"You know," said Colonel Enderby,
"It's 200 years to a day, almost, since
that DuCasse affair occurred along this
very bit of coast we are looking at."
When the colonel begins a piece of In
formation by the words "you know,"
I am always prepared to hear some
thing concerning which I was totally
Ignorant; and I fancy the colonel would
be surprised to find It otherwise. ,l
Now, It so happened that I Jjad heard
of the French admiral. DuCasse, as
having had some connection with Ja
.mailoa; nevertheless, not to disappoint
my friend, I murmured, In a semi-Interrogative
tone: "Oh... DuCasse?"
"You know what I mean," proceeded
he, with confidence. "The French
were bui'klng up the Old Pretender
the son of James II. by Mary of Mo
dena and that scoundrel DuCasse was
sent out here with a fleet to see what
he could pick up. It was a couple of
years after the great earthquake that
sunk Port Royal; but there was plenty
of booty to be had In the Island yet,
and the Frenchman knew it. ' He
fetched up one line day off Jlorant bay,
yonder, and set ashore a part of his
force there, and a part further down
the coast, at Cow bay we drove along
by there Mils morning. Well, he caught
us napping, that's the truth. He and
Oils rabble were no better than the
. worst of pirates. They made bloody
work of. It, I tell you; men, women and
children slaughtered 'em all, sir, by
Jove! Well, it's a good while since;
hut I've always wished I could have a
chance to get back at 'em; and maybe
the time may come yet there's no tell
ing ei?"
"Did they get much-plunder?" I in
quired. "I'lunder!" cried the colonel, his war
like mustaehlos bristling. "Loaded
down with It loaded to'- the gun'l!
And slaves! they carried off neiif1 fif
teen hundred of "em. We gave 'em a
touch of our ((Uality before they got off,
though," added the grizzled warrior.
"Ool. Beeston was goveronr- Sir Will
lam he was then who used to own the
land Kingston now stands on. lie was
a stlfftuld chap, was Heeston; and when
that French scoundrel tried to repeat
his Infernal tactics at Carlisle bay,
Heeston was down on him with the
.."There She Goes,"
militia, and wiped him off the Island, I
by Jove, leaving seven hundred of his j
cutthroats behind him
"By the way, colonel," Bald I, after a
' pause, "wasn't it that same DuCasse
who afterwards defeated your Admiral
Benbow in these same waters?"
The colonel was obviously taken by
surprise; huihad no notion that I knew
that.' He hummed and hawed, frowned
and bristled; .but there . was no getting
round history. "Oh, Benbow! Fine
old ctiap, Benbow; but rather a duffer,
I fancy. Oh, well, it was a long time
ngo, that; a long time ago. Charles!
bring us two more, do you hear! and
Jump, now!"
"Yassah, Massa Cunl, sah!" respond
ed Charles, and vanished with the
glasses and an Indulgent smile.
Colonel Enderby had been an honored
resident of Jamaica for twenty years
or more; he oame Tiere with a brilliant
reputation, won in the Indian mutiny.
He was the owner of several estates on
the Island and was on a round of visits
to them,' and had Invited me to take
a seat In his carriage. We were at this
moment sitting on the veranda of one
of them, a little w:ay up a mountain
side, enjoying the air of the late after
noon and a most delicious prospect of
Bea and coast.
During the pause that followed the
order given to Charles my eyes were
caught by a ship some miles, distant in
the ofllng. She added the needed touch
of human Interest to the view, and I
watched her proceedings with pleased
and Idle attention.
"What sort of a craft do you call
that, colonel?" I asked, at length. "She
looks ito me more like a Chinese Junk
than anythdng."
"K-h? Oh that? Chinese Junk; eh!
Well hardly! She is a 'queer-looking
affair, though. Where's the telescope?
Charles! Where the deuce lias that
rascal oh, gone after the ,. Why
doesn't he get back? Charles!"
"Ya8sa.h, miassa," said Charles, re
appearing with wlhat he had beea-sent
for and the same charitable smile.' " '
.''.'Humph I Fetch me the telescope,
.Charles."
: "Tel'scope? Yessah!"
"By Jove, she's an odd1 fish a very
odd fish!" muttered the colonel, after
a prolonged scrutiny through the In
strument.' "I can't say that I quite
see what yoif make of .her,
I toak-i the glass and looked. I am
more familiar with ships than with the
early history of Jamaica; but thl ves
sel came under no category I was aeV
i qualrijted with. She was not a large
boat under two hundred tons, I should
. say and her lines were peculiar vttT
rather awkward; she' was high in jthe
bows and in the stern, after the fashion
of the ships we see In old marine paint--
, lngs, and her spars and rigging, also,
. had a very antique look. She resembfetl
a .ChineBe Junk more than anuthitM
but thore were 1 differences'; she)' wis
painted black,-'which .-no Chinese Junk
ever was, that I heard of; and Her sails
were of canvas, much torn and defaced.
. -r fiL
Besides, what should a Chinese Junk be
doing here?
"There's a. reef out thereabouts," re
marked the colonel, r "If she Isn't care
ful, she'll find it out!"
"She appears 'to be sailing without
any wind," said I. "She's well manned
I should think there might be fifty or
sixty men on board. And they're
Working as If their lives depended on
It. Hut either they're very awkward,
or that fellow on the poop, with the
red cap on or Is It a red feather In his
hat? diesn't know what he's about.
He can't Intend to come arthore here;
and yet that's Just what he seems to be
doing."
"He's a duffer; he might be a French
man, by the way he behaves," said the
colonel, resuming the glass. -"They're
an outlandish-looking gang, sure
enough, those chaps are; look as If
they might be the remains of some of
DuCasse's pirates, kept alive for their
sins," he added with a. chuckle. "Hec
ollect I came across some legend to
that effect. In a manuscript chronicle in
my collection, the other day. I'll look It
up. liy Jove, thut red-feathered fellow
is bound to the deuce, sure enough!
And how he manages to move In the
dead calm, at that rate, is beyond me.
Ho must be the Flying Dutchman!
He'll be high and dry on the reef In
ten minutes, whoever he Is!"
"He's caught In some current, I sup
pose," said I.
. "Confound this light!" growled the
colonel; "It's falling us Just when we
want It." . .
In fact, the sun was setting; nnd, ns
our outlook was toward the southeast,
the shadow of the gigantic Hlue Peak
was thrown upon that part of the oiling
where the ship was. She was merged
In it, and It was no longer possible to
distinguish what was going forward
on her decks. It seemed that the
sheets were hauled nf t, as if to take ad
vantage of a breeze Imperceptible to
us; but the effect was to head the ves
sel directly toward the reef, from
which she now seemed to be but a few
hundred yards distant. On she came,
the water rippling from her bluff bows,
and rising and sinking slowly on the
long swell. She was moving obliquely
relative to us, her port side being half
turned to us. Now a long line of white
surf broke almost under her nose.
"L?y Jove, there she goes!" cried the
colonel, Jumping to his feet excitedly.
"He's done it!"
As he spoke her forward part was
uplifted by a roller and came down
heavily on the reef. The shock caused
her main topmast to break short off at
the cap, and It hung down amidst a
tangle of cordage. Meanwhile, uidess
my eyes deceived me, a Hag was run up
to her mlzzen: but it was too dusky to
distinguish what device It bore.
Tropical twilights are short; and al
most at the moment the ship struck the
air seemed to become perceptibly
darker. Probably a cloud had passed
across the west. On the horizon to the
southeast, however, a mass of cloudy
vapor was beautifully lighted up by
the reflections of the sunset splendor
nnd colored with tints of exquisite del
Icacy.. It moulded Itself Into various
similitudes of form, and finally took
Grid the Colonel.
that of nn antique vessel very much re
sembllng the one on the reef a gl
gantlc ghost of a ship, which glowed
with phantom fire through its port
holes, and finally vanished In a pillar of
gray, diaphanous smoke.
The practical and energetic colonel
doubtless did not witness this pictur
esque ornament of the scene. His mind
was full of the actual situation down
there on the reef; and though he had
so vigorously denounced the stupidity
of the "red-feathered chap," and even
gone so far as to accuse him of French-
Iness, he now began to consider plans
for succor.
Why don't he show nny lights,
though?" he muttered. "Has he the
Idea that he has come as'iore on an un
inhabited Island?"
If he has been cruising about since
1094. possibly he has run out of his
stock of rockets and candles'.'" I sug
gested. -"Do you see any signs of his putting
off a boat?" continued the warrior.
"He's got boats, for I noticed a couple
of them before the light failed. Why,
what the deuce ails him? Anybody
would think that every man-jack of
'em had been struck dead by the same
blow that. stove In her bottom."
Indeed, there was not a sjgn of life
on board the questionable stranger; she
lay dark and inert, ns If he were the
wreck of generations ago. Not so
much as the flash of a lantern or the re
port of a gun came from her. And yet,
a minute ago, her decks .had been
a-swarm with life.
"What do you make of dt eh?"
demanded the colonel, chafing under
his perplexity.
"The case strikes me as very simple,"
I replied. "She Is, as you say, a sort
of Flying Dutchman affair. She has
been doomed for a certain number of
years or centuries to sail the seaa that
witnessed her crimes; and tonight her
seasoa of earthly purgatory has ex
pired. Hes crew, who of course were
simply dead bodies animated by de
mons, having navigated her to the
point she started from, have now taken
flight to their own abode "
Here the colonel interrupted me with
an indignant snort.
"Jesting is all very well," quoth he;
"but, what's 'tp: be done about those
poor devtls dnfivtvon the reef? It may
come on a storm before morning, and
every mother's son' of 'em be drowned
before our eyes. I'll tell you what it
ls;'lf they haven't sent on shore to com
municate with us by the time we're
through with our dinner, I shall take a
boat and go out and see what's up, In
person. That's what I shall do!' Would
you care to accompany me?" "'
"Nothing would please me better, I
have always wanted to 'board a phan
tom ship, colonel, and there is no man
whom I would prefer to yourself for
my companion In such an adventure."
The - colonel growled, called ,i for
Charles, ordered Mm to have dinner as
ioon as possible, and gave him further
'instructions relative to our proposed
expedition. ...
Fortunately .for our purpose, the
.night turned out perfectly fine and etui,
and there was a rnoon, which rose Just
about the .time we were ready to em
bark on our trip between 8 and 9 .
o'clock. - We had driven down from
the colonel's house, some two or three
miles, over a rough road. In a single-
seated buggy; on nrrlvlng at the beach,
we found the faithful Charles await
ing us. ' 1
'Has the fellow made any signs of
life yet?" demanded the colonel, as his,
servent helped him to alight.
"No, Massa Cun'l, sah, Charles re
plied. "Dey's like ns If (ley wus gone
to sleep, sah. De boys here, dey don'
Hke it, sah; say it alh't right, an' I was
'bilged for to promise 'em extra pay to
take us out, sah." ' .
"Ah, the rascals! Let them alone not
to lose a chance of turning apenny!
So, the crew out yonder's asleep, are
they? Well, we'll wake 'em before long.
Push off, give wly, there, and be
lively!"
The rowers there were four of them
bent to their oars, and we swept out
Into the still lagoon, the rising moon
sending her level rays into our faces
from the left, and the end of the
colonel's big cigar glowing beneath
Ills grlin mustache. 'Owing to the po
sition of the moon, lUwas difficult to
discern anything of ' the ship, which
lay upwards of two miles out; she was
a shadow, and little more. As we ad
vanced, a silence fell upon us; nothing
wus heard but the regular breathing
of the men, the clip of the oars as they
took the water, and the creak of the
ruwlocks. After we had proceeded for
about 'twenty minutes, another sound
became audible the geirtle breaking
of the swell upon the reef. We were
now scare a mile away from it, and
the ship was silhouetted ngalnst the
whltlsh glisten of the sea. beyond her.
But no noise, no movement, no light
announced that there were living be-
lngs on board. It was certainly mys
terious. I glanced at the colonel, who
sat with the tiller ropes grasped in
his hands steering straight for the ship.
His bushy eyebrows were drawn to
gether, his square Jaws were set, and
he looked as If he were leading a for
lorn hope right up to the enemy's
guns.
"Well, what do you think of her?"
said I.
"I shall 'hold her commander to an
account for his conduct," replied the
veteran. "The. ocean Is not my ele
ment; but I know what proper be
havior is, afloat or ashore."
"It is my opinion," I pursued, '"that
he means to lure us on board and then
cut our throats, us a final act of his
two centuries of piracy."
"An officer of her majesty's service
Is not lured Into umbuscailes by coast
ing tramps, sir even if he be on the
retired list!" returned the colonel, with
sternness. "Hest assured; I shall know
how to make myself respected."
"Very respectable men have been
murdered before now, especially by
tramps," said I. "Howver, I will bring
the Star-Spamgled Banner to your -assistance
if there Is any trouble; and
meanwhile we will hope for the best."

"On one occasion," says Anthony
Trollope, In his auUblography, "it was
my duty to put a private letter, contain
ing bank notes, on Colonel Maberly's
table. The letter was seen by the col
onel, but before It could be dealt with,
he was called from the room. On his
return It was gone. In the meantime,
I had returned to my room In the per
formance of some duty. When the let
ter was missed, I was sent for, and
there I found, the colonel ill if i -Ji moved
about this letter, and a certain chief
clerk, who, with a long face, was mak
ing suggestions as to the probable fate
of the money.
"The letter has been taken," said the
colonel, turning to me angrily, "and,
confound you, there has been nobody
in the room but you and I!" As he
spoke ho thundered his fist down upon
the table, "Then," paid ,1, "by Jove,
you have taken 'It!" and1 1 also thun
dered my fist down but accidentally
not upon the table. " There was there
standing a moving desk" at, which, 1
presume, it was the colonel's habit to
write, and on this movable desk was r.
large bottle full or Ink. My fist un
fortunately came clown oii the desk, and
the ink at once flew up, covering the
colonel's face and shirt front.
Then It was a sight to see that senioi
clerk as he seized, a quire of blotting
papur, and rushed to the aid' of his su
perior olllcer, striving to wlpe'.up the
Ink; and a sight to see the colonel in his
agony hit straight out through the
blotting paper at the senior clerk's un
offending stomach. At that moment
there came In the colonel's private
secretary with the letterand the money,
and I was desired to go back to my
room!
