resolved to board her; [Brad accordingly

would never doubt:the . truth of this
favorite boast of theirs.
Ho . wever,,in,this case,it was' entirely
different. The captain, as I surmised,
was a protege of, the - owners,.-and was
accordingly placed in command of this
fine vessel as soon as' he had - satisfied
the very moderate requirements of the
board of I.raile.l. He was a Most agreea
ble mn,,bf Abed education, but .totally

ti rinness of will orquieknessof decision ;
liedcelsaw that he was. bydio means
the right man in the right p ace.' After
our firAt Meeting we were a good deal
tegether whilst his ship was dischar
ging her carg6, and ' talcing in her home
ward freight. ' "
• As I expected, the greater number of
his crew degerted in,
,Sydney, and,he
had to Makeup, the complement from
loafers ,and [ , :villainous . riff-raffWthat
abound iii a colonial seaport.- The day.
'before he was to sail from England ho
expressed to!me-his ilistriist'of -his' nei , vH
crew; they were certainly as rascally a
lot of men aW,lt:e i witaild 'be likely to

experienc - Of the Merchant service, I
knew Olel.d.ily well: flat these 'fellows
were i ( whe rmq out on the high apes,

gladly accepted.
On the following day,' jwrin Con board
just as the half-drunken crew, with
Mitch ' Shonting 'a ii d singing, Were

engines began to,move the .two vessels
slowly out from the circular quay • into
the stream.. Then. all• hands dropped
their work, and swarming. up the rig
ging,. greeted the bY-statiders and the
shipping'with drunken cheers. ' And
so they continue to work spasmodically,
`and • repeatedly - leaving off to cheer,
:feebly and discordantly, anything that
[was passing. It was only too evident
- ;that there would be,trouble with them
yet, if there should.not be wind enough
outside the Heada!td enable the ship to
.get clear away to sea thatevening. The
captain was already ,as nervous its:could
,be, and so I:said nothing .of my fears.
IV was with much 'concern for him that
'T noticed . the, syeecing , flaws , of wind
growing .eVetyl Moment fainter'' and
fainter. J ;
As we slowly wound in and out among
'the lovely bays of :this- superb 'harbor,
at every turn apparently land-locked
in a different lake, . each of a beauty
surpassing the last, the Ni‘And gradually
died away. The golden rays of the seta
ting sun stepped on shore in a glorious
flood of warpt! light;,iwhilst th: high
cliffs and richlY Wbeded slopes 'of "the
'other were indark, sombre shade..; By.
,degrees the, lengthening.. shadows ex
tending far .out [into. the 'bine %VvriterS,
stretched over to the opposite Shore ; and
enveloped all in a gray twilight. 'illy
.this'time the noisy,, , rattling, old tug

piisition that she sould stand out to sea
with the first breeze.: This, done, the
tug-boat was cast °Wand' permitted to
return to Sydney. - - . .
As soon as the.cable was secured, the
mate reported that the clew demanded
grog. The men being already in a hal l'.
intoxicated state, their request, which
was really a.demando9stiot complied
with. This was the beginning of trot] b•

They were ati ugly-looking mob, seine
With bide shirts, some with red,' many
with neither, but nearly all brandishing
large open knives. Wi th frightful oaths
and threats, they denianded that the
keys tif the' "lazarettEt," in Which' the
spirits were kept, should be given up to
them. This; of course • was refused, and
they, were ordered to leave the saloon.
At this they yelled and shouted deli
stadediadding a .cask of ram:
I attempte'd to'speak to them ,•' but my`

In the „ adjoining, state-room

The captain then, by my advice, ordered
the boatswain to,pipe to supper. ?This
conimandwas received by all with &-

Taking - no notice of his braggadocio ; I
again'spohe to hint, in a tone that. im
piled that I should be 'as good as my
word. • 1
"Boatswain," I _Raid, "I have, given
you an order • if you fail any longer to

;With these words Iglowly cocked the
keyolver and took a deliberate aim at
his head. .
•• At the first sound ofthatdis'sagreeable
iok, of the pistol-lock he cried out "For
geodness sake, don't lire, sir, I'll, do it;',
adding 111 a low growl to the others,
It don't Matter, r chaps, I know you
won'tgo none the more forit."
The boatswain's shrill whistle then
rang sharply and clearly through the
saloon; but, no one'heeded 'it except to
greerit with yells'and roars of derisiye
laughter.
As soon as I could make mySelf heard
above the tumult, I .sternly and reso
lutely said :
'Men, you have disobeyed your eap
lains, Wit you shall, do as I tell you."
(Here:there were shouts of "Who are
you ?'lt "Go back and bully • your own
men,", and the like.) "New, 1 orderyou
all to' clear Out of . this cabin." Here

,will give you

the end of that time I'll blow out the
braitiS'of the nearest man, and then the
next,, l and so on."
At this there was a great bUZZ and
ialkixrg ,amongst the such, yet they
'Made ind signs of moving, but watched
Me `stauding , with 'the watch in one
handl:aid the'pistol in the other.
"brie minute has gone; you have

said keeping my eyes on the dial of the
watch. The crowd received this with a
sulky groan, but yet they seemed as if
- they woulil stand their ground. It was
strange to see these wild, almost frantic
'men cowed in to a state of dogged 'si
lence by one determined man with a
revolver.
'.'Two minutes had gone; I warn you
no more. The instant this hand passes
the third minute I fire, and the nearest
man will be my mark."
For a few seconds more they .stood
grumbling and growling; but on hear
ing the click of the cocking of the re
vol4er they began to waver. Then com
paring the respective distances of the
foreinost men from me, and fixing my
'eyes steadily on one burly fellow, I
said in a IoW tone, as,if speaking to my
self, yet loud enough to be heard by all,
"I think bo Is the nearest, yes, yes, by
some Inches." At this lid cowered down
and begah to draw back to give one of
his comrades the preference. He in his
turn gave way to another, and so on,
until it was evident that no one was
desirous of being the foremost, and so
they moved off sulkily out of the cabin.
They i seented sadly' apprehensive that
the last minute would be shorter than

really ludicrous te , See how the huit

loaded,' nor a single cap on ?"
"My dear' sir," I replied, "I kneW
that perfectly well, but the men didn't.,
and I trusted rightly that they would
not find'it Out."
HaVing somewhat imprudently re
placed the pistol in the captain's cabin,
we went on deck to calm .our ,minds
with some' ood cigars.
The'captain going below shortly af-:
terward, came quickly on deck again,
and with consternation plainly visible
in every feature, whfspered to me 7--
" The revolver - is gone-=they have
stolen it. We'sball have' more trouble
to-night. What are we to do now ?"
" You are right," I replied, "we

•
These were soon brought and I wrote
the following letter:
" Ship - t off' Sow and Pigs reef.
" Send the pinnace immediately with
their arms and ball-cartridges. Let the

Mpeh out of sight as possible. The of--
neer of the boat is to enforce strict si
lence on nearing the , vessel. Lose no
time in carrying out these instructions."
Having. signed this, and directed it to
the " commanding officer H. M. S.
Herald." the next consideration was as
to the means of sending it. , There was
the diffieulty. '
Our only chance was a passing brat.
We 'watched anxiously for
,some time,
and at length we heard a very merry
pleastire party singing as they pulled
back , after a day's sea-fishiag. To my
shout of "Boat ahoy," not:iing but the
echoing rocks and hills answered. Ju t

NETTIE GRAY
Every body said that Nettie Gray
was a beauty
,; not one of your polished
eity belles, but a gay, romping piece of
naturers hand I work ; yet gentle and
ametionate wlithal, possessing a depth
at' feeling and sentiment.
Nettie Gray had long been loved by
Charley Grattan, the handsome young
merchant, who kept the only store 'the
village of N could boast of.le
had realized quite a fortune, a part of
whieh he had -invested in•the purchase
of \Vidow Morton's beautiful cottage
anti grounds, who had been obliged to
take a place where she could live less
expensively.
, The numberless acts of generosity
which Charley was never tired of per
forming, made him herb of the village,
and caused him to be loved and respect
ed by both old and young.
Nettie •Gray was indifferent to his ma
ny visits, for the spirit of mischief
s ned to possesg her, and thbugh, she
was uniformly kind and gentle in her
disposition towards her lover, yet When
he approached the subject nearest his.
heart, she was off like a frightened bird.
Not that she was afraid of him, or that
his subject was distasteful to her, for
her own heart "was equally- interested ;
but she delighted to tease him, and
heartily enjoyed his discomfiture oh
such occasions. She knew he loved her
with albthe •strength of his soul, and
she had no fear of alienating his affoe-
tions from herself—an event which .
would have given. her the deepest pain.
Charley had begun to think seriously
of marriage ; and why not ? There
stood the cottage embowered in trees,
many of which were bending under
their heavy load of fruit unoccupied.—
It only needed the presenco of his
bright eyed Nettie to make it a para
dise. Ills income was more than suffi
cient to satisfy their most extravagant
wants, and why should he not marry ?
Many times he had visited Nettie with
the express purpose of revealing his
wishes but had as often been prevented
from saying what he wanted to say i by
the little mischief running away at ,the
fast word he uttfired.
To think of supplying her place from
the many damsels in the village who
would gladly have accepted hig hand,
was out of the question. It was Nettie
that he loVed and Netty only, and he .
felt sure she returned his affections, but.
how could he ever get married if he was
not permitted to propose?
"I must resort to a stratagein," tho't
he; and he partially formed many plans
to bring her to terms, and as often aban
doned•tliem.
His mind was busy with such tho'ts
as, one bright morning in September,
he walked towards Farmer Gray's man
sion. He leisurely ascended the hills, at
the top of which, upon , a lovely table
laud,-was the great old house, when he
was startled by a familiar voice -call
ing—
Bring the the ladder,-Diek ! I want
to get down."
Upon looking up he behold Nettie
seated in the wide-spread lin.anches of a
large lapple tree that stood in the field
near the road. Dick, perched upon the
topmost round of a ladder that leaned
against a peach tree, was quietly filling
a ba6ket with the beautiful, delicious
fruit.
" Wait a minute, Sis," replied Dick,
without looking up, " I have got my
basket almost full. I will comp in a
minute." . 1
Dint' n•triklanflv bProm tn_thaik some
thing was wrong, tor hs LUt FOUlal
his eye instantly caught 'sight of our
young hero coming up the road; but a
few rods from where they were. He
immediately descended the tree, but
instead of taking the ladder to assist
his sister to descend, he gave a loud
shout, thresf'his cap into the air, clear
ed the wall with a bound, and ran rap
idly down 'the hill, shouting at the top
of his voic6—
" 0, Mr.
_Grattan, I've treed a coon !''
Then placing his hands upon the
ground before him, he turned some five
or six summersaults, picked up his cap
and ran with all his might to the house.
The little rogue evidently' loved mis
chief as well as his pretty sister.
Charley's first thought was to get .to
the assistance.of Nettie, and he leaped
the wall and approached the tree. Tak
ing the ladder treat under the tree he
was about placing it for her to descend,.
when a sudden thought suggested it
self " She cannot run away from me
nowt;" so, without stopping to consid
er the ungallant act, he grasppla lower
branch, and with some gay remarks
swung himself gently up and seated
himself, close by her side.
Nettie, who was an amiable girl, and
could take a joke as good naturedly as
she could give one, laughed heartily at
the trick her brother had played upon
her,.complimented Charley upon his
agility and invited him to help himself
to the blushing fruit that hung in such
tempting profusion about them. After
hitting on a variety of themes he de-
termined to approach the subject, and
if possible get au intelligent answer.
For some time he sat in silence, then
said—
" Nettie, I have something to say to
you. . _
" Ah? have you ?" she replied.—
" Well, Charley, please let me down,
and you can tell me soy much better
than you can up here."
Charley saw there was mischief in
her.e3'es, and resolved to l go on without
heeflingherrequest. Yet ho Changed
somewhat his mode of attack.
"Nettie,.l'm going to be married."
"Married, Charlie, married ?" -
Without heeding the playful glances
that were raised to his face, he went
on—
-" Yes, Nettie : my business is now
very prosperious ; I have a pretty home
that needs on.iy 'the additional charm of
a pair of pretty black eyes. I haveH
found a sweet, gentje girl, whom I loye
with all my heart, and who is willing
to become my wife, and Thaveresolyed
to marry. - I have tried a long time to
tell you, .but you - would not listeln:"
e - s
Nettie had listened to hip B ch in
utter amazement. She had hi g '.be
lieved that she was the belovedb Char
ley Grattan's heart, and she Meant, of-,
ter she had teased him to/her • little
heart's content, to listeulto / his love and
become his beautiful-and loving wife.—

But her hopes were nowt

the spirit would onli'make them more

we trlsted that before then the - pinnace
would have come toiour assistance. ••- '• ,
An. iously we' sat at the stern-pert,
intently listening for-the sound of muf
fled oars. It was quite dark, nothing
could be seen or heard but the drunken •
brawling of the crew on deck.• - By- de='
greis they became noisier and 'noisier, .
the r conversation principally turning '
on that infernal naval lieutenant, - as •
tit were pleased to designate mi.,
fin what they intended to do with him.
Some suggested " keel-hauline' him ; -
others a dose of his favorite cat-o'rnine,
tails; whilst many advised making a
target of him for a little practice -with
that revolver which had previously so
cowed them all. Again, many thought
he would look well dancing on nothing
whilst hanging on the foreard arm—
that is to say, if one could -from •
the roars of laughter that his : sugges

when we:heard tbe7elcomeplash-plash,

men safely ensconsed in the after state- •

And they arr ved none too soon, for
the captain an I had 'hardly seated
ourselves at o r old places in the sa
loon; when the ame unruly mob burst
in as before.
'ln answer, to the captain, they said
that they meant to do him no harm, all.
they wanted, was that man-o'-war of
ficer, And without him they would not
leavethe saloon. - •.
To this the captain replied with un
wonted fineness : .
" This gentleman is a guest of mine,
and I must first know what you want
with him."
The boatswain then, as spokesman for
the rest, said: • ;-
"Waal, we don't 'zactly -know yet
what we,do want with him, but - you
can take your jolly good oath that we'll
make it pretty lively for him when we
do get hold-of him."
Hem there were shouts of "Ay, that
we will; hang the beggar; stick him
up and shoot him ; feed the sharks with
him," and numerous other playful.sug
gestions of a like -nature. •
In that case,:' said the captain,
."not a man of you shall lay a fingeron
him, so you'd better clear out of this
at once." r ,
"'Avast there -a bit;"' replied the
boatswain, "itot so fast, my hero, not
so fast. That man taught me a lesson
just now, and I'll , just rani it to you
now."
At these words be produced the very
same revolver, an with a malicious
grin he took a delib rate aim at the cap
tain's head, at the same time saying,
"Now, my fine fe ter, if you don't
change your'fnind in three minutes, I'll
blow your brains out-first and bis'n af

aren't they mates"? 1I thought I'd
