dress.
The natives bad been looking at me with
considerable suspicion while I was oper
ating J but their faces aemimod a more
pleasant air as I removed the 'ball, und
carefully dressed the wound. ... .
" Do you want to come m 'board and
stay until you ' hrri better T I naked my
patient. 1
" I do not think I shall evor 'be better:;
but would like to come, if you will receive
one who has forsaken his country."
" Pooh ! stop that kind of talk, and come
along, as soon as I have got a state-room
ready."
Leaving him, I went to my vessel, and
soou was prepared to receive the wounded
man on a couch in tho cabin.
As soon as he was disposed of, a large
part of the canoes left for their various
islands, from which they had departed In
allied force to capture Darnsford, leaving
only those who were under the immediato
control of Whippey.
The prisoner was carried away with those
who departed, I avoiding seeing him, hav
ing no desire to gloat over a fallen enemy,
regardless of the crimes he had committed.
We knew that the death of Darnsford
was certain, though Whippey never men
tioned him, avoiding uttering his name,
and seeming to shudder when it was
spoken; so, seeing the subject made lirai
nervous, I forbade any one alluding to it,
-in any shape or form, where he could hear
it.
My patient revived some in a few days,
his wound appearing to heal with the first
intention, and his spirits seemed to return,
so that he laughed and joked, told us many
littio incidents about the life of the canni
bals, and urged me strongly to commence
- trading at Rava, Baying his tribe, who were
camped on shore, would protect me.
As'lio was recovering so well, I hoisted
my signal for trade, some pieces of calico
in the rigging, and went to work.
Tbe'Gottliob, had been surprised before
trade bad opened at Rava, and as I was full
of things the natives wanted, I did a roar
ing traffic at that island, the natives being
rich in sandal-wood and tortoise-Bhcll, aud
poor in our barter.
Although I was busy for ten days, filling
the Endeavor, as well as the Gottlieb, I
always fouad time to attend to the wound
of my patient ; and, as I look back to that
time, I have nothing bitter in the memory
of it to reflect upon.
We were through, at last, and started
for Lauoa, wiiere Whippey belonged, in
order to leave him, the canoes with his
tribe forming an escort of honor during our
progress.
We had to shorten sail on the Endeavor,
to allow the Gottlieb to keep up with us,
for she Lad a dull sailer with her sails re
. duced so, making Cncll rage every time he
hove the log.
At soon as we were started, Whippey
called for me.
" When shall we eoach Lauoa ?" he in
quired. "About to-morrow eight," I answered.
"Why?"
"I will tell you why I am dying."
"iDying ! nonsense 1 yoa are nearly well"
I exclaimed.
"Fur Crom it ; 1 have known for twenty
four hours that I was seized with death,
but thought then, and da now, that I
should lost a week longer.
" The tribe, aa soou as I am gone, will
declare you have killed me ; no you had
better get away as soon aa possible after
1 leave the -vessel, for couriers will be de
spatched to all .the islands, to give notico
of my death, in order that the priests may
convene to elect my successor, according
to custom ; and they will come in state,
and if you are awund, you will be made
the victim of their rage, without regard to
loss of life on our side."
" I bad rather doubt your death," I
said ; " and if you will only keep your
wound cool and courage up, I believe you'll
get well, after all," I said, as cheerfully aa
possible.
" Courage up I I should think you knew
enough of David Whippey, to know that
be did not lack that, and isn't afraid to die
now, ulthoub he is aware his hours are
numbered," he said, mildly, but forcibly.
I now saw that the man was thoroughly
frightened, or else he knew his own condi
tion much better than I thought I did, so I
at once said I would re-exanlne his wound.
Taking oft' the bandages, I gave the hurt
kevere scrutiny, and saw at once that which
I had hitherto overlooked, owing to the
immense quantity of marks from the tat
tooing he bad undergoue.
The wound, Instead of healing with the
first intention, as I supposed, although I
bad kept a rag in the orifice on the surface,
bad formed a secretion where the ball bad
lodged, and that David Whippey was suf
fering from pus poison, it having per
meated his whole system as surely as
though arsenic was at work.
There was only one recourse now, and
that was to see what effect stimulant
would have ; so I began to give him doses
pf French brandy.
The liquor had a good result i so, telling
(he mate to keep her along, as Whippey
was in a dying tato, but, as he valued our
lives, 'iiot to breathe it to a single one, 1
prepared to watch him myself,
fThO'brandy aided me, for his lifo re
mained when we sighted the island of
Xauoa, where we were to go, and we ran
into the landing-place.
illis pnlso -was very low when we got
there, but by extra doses of stimulants,
and giving him bottle to use from while
being takon on shore, we managed to get
him into a canoe alive, and, hastily filling
it with presents, we bado farewell to the
'living eotpse.
Tho natives thought as they left us that
we were only going a short distanoo off to
anchor, and ono canoe lemained near us
as we put about, Whippey having directed
them to do so, in order to lull suspicion
against our movements.
'Wo 6iw him landod and carried on shore,
waving his hand feebly as he disappeared
from viow.
'Under orders from me, tho Gottlieb had
fallen astern as wo drew near Lauoa being
nearly ,,flvo -miles away when we lauded
Whippey, I having sent a letter to Captain
Snell, iby a canoe, detailing the whole
thing, and so we knew when we kept going
for her, that they would think we were
going out to meet her, and, in fact, I told
the canoe party which was aooompanying
us, that that was our reason forgoing out
as far. as we did.
The natives of the Fcjees are a suspi
cious sot, and the fellows accompanying
us did .not like our motions, although they
aid nothing ; .only showing by their looks
that it. did not satisfy thorn.
The canoe was not one of those from
(Rava, with us, 'but a lot of fellows from
the shore, who had remained behind when
the expedition started, in order to protect
the women ; so they told us the end of
Darasfopd.
I will spare .my readers a recital of the
horrible tortures inflicted on the miserable
follow ; but 1 will assure you that he will
never act traitor again. ' a
We were nearing the ridge of coial that
encloses the Goro Boa rapidly, the Gottlieb
getting outside just as we gainod the
mouth of a passage-way.
" Good-by 1" I shouted, in Kanaka, to
the natives in itAie -canoe near us.
"Come back 1" they cried, in their
language.
We paid no attention to them, but kept
on our way. There were bo few of them
that they did sot dare to attack us ; but if
the flotilla we had loft at Lauoa had been
there, we should not have been allowed to
escape as we did.
As we passed into the open ocean, I took
my spy-glass, and going aloft, looked back
behind us. In the distance, over ten miles
away, I saw the fleet of canoes coming for
us, and I judged at onoe that the exertion
Whippey had made in getting on shore,
together with the excitement of meeting
his snmily, had proved too much for him,
and his spirit had gone out like the snuff
of a caudle ; and, as he foretold, his death
was attributed entirely to us, and that they
were now seeking to avenge him.
Getting up with the GotUiob, I hailed
Snell, and told him the Kanakas were com
ing, and urged him to keep his vessel going
as fast as he could, and get all the speed
out of her.
' I had to take the foresail off the Endeav
or, in order to reduce her sailing to that of
the Gottlieb, for I was fully resolved that,
come what would, I would not desert those
on board, if there was any chance to help
them, even at the risk of my own life.
Onward we bowled, and when we were
about eight miles from land, the canoes,
under their lateen sails, came out of the
Goro Bea after us.
There was a good wholesale breeze, but
it was as fair for them as for us, and I
hardly knew how the chase would end.
Old Neptune decided the thing, how
ever, for, as though seeing the strait we
were reduced to, the heart of the old sea
dog began to swell with pity for us, for the
bosom of the ocean began to heave and toss
with undulating throbs.
The sea, although it was nothing to us,
was a sticker for the pursuing canoes, and
they were forced to abandon the chase. I
could fanctheir disappointment and rage
at seeing their prey elude their grasp.
Getting clear of the treacherous islands,
with their swarms of man-eating inhabi
tants, we laid our course northwest by
north, and kept on our way with a fair
wind.
By Charlotte's and Solomon's archipel
agoes, hauling a little to the westward . as
we crossed the line, until we were abreast
of the Philippine Islands, when our course
was altered for the Strait of Formosa,
across the China Sea to Canton, where we
arrived after a tedious passage of two hun
dred days.
It wouldn't have taken the Endeavor
any such time as that to make the passage
from the Fejees to China ; but we had the
Gottlieb to Veep run of, for we bardly
dared trust her out of sight, for fear the
caught a blow, being so weakened by the
fire, It would be all day with her j so we
kept company right along.
Canton was reached at last, and the car
goes sold, and a statement of the peculiar
case made to the consul, who, to my sur
prise, claimed the Gottlieb at an American
vessel.
lie said she was owned by a native of
Louisiana, who was in the last stages of
consumption when he bought tho vessel,
and that he shipped the crew of Dutchmen
at heap wageB, going out half fitted for
such a voyage. - ' ' . .
The owner of her admitted to the consul
before he sailed, that he was under a ficti
tious name, aud that no one knew him
then, or should ever hear from him-again (
and it was quite likely that he had died
after they sallod, and the triato, a rough
kind of a Dutchman, ' had concluded to
prosecute the voyage.
The whole thing was left to arbitration,
and my crew received a thousand dollars
each, in addition to their wages, the second
mate of each vessel three, while my mato,
Mr. Snell, was awarded five thousand for
his services.
The balance of the unfortunate Gottliob
was placed in my hands, subject to any
claim that might in future bo made against
it by the heirs of the owner.
I was satisfied with the award, although
I have never, except to my wife and Mr.
Seymour, told what I received ; but when
it was added to my legitimate receipts from
the Endeavor, I will say that it made me
entirely independent of the sea, which I
abandoned, then and there, selling both of
the vessels to good advantage.
Do You Believe It I
The Banner of Light says : About three
miles southeast of the city of Schenectady
the highway is intersected by tho N. Y.
Central Railroad. At this point an aged
couple, Mr. and Mrs. W., well-known to
allcitizons, returning home from an eve
ning drive, were struck and instantly kill
ed by the train due in Schenectady at 6 P.
M. This accident occurred at ten minutes
before 6 P.M. '
At ten minutes past 0 a lady in t he city,
Mrs. C, of a highly nervous organization,
and intimately acquainted with the unfor
tunate couple, answered a ring at the front
door of her house beard by both her hus
band and sister. She found standing at
her door an elderly lady, whom she had
never before seen, dressed in the fashion of
years long since gone by. The stranger
said nothing, whon the lady of the house
opened the conversation by observing :
" I do not know you ; do you wish any
thing?" " Nor I you," replied the old lady.
" Send down to the 6. o'clock train ; tlio
bodies of Mr. and Mrs. W., will be on it."
The old lady then walked off. Mrs. C,
immediately told her husband, who was
in the house, and asked him to go down to
the depot, which was not at any great dis
tance. He, however, ridiculed his wife and
her nervous apprehensions ; but being
again urged, went down to the depot to
find that the train bad not yet arrived, and
no report of any accident. He returned
home at 5:40 even yet before the accident
to laught at his wife and her fears. The
train arrived a little late, and in a few min
utes a messenger was sent up to say that
the dead bodies of the couple were on the
train, and to request Mr. C. to come down,
which he did, and he helped them off.
The messenger was sent up to - Mr. C, iu
consequence of his first visit and inquiries.
There were no means of telegraphic com
munication with the place where the acci
dent happened. Afterward, in describing
the appearance of the lady to a sister of
Mr. W,, she recognized it at once' as a
faithful portrait of her mother who had
been dead many years.
' Bound to Marry.
A Lima, Ind., letter says : We have a bit
of a romance. An hour ago a young lady
from Ontario", three miles from this town,
took the cars for Minnesota to be married
under peculiar circumstances. Her intended
husband is an old schoolmate, and there
has long been a strong attachment between
them.
It was well understood that they were a
match, but no one knew when the bands
were to be tied. They set no time them
selves until a few months ago, when it was
arranged that he should come to Indiana
and be manicd. He is a farmer living in
Southern Minnesota, and, as ill-luck would
have it, the grasshoppers came along and
made a clean sweep. He did not have a
bushel of small grain. His resources fdr
funds were cut off; his wedding day was
approaching, and what should he do.
One of his neighbors offered to let him
have $70 if he would give his note for $100
at 12 per cent interest. In this dilemma
he wrote to his affianced, the belle of On
tario, to know what he should do. She
answered promptly that she would go to
him. And gone she has ; and the glow on
her cheeks this morning, and the smile all
over her face, indicate a true aud happy
heart It will take more than grasshoppers
to mar the smoothness of her love.
fW A party last week serenaded a young
lady in Philadelphia. They bowled and
sung away for fifteen minutes. Suddenly
window on the second story was raised, and
a head with a red bandanna tied around it
was stuck out of it, and a voice, which was
a little too deep for that of a fair young vis
ion of beauty, said :
"Mine frynds, oof you her got flesh or
vegetables, or dem dings, coom speak mid
me in de mornings. I ton't like to buy at
dot dime nights."
My Landlady's Chickens.
MY landlady, commonly called "Old
Statistics," from a habit she has of
informing you of the prioe of every tiling you
cat, is one of the females who delight in
markets and auctions, and many have been
the chairs and tables sent home by her that
required more patching and fixing up than
a subject before a congressional Investiga
ting committee. A while ago sho bought
two dozen live chickens. They were rather
skinny-looking ' things, and she had no
place to keep them iu ; but they were
cheap, so she bought them. Haviug no
Other place, she put them in the cellar.
Mr, Dobbs Jives at our house, I don't
know that you know Dobbs,but he is great
fun, and is always getting into scrapes,
though without the least Intention of doing
so, for he is a solemn old customer. He
has the first floor, and his particular hobby
is fresh air. Ho is always talking about a
circulation of air. The cellar door is on a
range with his rooms, so he likes to have it
open. Well, "Statistics" had securely
fastened her chickens up In the cellar. When
Dobbs came home after dinner, he noticed
the door being fastened, and instantly rec
tified that little mistake, and retired into
his rooms to take a nap.
Robinson also boards at our house. He
is a great society man, and pays great atten
tion to his " get up." On this particular
day he bad gotten himself up in gorgeous
array to attend a croquet party, and was
descending the stairs, in all the glories of
white vest, pants, button-hole bouquet in
fact, everything tn regie and thiuking
what a stunning fellow he was, when his
rather conceited musings were brought to
an end by his coming in contact with a
flock of some kind of animals that, in his
confusion, he could not tell whether they
were elephants or ostriches.
You see, the chickens were of an inquir
ing turn of mind, and when Dobbs opened
the door they ascended, and on reaching
the second story received the first check to
their curiosity by the descending Robinson.
They commenced squeaking as only chick
ens can squeak, and showed their displeas
ure by landing on his head, arms, vest, or
wherever they could obtain a foothold.
The collar is rather wet and muddy ; you
can guess how Robinson's white vest, &c,
looxea. ' '
Old "Statistics" hoard the row and rush
ed up, vowing blue vengeance on the open
er of that cellar door. Then commenced
an organized hunt after those chickens,
participated in by " Statistics" and all the
Africans of the house, and some of the
inmates. If you have ever tried to catoh a
ohioken, you "know how it is yourself;"
now you have it and now you don't. They
flew up into the most impossible places,
feathers flew, darkies swore, and there was
a big time generally.
Miss Slumens thought the noise was a
fire, and shrieked " fire" out the window ;
whereupon some energetio individual struck
the alarm, and in a few minutes the fire de
partment, or part of it, was on the spot and
in working order. Dobbs threw open his
window to explain, and received straight
from the hose more cold water than he
ever had in his life. Meanwhile an exoited
but would-be-useful crowd rushed in, tore
up the hall carpet and stair carpet in spite
of landlady's protestations. After half the
things were torn up and half flooded
with water, the affair was expbjjned and
the bouse cleared, the chickens captured,
(except one which I found that night, like
Poe't Raven, perched about "my chamber
door.") The way Robinson blessed Dobbs
was a caution, though the blessings were
very much disguised, He kept on at
fearful rate, until I suggested that " curses
like young chickens, come home to roost."
As he had had enough of that he quit It
was not safe to say " chickens" to Dobbs,
Robinson or "Statistics" for some time.
As for me, I enjoyed seeing them skirmish
ing round, and would not care if they bad
a chicken hunt every week.
Didn't KIm Her.
A gentleman who hat been recently trav
eling in the lower counties tolls us the
following amuBing story : He was stop
ping over night at a house where the par
tition walls were particularly thin. The
adjoining room was occupied by a mother
and her daughter. After retiring' the
mother began to rebuke the daughter for
an alleged partiality to somebody named
John, which soft Impeachment the daugh
ter denied vigorously.
" But," said the mother, " I saw hjra
klsBing you at the cow-pen yesterday morn
ing, Amanda."
"No, ma, he wasn't kissing me at alL"
" Why did you have your head so olose
up to his for ? yon deoeivin' critter." '
" Well, you see, ma, I had been eating
pitallat (the fruit of a species of cactus),
and you see, ma, I got some of the prickles
In my lips and and "
" And what, you wicked, wicked crit
ter." 1 "And I couldn't get them out myself,
you know, and John pulled them out
with bis teeth but he didn't kiss me nary
time."
tW A child apparently died at Bahama,
Cal., a few days ago, but while it was be
ing buried tho mother uttered a ory and
threw herself upon the coffin, exclaiming
that the child had spoken. The coffin was
opened and the cjhild found to be alive.
