An old Mend. of mint) Captain Al bert, Somber •was upon the. point of sailing for New Holland, and I made up my mind to take a trip with bim, be balling generously offered me thug quartere..in his cabin. The ship which he commanded. was a hea dy Indiammi: On the present i occasion be was to „take a few convicts for. Botany Bay, and he bad quite a number of passen ..gers who bad taken passage for Cape-Town, where they talked of Ideating themselves for agriculthral purposes. In addition 'to hii ;cargo,-which -was mostly stores for tbe'colo 7 ay at New. South Wales, be carried some thousands of pounds in-gold, that wascomign -oto the governor at Sidney.. ".; ,‘ .' .

Our.ship.was a noble craft; and she af forded all the comfort that could reasonably =be desired. Captain Souther was, act. excel -lent ship master, being ,it : Stout, ~ hrave man, and very coal in•seasons of dan'ger. His crew "in:insisted Of forty men, -Moat of . whom had 'been under him some years. He liked them :for their uniform good - conduct and subordi-. *Lion, and they liked him for his kindness :kid gentlemanly bearing„ The conviets,. six in number, rime carefully disposed of, so that . no trouble could be apprehended from them. -The passengers for Cape Town were fifty.:six ifu - number, rind s they were all of iheur stout, able men.

Theerew were alLon deck, but moat of . the Cape Town passengers were+ below.. There _were only five - or them lip ; 41 they were on the starboard side of the (*castle. - I care leasly lounged forward as fari as the waist, and then I climbed up on a 'ter cask . and leanerover the rail. When I turned to come down I cast my eve's into the long boat, my elevated position giving me aLview of its in terior,-I could see beneath the t boat's tempo rary led, which during pleaseht.Weather was sometimes raised, and I knew ~hat. I saw .the .very spot. where_ the captain thad seen the bag i .hut it was not there for mg to sea I saw other articles which he bad dfscribed as ly ing close about it, but even they were not in the position in which be had described:them. I knew the bag must have beeti,.; moved. Much of the baggage of these Cape. Thwners was in .the longboat, so they bad ?elect liberty to go there' When they ehtssei As soon as I had taken theqobservation, I Went down to the galley to lighla . The galley wits. forward, on the steetage deck, and .13aving, lighted my cigar, r quietly wok a stroll along the deck, whistlingi a careless Medley as I went ; seeming as easy its though I Were _half asleep, bet yet with every. wit to work. All the passengers were there, some of them-lounging about, and' Others. sitting upon•tae deck.. h looked carefirlly into eve ry eye among them, and I was. not slow in reading the tuiNcitief that brooded there. 'lflam to read-a villain I `irant to look him directly in the eye without mistrust ing that I suspect him. Theregs_a peculiar expression 'of the eye under such circumstan ces,—an expression that. I camint-clearly de fineebut yet which long - years - irf experience given to my understanding} It is a sort of wavering expression—a tendency of the eve' to drOp before the gaze of atstranger. It has a kind OT wistful sparkle, top,--and then Ahem is a twitching of the. musbles beneaih the lower lid, as though that eye wished. to look calm, but could not..

He understood me,, and when,he left tlus cabin he was calm as could he. I enjoined it upon 'hint that , he should not overlook, in the least; the • movements of the Cape Town'els. After he bad -gone, I sat down to think.-- It was a hard case to say the least. There were fifty-six-of the passengers, and I believed that all of them were in the plot. We could only muster forty-two, to oppose then; for of course we could not trust the six convicts. then perhaps, th ese fellows might .mean to. set the convicts at liberty and enlist them in the mutiny. Difficulty arose on every hand. In the first plaCe I knew not how-the vil lains meant, to move, when,—and in the next place r they had all the mini, and we had none,—and next, we could not alarm the ciew . without, arousing the enemy; I knew full well that the moment. the Bailout found. out the mischief, that moment they would betray' themselves. They wereloo im; pulsive to be trusted with • such a secret, at present.. Of come the villainswould 'be reg ularly organized, with a plan of operatien till concicted. Presently:Carala Sedther carp& - down.. " qaptain," said I, "%viva -on ettAti t induced you to to take such a villainous looking set of fellows on board P I could not help it," he replied: "They purchased . their passage in a lump, of the corn pane's suhlr.gent'at Liverpool: -tut then they did not all look like villains:" - ." Perhaps not," I rejoined. The truth- was, oven I had just.detected them as villains, I spoke at first under the influence's of annoy. ance. ‘. • I informed Somber 'Chat I believed the' whole gang of the,Capemen were in thOloody 064 and 'also that I appreheuded that their ptans were all NW; Ile.. was very nErvous and very anxious. and he told me that 'he must depend upon me entirely. I 834' that he placed great confidence in my, :ability to, eircuniverit the villaiirs,'and I kornised him that I would do all could to help him, and in return, I made him pledge hirnflelf that: he .would remain perfectly passive,: seeming to. take no notice of the movements of the sue -pected men: My first object `was to find out, if possible, when the mutiny was to be openly Made, so that I might know .what time I could: devote to observation, To this 'knowledge I. was helpedl)y, a very slight. accideni. When. went again on deck, I,found nearly all of the Cape Town passengers were up. My • first surveilaneo 'was`upon 13reton.. He was a dark featured, slim built man, with a face all most bloodless, showing a heartless,, - sold blooded ,fellow. His eyes were sharp and quick, and he looked exceedingly, intelligent. 'He was just the man to lay , a deep, deadly scheme. I Was soon satisfied, from the Move meat thitt I saw, that he was the leader, and also that, he had no mistrust that his plans were suspected. After taking such a general observation as I deemed sufficient, - I lounged carelessly forward. Brenton, was just abreast the fore mast, and was at work with :a . needle and thread upon his fee-jacket: As I passed slowly bithe spot where he sat, I-sew that he was sewing a leather strap upon the inside of his tick jacket. It was a narrow strap, thirteen or fourteen inches in lengthj'and be -fastening loop-like beckets. My step Miy have been quicker as I passed op, for I hadreach-, ed an important point—l was confident Of it. Brenton was sewing that strap on the left hand, inner side of tha breast, and it Vag surely for the, purpoie of holding a cutlass and pistols! In the - course - of my walk about 'the deck, I (nand six other men engaged in the same occupation ! "Now," thought I, ," their plan, is ter ;!aliu ,place to-night" These fellortl often rerunin , ed on the deck during the eVening, and, as the nights were damp and cool, they made a practice of throwing on their pe.a-jacketti af ter nightfall. This conclu'sion was easily i ar rived -at i fcrr those Chickjackets were cert Si n - - being prepared to hold offensive weapons, and they would not certainly be worn till af ter dark. NoW.I felt easier. . 0, bow easily I could read the mischief in the countenances of those men,now 'that I was upon. their scent. Every look--,every Motion was caught by and turned to accoe. I I saw bow curiously they turned to t eir leader, and se* bow, eagerly' they ever dud anon looked towards the long-boat.. The I saw the wistrut glances they frequently toil ed towards the eabin.• I could see the word "coin" upon their lips, and I could read the thought of murder in their hearts! At noon, I told the captain of my progrdss, .and bade'him rest easy, only enjoining upon him that both lie sloikkkbave' an eye out to the long boat. Among the Cape ToWners, the're was one that particularly arrested my attention.. Ile was a young man, and though there were smpletnarks of evil upon' his tonntenanee, yetl quickly detecteditat Ile was of a timid nature: I noticed - that his kand' trembled . while . he • was at -*upon pe,a jacket, and that he would turn,ludilenly pale whenlie found any one looking at him. I had beard him called Malcoltri: Of Mini datermined to make same use,if I could ,glee my haridion him. •' • Al! .of m that afternoon T reained:au deck, r and Ilium that no look from ettherSoutber, Millman or Myself conlcLhave bistrayeitenr atliplCiOnß. It came to be nearly dusk, and the oportunity I' bad iong wished for, turned up in my favor. Malcolm came towards the wheel, Ad.! beckoned to - him - to approach Me. Ire did So but trembled- when be came up. "Can ! pa read +Wog r I. asked. - in a . pleasant and cor.fidental way. •• " Yes, sir,','.- he replied. . "Tben I Wlsh you!, would come into the cabin; and help me to Ittaiscribe a part of the ship's fog. I meant to write it all up in, my own book, and I .haVe 'neglected it for the past few days. You can read it off while I write it. - Come—l satisfy you for it.". lie seemed, - totally-disarmed of , all fear by my frank manner,, and! he followed, rm with= dot hesitation. • When we reached the cabin I lighted a Candle. and then bada *Malcolm to takea seat; - With 'a steady•hand - _ I drei a sharp carving knife from iny hasorn.

He shook in every NO; 'I salt , that I had not beep mistaken in his character. "Now," said I,'Still keeping my position, "1 am going to ask you some questions. Life is at stake, - and I would as lierpitinge this knife to your heart as to e#lt my supper. If you hesitate, or !lel° me ythi-are a; dead pan I" Is . there not a plan formed among your companions for robbing this.ship?" . The fellow was thunderstruck.

Yes !" guano. the hoiror stricken man, in an alinost indiblc whisper. • . " Are not all your Cape Town companions ,engaged in this plot?" With all hiifearibe fellow hesitated. I saw that he had Other things to fear.beside my knife, so I resolved to touch him ort the tender • " Mark ine," i "I know the-crime you'have planned,. and if you will confess to me the whole plot, I will see that you ate Saved Worn berm.
