HARRY WINSOME.
His Adventures at Bea and on Land.
CHAP. 1.-LIFE IN THE GUN BOOM.
'Harry Winsome wasn't a model
midshipman, like those you read of
in novels. There was nothing very
wonderful about him at all, in fact.
On shore, when he happened to go to
a party or ball, he did not try-to
dance all the evening with the tallest
and -fairest for partners; he did not
bully the . blue-jackets, anti call them
duffers when in charge of a boat ;and
on board he never shirked his work
or " fudged " the sums the naval in
structor gave him to work, and he
never went on the sick list with the
tooth-ache, and he didn't spend one
half of his time at the.; mast-head: be
cause .he choSe to spend the other
halfin playing tricks upon his supe
rior officers. But if harry had both
iug very brilliant about his charJacter
—and brillianef, mind you, is a'very
dangerous thing for a naval midship
man to be possessed of—he had some
thing that was far better ; he had the
plodding spirit so characteristic of
the Saxon race, that indomitable per
severance which is inseparable prom
the!true Englishman's nature; and
so, from the very moment Harry be
came a naval cadet and floated away
from shore, peiched upOn his sea
chest, to join tiffs ship, although net
.enamored of his•new profession, Har
ry " meant to gp oh with it." NO,one
likes the sea at first—there is so
much to endure, so much to conquer;
bat these same hardships, l when over-1
come, naturally make us love old
ocean all the more.
When Harry and his sea-chest were
bundled—rather unceremoniously, it
must be allowed-,:on board the gun
boat " Badger." the first thought that
occurred to, him was, that he bad
never seen such conflision in his life;
for, although the vessel ; was under
sailing orders,and in less than twelve
hours would be south of the Needles,
hardly any of the', stores had as yet
been struck dOwn, and the deck was
a perfect litter. Harry wouldn't have
known ,what to di), if it hadn't been
for ' his friend and - servant, the co3i
swain. That worthy sailor touched
him on the shoulder and told him to
go and report himself to the tall-offi
cer who was walking the qtrarter
deck. •
" That," added the coxswain, " is
the Commander, Tiot a stricter officer
in the service ; t'other, the short gray
headed gentleman's the doctor, the
kindest anti best hearted ; that ever
breathed. ;Slicer off, master, they be
lookin'Ahi* way."
"And SO,iyoungster," said the cap
tain, who, to Harry's Mind, couldn't
have ( been Much shorter than the fun
4el of hisown ship, "yod:'Ve thought
proper to join at last; have yOu ? A
fine lot Of French leave you've tak
en."
• Poor Harry felt as if he had a pin
cushion in his throat, which he could
neither get down nor up, and it was
only with difficulty he restrained the
tears. The commander wasn't !slow
to note the lad's confusion. •
" So, ho !" he continued, "going to
ery,hey? Brought up at ladies' sem
inary, hey ? Pretty sailor you will
make."
• `• Excuse me, sir," said the surwon,
whb had entered the navy rather late
in life, and although twenty years
and over had elapsed since he left'Old
Ireland ? still retained, the slightest
spice in the world of the brogue—
" Excuse me, but I cannot be mista
ken, this is a grandson of my old and
esteemed friend, Gen.. Stratlsburn.
There's a drop of the raal blood in
him, sir. Trust me, hell make a sai
lor right enough."
Dr. Fitzgerald's face was very
homely and deeply pitted with the
small-pok, and as brown as an old
bo's'wains, but Harry at that, moment
thought he.had never seen such'
pleasant man in his life.

,
" sorry I spoke t i? said' the cap
taintby no means ?angrily, aslie-push
ed Marry oVer_to the siftgeolh. " Fake
hits MI hit& t Bailor or loblolly boy
tir h im, just as you please."
Thy surgeon laughed. • "Come
along, my boy," he said, " and • I'll
show, you your mesamates, and a
kough lot you'll find their: pall 3,01
?"
I.think' I can," said Harry, mod
estly,'!" but I never tried,"
" !ha !" laughed the old doer
tor; "Very good indeed. Capital"
A lung, low, dark room on tine side
of the; steerage, lighted only NJ' Mk.°
small Oortl•-:ztlita was the gun room.
A table occupied nearly its entire
space„ leaving merely loom, and no
more, forthe cushioned ioekers which
served for seatia. - "The siirgeon,knock
ed ,and entered, dipping his head as
lie did; so, to allow a pUrier's- shoe to
whistle harmlessly °vein,.
"Ohl Pottle away dlietor, l said a
Voice, " I thought it waS that beggar-.
ly steward ; he has allowed Johnson
to drink my rum again to-day."
" said the doctor, A‘ you
`drink his to-morrow."
"Never get a chance,, sir, or I'd
do it every day. Ifni that .young
Griffin come to join'''
The speaker was a tall, lank, raw
boned youth,who sat in it corner with
both legs on the table, it position lie
was justified by the mica of the mess
in assuming, because lie had 'been
round both capes. !
" Oh, dear, dear good 'old doctor!"
cried a young fair hared middy,
jumping up and throwi g his arms
tarclessly aPoUnd the sm3geon's neck,
" 'm so gla i you've cone." •
" What's iu the wind .now, young
cub'?" asked the doctor.
"Oh ! logarithms, daddy, loga
rithms and 'gebra; you'll do an equa
tion for me, won't you 2"
"Not this watch, my'boy," said
the surgeon; "ask your new Mess
mate hem"
" Can you do log's and 'gel) ?"
This appealingly to Harry:
" try," said Harry, and down
sat the two together % aWay wenE the
surgeon,
surgeon, and in less than five Min
utes the two youngsters Were as thick
as "thieves, Harry promised .to do
all his messmate's sums for him, "for
you know," that youth Ofplaihed,
" I'm an ahtul lazy beggar; ; Lawson's
my name—Lazy Law•son;the instruc
tor calls me ; and can't he hit hard
with the ruler ; my worti !"
Lawson also gate him a history of
all his mossmateS,from the suh-lieu
tenant—who was quiet and allowed
Hicks, the lanky youth and tyrant of
the mess, to do as he liked—down to
the young and inoffensive purser's,
Clerks
Thus ear, reader, perhaps you have
thought my little hero green. He
wasn't, however. I Ile was one of
your quiet, considerate English boys
who always think before they speak,
who take. things In at a glance, and
ho matter how soft they look,
are not td be imposed upon.
~The ward room officers soon found?
out Harry's (rood qualities, and greW
very fond of v 'hien, especially the sllF
geon,.Who invited Harry to make 14 - 4`e
of his cabin every day to read or stu
dy in. Like most of his class, the
'rioctor was a good sailor; 14e could
so to speak, box the eompassi, splice a
.rope, stee=r the ship, or navigate her;
and he often gave Harry = what he
termed a " hitch " out of a difficulty.
Harry's life in the gun room was
rather a rough one, but he soon set
tled down to it ; not that he followed
in the footsteps of the oldsters, mind
you. He treated the steward polite
ly, bid,, he didn't pet him one moment
and shy a boot at him the next, nei
ther did he bully his own servant—
'and honest Dan"Williarns would have
done anything for hinrri But Harry
had t,, subthit to he bullied a good
deal himself. Hicks took his, rum
regularly; Harry didn't inind. Hicks
" borrowed " his pens, ink and paper;
Harry had plenty. The mildest name
that ever Hicks called him was"muff,"
'but even that didn't hurt Harry:
Harry 'didn't search his Bible to I ,
find the proverbial five pound note,
but he searched it to find something
far better, 'nudes he was; , and night
and morning he knelt by the side of
his,.sea-Chest, and he never felt a bit
the. worae for it.
Harry had . been to sea for three
years, and - every day of those three
years Hicks had had his rum ; but
one day poor Williams was so ill that
he could hardly ; stand erect, and
Harry did not hesitate to give him
the ruin that day.
" Crash! That was a blow, and
Hicks was the giver, and poor Harry
lay stunned and bleeding npon the
deck.'
The same evening, on the orlop
deck, Harry took off his jacket,which
Lazy I;awson held, and told Hicks
to stand uplike a man.
I won't describe the fight. Suffice
,it to say that; nextday Hicks had to
go on the sick list, and he couldn't
appear for a whole week. But
body pitied Hicks.
And Harry's life in the gun rooni
was more pleasant after that.
CHAP. 11.-AT LAST
When three years had gassed away
—and, oh, how quickly years do fly
in the navy ! Harry felt he liked the
service. When five years had come
and gone, he, positively loved it and
wouldn't have chanted places with a
lord .on shore. All this time Harry
had never once been home, for when
one commission was done he had V 4 ,.
unteered for a second ir. the , same
station; and not. only he, bu t t
dearest friend, Lazy Lawson, and hiS
faithful: servant, Dan Williams, had+
all managed to effect an exchange
to the corvette " Vengeance,''' just I
newly
,out from England. Harry was
soon senior midshipman on that ship
and erelong junior sub-lieutenant '1
You would hardly have knoWii
Harry Winsome now. He was
longer the little bashful tbOy, who ] .
rode On-board his first ship, on top of,
his sea-ehest,but a tall and handsome
young man—still a little qniet
jog, and with a cast of care in
countenance, but with fair tirrepressi-'
'hle hair that curled °veil his well'
bronzed brow; and, an eye that never
feared to loOk yot in the fa,ce.
" Heigho !" said Harry to,his friend'
and chum one .iinday morning, "

`there's an 'end: Besides, there's ludk
you know. • The skipper never fell
into the hands of the nativel, and
gave me a chance of saving his life.

Harry tattle tiown ithinist as qUiek
ry as he had gone up, went belowiand
entered the commander's cabin.: In
a few moments` ,the order was passed
to let the men inive dinner a half hour
sooner; and even a novice could have
told from obs(Awino• the unusually
beaming faces of both men and offi
cers, that something more than usual
was in the wind. The ship was kept
away a few points in the - direction of
the strange vessel, which in less, than
an' hour could be seen from deck—a
large three-masted ship, tinder every
stitch of canvass she could carty.and
keeping well In toward the land.
The," Vengeance " rose and tell on
the long smooth rollers of the Indian'
ocean. Which of us has not seen or
read Of the beauty of this romantic
sea ; of its bright, pellucid waters,
beneath whose depths are spread gar
dens of marine flowers, of colors
bright as the lines of the rainbow ; of
the little Caroline Islands that dOt
its surface, greenLfringei I with waving
palm trees ; of its blue skies, flecked
with fleecy cloudletA; of the strange
nails that, sbird-like, skim over its
waters, and of the peace that seems
to hang foreVer around it For::ver
Nay, not forever—for at night, when
all is quiet, you dean In;ar the cry of
the tortured slave in the dark woods
that line its shores; down among the
flowers lurks the dreaded shark; the
scorpion dweHs on the coral islands;
: those strange sails are often pirates,
and at times the cyclone eareers
across its waters, and many a gallant
ship and many a brave sailor lie be
neath its waves.
It was the rainy season. Instead
of the Mgt lit blue sky usual in these
latitudeii, the sky was overcast and.
of leaded hue, the forked lightning
playe l d ineessiintly on the surface of
the water, while any wind there was
came,in sudden. gusts and wild, awl
had . hardly come till it was gone
again.'
Thu " Vengeance '' was in . ehaSe,
and every eye on board was strained
watching the great three-master, still
a long way ahead of them, for, altho'
Able "Vengeance" gained upon her in
; the lull, with every squall - the strange
'ship seemed positively to fly over
the waters.
When, after a short twilight;,' ight
fell dark and lowering. , the " Venge
ance" was still a long lay astern, and
the ease seemed all bit, lust. Down
in the captain's o'itineil of
war was held, at which Harry was
the youngest officer. Jotima, the
dark-skinned Arab' interpreter, was
talking as he entered.
"1 tclkyou what, sir," he was say
ing excitedly, "you wrong !• Pat
ship not go flutter south; she cross
the bar to-night, land slaves to barra
coon, and then clear Oil) for the in
spection of British officers !" And
Jooma bowed low, jn mock ceremo
ny, his, audience.
" Well, after all, captain," said the
navigating lieutenant, " I third: old
Jooma is right. Ile talks like ahoiik,
and we are right off the Rangoon,
bar even now."
" Then, by heavens !". cried the
captain. " where. she goes my boats
can t folloW." .
" Hurrah to that, sah !" said Jooma.
" Itutonind," continued the cap
tain, " old friend as you are, Jponni;
I'll hang you if you've xleeeived us!"
"Jooma live a long time yet,sar,"
said the Arab.
It was midnight the "Venge
ance" ceased to steain. and east ;
ehor outside the Itangoona river in
live fathoms water. Midnight, and in
tensely dark: Five boats were called
away, yet it seemed like madness to'
attempt to cross that dreaded bar to-'
night, where the rollers ran mountain
high and .broke in foam on every
side.." Whatever a man dares he can - I
do," was the motto of Captain Cam
eron, of II; Al: steamer "Venereance."
JoOnia's boat went first, the rest fol
lowing in Indian file; and it was so
dark that even JoOnia had to guide .
hitn, while all that 'could be heard
was the cont4ant tum-tumming in the
Indian village, and the occasional.
'quavering shriek of an Arab sentrY.
The boats are among thebreakers.
Jooma's light, like a guiding star, is
on' ahead, , ---now seen, now hidden,
with the rise and fall of the boat.
