A horiid yell, rising appirenily from the
very depth beneath the ship, stopped him
n the middle of hi speech. A boat glided
nit of the smoke, and shooting under our
ows,ailozn dirk f irms were seen spring
iiig from il to the sidu of the ship. IJui
in r precautions had been wisely tiken, A;
viere completely sueeesjf'il. No eooner did
they touch the slippery vessel than most ol
them, with the most horrid blasphemies, fell
into the sea, snapping t'eir pistols at us
even after they were filled with water Ai
die same moment their host w h'ph had beer
completely riddled by our shot, filled and
sank to the bottom. Three only got upon
deck, and wtre immediately overpowered

cully dragged out cf the water, and i!i.pnsntl

He had succeeded in gelling one foot upon
deck, when a young seamen, named Ralph,
dew at him with the fierceness of a tiger,
They closed, and after balancing a moment
letwsen the deck and the water, the pirate
vho was muc'i the heavier man, fell back
ward overboaid, dragging his antagonist
villi him. They boih sunk, but soon rote
ig iin about fout rods from the ship, cling
ing closely together. 'Then commenced i
combat the most singular and appalling I
had ever witnessed. No one on boaid
seemed lo think of devising moans to assist
iur companion. No :ie darod ;o fiieupon
the pirate; for so closely were they coiled
together, so rapid wem their evolutions, and
jo dim the light shed by the moon, that it
was impossible lo hit one without endanger
og the life of the other At Ihe commence
uent of the struggle, their efforts seemed to
dined solely at drowning each other. 'They
vlurled ovtr on ihe top uf the water, dash
nig it about like wounded sharks. Both
hen sunk and for a while lost to our sight
Presently they rose again, and exchanged
hick and heavy blows, and closing with
cdoubled fury sunk again. Neglecting thf
use of '.heir weapons, which would have
nil a speedily end to the fray, ihey fought
nore like savage beasts of prey, bent on
hrytiling each other, than like human be
ings.
Shall we stain! and see our man murder
ed! at length exclaimed a voice from among
he ciew. It opeiated like magic lo break
he spell that had fallen upon us all.
Clear away the boat there!' shouted the
apiain, and six men sprang to execute thf
irder. Just then, after an effort of unusual
derccr.es boll) of the combatants sunk.
They remained out of 6ight so long, thai
he men who were lulling down the boat
suspended their operation, and we all stood
rc itliless with unrcruirity and anxiety a-
vailing their re-appearance. At length a-
lout thirty yatds off the water parted, but
mly one man was seen lo rise.
Is it you, Kalph?' cried the eaplain, in a
suppressed voicfl
'Here, is some of him, at least, on my
nifcbl.ide,' responded llie freebooter with
the accent and laiih of a fiend; and springs
ug nearly lo his whole height out of the
vater he threw the weapon with greul force
owards us. Another hollow laugh rung
iver ihe waters, and, on looking round,
vide circles of ripples were seen moving in
he moonlight sea, as if some heavy body
id just sunk into it.
Vengeance was the tardy thought thai
iow lushed on every heart. Some in blind-
J fury of the moment, actually discharged
heir pieces into the cantre of those waving
lies, wiihoul slaying to relied upon this

ike panthers robbed of their piey, stood
prepared to fire the momein he should liow

essly over his head; and had il bten pnssi-
tile to penetrate the secrets of the gieai
leep, he in ght have been seen reposing
peacefully on its sandy bottom by the side
of his late antagonist. A sullen silence
pervaded the ship. 'The men looked
gloomy at each other, and with lowering
brows on llmir helpless prisoners, as if a
sufficient atonement had not been for the
life of iht-ir comrade.
To one skilful in the language of the hu

of crime that wouhl have sunk them to a

AMUSING ANECDOTE.
The'ZoHUDt'ile Journal tells a good an
ecdote of a recent scene in Frankfort. It
ays, eta ball in Iranklnrl the other even
ing a young gentleman, il is said, look art
undue liberty w ith a preliy lady. The la-
ny made her complaint to the gentleman
with whom she was dancing. Thereupon
he last named gentleman knocked the fust
named gentleman down in the ballroom
The fight extended until, as we are told, 15
ir twenty perions were engaged in it. Fish
pistols, and knives of all sort) w ere Astir,
ished and some blond was spill, thoi g'l
nobody was killed. Two of the persons,
who look part in the affair, have si ice arri
ved here with the intention of settling their
quanel on the Indiana shore.
t is said that ar. English officer, sojourn
'ng for a short lime at Frankfort, was re-
narking on the day bt fore li e affray, that
tie had heard much of Kentucky 'rows.'and
that il was his most anxious desire to see
one. When ihe ball-room fight got well
under way, a gentleman, who had heard the
expreissd wish of ihe officer, ran to his
mom and told him w hat was going on.
