Hunter of the herblesspeak—

Snow-white bird of bloodless beak,
Rushing 'wing and rapid eye!

And, 'mid natures curbed or tame,'
Thus encaged, n captive left Tee!—
Thou wbo, Earth's low valleys scorning,
From thy cloud embattled nest,
Wont to catch the earliest morning
Sunbeam on thy breast!
Where , did first the light of day
See thee bursting from thy shell?
Was it where Ben-Nevis grey
Towers aloft o'er flood and fell?
..Or where down'upon the storm •
Plaided shepherds gaze in wonder,
Round thy rocky sides, Craingorm!
Rolling with its clouds and thunder?
Or with summit,•heaven-directed,
Where Benvoirliell views in pride,
All his Skiey groves reflected
In Loch Ketturin's tide?
Boots,it not;—but this we know, - '
That a wild, free life was thin;
Whether on the peak of snow,
Or amid the clumps of pine; •
Now on high begirt with heath, • • .
Now, decoyed by cloudless weather,

Naked;-treeless shores, where howling

And far north the daylight dies, . • .

Glitter through the icy skies,
Down from mid-slay's ghastly throne;
And the moon is in her cave,
-And no living sound intruding,
Save the howling wind and wave, • .
'Mid that •tkkess ever brooding ;
Morn as 'twera in anger blotted
From Creation's wistful sight,.
And Time's prcigress only noted

• 1 IT irati alowery day, the 10th of July, 1814,
'so said an old Man, from whom-we .had the
partieulars of theincident we. are
,about to:
relati. . 'On a point of land at the mouth. of
'Saco River, which :makes out beyond a basin.
of . water -knowh as 'The. Pool,' stood taro . :
:Mee.. ~ They were; roughly'dressed, 'and the •
:cut and rig of their garbs showed them to,,be,
Ifilherinen; or, perhaps, lumbernien and coast:.
Pi
'sete elde r of the two was a•stout, thick- ;
set u4u4 s.emeWhere about fifty years of age,,:
and Nearing uponi his face the marks of a .
-bad, fearless persen. The other was several

stout fin . his btidd; yet showing enough -
,Of
Muscle to, entitle him to the respect of one
;who Molted for Manhood in physical strength.
The lii.,,t—he of the most years—was named
Sam Latham, and : everybody about the coast
knew ' ; :hint well;. The . other was . a Jerry
Clarke; and feeil were the people Whys, knew
one that, did net knew the othe r ,r. for they
Were always together;—in health and in sick
negs, in sunshinl and in storm, upon the shore
or upoh tlii; sea.',',
I
It was near nkon when they stood there,
end th.y were looking off to sea, where a brig
of-War ~ ,was stanling.in undei reefed top-sails:
This brig was 411 Englishman, and . she had
li 4 -eti off the montli of the river nearly two
Weeks,: much toi„ the. discomfort ?of a .fleet of
lumbermen, wi were anchored ; along shore

1. `I tell you. whnt, Jerry,' said Sam Latham,
after he had gaiied some • ten Minutes upon
the EngliSh brigiin silence, ' we're fairly shut
tip here. ,113 y. tb'e great Moses, it's too. bad:
If we only; had our lumber do .s'n shore,' we

I"like 101 - iterated Sam. l'lWouldn't l'
sink 'enti' it I could !'
. While theyl ere thus conversing on the
subject ;of the enemy, they became aware of
the: approaeh of a third party,tind on turning
they saW en of gentleman - whom they at
once- reedgnizil as a Mr. Webb, a very
wealthy; men, who , owned much of the ship-
pin,g in the river.( lie approached our two
friends, land after having gazed. a few mo.:
ments upon theitilockading brig, he turned to
Latham',,and said ii• • '

:Beth ,S'itte and Jerry had eyes and ' ears
open. I'4 this accorded exactly with their
own feelings. ii . • . .
' l' I'm ready,'
,t.vas Sam's response; 'only
shOw me a way, fi nd give me a chance, and
I'll do anything...! ii
Well,' • returaed Webb ' i " 1 can . raise sev

' of their Crews', if Sbniebody Will. only take the
, lead; and .put th re in a fair way to work:
i
Now if you Wi ll contrive some way to get
theta abosird that brig, I'll give you one hun
dred dollars. ; COme, now set your wits at.
work.' ~' -.. I
. .
'By thunder!') muttered Sajn, as he cast
his eyes lff upon the brig. It 'was- a simple
ejaeulation, and was only thrown Out as a
sort i Of. .index to, the weight of-hrs feelings...--
HeloOked . uponlthe .brig awhile,_ and then
upon thelsand at 'feet, and then' he looked
into Isit. ; i:Webb's face. -
- -.-
' What do you say, Sarni' • 1 4 :• ,
.-- -- Jiist as Webb spoke, the brig,tacked and
stood. off;. ~ • .- 1 .."Mee , the '
way

Sam] muttered ;I \‘ standin'--off an' on here just
,to . 'ls?ther, us_ an' steal our bread an' butter.
Letthe think 'squire, just let use think.' ~
FOr some moments old Latham thought,
and the look of earnestness which rested 14,-
on his feattires, and the nervous working of
his handi,showed he Was thinking to some
purpose; . .1 - - : _
Jerry,' he said, - addressing his companion,
and Speaking in 4 thoughtful manner, 'it is
ping, toI 'he -dark!to night.' .
Clarkereieed his, eyes to ;the heavens, and
thenlheldAip his hand to ascertain which. way
, . .the wind -Wind ;Came frOm..

. . . .
Lithatsi looked into Jerr y 's face for so m e
monfientsaiid then he tureed.towards Webb.
'lll tell you what 'tis 'squire,' he said, 'if
I .4:sui have your old slObli—the Sally Anti-.

out this Very night. If it's as dark as I think

there, Sam followed Mr. Webb. Before

collected ,:and rowed out to the Sloop, which
.had been hauled out into the stream, to avoid

them were supplied with' pistols, alistik
dusk the sloop hoisted her anchor,
s and i lfr,
Webb went on shore; There was'a lurgei
crowd collected upon the river's bankAki sei
her on; as her sails filled and she heliah:
to move through the water, they gava Otte§,.;
hearty cheers.. By the time the sloop rftach-;'
ed the Pool it was fairly dark, and hero
dropped her anchor again. • i
Sam' Latham now called his men on lieek'
and informed them of his plans. He kriltr,
nearly all of them, and he knew them
•a brave.set of fellows, and after he had stay 11:
plainly just what he intended to do, thei . .oo-; 1
proved of his decision, and promised-tot464'
by hiin to the last. • He had no ddsiro :Of
start out until nearly midnight, for* he.4:44tH
ed utter darkness to cover his work
At about 'nine o'clock, a light drizzlyi rain
set in, and it was dark as Egypt. Not a; st 4
could be seen, rior'was there the least Spntbf
re l ief in the black canopy that. hunt!' OV , et
earth. At tent o'clock the wind rdeW
the northwest and was, quite ' , fresh' •Thi
bonnet was taken from the Jib, and.the
sail reefed, and as the darkness was, as coilit
plete as could be desired, the Yankee Skipp 4
'resolved to get *under weigh: Accordingly ,
the anchor was run up once morel, and ;sail
made. Latham steered by the • colpilk:44
and he knew very nearly the direetiOn
which the brig would be most
found. 'Lookouts :where stationed forwnrd,
and one man took up biz station on thel!elid
of the bowsprit.
;-
Fur over an hour .the. sloop stoodlioPt
nearly east, with the wind upon the larlq)arkl
quarter. The binnacle light was so skided
that: scarcely.a ray could escape, only It av
ing an aperture large enough for the heltn.
man to see the compass. • About 1 half past
eleven the man on the bowsprit reported that
he could see a light ahead. Latham sptang . ,
lOrWard, - and after gazing a:few moment
made cut the brig's light. Ire could.,lsce
'that she bad a: lantern at the binnaele'?andl
another at' .the forecastle companion-Way.. :
Her ports were open; and the rays. of the
Ilanterns • were seen , through them.' 'After
Watching some minutes he decided that i.the,
~Englishman was standing' to the nortlerd, „
'close hauled; and she was now passing ditieet-'
ly under the sloop's fore-foet. --
By the manner in which she passed, Latham
knew she had but very little sail set, *4- he
,saw that he could run her by the board as
soon as he pleased. The drizzling rain !till
,continued, and thenight was as black as_.eter.
Ile brig ~,could: not have been over an ogh i k
'of a mile distant, for even her lights could - ,
not have. been iseen through the thick
kirther than that. I ',;
Now, my men,' said Sam, as he cattle. to.
.the _gangway,. trm aboaVtif
follow as soon
,ss can. Tres
on the-larboard tack, and I can 1,114 -
pn.the quarter in tea minute:s. You thathaV6

`off, the Englishman 'II have time to beat t.O -
quarters, and then we're done to,. By the
time we're alongside, her lanterns will '4IVe
I us 'light enough to see how to operate:
. 44
out for your arms, now, and remember }shat
You've got:to do. Step sure, but step ,
tow look our - sharp for my orders.'
Sam then stationed men-at the sheets and -
I; then he went forward again and gut hi
,eye
upon the brig. .•
, . .
"You may lutTa couple of points,' he Sitid,
•
as soon as he got the 'brig fairly in sight.----?
Round in a.little on the sheets. Steady, Si)." •
By this time Sam could see the dark for,rnS .
!pethe men as they passed to and fro by t.he
ports, through' which the rays of the lanterns
came. and 'he distinctly . ' heard the order's. of
'the offieerwho had charge'of the deck.. Inle,
feu, - moments more he could: make out.ithe
lines of the brig's nettings, and he saw4hat.
he could strike, now by- luffing :sharp up..
Accordingly he passed the order la aslo* :
tone-as possible : The sloop came up hand;
ssamely: •.
•
Let, - eVerything go cried Sam, ati
.Sprang frOm.,his post and leaped tom ardaith.o .

Jarb - oard rail. The grappliiigs thrwn,',
with pr4,iion, and the two vt_sels Wcre . lfast

Not one of the Englishmen was - arrned,
for theyprobably thOught the wilfsion oar the'
result of accident, as they had not distiuFtly
understoo';' Latham's order to his men. . • -
What ho ! yon rascally lubber,'
, y4le4-
the Englistman; push off! push off!'
But the lubber did not push oil; but iii tie,'
stead thereof he clung the closer, and in a ioo:
ment more the brig's side was 'lined 'ith
armed men. - Half a'dozen lanterns bad lieen
lighted by the Englishman for the purpose
of enabling : them to look into the cause oftlie - .
catastrophe, and when their beams fell upon.
'the smne they discovered that their . deck '.. l ,Avas
'swarming with strangers. 'The glitter Of
bright steel flashed ;upon their sight, and be.
'fore they could fully realize what had ocenrr.

as scan as be saw that there was - light

.These orders were quickly obeyed.
