"A MAN OVERBOARD:"
OR, THE SOLITARY FRIEND.
I think it is now about twelve years—it May be
thirteen--since the "Jacob Morgan," a ship of
seven hundred tons burden, sailed from Brims
wick, Georgia, for the East Indian. She was a
noble ship, but if we believe the assertions of - one
who sailed in her,. site was built formisfitrtimea•

era) years subsequent to the period when the
story opens, she was driven upon one of tlirMar
tyr's Beet?, and her ill-fated timbers were strewn
upon the sands of Florida.
At the time of triritir w -eoete., Jam
Morgan was commanded by Captain Ben Wal
led, a powerful, broad chested man, but as kind
and considerate ati he eras fearless and strong.—
Seanien were'searee, and the ship's crew was ob
tained with'grrat &acuity, and under these cir
cumstances men had been hired who wonid oth
erwise have been rejected. The ship had been
six day' out, when the lint mate, a Mr. Gwynn,
from Providence, R. 1., was suddenly taken sick
and on the next morning his lifeless clay *sag
consigned to the deep grave of the blue Atbin--

We have taken the reiponsibility had this eapttiin
desired it. Thcre., was but one man in the ship
who possessed Nullifies'', knowledge of seamanship
for the mate's berth, and though Waliaek found
that to him be must give the office, yet he did
so with many misgivings. The man's
_nsme was
Tom Roland, haughty and overbearing in his dis
position, seeming by his general eonduct to have
been in - the habit of commanding rather than
obeying, on shipboard, and who had already be
gun to exercise a sort of - control over the crew .
lot the ease was one of necessity, and Tom Re,'
land was installed into the once of first mate,
and quartered in the cabin.
For several weeks things passed off extremely
well. Roland preyed to be a thorough navigator,
a finished seaman, and a ready and efficient offi
cer, and Captain Wallack began to think his
misgivings were entireli groundless. Over the
crew Roland had the most entire control, and
even those who had evinced towards the Captain 1

minutes past eight o'clock, thew went below.—
When they reached the cabin, Mr. Russell, the
supereargo,was just rising from the table, and
taking a book front the head 'of his' buider . com.

upon the weather, as the Captain and his second
mate sat down to breakfast, and went on with
his reading. Some five minutes bad pulped,
when Faulkner and Wallack were startled by a
sodden exelamation of pain from the supercargo,
and on turning they saw that be had dropped his

his stomach, while his features had maimed a
livid hue expressive of the most smite suffering.

in, while the foremast hands with the excel).
1 tion of the man at the wheel, 're all forward.
! The captain paced the quarter deqk in a thciaght
! ful, troubled moat, ever and aim casting his
eye i towards the companion way, where his• first
mate bad disappeared a short time before, and
then turning his gaze towards the forcastle, where
'the men bad congregated. Faulkner was b' the
wheel, and several times as the captain approach
ed_him in ads walk did he start to join hiin, but
a fearful suspicion kept him back, and until the
watch was changed, neither he nor Wallack
coke a wprd, save such as related to the mad.
agement of the ship. At eight o'clock Roland
caste on deck for the first watch. The ship was
upon the starboard tack, close hauled upon the
wind, and just able to, stand ou her course. •
1 1 As Captain Walla& gave up the deck, be re
! quested the mate, if the wind should haul round
/tv the eastward 'any, to call him., Third ilia
: ed kindly that he would, but betteath - -the half
! curling smile that rested upon his features the,
' captain thought he could detect a lurking spirit
of evil. He let not a shadow of his doubt man
ifest itself. upon his countenance, but with a
bland frankness he wished his mate a pleasant
. watch, and' went below.
" Faulkner," said the captain, as he cast a fu
gitiveglance at the head of the ladder, "let not
a word escape you, unless it be of common place
' affairs, until we turn into oar berths; but keep
your weather eye open, and follow. my move
' mitts." . ,
Faulkner did not start at this request, for the
' same thoughts seemed to be passing in his own
mind. -
" Let's see," said the captain in a tone loud'
enough - to be heard on deck, " I must run over
my reckoning before I turn in. Mr. Faulkner,
just hand me that 'chart if you please,"
As Wallach spoke he reached over into his
berth and took out his pistols, which he proceed
ed carefully to load, taking care the while that
his back was turned towards the companion way . .
Faulkner followed his example, and ere long the
.
: two men retired, but not to sleep. •
" Faulkner," whispered the captain, "we are (
in a »ring fix, for Flare reason to believe there
is mutiny aboard. Gwynn and Russell have both
been 'poisoned."
" Sn I believe," returned Faulkner, in the ~ ame
low tone, " and if I am not iniitaken,

"Hark"' whispered Faulkner, as a suppressed
voice at the wheel met his ear. •
He -bent his head outtrotu the bunk, and caught
the following words. which he knew to be from
the lips of Roland:
"They are/both asleep before this time, Hall.
You look out for the deck a •few minutes, whilel
I see the boys in the forecastle. - . .
"He's going to the forecastle," whispered
Faulkner. "Now is your time to follow him."
"No—lyoe had better go, Faulkner, for it may
be that some one will come down to see me, and)
in that case our movements would bediseoveeed.
There's mutiny and no mistake. You know I
where the passage runs between the boxes; just
abaft the mainmast it takes a short turn to star-
board and follows along the chock down to the
tanks. Slip out from your berth, and go over
to where the supercargo used to bunk, and move I
that panel; it moves easier than mine does."
Faulkner
_lost no time in obeying-the captain's
directions. There were two secret communica
tions to the hold of the ship, through the cabin
bulkhead, and through one of these the second-
Mite soon made his way. Nearly a half an
hour elapsed ere he returned, and daring • that
time the captain's mind was tortured by various
fearful emotions, Until the death of &smell, he
had not held suspicion of direct mutiny, and his
former fears with regard to Roland had nearly
been quited, but now the suspicion had been
sudden, and it was strong, even to very certain
! ty. A thousand little instances came back to
!his mind, which singly had appeared as nothing,
but which -now helped to solve the mystery of
Owynnls death. Wallack had medical know
ledge enough to know that the supercargo bad
been killed by tchik arsent, and he now knew
' that his first mate came to his end thesame way,
though the dose of the latter most have been
. much smaller than that which sent poor Russell
to his untimely end, and its symptoms bad not
been so papa*. •
While the captain lay thus racking his brain,
Faulkner returned tem his espienage, and as he
crept stealthily past the foot of his bursk,-Wal
lack fancied he could bear his heart beat in his
bosom.
~ ‘ "What news?" asked the captain, almost fear
ing to put the question.
"We are lost!" uttered Vanlkner, ss he clasp-
Ki hands in silent agony.
"Use" reiterated the captain. "Nn, uo,lhat
cannot be. Some of them will surely help mi."
"Ben Waßack," returned the mate, in a tone
that made the
_captain's stout heart beat more
quickly, "You have not but one solitary. friend

of Benguela, and take in a load of slaves for either
Brazil or Cuba. When the bloody villiatibegan
to talk to-night, he bad some thoughts of-killing
you . ; and then trying to gain me into his service,
but he soon rejected the idea. and to-morrow we
both die."
"Don't giro up, yet," said the captain. "Some

and we know not how to inset dia. Hire think

one consolation—We will die together, honest

"By the power of greet Heaven, we will not

might have proved dangerous. "My aim is fit

"Then I brie it. I'll tell you on the wutch

.k# the captain spoke, he heard a slight foot•
fall at the companion way, and liming 'that he
might be watched, he turned upon his back, laid
his hand upon the but of his pistol, he fell into
a low, steady snoring, which he kept up till his
watch was called at midnight.
The reaminfier of the night passed on without
disturbance. Wallack and his solitary friend
carried on such conversation as they could I
during their watch, and in the morning they
came upon the deck half an hour before the cook
had prepared their breakfast. The captain walk. :

deck, and then beckoning to Faulkner, who 4t1)00
sulkily leaning against the lee rail, he walked
forTird to the bitty. The beeiml, mate followed
his silent request, and in a moment after he 'passed
th? caboose, the cook came out and threw over
board the coffee he had prepared foi'breakfaat.
When Faulkner came up to the bitty, Roland
re l
cast a urtive glance around, and then, looking
fixedi) into hire companion's eyes ; said— .

" Yea.;'
"But , would you not dare to take his life?"
" I datv take any man's life that strikes me."
Roland's eye - sparkled as he heard this; be then
asked—
"But who would take his place in command?"
" Who?" returned Faulknisr,, with a perfect
appearance of - honest intent, "Why, who, is there
but you that is qualified?" '
" But if I were captain would you follow me?"
Tes—even to the hoisting of the black flag,
so that I had revenge."
Roland grasped his companion by the_ hand,
and after gazing a moment into his face, ha went
on and • detailed the whole plot he hal formed
fbr taking the ship, landing the cargo at Lower
Chines, and gOing into the slave trade. His re
cital was just.the same that the second mate had
heard while listening at the forecastle bulk head,
and, as he concluded; he said— , •
" Now, Faulkner, will you join us?" . ,
" Yes, readily; bat rememember, it shall be
my hand that finds the life of Captain Willack."
"Then be it so. returned Roland. And now
we must have the matter settled as soon rye possi

for Rolan.l'a eyes were opeu.tu all that
about him, and they knew that if their deception
was suspected, their death would be certain and
immediate. But the mom part of the work was
to be accomplished, for they had sixteen stout

swell with their leader. Wallack's 'main hope
was in disposing of the five leading mutineers in
hie watch, by boon stratagem, and then des
patching Roland before the watch below could
come to their mecum but whatever was to be done
must be done before midnight, as all hands
would bb on the alert for action, before the morn
ing watch -was set.
At length the captain and meted mate took
the first watch. Nine o'clock passed end so did
ten. Wallack paced the deck in a steady,
thoughtful mood, ever sad anon casting his eyes
about upon the crew, moat of whom were for
ward. • The moon threw its pale beams upon the
herculean form of the Captain, ands close obser
ver might have seen the iron muscles as they
worked in his limbs. His countenance betrayed
the varying thoughts and intense anxiety that
moved within him. Fire times after the bell

walk how the wheel to the male mast tad back.
At the sixth turn, just as he reached the rack in
which were coiled the mainsail halyard he stop
ped suddenly, with I nervous, quickness, while
the flashing of his eyes and the instantaneous
enntractionand'expansion of the muscles of the
face, showed that some powerful idea had shot
in his mind. He quickly resumed his walk,
however, and the same appearance of cool thought
once more rested upon his features.
The wind was now blowing a good topgallant
breeze. from;.S. S. E., and the ship was close
hauled um the starboard tack, and stook E.
half S under single reef topsail and top-gallant
sails.
" Mr. Faulkner," said the captain, spin atop
pin in his 1 walk sear the mein -mast, at the
mine time inistioningto his second mate to come
to him.
" I have 'it: Watch me every motion, and
fail not to catch every. word I.utter. At the
Brit opperatity you get, as soon as the men are
all up, secure the "cabin and, foreeisde compan

This • Wallack spoke in a hurried whisper, and
then raising his voice, •be said:
"%Mr. Faulkner, will you go below sad tell
say mate that I should like to see him a moment
on deck?" Then he added in a whisper. "Tell
him I have business of the utmost importance."
Fiulkner looked a moment into hit; command
er's fare as if he drui e htfsi whether this order was
given in _earnest. but the '4ontidrnt, re.tointe
countenance which urn his gaze, up•gured him,

und.r th-..lee of the ~.panker, "I should not have,

If you will just step out of the earshot ?f l'ialk
ner, I w lk tell you.' •
Roland stepped to the.lec rail, and leaned his
back against it, while the captain stood leaning
againq the rail at the mate's left hand.
"Roland, - 'continued he, "Fin • afraid Mr.
Faulkner is up,to some evil design."
....kb" uttered the villian, while a -peculiar
sparkle shot forth fi:ont his eyes.-, "Perhaps he
has not forgotten the blow you gave him."
--lelok out sir, look nut, Roland, or you'll be
overboard." .-
Waßack uttered the tint syllable of this
exclamation, he placed his hand upon Roland's
mouth, and, with a crushing, irresistible force
he, bent him back over the rail. At the same time
he caught the mutineer by the leg, and are the
last syllable of this exclamation fell from his
lips, Rolaiid was plunged head-long into the sea.
"A man overboad !" shouted Wallach, as he
sprang to the wheel, and took the helm from him
who held it. "Mr. • Ronald is overboard! Cut
affray the life buoy there; one of you! man' the
main-topsan braces, both sides. Main olewlar
nets and buntlines. Mr. Faulkner, rouse up all
tuitids, and clue up! -Work lively, men, or we
shall lose him! • Haul Out the spanker!—now
spring to the stern davits, boys! Cat the lash
ings—don't atop to Cast of anything!"
These orders had been given at intervals, as
rapidly as they could be obeyed, and by the time
all hands were up from below, the ship was hove
to, with the maintopsails to# mast.
- The hub was lowered fro the davits heated
under the quarter, and those who were the most
elisions to save - the mate, were the first to leap -
filo it.
"Lst every oar be maned!" shouted the. cap
tain, "and you'll save him yet. , I can see him.
He's caught the life buoy:"
The boat pulled eight oars, and with a hand
it the tiller, she had nine men in her when she
put Coif; and, as "%Rack had expected, these
eomprieed"the men he most feared. Faulkner
saw the whole in an instant, and unobierred by
the rest of the crew, who were too intently watch
ing the mite, whose white shirt could every now
and then be seen, as he rose and fell upon the
life-buoy, he sprang forward and ..,ecured the
forecastle compariicin-way, so that the men could
not readily obtain.their arms.. When the boat
had neared . to where the mate was rolliug';atutni
in the salt-bath, the captain gradually gave the
ship weather helm until the maintopsail was ill
ea abaft. . Then, as if the affair was the result of
an accident, he exchtimed: 7 --
.Haile, I've let her off. Mims helices, boys,

The men mistrusted not, mid in a minute the
mizzen topsail was squared.
"Belay there, and jump to the bead brad-1

'As sown as the head braces had been belayed,

"No:" thundered Capt. Walla& as he drew
heavy pistol in each hand, while Faulkner did
the same. "If you , mote the wheel a single
spoke, or leave the helm without my ostlers, you
are a dead man! Sop there:" he continued,
.turning to the five men who had now came aft.
The first man that moves as inch till I bid him,
dies on the spot: Aha, my fine fellows, you are
well caught! That boat will never reurn to this
ship. I threw your scoundrel leader overboard,
and then I sent nine more after him. They may

dare speak a mutinous word, aye, if yon look a

As the captain spoke, the three man thus des

trembling at every joint, they awaited his will. A
moment he looked as though he would have ut
terly annihilated them with Lis very gaze, and
then he said:
• " Tell me, my men, and mind that you tell
me truly --were yen frightened into this bloody
mutiny, or did yeti join of your own free will?"
"Oh, Capt, Wallack," exclaimed Walleigh,
as lie fell upon his knees and clasped hii hands,
while the others followed his examples, "we were
drawn in wit sir. Gwynn and Russell had both
gone, when Roland , threatened ue, if we didn't
join him. As there is a God in Heaven, we did
it to save our lives.'
"And you, Howell," said the captain, as ho
turned to the mu at the wheel.
"Walleigh knows," answered - Howell, not dar

upon his beast, "that I refused at Bret, but there

"Oh, God bless you; Sir:". ejaculated they all

"That will do—l will trust you now," said
the captain; who saw that they were now sincere
