THE SCKANTON TEIJJFNE-WEDlTESnAT JrOTCTSTNGr. AUGUST S. 1891.
THE BIO DANE.
For two weeks the Plunging Petrol, a
big three masted schooner, hud plowed Its
tray through tho placid waters of the Pa
olflo with a sameness that was exasperat
ing. Since leaving port nothing not even
a threatened storm or a lively gale had
broken the monotony.
The ship was bound for Rio, with a
cargo of wheat, and I was her only pas
senger, seeking health In this manner ao
cording to my physician's urgent request.
Rho was commanded ly a sturdy old navi
gator, Captain Collins.
One day about noon, at tho beginning
of tho third week, a sailor named Hales
Was placed in irons for striking a mess
mate with a marline spiko and breaking his
arm. The punishment was undoubtedly
deserved, but there were angry mutter
ing ami moro than ono sullen face among
the crew in consequence, for Hales, whoso
only fault was an uncontrollable temper,
Kit a general favorite liut when the
unfortunate man was found dead tho next
morning things began to look black fot
the ollicers.
There was no sign of wound or struggle
upon tho body of tho dead nuiu, but tho
atmosphere of tho forecustlo where ho had
been conllned was odorous with tho fumes
of chloroform.
At eight bells the following night, when
tho first niuto went on deck to relieve his
fellow oilicer. tho latter had disappeared
and could not bo found. 1 happened to be j
leaning ogaiust tho mizzenmast smoking
when tho alarm wus given anil could have
sworn that 1 had been smelling chloro
form for half an hour, although 1 did not
call the fact to mind mail the dreadful
cry of "Man overboard!" wus sounded and
all hands piped on deck.
A boat containing the first niuto and
four men was lowered nt once, tho ship
was brought about, and two hours were
spent in fruitless search. In the mean
time every accessible nook in the ship,
Which was tacking back and forth in tho
locality, was inspected with like results.
At last the searching party was taken on
board, and the ship resumed its course.
The captain now took turns at the
watch with the mate, and everything ran
smoothly till the following night, orrath
cr the next morning four bells of tho
first watch. Then when he turned out to
relievo the mate that oilicer could not be
found. The same efforts were mado to
find the missing man, and with the same
result as on the previous night, and tho
captain was nearly frantic.
On the afternoon following tho second
disappearance the captain called mo into
bis cabin, blmt and locked the door and
beckoned mo to n chair at a small table.
"My two ollicers have been murdered,
ilr. Vincent," he fairly gasped.
"Murdered?" I exclaimed. ' I have sus
pected foul play from the lirst. Have you
any evidence?"
'The best in tho world. You have no
ticed the big Dane, (jvistgard?"
"That mild looking fellow with tho red
beard?"
"Yes."
"Why, certainly, but you don't suspect
Lini, I hope."
"Of course not. On tho contrary, there
is a mutiny on foot, aud he but here is a
note he slipped into niv baud a moment
ago. Read it for yourself. Unless you j
und I and this faithful fellow can outfight
or outwit IS hellhounds, we arc doomed.
With a face that must havo been as
white as the one before me, and a hand
that was anything but steady, I picked up
a bheet of paper which the captain had
thrown on the tablu and read tlio follow
ing: "CAPTAIN I have just discovered a hor
rible plot. All the crew, except myself,
have mutinied. The mates wero knocked
on the head and thrown overboard. You
will share the same fate when you come
on deck to relieve the watch tonight un
less you hced this warning. Meet me 10
minutes before tlio close of tho second dog
watch, just uft the main hatchway, and I
will tell you everything. In the mean
time do not speak to me or send for mo,
for we are closely watched. 1 urn supposed
to side with tho crew. The least mistake
would be fatal. Don't tell the passenger.
Ho may bo all right, but 1 doubt it. For
God's sake, captain, don't go uear tho
rail."
"Don't tell the passenger," I muttered
as I looked at the captain, not only horror
stricken ut the contents of the note, but
surprised and hurt at tho uncomplimen
tary rel'erenco to myself. But the captain,
w ho must huvo divined my thuughts, re
lieved my mind on this point by saying:
"That's all right, my dear Vincent.
Tho fellow is only u trilie overcautious.
Don't mind him. I would trust you with
tlio ship, und my life, too, for that mat
ter. You see, I have shown my conlidenco
by allowing you to read the note. Now, I
want your advice. Your usnistanee I shall
count on without tho asking when thu
time comes. "
"Thank you, captain," I answered.
"To start with, I should certainly not go
on deck till it is time to meet the Dano
If I were you."
My companion had now regained his
composure to a certain extent und sat, for
a moment drumming tho table w itli his
fingers.
"Who has the watch now?" I continued
presently.
''Hutton, tho tall seaman with tho red
scar on tlio back of his hand." was the
answer. "lie is acting as first mato, und
I had decided to givo Jones, the little
Welshman, the position of second tomor
row. Both are fairly good navigators,
and, by all tho gods, I can't understand
itl I could have sworn that these two
men were as truo as the dead mates ever
were until I got this warning from Qvist
gard. But he is right, my boy; he is right.
All this comes from that unfortunuto
Hates uffulr. I wonder who is the leader.
If he could be shot or placed in irons, it
might quell the others. Have you a pis
tol?" "A small pocket affair," I onswered.
"I havo two largo ones and a repeating
riflo In my chest," continued the captain.
"How would It do to batten down tho
hatchway of the forecastlo when part of
the dogs are below at supper and pump
lead into the rest of them? I don't bellevo
tlniy are armed unless they have a few
knives. Wo could then make for tho near
est port. "
"Better wait till you see the Dano," I
replied. "He may bo able to givo you tho
name of tho leader. "
For an hour or moro we continued to
plan, but without being able to decide on
anything definite. At last it was agreed
that I should go on deck and see what
could bo learned there. Iu half an hour I
roturned with anything but favorable
news. The men were talking guardedly
In groups, and when I passed near them
they quickly dispersed. Tho big Dane was
leaning over the rail near the log, silent
and apparently watching with absorbed
attention tlio receding foam capped waves
In the ship's wake.
Before sundown all our weapons had
boon oiled, examined and loaded, the cap
tain and myself secreting the revolvers
about our persons and leaving the rifle for
tho Dano.
The sky had clouded over late In tho aft
ernoon, and night, gloomy and forebod
ing, settled down on tho schooner.
"Tho very elements seoin to bo in sym
pathy with this cursed business," said the
captain when it began to grow so dark in
tho cabin that we oould hardly make out
each other's faces, "and I felt as if the jig
Was about up with ma"
As soon as the last streak of day had
dlsautiBarud thu caotain. ravolver in hand.
mounted the compnnlon ladder nna 6toio
softly on deck. I followed liiin part way,
but stopped, accordki, to his directions,
and stood with my head and shoulders
abovo tlio compnnionwny, ready in easo of
tin omergeney to lend any assistance that
might lio in my power.
I nover looked Into a blacker night. The
air was soft and warm, and lltful gusts of
Wind dashed a few oooling raindrops
against my faeo as I held on to my revolv
er and tried to keep tho receding form of
the captain in view. Hut he disappeared
almost instantly, and owing to tho whistle
of the wind in tho rigging, tlio groaning
of tho masts and the creaking of the yard
arms I could not hear his footsteps ul'ler
he had gone half a dozen paws.
Ho carried no lantern, but several lights
glimmered fore mid aft, dancing and shift
ing unsteadily alkiut like vwitahle will-o'-the-wisps.
Mono, however, wus m -iir
the main hatchway, the place of meeting.
Anxiously 1 waited f, 10, 15 minutes, as
nearly us I could reckon time, but neither
sight nor sound brought intelligence of
tho captain. At last 1 could bear the sus
pense no longer, and I began to walk
slowly toward the bow. When I thought
I had reached the location of the hatch
way and was on tho point of coming to a
halt, I struck my foot against something
mid fell, the plunks of the deck seeming
to open und engulf mo.
While still descending through spaco I
realized what had happened tho batch
way had been opened, and 1 had fallen in
to the hold. A second later 1 found my
self lying between two bags of wheat nioru
frightened than hurt, mid with the fumes
of chloroform almost suU'ocatiug inc. He
fore trying to rise I discovered that 1 was
not lu total darkness, and that a dim light
came from somewhere, but not from
above, I was sure. Presently a mulllcd
groan reached mo from the direction of
tho stern, and on looking over my shoul
der 1 saw the stooping form of a man out
lined by tlio rays of a lantern in front of
him, about 20 feet away.
I gained my feet with somo difficulty
and was about to step forward when the
ship ''gave a lurch, and 1 was thrown
lengthwiso against tlio hull. Heforo I
could stand up again tho bent form as
sumed an upright posture, aud 1 recognized
the big Dane. Muttering incoherently, ho
picked up tho lantern and started toward
the placo where I had first fallen, off to
my left.
Whether it was fear, the shock causo by
striking tho hull or the effects of tho
chloroform that kept mo from trying to
get up 1 urn not prepared to say, but 1 did
not attempt to move hand or loot.
As the light drew near 1 discovered a
rope dangling from tlio deck. When the
Dane drew near this rope, lie deposited his
lantern beside him, rubbed his big hard
hands together with a loud, rasping noise
and laughed a low,llenuish sort of chuckle,
which fairly chilled my blood. A moment
later his merriment subsided, and taking
hold of tho rope with one hand lie picked
up tho lantern with tho other. I expected
to see him run his arm through the han
dle of tho lantern and go, handover hand,
through the hatchway, but he was in no
hurry und begau to talk iu a harsh under
tone. "So far, so good, King Qvistgard, " ho
snki. "A million pounds of diamonds
sewed up in silk sacks all my own. Oh,
What a royal present for my ebony prin
cess! Fifteen days more und I shall reign
supreme. The two mates and tlio captain
are now my loval subjects, and tomorrow
ni,,lt ti10 passenger will join them. Then
come me neaittes, liuttou and the little
Welshman, and so on down the list. 11a,
ha, ha, ha!"
Never until that awful moment had 1
heard tho. bloodcurdling laugh of a ma
niac, but I recognized it as quickly as if
I had passed my days inside tiie walls of a
nutdhousu. Heforo 1 knew it my strength,
or courage, or both, suddenly returned,
and 1 arose cautiously to my feet, discov
ering tit the same time the revolver which
had fallen from my hand when I stumbled
on the deck. It was lying almost at tho
feet of tho Dane. Advancing slowly, I
stooped und was about to pick up tho
weapon, but before I could get hold of it
the ship lurched ugain, I collided with tho
madman, and wo went down together.
The revolver escaped me, tho light in
the lantern was extinguished, and there
was a scream, a piercing cry of fright and
anguish, such as only a terror stricken
madman can utter. And then, with that
awful shriek ringing in my ears and tho
strong lingers of tlio demented Dane
clutching my throat, I became insensible.
When consciousness returned, 1 was ly
ing in my berth. It was daylight, and
Hutton was standin;: beside me. As soon
as I was able to talk he told me that just
after dark on tho previous evening a hor
rible cry was heard coming from tlio direc
tion of lUtf main hatchway, and that when
the littlo Welshman and several other
sailors rushed to tho spot tho raving Dane
was seen to climb up a rope from tlio hold.
As soon as he gained the deck ho ran
screaming to the rail and threw himself
into thu sea. I was found, more dead than
alive, and taken to my cabin. Soon after
the captain and the two mates were dis
covered, (ragged and bound, near the spot
whew I had lirst seen the Dane. Tho cap
tain recovered from tho effects of tho
chloroform which had been administered
to him and was removed with tho two
ollicers, who wero taill alive, but too weak
und exhausted to stand on their feet for
many hours.
In two clays all had recovered, and tho
Plunging Petrel was manned andotlieered
as before, save for tho nbsenco of Hates
and tho big Dano. All went well to tho
end of tho voyage.
The mutiny was only a myth in tho
mind of tlio madman. 11. SuuU'ord .Smith

'MANDY JANE PENSTOCK.
A Tale of Love and Love Charms In the

Onetime when I was up iu the Pennsyl
