- )lr.,,likizzard, of the firm of David and
Blizzard, 7'2 Limell,ll4l , Street, Liverpool,
continued:— -
"Captain Ititsom we 55;knt t make this
first trip of the Shooting Star an auspicious
trip; we want to have our vessel tho first
into Quebec this year. We save the dues;
for they alwnys return the dues to the first
vessel that arrives from England but it is
not so much for the sake of the value of the
dues as t h e, malt of the thing. Our trade
with Canada is large, and we want to get
our name up. We do not, of uoUrse, Want
you to run Imny danger. No, that is by no

Blizzard said all this leaning against
his railed desk and nestled in among the
files of invoices and Lill, of lading. Ilit
was a hearty, fresh-colored, portly Marl,
very neat in his dress, and remarkable fur a
white waiscoat, that seemed as hard and
stainless 115 erl/111101. lie played with his
watch-chain its he spoke, and i ty e d the (',p
lain, the purser, and the first mate, who sat
iii 1111 uncomfortable Half-circle. With his
well polished bouts planted on the 1111111tiva
-I,lc roc l: of a large capital, Mr. Blizzard
seemed to boldly seaward metaphori
cally, and consider wrecks and such casual
tie, a , mere \Yell -devised (lotions.
with a broad acreage of chest, Hear
gray e 3 es, and large, red hands.--a t,turdy,
honest, self-reliant, wan, without a fear in
the world. The mate, Mr. Cardew, by no
means so pleasant to look on, being a little,
spare, thin-legged, cadaverous person, with
yelh , wish oyes, sat in sullen subser‘dency tin
the very edge of his chair just behind the
captain. The purser, a brisk, cheery, stout
young fellow, sat deprecatingly (as if he
thought he ought, t' stand) a trifle farther
back still.
" Right it is, Mister Blizzard, - said the
captain, buttoning his pilot-coat across his
chest as if preparing for an immediate gale,
and about to order everything to be but
toned down. "Eight it is, and a better
vessel than the Shooting Star I don't hope
to see. She's sound, Mr. Blizzard, 1 do
believe, from main truck to keel,—sound, if
1 may use the o)Cpression, as a pious nan's
conscience. The only thing that waxes me,
howsemever, is that, having boon sent for ,
to my native place, down Allonby way,
on very sad business" (hero the captain held
up sorrowfully an enormous hat covered
with black crepe,) " I couldn't see to the
I landing of this ere vessel as 1 generally
likes to do with vessels 1 am eal t ied upon
.to command."
taro Ritson," said Mr. Blizzard, pouring
out three glasses of sherry all in is row
from a decanter on au inky mantel-piece near
him. " I have been away at Manchester,
and my partner, Mr. David, has been very
ill with a touch of pleurisy, but our first
mate here, Mr. Cardow, has semi to it all."
The mate nodded assent.
" And the cargo is—? "
"Agricultural implements, machinery,
and cloth goods."
Mr. Blizzard referred to a ledger for this
information, as lie spoke, as if ho scarcely
know, in his multiplicity of business, wheth
er the Shooting Star might not be laden
with frankincense, pearls, golddust, and
poll-parrots,—but he would see.
Having ascertained the fact, 1111.. Blizzard
carefully replaced the ledger, and, turning
his backkm his company, poked the fire,
and con Med a large sheet almanac over
the mantle-piece, as a sign the interview
was over.
" We sail to-morrow morning, Sunday,"
said Captain Ritson, who was a Wesleyan,
to the parser, as they loft the office of Mum's.

uO, you'll do, younT man, I can see ;
don't you be afraid. Won't be, Mr. Car
dew? Clear, straightforward eyes, and all
aboveboard."
Mr. Cardow thought ho would do, but ho
did not look on the purser at all. His mind
was running on very different things.
Joe," said the purser's wife, when Pen
nant returned to his little cottage at I3irken
head, and announced his new appointment,
" I don't know how it is, but I've got a
strong presentiment, and! wish you wouldn't
go in this ship. I never did like ships with
those sort of names. The best run you ever
had was in the .1 ano Parker, and the worst
one in the Morning Stnr. Stick to the
plain names. Ile.sides, it's too early in the
season. Now, do oblige me, ,Joe, and give it
up. Stay for a fortniv,ht later ; get an Aus
tralian ship. It's too early for Canada. It
is indeed. Mrs. Thompson says so."
Jenny, my love, you're a silly little

Come, pack up my kit, for I going, that
is the long and short of it. Nonsense about
sentiments. And whd is Mrs. Thompson,
should like to know ? Who wants her

her husband away with her nagging, and
temper, and botheration Tell her to mind
her own business. Pretty thing, indeed !
Come. dear, no nonsense; pack up my kit."
hint, loe dear, there was your photo
graph b4ll 441' the nail 4411 Tuesday, that
night 1 saw a shooting star fall, close to the
docks, and it wasn't sent for nothing, Don't
go, Joe; don't go."
" (io 1 must, .Jenny' dear, and go I shall,
so don't make it painful, there's a good
little woman. Come, I'll go up Nvith you
now , and kiss George and Lizzy. I won't
wake them; thou we'll go and look Out the

good heart ; you know I Shall soon be back.
I've got a mire oartain, and smart first mato."
-Why, Cartain Thoinpson, who ever
thougt to have found you here, and only
quartermaster '?” said the purser, as he stood
nt the gangway of the Shooting Star, watch
ing the rre-li provisions brought in. Well,
I bin sorry to seia you so reduced, sir, I em,
indeed. blow, was it?"
quartermaster drew him on one side
with a rueful look. Ile was a purple, jolly,
sottish-looking roan, with swollen features.
"It was the grog, Joe, as did it,—all the
i n fr r n a l ge , og, — lie ,said. "I lost my last
ship, the Red Star, and then everything
went wrong ; but I've struck oil' drinking
now, Joe; I N% asn't lit to have a ship, that's
about it,--lost myself, too, Joe and here
am with my hands in the tar-bucket aga n,
trying to do my dooty in that station of life,
the Catechism used to say."
“:1 tid lo,w (14, you lilac onr captain and
row, l'ennant said undeo his breat
-Captain's as good a man as ever trod in
shoe-'eather,--upripibt man, though he will
have the w,11% .10110, but the crow ain't 'ouch
het Zvi our-elvos. Pour of them first-class,
the rest loafers and skulkers, wanting, to
emigrate, picked up on the quays, half
thieves, half deserter., not worth their salt.
They 11 all run when they get to Quebec.—
Tlwn there's the first !mite, he's a nice nig
ger driver, he is, bound for a bad port, I
think. I would n't trust him with a ship,
that's all I c an say, unless it was a pirateship,
that he might get on with ; but he his smooth
enough before the captain --he takes care of
that, —cures him."
Just at that moment there- came a shrill
voice screaming curses from the shore.
'•Look alive you -kulkers, there," it cried
—it Wag , the mate's voice,—"or.d!Fl let you
know. We sha'n't be ready by Tuesday, if
you don't hurry. Nola drop of grog before
the work is done, mind that. I'll have no
infernal grumbling while I'm mate ;
and What are you doing there, quartermas
ter, idling ? Mr. Purser, see at once if the
stores are all in, and hand in the bills to me
to give to Captain Ritson."
The men, rigged, sullen fellows, worked
1 harder, but cursed in ar: underbreath.
moment the captain came on board, the
nude's Manner.entirely altered. He crouch
ed and whispered, and asked for orders, and
spoke to the mon with punctilious quietude.
Cardew had some strange hold over the
captain, its the purser soon discovered,—
some money matters,—some threat, which
he held over Ritson's head, about his fathers
farm in Cumberland,—some power that the
captain dreaded, though he tried to appear
cheerful, trusting, and indifferent. At first
tyrannical to the men, Cardew had now be
gun to conciliate them in every possible way
especially when captain Ritson was not on
deck.
The purser was in his cabin, the twentieth
day after the Shooting Star had started.—
llu head down at this accounts, and the
luminous green shade over the lamp throw
a golden light upon rows of figures and the
red lines that divided them. lie was work-
ing silently, honest, zealous fellow that ho
was, when a low tap came at the cabin-door.
He leaped off his sent and opened the door ;
it was old Thompson, the quartermaster,
who shut it Lifter him with a suspicious care.
"Well, Thompson," said the purser look
ing up with an overworked and troubled ex
pression, ' what is it ?'
The quartermaster sat down with a hand
on either knee. 'I tell you what it is, Mr.
Pennant, between you and me, there's mis
chief brewing.'
"Thompson you have been at the rum
again," said the amazed purser, in a re
proachful voice.
"No, Mr. Pennant, I hav n't ; no, I am
as sober as the day I was born. Never you
mind how I learned what I am going to tell
you. There was a time when no one dared
to accuse Jack Thompson of eaves dropping,
without gutting an answer straight betwen
the' oyes,' quidk too ; but'noW Prii'a poor'
rascal no one cares for; only fit to emend
old rope and patch sails, and I can stoop now
.to do things J. should-have boon nobtomil of
once, even if I had'done them, as I did this,
for good,"
There came at this moment a port rap at
the - door, and-Harrison, the ship's boy,thimst
in his
"Woll, what do you want?" said the pur
sar i in hia-sharp, honest-way.
"If you illease;' sir, there's an ieo-fog cam=

' , Did Captain Ritson himself givo the
ardor ?"
"No, sir; Mr. Cardew. Captain's been
up all night, and is gone to lie down."
"Tell Mr. Cardow, with my compliments,
that the captain told me yesterday never to
servo out rum without his special orders."
"I.es, sir." The boy left.
";slow,.Mr. Quartermaster, let us know
the ivorst. I think—l suspect—it something
about our first mate. This is going to be
an unluckey voyage, I can see. Let us hear
the worst quick, that wo may do something
to stop the leak."
The quartermaster, ft stolid man, of Dutch
temperament, and by no means to be hurried
proceeded as calmly as if ho were spinning a
yarn over the galley tiro. "What I heard
the first mate and the carpenter talk about
only two hours ago was this. The ice'-fag's
come on, and the men (t bad lot in any
weather, all but Davis and two or 'throe
more) are beginning to think, we're running
dangerously near the ice, and that we shall
get nipped• The mate when the captain is
away„ encourages them in this idea, and the
worst of them talk now of forcing the cap
tain to steer more southward, so as to keep
clean• of the ice-packs MT Labrador."
The purser started, and uttered en ex
clamation of surprise and indignation.
"Belay there, Mr. Pennant," said the
quartermaster, forcing his sou'is ester on his
head to express hatred for the mate ; 'that
was only the first entry in their log. Then
they went on to propose sinking the ship,
lashing down the captain and those who
would n't join them, destroying all evidence
and taking to the boats. as soon us there was
a sight of land."
"But what for ?"
"What for? Whv, for this. The first
mate, as ho lot out, hos had the lading of
the vessel. Well, what did he do, with the
help of some scoundrel friend of his, n ship
ping agent but remove two thirds of the
machinery from the cases, unknown to Mr.
Blizzard, and pile them up with old iron,
unknown to the captain ) who was awns• be
cause his father was dying. and now they
want to sink the vessel and then go home
and 9011 the plunder. That's about the size
of it."
"Conic this inoment and tell the captain
of this scoundi el," said the purser leaping
up and locking his desk resolutely.
" Now, avast heaving there, not just yet
Mr. Purser, by your leave: let the thing
ripen n little; let me pick up what 1 can in
the fo'ksal, they don't wind a paw old beast
like mu."
" - What's all this'?" cried a shrill, spiteful
voice, it: the door WIN thru , t violently open.
" Where is this purser fellow'! Who is it

"I tell you what it is, Pennant," he said
„ it' 1 was your captain, I'd inaroon you on
an iceberg before you were five hours older,

of pickled rope, what it was to di,obey our
superior ~tficer.
' thiod night, sir; tiiriiiitelied 'll,ll lice
long. .I.nd perhaps you will allow me to
look up my cabin? Thank you."
With this good-humored defiance the pur
ser ran, laughing and singing, up the cabin
stairs.
It was Sunday morning, and th Ace-fog ,
had lifted. The vessel had met with mere
pancake ice, loose sheets as thin us tinsel, but
nothing more ; the wind blew intensely cold
as from ice-fields of enormous size, but no
bergs had been seen, aml the captain, judg
ing from the ship's reckoning, hoped still to
make a swift and successful voyage, and to
be the first to reach Quebec that season.
The men were mustered for prayers in the
state cabin. It was a pleasant sight to see
them file in, two and two, so trim, with their
blue shirts turned back from their big brown
necks, their jaunty-knotted black sill: neck
erchiefs and their snowy-white trousers ;
the petty placers in their blue jackets, and
all so decorous and disciplined, as they took
their prescribed seats.
Pleasant, too, it was to se, the hardy cap
tain in that wild and remote sea so calmly
and gravely reading the chapter from the
Bible relating to Paul's voyage, with an un
conscious commanding-officer air. If the
ship-boy dared to cough that stern, grey eye
nailed him to his seat; if the boatswain shuf
fled his feet, there was a reproving pause be
tween the verses; if even the spray broke
over the hatchway, the captain was down
upon it.
The purser was the last to leave the cabin
when the service was over. As he collected
the. Bibles, the captain touched him on the
shoulder.
4 4 I want a word with you, Mr. Pennant,"
ho said, sitting sorrowfully down at the ta
blo with his hand on his telescope, and his
large prayer-book still open before him.
" You aro an honest, faithful fellow, and I
want to ask you a simple question. Have
you seen or heard anything lately that makes
you think the first mate is playing double,
and exciting the men to mutiny? Yes or
no 7" n
"yes, captain."
The captain did not lift his eyes from the
table at this answer, but giving aslight half
disdainful sigh, poured out a glass of, water
and 'drank it, then rose, shook tile purser by
the hand, and.:loOked stead* face.
• " Come up with mb . , Parser, okdeek," he
and ; I:ve wiltsettle this matter at once,

Carlisle, Pa., Friday, April 13, 1866.:
blocked with ice peaks. A sabbnth calm
reigned over the vessel. Thn men were ly
ing down by the trim rope coils, some read
ing, some conversing ; not a plank but was
as clean as a pink ; not a bolt-head or brass
but shone as well as anything could shine in
that lurid light. The mate and carpenter
wore sitting near the wheel, looking at the
advancing fog; at the entrance to the fo'k
sal were some men stretched out half asleep.
The captain said not a word, but walked
straight up to the man at the wheel, and
looked at the compass.
" Why, you're steering south, - he said,
quietly, wand I told you nor'-nor'-west an
hour ago." ,
- t‘ I am steering as the first mate told me, —
said the fellow sullenly. ‘. I can't steer a ,
every one wants me. If it was my way, I'd
steer
The first mate, as the man said this. came
up and took the wheel from him insolently,
as if in defiance of the captain.
"Jackson's steering right," be said.
"Right you call it," said the captain
storming. " Fin a plain man, and I like
plain dealing. Mr. Caracw,,l've had enough
of your lying tricks ; let go the wheel, sir,
and g o t o your cabin. Consider yourself
under arrest for mutinous conduct. Purser,
you are witness ; lake this man down."
Cardew still refused to lot go thu wheel.
With As quicknes- of thought the captain
felled him with a blow: in a moment the

"Just as 1 always did. Go : watches u.• ut

calm reply. "I'd rather even now be bound
here, than change my conscience with Yours,
Carden'. I'm a plain man, and I mean it
when I — say that it's no worse dying here
than at Mune in a leather lied. It is less

“Ay, ay, sir," was the reply, with a. bru
tal and disgusting laugh ; and away the men
went un their search, eager as boys for at rat
, hunt.
An hour after, all but the watch to toll the
fog-bell, the mutineers aboard the Shooting
Star were sunk into a drunken and wallow
ing sleep. That night, from time to time,
Captain Ritson kept his men's hearts up with
cheerful words ; the cold was hard to bear,
but they survived it. When day broke,
they all united in prayer that God would al
low them to die soon and together. They
had stink into a torpid - ,semi-sleep, when-the
sound of a gun through the fog, in the dis
tance, aroused them. At the sumo moment,
tholoud, taunting voice of the mate awoke
the bound men to-a sense of their misery and
despair.
"Good morning, Captain Basun," said
the mato. "Lord, lads, how chop-fallen that

As the Sluniting Star slowly settled do«•n,
Captain Ritson took oil his (.111) /111(1 stood

" Thvre," said he, " goes fig good a vessel
as ever passed the Mersey lights ; as.long us
she flouted she'd have done Alpssrs. David

" Good by, old Shooting Star," said th
men. "If ever a man deserved the gailow..
it's that first mate of ours."
The raft reached the shore safely
" 1 take possession of this'ore floating

to keep up the men's spirits, as he leaped on
the ice, "in the name of her blessed Ma

on to the mainland, we'll wait and see
what the mainland is. T wonder if there
are many bears, or buffins, or white foxes,
on it. And now let's rig the tents, and thon
we'll measure put the food." •
The next day brought no hope. The puck
proved to be of enormous size, and, a deep
ice-fog prevented its complete exploration.
The food was fast ..decreasing. The few
penguins on the pack would not come with

it dived, and appeared no more. The men's
hearts began to sink ; half the spars had
been used up for the fires ; ono day more and
the fuel would be gone ; the rum gone; the
meat Ono. Frost and Starvation awaited
them. There were no murmurs. Once the
captain came on two of the sailros who was

stood up, his musket in his hand, for he had
all this time kept watch at night like the
other man, and shared every labor and

ing his fate.
"If this voyage had only turned out
well," he said, "1 might have got a ship
again ; for the firm promised me a ship again
if I only kept from drink and did my duty;
and this time I have done it by them, and I
should have saved the vessel if it hadn't been
for this mutiny."
Captain Ritson began,--'

restseerfrd to actually grow smaller, nod
shrink together in their hopeless despair.—
The purser rocked to and fro, holdin4
head between his hands; The quartermaster
shook with the cold, and turned purple with
fear. The boy burst into an agony of tears.
-Come, men let us light a tire, - said
Captain Kitson. "We are nat women. Let
us collect any remaining wood, and having
preyed together and committed ourselves
into His hands(the captain took off his het
and looked upwards), let us sleep, and in
that sleep, if it is His will, death will take
But nothing could rouse them now. The
purser, and the purser only, had strength
enough left to collect the few pieces of
driftwood outside the tent. It was like dig..
ging one's grave, as the night. began to fell,
anti ttbut out the white cliffs and desolate
tracts of ice.
“Light it, Pennant,” said the captain,
"while we kneel round and comMit
selvos to Him who never leaves the helg,
though hapay seem to sometime when the
storm hides" Him."
The fire crackled and spluttered; then
rose in a thin wavoring flame.
"Before this is burnt out, messmates, we
shall have started on' another voyage; and
pray God we get safely to port. Now, then,
load all the muskets, and fire them at the
third signal I give. If there is any vessel
within two miles off the peek, they may
perhaps hear'us.—One, two, three."
Tho discharges of five guns broke the
ghastly stillness Wilh a crashing explosion,
which•seemed to rebound and, spread from

Just then purser, who had been star
ing tattle horizon, trying to'pierce the gloom
to the right, leaped on his feet, shouted,
screamed, cried, embraced the captain, and
danced and flung up his hat.
Every one turned round and looked where
ho was looking. There they saw a light
sparkle, end then a red light blaze up, and
then a rocket mount in a long tall of fire
till it discharged a nosegay of colored stars.
It whs ship answering their light. Then
came the booming sound of a ski,p's gun.—
It pga vessel lying off the pack, and they
were saved.
NO. 15
An hour's walk (they were all strong e
nough now) brought the captain and his
men to the vessel's side. The ship was only
three miles off along the shore, but the fog
had hidden it from them when they had re
turned to lay down and die.
As honest rough hands pressed theirs and
helped them up the vessel's side, and honest
brown faces smiled welcome, and food was
held out, and thirty sailors at once broke
into a cheer that scared the wolves on the
opposite shore, Captain Ritson said,—
“Thatik God, friends, for this kindness.
l'am a plain man; and r mean what I say ;
but my heart's too full now to tell you all I
feel. Purser, I did loose hope just now,
when I saw the raft carried away.”
One autumn afternoon, four moncts later,
three men entered Mr. Blizzard's office and
inquired for that gentleman.
'•lte is engaged just now," said anew clerk
(the rest had left,) and pointing to inner
glass door that stood ajar. 'Engaged with
Captain Cardew, of the'Morning Star ; he
sails to-morrow for Belize. Take seats."
"The Muffled-up sailor-looking men took
seats near the half opened door, through
which camo low words of talk.
-Ritson was too reckless." said a dis
agreeable voice, ttand quite lost his bend in
danger.'
uNo doubt," said another voice. "Take

PROGRESS OE LOYALTY in Mourn CARO
LINA.—The Raleigh (N. C ) Standard of
a recent date has-the following.
"The town of Wilmington, in this State,
has recently passed by popular election from
the hands of loyal Union men into the hands
of original secessionist and latter day war
nr.n. T same is true as to :he county
court of New Hanover, under the appoint
ment of magistrates made by the L”.gls , a •
tore. It is considered disreputable in Wil
mington to be an outspoken, unconditioull
- Union man. General Robert Ransom, lately
of the Confederate service, has been chosen
Marshal of the town, with a salary-of $2,000.
General R. is we presume, still unpardoupd.
A S.I.N F[161:01%900 jury has acquitted the
mutineers of the sh ip White Swallow on
the ground that their acts were justifiable
in view of their inhuman treatment
by the officers of the ship. The mutiny
consisted in placing and keeping the cap•
tain and mates in irons until they agreed
to treat the men as human beings; after
which ,they wore released .atid the voyage
completed without any, further trouble.
