THE SCR ANTON TRIBUNE-FRIDAY MORNING. MARCH 30. 1894.
THE DEAD SHIP.
Tli following narrative in taken verba
tim from n umuuacript left by the late Geof
frey l'emlier, sometime master of tho let
ter of niurqmt Misery, who ilied at the BgS
of no iii 1 rus, and who Ilea buried in the
ohnrobyardoi St. Mary's at Shrewsbury!
la tho im nt li iif January, 1708, Mug
then in my flfty-fonrth year ami having
followed the sea all my life, l obtained
coruniuud of tho letter of marque Misery,
a ship of BOO tous burden, that mounted 16
KUns on the broadside and it long brass
Wire) on the quarter dirk, and that bad
been litted out by SOmO merchants of llri-e
tol to cruiso against tho Spaniards iu the
West lii.i -1
It was not without UTUOh labor that 1
Rot .. crew, all the better men having been
pressed for the kind's service, and when I
did get one I had no great cause to he
pleased, for a more ruflianly and unruly
Bet I never set eyes upou. Vut 1 had with
me as muster au old and tried shipmate.
Warren Hodges, and there was also w ith
ma my dear son Humphrey, who 17 years
later was killed, lieutenant of theRttby,
at the galluut eupture of tho Froneli frig
ate La Prudente oil QoualY. At the time
of which I speuk ho was no morv thau 18,
yet he was so brave ami determined a lad
and so good a scimaii that with him and
Warren Hodges I thought to makeshift to
do my business and to manage my rabble
in the forecastle.
It was ou tho a 1st of tho mouth that we
weighed anchor and dropped down tho riv
r with the tide and with a pleasant bree.u
from tho northeast. Them being thou n
convoy coming down channel and bound
for Jamaica, I lay to all the S2d and S8d
to the southward of St. Mary's, and early
ou the morning of tho 84th I lighted tho
king's frigate Rainbow, which, with the
liosport and Rlddeford, had uuder her
charge not fewer than 60 Bail of merchant
men. To my chagrin, the captain of tho
Kainbow, it young buck who, 1 make no
doubt, was morn at homo iu St. James
park than ou his ow n quarter deck, and
who was sa uted likn n French daueiug
master, pressed nine of my best men. Vet,
there being then many Spanish fri ;at. s
Rt:d ships of the line off our cast, I could
not disdain tho company of tho king's
ships and was forced to lour With it, ewu
though it cast me to dear.
With them I sailed uutil Feb. 11, when,
being as nearly as I could reckon in longi
tude 40 degrees west and latitude 87 de
grees 31 minutes south far, by cause of
tho foul weather, wo had takeu no obser
vation for two days a storm scattered the
fleet, and we. with only three of the mer
chautniea still iu sight, w ere driven by the
force of the gale to the southward.
Tho storm ubuted somewhat on the 1 Ith,
and w e were enabled tj bear up again for
Jamaica, but my meu, having now no fear
of the king's ships, pnt on from that in
stant a mutinous disposition ami soon be
gSJ) to carry themselves so outrageously
toward r.io that 1 perceived they werj
minded to stick at uothing iu order to
eeizo the Misery for their own cuds.
Being plainly assured of this as w ell by
my own sight and hearing its by tho re
ports of my faithful servant, Richard
White, u blackamoor w hom I had brought
nine years before out of Guinea, I took
counsel with my son aud Warren Hodges
to prepare for the WOtat, I caused the arm
chest to lie removed into the great cabin,
the door of w hich I fortitird from within.
I ordered the brass swivel ou tho quarter
deck to bo k?pt loaded v. ith a keg of bul
lets, so that I might be able to sweep all
tho deck forward, and I made Richard
White sleep every uight under thoj;uu.
with a dark lauteru beside biiu and a
match in his hand.
But these and the other provisions that
I took w ere of no avail against the treach
ery of the crow, and to add to my uneasi
ness I had the mortification of finding that
we lost sight one by one of tho three re
maining merchantmen, and that by tho
middle of the month w e Lad but ourselves
for company.
One morning, hearing a noise upon the
forecastle, I ran up on deck. Warren
Hodges, who Lad the morning watch, was
not to be seen, but I could hear his voice
ra: d in anger and the voices of some of the
c- i- threatening him, with oaths. Heturn-
to the cabin for n pistol and a hanger,
went forward and found that the muti
neers bad seized both Warren Hodges and
the blackamoor and had already bound
them and thrown thern into tho chains,
where they lay crying lustily for help.
I whipped out my hanger to cut the
ropes with which they were bound, where
at a great man named Morton, the ring
leader, as I now knew him to bo of the
mutiny, stepped out from among the meu
and declureu that if I dared to Interfere I
should pay the penalty with my life; thut
he and his friends had determined to seize
the ship and to cruiso with her on their
own account against the Spaniards, and
that I might either stay whf:re I was and
nerve uuder him or take the consequences.
Angered at tho fellow's insolence, I rais
ed my pistol with the Intention of shoot
ing him as he stood, but tuu pow der flash
ed in tho pan, and In au instant I was
seized from behind, flung upon tho deck
and bound as securely us Warren Hodges
and the blackamoor, My first thought was
for tho snfety of my dear son, I HOW had
the mortification of seeing him led, hound,
from the cabin, where during ull this time
ho had biitii asleep, and with US ho was
put under close guard in the bold.
Mr a full week Morton came daily to
ate us, seeking to persuads us to throw In
our lot with Lis, but wo steadfastly refus
ed, and on tho eighth day he came to us
early w ith the news that ns we were but
i.liern in the ship, and as he could not
pare men for our guard, he would send us
adrift that morning.
At noon, therefore, having lowered the
yuvl, they unbound us snd ordered ns
over the side. So stiff were we from our
long confinement and so weak from lack
of food, for the villains bad gone neat to
starve us, that we could not but do their
bidding, HOT could wo all of us do that
Without bejp from the mutineers, who
nevertheless jeered at our had condition
and mockingly wished us a pleasant voy
age. In three hours we were out of sight
of the ship in nn open boat, without either
water, provisions, sails, oars or compass,
Fitli a blajdi g sun above Ul und v.ith, as
oVideout. not I CSS than 800 leagues be
tween us mid the nearest land.
Warm Hodges had received a blow on
tnv bead at the first outbreak anil had over
since lain half dosed, speaking little. In
three) hours, maddened, ns I Supposed by
the ran, be was a raving maniac, oalllng
for water iud desiring to throw Limself
overboard, ,tnd that night ho died.
Nor were nny of us in much better plight,
rnt by taking Off our shirts, fastening
thorn together and dragging them iu our
wakowo fortUnststly collected a few shell
fish, with whieb we stilled the worst pangs
of Lunger. By continually wett ing our
clotLes also wo lessened our terrible thirst,

my counsel, drank some of the sea Water

Now were wo two indeed in it sorry way.
Our strength Lad so diminished that we
could barely raise ourselves iu the Ixnit,
our throats wire so parched that we could

bad lost all hope, of deliverance when
on .fho ninth day I saw what I at first took
for a bird's wing glisteulng in the sun
light far 10 windward. Hut, ns I soon
knew, It was a sail. My eyes ere so weak
and so ch tfg.-d with aalt thut for a time I
flared not tin V them, Vet as tho strange
ship cauio drifting rattier than sailing
right across our course I could doubt no
longer, and with my heart almost burst
ing I tried to tell the uows to my son. Hut
I could not sneak. I could oulv touch him
nnd Hiint, ami he for his part, as I niter
ward lieunl from him, could neither speak
nor see. With Infinite trouble I fashioned
a little mast and sail from thu thwarts of
the boat and my shirt.
This sulliced to enable mo to steer tho
boat, and In an hour, din ing which, thanks
to tiod and fears that tho Strange ship
might yet escape us struggled in my heart
lei- mastery, wo ran alongside ami made
last to a rope which was trailing over
board. It was w ith much surprise that I found
we were Buffered to approach without be
ing hailed, for I could perceive that our
ship was a Spaniard, but even had they
hailed us we were iu nocondition to reply.
Indeed tto sooner had I made fust than 1
fell buck senseless Iu tho bout, nor did 1
know more until darkness had net in, when
the cold wind awoke me.
At first 1 thought that I was dreaming,
and not until 1 had touched the great Lull
and watched It slowly rising ami falling
beside mo on the moonlit witter did I rec
ollect and rightly understand what had
happened. liven then itwussoiuo time be
fore, do w hat 1 would, I could climb ou
board. When at length I did so tho hlp
seemed to bo deserted. She was u big, high
pooped craft, such as tho Spaniards term
a galleon, and chiefly used for their rich
truftio with the Indies, and although her
masts were all Standing ami some of lur
sail was set there w as not a man to be seen.
l walked forward, making n groat noise
with my feet, for I could not try out.
Then I walked alt, noticing the lino guns
of brass and the new cordage, until 1 put
my baud on the handle of tbo door of tho
great cabin and opened it. XbeU, from
weakness, 1 sank dow u on the threshold.
There was no light within and no sound.
Even there 1 could hear the lap of tho wa
ter against the ship's side. It w as as if tho
whole gslleon wss asleep, save that could
distinguish no breathing aud no motion
of slumbering men. 1 had sunk down
against a locker, and stretching forth my
hand found that It whs oeu. Within, to
my great joy, was : bag of bread, which,
with seme small flasks of w ine, 1 made no
scrupleof taking, and as soon as 1 was
again a little recovered 1 returned, even
before I had ministered to my own crav
ing, to my son, who still lay without life
in tho boat alongside, lb' was so far gone
that at first I could do no more than
moisten uia tongue and lipa with the wine,
but in it short space he revived and was
able with my help to get ou board.
By this time our voices were restored to
us, and no sooner were we on deck than
we knelt down to thank !od for tho deliv
erance ho hail vouchsafed to us. Then,
taring little w 1:. therwe had fallen into tho
hands of friends or of to,
ourselves umler tbesbelter
quarter deck guns and there Ml asleep
from heer weariness.
The bUU was high When 1 ugaiu awoke,
but the decks were us before. No one was
at the helm, the sails flapped iu tho light
air against ti:. masts, and the ship drifted
whither she would. 1 was still very weak,
but some bread and u draft of wine
strengthened me, and then I set nbout ex
ploring tho gnat Vessel. Leaving my sou
Humphrey, who Jet slept, I went to thu
door of the cabin in which I Lad found
tho provisions. It was open us I had left
it the uight before, and us I drew near I
perceived that a smell as of a charnel house
Issued forth from it. Even before I enter
ed I could see that on tho deck within lay
several bodies of dead men. Not knowing
what to do aud stricken With Lorror, 1
halted.
Tho nearest body to. me, that of n tall
aud elderly man, had fallen from the bed
in which it had lain and moved from sido
to side with the slow roll of the ship. Close
to it on a kind of com h w as the body of a
boy. Farther aft were thu bodies of three
meu, ono of which w as dressed in menial
fashion, yet richly w ithal, as if its owner
in lit-! might have been servant to some
great lord. Sick at heart, I entered gently
and reverently at last. It was vain to
tearch for any spark of life there. In cer
tain of the other cabins were other bod
ies and in the for. castle and on the lower
deck a great store of them, iu uii, but
there was not ono living soul on board save
us.
When I returned to my son Humphrey.
I awoke him, and finding him much re
freshed I told him, yet not w ithout cau
tion, of all thnt I had seen. The ship, I
said, was stout and strong and well found,
but of the crew some were clearly depart
ed -for certain of the boats were lacking
and all that remained were dead. And
while we sat cleansing our sores and wash
ing ourselves hy the gun wo debuted what
Were best to be done.
Humphrey, w ho hud seen but little of
death mi l was fall of terror of it, was all
for loading our own boat with what wo
could tind and for Intrusting ourselves
once more to tl.e mercy of the sea. Nor did
I at first tieel to dissuade tho tad, fur I
feared lest tho sickness w hich Lad, as it
appeared, stricken down the crew might
now seize upon us. Vet, seeing that we
both were WSsk DD( unuble, I was minded,
if only fir a day or two, to stay by the
ship that we might properly recover our
selves i i;-; we Ventured abroad anew.
And lu this opinion he at length agreed.
But iu the evening, feeling wonderfully
Strong again, I renewed my search about
tho ship, and fo fine und beautiful a craft
did aim then t.how herself to mo that I fell
to doubting whether I could bring myself
to leave her again. And w hen bwiesth the
floor of the great cabin 1 foCnd some chests
of pieces of eight half broken open- I
doubt not by those w ho had gone away in
tho boats--1 determined that so long us
there might be hope of bringing ho ValUS
bleu prile Into port I would remuln iu ner,
in this opinion also, w hen I had given u
handful of pieenof eight Into his keeping,
my son agreed, and next day, aft-r having
passed t ii o aoosnd night on dec for fear
of the evil emanations from the dead, we
s, t to work to rid the ship Of tho bodies
and to cleanse the cabins and lower deck.
That day I was able to tako an observa
tion and to determine that we were then
in longitude 61 degress 8 west and latitude
4') degrees :j i ortli -that Is to say, lu tho
full course of that current which is called
tho great gulf Stream, und which, running
round the point r-f Florida, crosses the
As lor those WttO Hod, they were never
again heard of, nnd I doubt not they per
ished either of tho sickness or of hunger
und privation.
Tho whip carried when wo found her
only her forest ay-sail, mhuwu und foro mid
main topsails, uud 1 dared not hoist more,
knowing not what might befall us if the
lino weather should fall. Wo did not,
therefore-, mako much progress, and it WSJ
seven weeks ero w-o were iu the longitude
of Cape Clear. During all that time the
weather held, und although the wind
shifted many times It never blew hard, it
thing Which in these hit it odes and iu the
early part of tho year seemed to me so
marvelous that I could not but look upon
it us thu work of Providence, for bud a
gale sprung up we could have done noth
ing to save tlieHiiip. My sou Humphrey
and 1 never were together in tho cabin or
below. Wo kept watch in turn, wo ato
our food alone, and wo made shift to do
with so little sleep thut I have often since
w ondered that men so weak did uot sink
under tho load of deprivation aud anxiety.
Oil tho Old Head of Kimutle wo sighted
a Biniick, tho master of w hich ran uloug
side, niter we had put out our colors, and
asked for the news. Persuading him to
COmOOO board, I learned that he belonged
to Castletown, a flablng lliage in the bay
of Dantry, In the kingdom of Ireland, and
being taken by the honesty of his counte
nance 1 concluded with him and his men
to iliip with uio us fur as Plymouth,
whither l hud made up my mind to take
tho galleon, for I would not trust myself
in the channel us w e were, seeing thnt even
if 1 hud not chanced upon bad weather I
should have been at the mercy of the first
king's cruiser thut might choose to taks
luo ill tow, upon tho plea that I could not
manage the ship, and 1 i . i no uiimi to
shore my prise With all the world.
The Irishmen, therefore, to tho number
of six, came ou board upon my engage
ment that upon arriving at Plymouth 1
would paytoeach of them 100 guineas and
to tho master 800 for his pains, w hich en
gagement 1 must faithfully observed. And
so, with their smack lu tow , we made our
way up channel and without further ad
venture dropped anchor on April 'Jl iu
Plymouth sound, very weary of our voy
age, yet happy withal in Laving come so
well out of it
Upon anchoring we caused no small
OOmmoliou iu the port, no ship of so great
it burden having yet been taken since the
beginning of the war. Nor Were there
man) finer ships even in the king s navy.
llul the commotion grew greatly when,
the officers of tho pott bavlug boarded us
and made nn examjuatlon of the galleon,
It was known Which 1 myself had not till
thai mument suspected that we bad in her
bullion nnd pieces of eight to the value of
388,000, besides it cosily cargo of tobacco
and other products of the West Indies.

Duke of York himself paid me the honor
We dragged of a Visit, coming in his barge from the
f oaeof the ' moess Amelia, and it Week later I was
c immauded to attend upon King George,
wiio was pleased most graciously to oiler
my son Humphrey a commission iu tho
navy nnd mo the honor f a knighthood
for what h I deigned to call our uuequaled
exploit of taking and bringing home the
galleon. Aa tor thu knighthood, I bad no
mind for it, although the ST. Senora del
Carmen provided me with money enough
worthily to support that dignity. As for
the commission, Humphrey thankfully accept-d
it ami afterward! as I have said,
fell honorably in Lis country's service.
Poor lad I 1 have often wished sincoth.it
he Lad refused the commission and I bad
accepted the knighthood, for then it might
have happened thut he would have lived
to inherit tho w ealth which is but it sorry
burden to a childless old mail.
