Ills portrait in time of action is described Its
that of a complete fury, with three brace of
distols in holsters, flung over his shoulders like
bandoliers. and lighted matches under his hat,
sticking out over each of his ears. That
Blackbeard's pretentious to authority over his
companions were grounded on his being." in
darkness proudly eminent," may be con
ceived from the character of his jokes. Hav
ing often exhibited himself before them as a
demon, he determined to show them a hell of
his own creation. For this purpose, he col
lected a quantity of sulphur and combustible
materials between Bo; decks of his vessel,
when, kindling n flame and shutting, down
the hatches upon his crew, he involved him
self and them literally In tire and brimstone.
With oaths and frantic gestures, lie then acted
the part of the devil, as little affected by 'the
smoke as if he had been born in the infernal
regions, until his companions, nearly suffo
cated and !hinting, compelled him to release
them. its convivial humor was equally ec
centric and mischievous. (Mee, while
ex
cited with liquor and sitting in his cabin. , he
took a pistol in each hand, then cocking them
under the table, blew out the candles, and.
crossing his hands, fired on each side of his
companions ; one of whom received a shot

The English Government having determined
to clear the seas of the ruffians in the Bahama
waters. some ships of 55 nr vr•ere sent itgai n,t
them in the early part of the last century.
Blurt:beard at that time was lurking in a small
vessel in the creeks and shallows of an inl.l
near ('ape Hatteras, in North Carolina ;
the Chief Magistrate or that. province having
long connived at his robberies, the sufferers
gave information to the Governor of Virginia,
,and the naval force ut that station was directed
to assist in extermiicatingtheadrates. The in
trepidity displayed in this service by May•
nard was at least equal to that of the rover, and
in n better cause, deserves a circumstantial re
lation. From the nature of Blackbrard•s po
sition in a sloop of little draught of water, and
on a coast abounding with creeks and remark•
able for the number and intricacy of its shoals,
with which he had made himself intimately
acquainted, it was deemed .impossible to ap
proach hint in vessels of any force. Two
hired sloops were therefore manned front the
Pearl and Lime frigates in the Chesapeake,
and put under the gallant officer before named.
On Nov. 17, 1718, this force sailed frOm the
James River, anti, on the evening of the 21st,
came to an inlet in North Carolina, where
Blackbeard was discovered at a distance, ly
ing in wait for his prey. The sodden appear

mounting several gnus, and being manned
with-25 of his most desperate Mllowers, he
determined to make a resolute defense, and
having prepared his ship over night for action,
sat down to his bottle to drown dull cure.
The navigation of the inlet was so difficult
that Maynard's sloops grounded again and
again in their approach ; and the pirate, with
his experience of the soundings, possessed
considerable advantage in inatueuvering which

the lieutenant courageously persevered. Ob

ordered all her ballast to he thrown out, and
directing his men to conceal then, Ives 'be

Steered directly on board his antagonist, who
continued inextricably fixed on the shoal.
This desperate wretch. previously aware of his
danger. and'determining never to expiate his
crimes in the hands of justice, had posted one
of his men With a lighted motel over his pow

extremity. In this design,. however. he was
disappointed by his own ardor and want of
circumspection ; for, as Maynard approached,

by throwing upon his antagonist a number of

produced only a thick smoke, and judging
that from their destructive agency the decks

vanced upon the lieutenant, who was the only
person then in view. But the men instantly
springing up to the relief or their commander,
who was now furiously beset and in imminent
danger of his life, a violent contest ensued.

lOW SMITH ASKED THE oLn
Smith had just asked Mr. Thompson's
daughter if she would give Min a lift out of
bachelordom, and she hail said "Yes." It
therefore became. absolutely necessary to get
the old gentleman's permissiini: so, as Smith
said, the arrangement might be made to hop
the conjugal twig.
Smith said he would rather pop the inter
rogatories to all of Old Thompion's daugh
ters and his sisters, and his lady cousins, and
his aunt Hannah in the country, and the
whole of his female relations, tlain ask old
Thompson. But it hail to be done, and 60 he
sat down and studied on a speech which he
was to disgorge to old Thompson the very
first time he got a shy at him. So Mr. Smith
dropped In on him on Sunday evening, when
all the family,had meandered around to meet
ing, and found him doing a sum in beer men
sure.
"How are you, Smith I" said old Thomp
son, as the former walked in white as a piece

"Mr. Thompson—sir : Perhaps it may not

"Is that so, and keeping it a secret all the
time while 'I thought you were tendln' store ?
Well by George, you arc one of them, now

Smith had begun to think it all over again
to get the run of it.
"Mr. Thompson—sir, perhaps it may not be
unknown to you that for the extended period
of live years, I have been busily engaged in a
commercial enterprise, with the determination
to secure a sufficient maintenance—"
"Sit down, Smith and help yourself to beer.
Don't stand there holdin' your hat, like
blind beggar with paralysis: I have .never
seen you behave yourself so queer in all my
born days."
Smith had been knocked out again, and so
he had to wander back again and take a fresh
start.

"A which ance Y" asked old Thompson,
but Smith held on to the last words as if it
was his only chance and went on :
"In the hope that some day I might enter
wedlock, and bestow my earthly possessions
upon one whom I could call my owu. I have
been a lonely man, sir, and have felt that It Is
not good fur man to be alone, therefore I
would—"
"Neither is It, Smith ; I'm glad you drop
ped in. How's the old man ?"
"Mr. Thompson, sir Y" said Smith in de
spairing confusion raising his voice to a yell.
"It may not be unknown to you that during
an extended period of a lonely man, I have
been engaged to enter wedlock and bestow
all my enterprise upon one whom 1 could de
termine to be good for certain possessions--
no 1 mean—that is—that—Mr. Thompson,
sir It may not be unknown—"
"And then again, it may. Look here,
Smith, you'd better lay down and take some
thing warns, you ain't well."
Smith, sweating like a 'four-year old colt,
went in again.
"Mr. Thompson, sir : It may not be, lonely
to you to prosecute ins whom you friend for

"Oh, Smith, you talk like a fool. I never
saw a more first class idiot in the course of
my whole life. WhUt'b the matter with you
anyhow ?"
" Mr. Thompson, sir:" said Smith, in an
agony of bewilderment, "it may not be
known that.you prosecuted a lonely man who
is nut good for a commercial period of five
years but"—
"See here, Mr. Smith, you're drunk and if

with despair, " It may not ho unknown to

"Thu deuce he Isn't. Now you just get up

With that old Thompson took Smith and•

time to shut the front door, Smith collected

around on the pavement, arranged himself In
a vertical position and yelled out
