THE CITIZEN, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1913. PAGE SEVEN n ine jpeo illustrations to Ellswsr&Yjung CHAPTER II. zJr - -" f h(J Happy Ship. Cap'n Moso of the Zedelciah W. Baggs 'e was d Sunday Christian. All up along e'd wear a silk hial, the fanly one on the Labrador Yesi Sundays e'd be ashore talkln preBeetlrikllon an' grace out of a book 'o kep' In 'Id berth, but never a word about -neh or the state of the loo. Mothor'd been raised to a belief in Christians, so when Mose droppod in at her shack, admlrln" how she cooked, she'd be pleased all up the back, and havo him Tight In to dinner. He'd kiss mo, talkln' soft about little children. Yes. 'That's how '0 got me away to sea ae fcoy on a scalin' voyage, without pay lag me any wages. Mother never knew what Cap'n Moso was like on week-days, and Sun day dldnt happen aboard of the Zodo klah. I remember hldln' away at tho back of Ole (Meson's bunk, axing God please to turn me into an animal. Any sort would do, because I seen men kind to animals. You know an animal mostly consists of a pure heart, and four legs, which is a great advantage. Queer world though, if all our preyors was granted. Belay thar. A man sets out to tell' adventures, and if his victims don't find some excuse for getting absent, he owes them all tho happiness he's got It's mean to hand out sorrow to persons bearing their full share al ready. So wo procoods to the night when I ran from tho Zedeklah. and Jolnod the Happy Ship. We lay in the big ico pack off Capo Breton. The Zedeklah was old, Just paint an' punk, and sho did surely groan to tho thrust of tho pact I was too scarod to sleep, so I went up on deck, I'd alius watched for a chnnco to run away, and thar was Jim, tho anchor-watch, squatting- on tho bitts dead asleep. Ho used to be that way when nobody chased him. I seen the lights of the three-masted schooner a couple of miles to wind ward. I grabbed a sealing gaff and slid down on the ice. First, as the pans rocked under me, I was scary, next I warmed, gettln' venturesome, until I camo near slid ing into the wet, and after that I'd look before I lop'. You know how tho grinding piles an edgo around each pan, of broken splinters? That edge shone whlto agin the black of the water, all ,tho guide I had. But times the squalls of wind was likes scythes edged with sleet, so I was blinded, waiting, freez ing until a lull came, and I'd get on. It was broad day, and I reckon each step weighed a ton before I mode that schooner. A gray man, fat, with a chin whis ker, lifted me In overs Ida. "Come far?" says he, and I turned round to show him the Zedeklah. She wasn't there. Sho was gone foundered. So that's how I came aboard of the Happy Ship, Just llko a lil' lost dog, with no room in my skin for more'a bones and famine Captain Smith used to say he'd signed me on as fam ily ghost; but he paid me honest wages, fed me honest grub, while as to clothes and bed, I was snug as a little rabbit He taught mo reading and writing, and punctuation with his belt, sums, hand, reef, and steer, cate chism, knots and splices, sowing, sque gee, rule of- the road, ooojie moojle, psalms of David, constitution of th United States, and playing tho tronv bone, with three pills and a good llcto ing regular Saturday nights. Mother's llttk boy began to set up and take no tice. Tho five years In tho Pawtuckot U along, from Montreal to Colon, front banjos plunking In them portales o( Vera Cruz, to bugles crying revally i Quebec, and tho oyster boats asleep; by Old Point Comfort, and the Glouces ter fleet o-stormlng home past Sabla. and dagos basking on Havana quays. Suck oranges in tho dinghy under tho moonlight, waiting to help the old man aboard when he's drunk. If over ha went ashore without mo, Td be Hka a lost dog, and ho drunk before tha sun was over tho yard-arm. But away together It wasn't master and Roy, but Just father and eon. He'd even named mo after himself, and that's why mjr Soma's Smith. I dis remember wttfen port some whores up tho St. Lawrence where re loaded lumber for tho Gulf o Mexico, but the captain and me was away flfth- tno. Mother had come from tho Lab rador to find me, old gray mother, Bha put on her round horn spectacles to emtio at the mate aft, and, the second mate forward, tho ortiary seaman painting in tho namo board, and Bill In bis boa'n6 chair a-tarring down tho rigging, and the bomboat huindrds who'd been tearing tho old 10000 tehtrWranta. Sho Just eat happy at tha b ui uiu ruwuuuu, uuu auu cure. admired everything, from Old Glory Blno Peter until our nigger cook and spilled slope overside. emits hod had nowo-oi the lady, and atno to grin' but was back' to. bio gal- y. like a rabbit to hie borrow, whQa ho marched up the gangway. "Cant! 4fet" BajSA&erj-npd.-IBn'tb.Q 4 aow boy Heard not a "TvTTrtPelso 'cepi, the splash. For mother Just escorted that nigger right through tho galley, out at the other end, over tho port rail, and boosted blm into the blue harbor, for tho first and only bath he'dever had, Then sho took off her tiorn "Spectacles, her old buckskin gloves, and her bonnet, and sot to cleaning a galley which hadnt been, washe since tho days of President Lincoln. Sho hadn't time to listen to tlio wet nigger or the male, and narry a man on board could get more than yea or nay out of mother. She cooked them a supper too 'good to be eaten and spoilt, then set tho dishes to rights, got tho lamp a-shlnlng, and axed to be shown round tho ship. The cap'n and me comes back along with the dinghy, makes fast, and climbs aboard. There's old gray moth er, with tho horn specs, calm In her own kitchen. Just teirtn' us to sot right down to supper. Cap'n Uvea aft, and I belongs up fbrrord, being ordinary seaman, and less Important aboard than tho old man's pig. Yet somehow mother know, feeding us both in tho galley, and standing by while we fod. Never a word, but" mother had a Jlfiht Boosted Him Into the Blue Harbor. for Captain Smith's cigar, and her eyes looking hungry at mo for fear eheM bo sent ashore. "Well, ma'am," says the captain, "sent your baggage aft? Oh, well eoon got your baggage aboard." Then I heard him on dock seeing mother's dunnage Into the spare berth aft, and tho nigger's turkey thrown out on the wharf. Sort of strange to mo remembering mother, gaunt, bitter-hard, always in jthe right, with lots to say. And hero 'was little mother sobbing her heart :out on tho breast of my Jersey. Just itho Bomo mother changed. Sold sho was fed up with the Labrador, coming away to eeo tho world, moot folks, and lhavo a good time; but would I bo lashamed of having her with mo at seat Shamed? All tho ways down to ;Joe Boef s dear to BlmousM you'll hear that yarn today, of how tho old oca custom of winning a berth In fair fight was practiced by a lady, aboard of the Pawnticket You've heard of ship's husbands, but we'd the first ship's mother. And tho way she crop in was surely Insidi ous. Good word that She's got to bo queen, and tho schooner's a oca palace, when wo suddenly discovered she only signed as cook. Now we're asleep at eleven knots on a boom wmd, and Key West wldo on the starboard bow, tho eamo being In tho second dog-watch when Pm In vited aft There's tho old man setting In tho captain's palace, there's mother at the hood of tho table sewing, and she oek3 mo to sit In tho mate's seat as If I was Chief officer instead of master's dog. "Son." eayo sho queer, little, soft chuckle, "son. You'll never guess' I was sort of -sulky at havings riddles Put. Then tho aid man gets red to the elite, giggling. Ho daps hlssolt on Ws fat knoo nod wriggles. Then ho up and kteecs mother with a big emack right on the Dps. "Cant gneesf Bays mother. Tm the old men," he giggles. "Bhe'B tho oM woman." Then ho reached out hta paw. "Put her there, son!" says bat "wtwtte yor namo, boyf Hod a hand llko a bear trap. 8mrthr I oquoaled, "8401111" "FobV fys bo. "Fill youroeU a coblot of that oro sherry wtne, with eomo sugar. Drink, you cub, to Cap tain and Mrs. Smith. Now off with ye, and pose tho bottlo forrord." Next day, or next week, maybe the Monday tUtowt the ship's got a ncauacho, with the sky Bitting down on the mastheads, tho 00a llko oil, the shoots slapping tho shadows on tho dock, 'where tho tar bolls, and our toot Is like overdone toast Too sky's like copper edged with shoot nghtnmg, then there's scud in a hurry overhead, tho hodson folding tn, and a' funnd-ehapod doud to tho southard wrapping; up tho sky. Thcro'o no air, and I noticed thfe blnnoclo alight, so It must havo beeojilgh dark under that funnol cloud. Just as It vtruckj somo ono called out MAjl aboard I" and I heard tho mato yell, "You mean, all overboard I" Couldn't see much at first, as 1 was busy getting mother ;ut of tho drowned cabin. When I'd passed a halyard round her and tho stump of the mlzzen, I'd Just breathing time. Tho sea was flattened, white under black sky, and what was left of us was mostly blowing about Dad was Just taking command again of what remained. No use shouting either, so ho hung on and beckoned. Tho masts overside were battering holes In us, until we cut adrift Then to the pumps, but that was sort of ex officio Just to keep us warm. Work in's warmer than waiting. Being timber-laden wo couldn't sink, which was convenient But, as mother said, there wasn't any grub on tho roof, and wo couldn't go down-stairs. For Instance, we wanted a drink of water. Well, now, wo been .three days re freshing our parched mouths with beer stories, when a Ashing vessel comes along smelling salvage. Happens he's one of them felucca-rigged dago Bwlno out of Invlcta, Texas. His charges was quite moderate, too, for' a breaker of water and Bomo fancy grub until wo seen the bill. I never knew till then that our old man was owner. Of course that's all right, only ho'd run astern with his Insurance. That's why he'd stay with tho ship, so. It's no good talking. As to mother, she como aboard tho fe luocy, ship's cat in her arms, and a sort of cold, dumb, golng-to-be-good-and-lt's-klllln'-me sort of smile. Sho bore up bravo until sho struck tho number-one smell In tho dago's cabin. "It's too much," she says, handing mo the cat,-too much. Pm going back, to drown clean," 13 ut I was to stay with our sailors aboard tho dago, to fetch Invlcta quick. and bring a tug. Dad trusted me, oven to play tho coward and quit him. ui luur uujt) w yio J? OI jnvrcia. Now In thorn days 1 was fifteen, and OonalSeroil homely. Tho mouth I got would bo largo for a dog, smflo six and three-quarters. Thar ashore at Invlcta, I'd still look sort of cheerful, bo all them tug skippers took me for a Joke. It was four days and threo nights since I'd slopt, bo I suppose I'd look funny wanting to hire a tug. I Bhowod power of attorney, wrote in Indellblo pencil on dad's old dicky cravat, but tho tugs expected cash, and the agents went bach on ma Nothln doing Saturday nights at tho oflloe, tug crews all ashore, but the port will get a move on Monday. Trust grown men to know more'n a mere boy. The glass Is down the gulls is flying Inland, thar's weather brew ing. I seen tn my mind the sprays lash over the wreck. It was dark when I went to the wharves with Captain McGaw to see the Pluribus Unnm. He'd show me a tug cheap at ten thousand cash stores all complete, steam up, engineer on tho premises, though he'd stepped ashore for a drink. Cute cabin he'd got 00 tho bridge, cunning little glory "hole forrord. Why, everything was real bandy, bo that 1 only had to bat 3ilm behind tho ear with a belaylng pln, and ho dropped right down tho fore hatch. All I wanted now was a navigating officer I could trust Which brings mo to Mr. McMillan, our own second mate, buying a dozen fried outers In a card box with a wlro handle, iJtl for twenty-flvo cents, though tU-j girl seemed expecting a Idea. "Hello, Franklo," eajfe I, slapping Wm on tho back. A foremast hand can make his officer act real dignified with less. "Say, Macl D'ye know jwhat Greed done?" I grabbed his 'oysters. "Greed, he choke puppy," says I, and in my mind I seen tha gulls wheel around tho wreck, where something's lying huddled. "Como on, Ipuppyl" says I, waving Fronkle down Itho street with them oysters, so all (tho trade pauses to admire, and our iBocond officer Is running good. More tilings I said, escorting him maybe a (mlle aboard of the Pluribus, Unnm. And there I ato them oysters whflo iho was being coarse and rudo, but all itho time I seen tho wreck heave sick innd sodden on tho swell of the gulf, 'the circling gulls, and how they drove down, pocking at a huddle of torn "Clothes beside tho wheel. Up thar on tho tug's masthead I was iownlng to being tn tho wrong, while jFranklo Mac was promising faithful to tear my hide off over my oars wluin jrm caught. "Please, sir," says I, "It aint so (BHiSa the oysters worries mo. It's :thls yer Cap'n McGaw I done em bezzled. Caynt call It kidnaped "causa bo's over sixty, but I stunned blm Illegal with a belaytng-pln, and I hears hhn groaning times when you stops to pant" But Franklo Mac wouldn't believe ono word until ho went down In tho ,'foro peak to Inquire, while I applied .the hatch, and battened down. So you boo rd got a tug, and tho fCrow aboard, so tho next thing was to take in tho hawsers, shove off, and let jher drift on tho ebb. It's a caution to 000 how many taps nd things beoots an engine-room, all ,of 'em heaps efficient The first thing !l handled proved up plenty steam, for my left arm was pink and blisters for a. week. Next I found a tap called bilge-valve Injection, which lots tn tho sta when you wants to elnk tha ship. I turned him full, and went to sit on the fore hatch while I sucked my arm, and had a chat with tho crew. They was talkative, and battering rat tho batch with an ax, so Pd hardly a word tn edgeways. Then thoy got ecarea won diow up before wo drowned. Alius tn my mind Pd see them gulls squawkln' around the wreck, and mother fighting thorn. That heaped thing by the wheel was dad, for 1 aoon the whltpa of Ms eye? An gulls Cap'n McGaw was plcadln' with mb. then Mr. McMillan. They swore they'd V take me to the wreck for nothln', they'd give their Bible oath, they'd sign agreements. McGaw had a wife and family ashore. McMillan was in love. I turned off the bilge-valve injection, opened the fore hatch, and set them two to work. They was qulto tame, and that night I slept only to wake up screechin' at the things I seen In dreams. Seven days we searched for the wreck before we gave up and quit, at least the captains did. Then night came down black overhead, with the swell nil phosphorescent I alius think of mother in a light sea under a black sky. like It was that night, when our tug run Into tho wreck by accident I Jumped first on board. The poor hulk lay flush with the swell, lifting and falling Just enough to roll the thin green water, all bright specks, across and across the deck. Mother was there, her bare arm reaching out, her left hand lifting her skirt, her face looking up, dreaming as sho turned, and turned, and swayed, In a slow dance. It's what they calls a waltz, and seems, as I stood watching, I'd almost see tho music swaying her 'as sho wovo circles, water of stars pour ing over hor bare feet Seems though tho music stopped, and sho camo straight to me. Speaks llko a 111' small girl. "Oh. mummy," sho says, "look," and draws her hands apart so, Just as If sho was showing a long rib bon, "watered silk," eho mutters, "only nine cents a- yard. Oh, mayn't L mayn't L mummy?" And there was dad, with all that water of stars, washing across and across him. (Continued in Tuesday's Issue.) iniON mm ln ...V'teCi5' :r..
