him by sight before,'
though he -didn't know me; for a short
t i me PraTkmatie be had several times
come on board a ship to, which-I then
belonged at New York, to see the
captain, who was a Weed of hie.—
Once or twice he had brongbt Off his
wife and little daughter with hum s --
such a sweet,lady-like young woman,
and such a dear little girl recol
lect taking them down once and
showing the engines,— and the lady
appeared so fond of her husband f I
Wondered ho's' he•could leave them l to
come on this station, in that lawless
time of gold seeking. Our chief en
,gineer, too, was a good sort of man,
and one who, knew his work well ;
the second wasn't a badiallo*
though rob foil of his glassi,hut the
rest, of, the Officers and crew were
not pleasant shipmates. The ship
was not a comfortable' one to me in I
any respect,and !soon determined that
my .first voyage in her should be my
last, though we had ilist rate wages
to indium us to stick by the ship.at
San Franchsco, and not run away' to
-the g. old - diggings.
"We arrived out - safely, -without
any adventure ; bat we • bad' tro . wait
a long'time there -before we could
sail on our homeward voyage. Not
withstanding all precautions, a great
many of our crew ran away, and, it
was impossible to replace them : in
deed, the harbor . was full of ships
lying useless there for want of crews
to take them away. But we had slim
another loss, and a great one, in our
chief engineer. He had been ailing
on the voyage out, and he died, poor
fellow. I whilst we were in the harbor.
Our second was not exactly the per
son to take charge, of the engines, be
ing, as .I , have mud, Whet too -tondo(
&ink, and the captain, wikhend,waa
trYing all he could do to get some
one in our chief's place.' Macpherson,
the second, was of course very indig
nant at 'this—but so it was.
" I should think we must have been
quite two' months at San Francisco
before we were ready to sail again,—
for you must understand that we
were not a r,ular , packet on the:
station, but b adbeen specially char
tered for the - voyage oat,—a,nd" we
thought that we were going,after an,
without any new chief engineer. We,
in the engine room, were pleased at
this, for Macpherson Was a good eon
of a fellow enough, except for that
fault' Which hitat,turmtbdkild. I* a
first rate workman -4 but on the very
last day ,before sailing, the captain,
of whom we had seen but little, for
some time past, came on board With
a perm* whom he introduced 'to the
engine room hands as their new
chief.
: "He was not the only new arrival
on board. There were, a few—very
revr-T-Passengein ; and a lady who
heard, to - , my, astonishment, was . 'the
captain's wife, whom , he had married
since we had been at San Francisco.
Now, as I have already, told you, I
had seen his wife and, little daughter
but a short time before, so you may
think how much I was surprised at
seeing this other woman brought , on
board as his wife now. I was very
much surprised at our captain, whom
I had taken (or &different sort of ,a
man.; but it was, all no husiumes of
mine, so I held my tongue about

of a bold, mescullhe style of beauty,
and with such an eye 1 I thought
shouldn't exactly; like be for a wife
myself; though Abe" was really hand
some, and it was , no wonder that any
man be taken up, with her,'
"Right or wrong, I form my Opin
ion of • people pretty quickly. ; and I
didn't like our - new chief. He•was
quiet'' and mild -in his manners' oer
.tainly,—wonderfully so for that time,
in that part of the world,—butthere
`was a wild, dissipated, *faked look,
if you understand mein his eye,which
seemed to me to tell that he could be
very different if be chose. :I - could
not help remarking to Macpherson,
that I thought we had a ram one to
deal with now •, and he replied that
lie -, should like to - know his history,for
he guessed it was I strange one.
" One thing , was 'evident' to' me
from the - firet time be came into the

scaniuMng about engines , watplainl
and -hsgave hie orders with decision,

study than by eiperience. His hand's
were too white and delicate - 'for a

altogether, discipline , became very
lax, and, except for . tho mites, we
were (take a happy filthily at sea. I
could not help fandying, however'
that it was all too "good to last', and
so it turned out.
"We had gut welt down the coast,
and I know we were not far off the
laud, when one night—a fine night it
was,but verydark—it was my watch
below from uiidnight to four in the
morning. When I say, 'my watch
below,' you know, sir, I do not mean
my watch below; lit the engine room,
but my tarn to be off duty. Mao

cabin one of ,the deck houses abaft

bunks, one over the other, one ! his
and the other mine. At eight ,bells

and .went to take charge of the en

for ,those who are, used to it, raher a

the ship is rolling. There is a creak

a shock,ind a iplutter as your wheel

with a continual tremble and shake, '
never ceasing for a moment, which,
altogether, render sleeping in such a I
position an' art only to be acquired
by long practice; and,as I have said,
not always' to be dbpdnded upon even
then. I can sleep as well as most
people ; and an: not at all a particu
lar man in such matters ; but on pie
night in question, although there was
not much sea on, I soon found that
any attempt to get a sleep in my
bunk was hopeless. I could 'not af
ford to throw away my four hours in
thinking about it; so, turning out
again, without much 'delay, I went
below to the engifte room, and crept
into a snug little spot between the
starboard cylinder and the forward
bulkhead of the engine room, which I
had several times before, on our out
ward voyage, used for a similar pur
pose. I must de-Bribe the 'engine
room to you. Itwas very much like
this one : the engines ,were side lev
ers like these ; and the stoke hole
with halm doors, was adjoining the
engine room, without any separation
between. The cylinders were for
ward, about four feet front the bulk
head, and the boilers andatoke hole
were aft. There waaaplatfortajast
like this ; at the level of the tope.of
the cylinders, on each side of the en
gine rocen,:and across the forward
part of it t ekate to the bulkhead; with
ladders at the after ends of the two
side platforms leading down to the
stoke hole; and- another at the mid
dle of the-part that ,went across, by
which you .descended to a narrow
passage between the „engines, whore
the starting handles, &c., were plac
ed.: at the same part of the platform
was the ladder which communicated
with the deck.
" Yon will see from this that there:
was at the forward end of the engine
room, having the cylinders and ends
of the engines on one side of it, the
bulkhead on the other, and the cross
platform for a roof, a apace about
four feet wide, and in: length the
whole width.of the -ship. The port
side of , this space was filled with
tal
low eaeks, eil cans, - etc., for which

Was a uice,ianug little spot, kept tol

deck pump prevented your getting

words. I distinguished arrested my at
tention in a element It was the
youth who said, I„ -
" How long before we shall leave
the ship ?"
" Not long new," replied the chief;
"but we 'have nothing .more to do,
except to start when it is time."
".,Are you - sure the third engineer
is all right r

sure that,we have got rid of thole
feinal ship and all that could ever
gibe us trouble. But, by —1" tie
said, with a &lime towards the gala
gee, " there is n't much timeto spare,
either. The . steam mount s quicker
than Itntright ; it, ie at twenty-five
already, end the .water is all out of

" The youth turned and ascended
- quickly to the: deck ; arid the chief
went to the stoke hole, charmed the
furnace doors, reeked at the fires,
and throw in some coals and tallow.
" I should make a . bad hand at des
cribing my feelings, and all that sort
of thing ; but think you may imag
ine that the unaccountable appea,
mace of a stranger in the ship,--the
intelligence that the watch both on
deck and in the engine- room - were
disposed of, —the knowledge that the
steam was at twenty-five pounds to
the inch, our _usual working . pressure
being fifteen, and rapidly rising, with
the safety valves, of course, fastened
down or very heavily loaded;--the
engines throttled of het their steam
the feed in the boiler !) : very low, and
the furnaces fed with oil and tallow,
it was altogether enough to mike
one feel queer. The bailers were
new and strong ; but, _for, thit very
,reason, when they did give-way, the
destruction wo ad be the greeter ;
and I expected 'soon a terrific explo
sion, which miglst,probablysend the
ship to the bottom. I underatisod at
once—indeed, there' was no room for
doubt after what 1I ' had seep and
heard—that the villains had by some
means got hold of the gold on board;
that they hid either drugged or over
powered the watch, and that it
their intention to blow up the ship,
and escape in the confusion ; or to
get away a little beforehand, and
trust to the explosion, which must
inevitably follow, tp remove Fall proof
of their crime and dfi dread of cap=
tore. I saw what it was ; but I
confess to you. sir, at the risk of. be,.
log thought a coward, that I stood
at first unable to think or act to any
useful purpose. Had I been prompt
and decided, now was my time to'
have acted while the stranger was on
deck ; but I own that I stood rooted
to the spot, with shaky kuees,.with
quivering lips, and with thee - colit
clammy perspiration standing on my
head. I have- often -been in perk
but I never felt so unmanned, before
or since, as I did then,;,.and I verily.,
believe that, had I been left done,
should have allowed the ship, and the
gold, and my 'owe life, and the liven
on board to take their ehantie,
rather than venture out to face those
desperadoes.
" Heti had not the i choice. J The
chief, after at looking tbe re and ' fi re
ex
amining the guages, crossed the stoke
hole to the other passage under the
starboard platform, with the view
probably of getting at soma of the
gr~asc and tallow that was ,stowed .
away close by where I had made my
conch. I saw that I must now, be
discovered ; but With the prospect of
a struggle with one mail my
courage revived, my limbs became
steady, and the coward feeling left
