CHAPTER IV.
When Seawaif left the presence of fair
Kate Cringle, be "met her father, who ao-
icompanied him down to his boat, in vain
trying to find out what Kate wanted him
for.
! The young captain Sprung into his boat
!amid the murmured good wishes of hun-
' dreds of citizens who had eathered thero
' to soe the priVatcer go to sea, and in a
fow moments he was on board of his ves-
sel.
With a clear, bugle-like voice, whioh
needed no trumpot; tho young comman
der shouted :
"Man the capstan bars, lads, and run
the anchor up with a will. Stand by the
ijib and flying-jib halliards lay tho head
i yards aback !''
His orders were obeyed readily; and
!n a few U10ments. tho second officer, who
tsto0(1 on tho foreeaatle lookinir over the
bows, oried
0 ....
"She's broken ground, sir V
'Very well, sir run up the jib and
flying-jib, and haul the sheets to starboard
man the top-gallant and top-sail sheets
and halliards 1 Round with the capstan,
men, and ruu the anchor up to the bows!"
A moment later, and the head-sails up,
the veering bow of the schooner proved
her to be all aweigb, and then eame the
order :
"Sheet home and hoist away to top-sail
and top-gallant sails !"
This was dojie; and as the fore-and-aft
sails, already up, filled, the schooner be
gan to gather headway. Then, as she
fell off before the wind, which was fair
out of the harbor, her square sails filled,
and she shot ahead with increased veloci
ty. The crowd on shore looking with
delight upon the splendid vessel, and
gladdened, too, at the thought of her er
rand rent the air with cheers; while Mr.
Cringle, taking upon himself tho part of
gunner, fired an impromptu salute from a
single gun, which was kept upon the
wharf to be used as a warning-Hgnal if
the British approached.
The "Tyrannicide" replied to this by a
salute of seventeen guns her whole com
pliment. "That's what I call a darned waste o'
powder I" said a pineh-faced, dricd-up
anatomy of a man, whoso thread-bare
clothes, little eyes, and long, greedy tal
ons of fingers, spoke the miser out and
out.
"It isn't your powder, Moses Gelson,"
said Mr. Cringle, rather sharply. "If it
was, it wouldn't be likely to be in a vossel
destined to fight for liberty?"
"Tush tush 1 What is this 'liberty'
to us ? tho war is ruining trade, and
we'll all be as poor as rats !" said the mi
ser pettishly.
"It is a pity that such mean curses as
you iceren't poor ; your too stingy to live!
If you only had your duo, you'd get a
good ducking in a horse-pond !" oried out
Mr. Cringle, so angrily and so loudly,
that his words were heard by the crowd,
and probably found echo in their hearts;
for they instantly tJioutcd :
:Let's duck the old miser to tho goose
pond with the. old tory !"
And seizing the terrified wretch, they
dragged him roughly toward a pond of
muddy watar near the residence of tho
merchant, and soon would have put their
intention into execution, had not Kate
Criugle, who saw their aotious, stepped
out upon the balcony, and cried out, in a
clear musical voice, which reached every
ear :
"Shame men shame! to treat an old
man so. Io is- weak and helpless; let
him go, and save 3'our strength for a no
bler purpose !"
Her timely oppoal and her beauty
for in her excitement she really looked
handsomo had the desired effect'; and
the old miser was roleasod much to 'his
own gratification, and rather to tho dis
gust and anger of her father, who would
have been really glad to have seen old
Gelson get a lesson for he hated him
heartily, not only for his lack of patriot
ism, but for his miserly meanness.
"I'll remember her I'll remember that
girl, bless her 1" muttered the old miser,
away from the crowd as
fast as he could uot stopping until he
reached bis own residence, which was al
so a kind of a storehouse, iu which a vast
variety of all kinds of truck and trash
were stowed old junk, second hand au-
jchors, sails, cordage, fishing tackle, nets,
harpoons, and a thousand other things.
CHAPTER V.
Never was a craft in better battle trim
on deck, "below, or aloft, than tho Priva
teer, after Seawaif had got her rigging
stretched. Conscious that ho was ready
to meet any foe of his tonnage ami weight
of metal, he boldly headed off from tho
i coast for the track of inwajd-bound ves
sels from England.
Ono morning soon after, he was at
breakfast iti his cabin, with the firnt offi
cer and the doctor young ,Morley being
in charge on deck
Seawaif and his companions held their
breath, and listened for tho answer.
"I see three sail, sir, dead ahead; they
seem square-rigged, and coaiiug dowu
right before tho wind !" was tho reply.
"Englishmen, and making for the coast,
I'll wager my first prize-money !" said
tho captain, as he hurried on deck.
"Jobn-Bull-Men's, be gar I shall get
my instruments ready for amputat!'.' cried
the delighted Frenchman.
"So will I !" said Mr..DooliVtle, as be
buckled on his sharp, but short cutlass,
and followed his commander on deck.
Tho breeze was fresht and tho. schoon
er, with only herlower sails, and torjaails
set, was going off to the eastward' a
taut bow-line, her top-gallant and royal
yards pointed to the -wind, and her lar
board taoks aboard. There was quite a
heavy sea rolling; and as.sho pitched in
to and through tl she threw the snowy
foam over her prow almost as high as
her fore-top.
"Seoall clear for action, fore and aft
reeve preventer stays and braces have
the spare .spars, cleared away ! Gunners,
look to your children; they may have
play soon. Hoarders and pikemen, see
that your tools are in their placeB'!-' eried
the captain cheerfully, as he Came on
deck; and then he seized a spy-glass, and
scanned the vessels in sight.
"What do you make out, sir, if you
please T'' asked Mr. Doblittle, whose
hopes for work and prize-money were
now on tho rise.
"I see six vessels; but they arc yet too
far off to. make out whether they are arm-,
ed or not was tho reply.
"shall tho gunner open the magazine,
sir!"
"Yes, after all tho galley-fires are put
out!"
The men wont to their work, and their
respective stations quietly, but with a
cheerful look, which betokened a perfect
confidence in their vessel, and especially
in thoir officers.
An hour passed, and tho vessels were
now hull-up ahead, yet Captain Seawaif
gavo no orders either to alter tho course
or shorten sail.
"What about our colors, sir!" asked
the lieutenant.
"You can run 'em up. in rolls to their
piaces, ready to pull out when I order it,
Mr. Doolittle," said the captain still keep
ingvhia glass directed toward tho ap
proaching ships.
The enemy were now rising fast, not
more than four or five miles off; but the
merchantmen, obeyipg signals from the
sloop of-war, which had evidently discov-.
ered the nationality and character of the
schooner, by her rig, hauled on a wind
and shortened sail, while the man-of-war
held her course under a cloud of canvas.
"Take your stations for working ship!"
cried Seawaif. The men bounded to the
sheets and braces. "Hard up the helm
ease off the sheets, and round in the
weather-braces ?" cried tho captain.
"Taruol thunder! you're not goin' to
run from one sloop-o'-war, are you, sir ?"
asked the lieutenant, in agonized wonder.
"Get out and rig two spars, with iron
enough on them to sink them for drags;
drop one over each quarter, and ask no
impertinent questions, Mr. Doolittle,"said
the captain, quietly.
"I beg your pardon, sir, a bundrod
times I thought you was a goin' to run!"
said the now delighted officer, as bo has
tened to obey the order.
"Double-shot with grapo and canister
gunners to your stations I" cried the
oaptuin, now determinedly. "Men, make
no noise when I announce it, but within
an hour 'that sloop-of-war shall strike her
flag, "or we'll go down with ours flying !
When sho is taken, themcrchantmen will
be easy prizes."
Had they not been captioned, the men
would jave cheered so loudly as to have
been heard on bonrd of tho sloop-of-war.
After tho drags wore rigged and low
orod over the sido, held by stout hawsera,
and not seen because sunk beneath the
water, tho schooner did not go -more 'than
three knots, although-under a full spread
of oanvas sho 'seemed to bo running a-
way frolm her antagonist, which now'could
be seen coming up hand over hand, her
decks crowded with men, and her ports
showing a battery of twenty-four guns.
On she came, the red cross of St.Georgo
floating from her peak, until she was with
in nearly a mile of the schooner, when she
fired a shot from one of her bow guns.
"Show them our colors and name !"
cried the young captain, while his pale
face flushed with a smile of terrible joy;
Jt was done in an instant; but tho ves
sclVhcad was not changed, nor a sail
touched.
Rapidly tho Englishman closed up,
heading a'littlo to leeward, so as to range
under her larboard bcani. '
"Crouch well behind tho bulwarks,
men; stand by your larboard guns, but
do not touch a mutoh until the order comes
from my lips; depress your guns, so as
to take her betweeu wind and water!
Sail-trimmers, stand to your sheets and
braces, and be ready for orders."
These orders given, Captain Seawaif
took his positiou on tho larboard side of
tho quartor-deok, and with ill-conoealed
delight saw the Euglisnuian range along
until ho was almost abeam.
"Haul down your colors, or I'll sjnk
you 1 Strike, you Yankee rebel, strike.'"
shouted the Engljsji captain, who stood,
on the,poop of his vessel in full umforjn,
sto3dying himself by holdingi onJto the'
inlzzen rigging. ' '
"I'm just going to strike not my col-'
ors, but you!" cried Seawaif, sarcaaticul-;
ly, in-tantly giving the order to pour in
his whole broadside.
It was dono with terrible effect, for the
British bad not anticipated, resistance
from a rebel whom they puppos'ed to be
using his best efforts to escape, and were
huddled along the deck on the aide next
tho schooner, and were cut down in fear-
ful swaths. And a3 the sails were little deep sparkling eyes, aud features full of
injured, tho sloop-of-war shot ahead-, so energy and resolution. nis face and

He. then hauled on a wind, determined
to pepper; until she should ''strike," and
not wishing to lose any men at close quar
ters, if he could help it. But he had no
occasion to use his gnns any more; for,
suddenly, with a shock, which shook the.
sea and the air like an earthquake, the "Aud why shouldn't I!" said the gro-ill-fatcd
craft was seen to flv in frogmcnts cer: looking ud with his honest eves widn
amid a cloud of smoke, into the air.
-
Whether by accident or design, no one
could tell, but, in somo way, the powder,
in her magazine had been ignited, and
she was blown to atoms.
Prompted by humanity, Captain Sea-
wait instantly ordered the helm up, and
steered for the spot where the sloop-of-
war had been, in hopes to save some sur
viving persons of her crew.
But not a living soul could be seen.
A few blackened spars and timbers only
met the eye.
"Mon Dieu ! Mon Dieu ! zU is too bad!
Not one man to amputat not one ball
for extract I" said the. doctor, with a sigh
and a piteous grimace, as he looked in
the water.
"You may have better luck: another
time, doctor," said Seawaif, as he gave
orders to trim sails and haul on a wind
again: for the transports having seen the
fate of their protector were now crow
ding sail, and trj-ing, like a flock of
frightened sheep, to make their escape
from an opponent which bad done such
fearful damage in so short a time. But
tho schooner had no lumbering cargo, and
was ready for ccjnbat or a race, as
sion require'd.

"Why you treat the beggars about here
with as much consideration when they
come with their pennies, as if they bought

open and clear.
"Oh, I don't know;
it's queer, that's
all; you're the only man that dees it I
reckon, in these pafts."
"Well, I'll tell you," said Wyman, de-
libcratcly unwinding tho spool of cord
t and twisting the string upon a package
be held in his hand: "the fact is, if I
wasn't, naturally fender towards the chil
dren, I should treat them, as I do from
motives of policy. You sec,- Fur but a
young man, and these 'brats,' as you call
them, are growing up fast. Many of
them, of little worth as they seem now,
will become men of character and men of
business. Now, I want to retain their
custom," ho said, laughingly; "their pen
nies, in tho course of a few years, will
turn into pounds; tbeir three cent's worth
of sugar will change into orders by tho
barrel. I shall have many a good custo
mer among the 'brats,' besides, I've al
ways found that politeness paya well.-"
"Something in that," ejaculated tho
coarse man, thrusting his hand into hia
pockets, "something in that; but I never
1 looked at it in that light before."
"The boy who bought the sugar," con-
occa-'tiHued the grocer, f'is of no ordinary mind
if I am not mistaken. If his father was
dead, I would take bim with me into flio
store and make a man of him though I
reckon nature will do better for him than
I could; and the far-seeing grocer smil
ingly handed a cents worth of pins to &
little timid child, whose top curl jtist
reached, the counter.
. Time verified the prediction of Wymai
the grocer.
Thero wasn't a shop in the place where
so much small change was spent as in his;
for the children loved to go where they
wero not afraid of rough actions or rudtf
speeches. They felt themselves bafe
while making their little purchase?; tbey
saw that their rights wero respected; and
it is well known that on such trifling
sales much profit accrues in the aggre
gate. Time passed, and Wyman, tho
grocer, was the most popular man in town.
His pleasant face at forty years was
greeted everywhere. Young men and
maidens always patronizod Wyman. It
was strange to see the transformation that
took place, so gradually the little ju
veniles bhot up into awkward youths's,
