A Mystery of the Sea.
lONCLVIlEI).
lt OOK here, Deroll," snld lie, In a
lj cheery way, " It's just the fortune
of the eea, and you've got to make the
best of It. I dare say now Captain Gor
ham will give you and your two men a
passage home in the ship, as he Is bo
very short-handed, and may even agree
to see that you are paid wages for work
ing your passage, If that isany object.
But the ship and cargo are certainly a
partial loss, at least, to her owners, and
to you, and the salvors must have their
share first of all out of the heap."
Captain Deroll, finding himself alone,
was compelled to submit to his fate,
though with an ill grace; and one of
the boats being sent back to the Draco,
an adjournment was made to the cabin
of the bark, where a series of mutual
explanations followed, though without
fully clearing up the mystery.
It appeared that the three boats of the
Bohemia, in charge, respectively, of
Captain Deroll and his two mates, had
been lowered In pursuit of sperm whales
ou the day Indicated by the last entry
made in the log-book.
The bark was left In the care of old
Beott, the ship-keeper, he having the
cooper, the black cook, aud two Portu
gese boys to assist him in working her.
A whale had been taken during the
forenoon, and secured alongside, but
as more were in sight, it was determined
to go In pursuit of them, deferring the
operation of cutting In. The captain's
boat struck another whale whicMi proved
to be a racer, and ran him several miles
to windward at such a rate that the
other two boats were unable to get near
him, and the last time that Captain
Deroll had noticed them, they were
still far to leeward of him, aud tugging
away at their oars. After this, he made
up his mind to go alone at any risk ;
and after a hard aud long siege, he suc
ceeded In checking the speed of his
whale by a mortal wound. But now,
for the first time he became conscious of
what, in the excitement of his work he
had not.b?erved, that a fog-bank had
crept downfytCP him, and the Bhlp was
hidden from view.- Still he hung on a
while longer, hoping the- mist might
lift again, for It was hard to givB-l'o and
lose the whale now, after all thestruJe
for victory ; but night was closing In,
nothing could be seen, and no Bound
could be heard In response to frequent
blasts of his own fog-horn. He was
driven to the mortifying necessity of
cutting from his prize ; and now shap
ing his course with the best judgment
he could, by the little boat-compass, and
the wind, he began this tedious search
for the ship.
But from that hour he had never seen
either the Bohemia or the other boats.
As shown by the log-book, the Bohemia
was at that time several degrees south of
the position where she had been picked
up by the Endeavor, but was, neverthe
less, north of the usualjcruislng-grouud.
Captain Deroll knew that there were
several vessels cruising between him
and the islands, and his best chance of
safety lay in making his way southward
so if he did not meet a vessel he could)
certainly make the land in a few days.
After suffering much from hunger and
exhaustion, he was picked up by the
Draco, which having spoken with
several other vessels, and heard nothing
of the Bohemia, left for another cruis-ing-ground
more to the westward. She
had distributed a part of the men into
the other whalers, as usual in such cases
so that only two beside Captain Deroll
now remained. They had done ship's
duty with the Draco's crew, and as the
mate bad met with an injury, and was
temporarily off duty, Captain Deroll
had volunteered to take charge of his
boat, and thus had chanced to be so near
his own ship as to recognize her at
sight.
He had up to this time felt no con
cern about the safety of the Bohemia,
orofhererew. Mr. Clark was a com
petent man to take charge of her, aud
the captain expected in a few weeks to
return in the Draco to Fayal, where he
would, doubtless, find his own, vessel
waiting for him, since the mate would,
of course, have learned that he and his
boat's crew were safe, and on board
other vessels of the fleet.
The statement of Got ham as to the
place and circumstances of the finding
seemed a strange one, but there was the
log-book before him with his mate's
handwriting up to the fatal date ; then a
blank of three weeks, after which the
entries were resumed in a new hand,
and at a point six degrees further north.
The bark must have been all that time
lying aback on the northern tack, with
whale in the fluke-chain, and not a
living soul on board. It was easy
enough to believe that the other boat's
crew had, like himself, been lost in the
fog ; but it was unaccountable that all
the shlpkeepers five in number, should
have left the vessel. But they bad done
so of course, for the Bohemia had cat
ried a spare boat on her cranes, and tlitk
too was gone when she was fallen In
with.
There would have seemed to have
been some rashness or Imprudent man
agement, and perhaps some day It might
be explained, for It was not probable
that seventeen men In three boats had
all perished.
The alternative now offered to the
unfortunate captain and his two men,
was either to go home on sufferance in
his own ship or to return to Fayal In
theaco. Ilia wisest course was to
take Captain Nickerson's advice and
follow the fortunes of the Bohemia,
though to his peculiar nature the Idea
of going home in her In this Ignoramus
way was galling enough. He listened
to reason at last however, and as there
was a prospect of a breeze springing up,
the Draco meu returned to their own
vessel, leaving him and his men
behind.
With this timely re enforcement,
Gorham felt strong-hauded enough to
sail as he wished, and the voyage across
the Atlantic was made without further
adventures worthy of note. The two
subordinates were Jolly enough and
seemed to fall into their old places quite
naturally ; but the old skipper was mo
rose and sullen most of the time, despite
all the efforts of Gorham to rouse him
into a different state of feeling. The
very Idea of a ship master being per
mitted to work his passage home on
board his own ship in this humiliating
way I
" Why, I feel," he said, " like a prls
oner of war, with my ship In the
enemy's hands. Yet I never abandon
ed ray ship. I may Bay that she aban
doned me."
As Boon as the Bohemia arrived off
Bandy Hook, and took a pilot, Captain
Deroll slipped quietly away, and hasten
ed immediately to New Bedford to report
to his owners.
The bark was turned over to the care
of the packet-line agents, and all the
crew were held as witnesses. In the
adjustment of the case, it was consider
ed that the vessel aud cargo had been
most effectually lost to her owners at
the time she was picked up, and the
salvors were justly awarded the llon'B
share of the whole property. Gorham
pocketed a handsome sum as his pro
portionate share ; and, as it never rains
but it pours, while he was being detain
ed as a witness, a vacancy was opened
ty.yhlch he got command of the fine
ship JYcVv'j belonging to the same
line of packetsltSslJje Endeavor, and,
on the return voyage,1)rou8ht homo
the faithful English mafn as his
wife.
But the more tragic part of the sl&ty
was not explained until several montbi
later, aud even then but obscurely. A
French merchant-vessel passing across
the North Atlantic had picked up the
wreck of a whale boat with one man
nearly starved, clinging to her bottom,
having been several days in that mis
erable situation. The poor wretch was
kindly cared for, and landed at Brest ;
and after a series of wanderings, at last
he reached his home In the Azores, and
proclaimed himself the sole survivor of
the Bohemia, not then knowing the
captain and his boat's crew had been
rescued. His thrilling story, as given
to the American consul, was that the
mate and second mate giving up the
chase of the captain had struck another
whale, which stove one of the boats so
that she filled and sunk. That the
other boat having also had a small hole
knocked In her, and being overcroweded
with twelve men was also In a sinking
condition ; and being then not far from
the ship the most frantio signals were
made for relief. That old Scott, on the
impulse of the moment, lowered away
the spare boat, and imprudently called
all hands into her, leaving the bark to
take care of herself. With a short-handed
and insufficient crew, the boat made
but slow progress to windward,and even
before they reached their comrades, the
stoven boat had filled under them and
rolled over; and just then the fog-bank
shut down around them, hiding the
ship from view. Here now were seven
teen souls depending for safety upon a
single frail boat, and in the midst of the
confusion that followed, she also filled
and overturned. The struggle for life
was fearful, as the poor lad described It.
Some were drowned Immediately, and
one by one they dropped off Into watery
graves.
The wrecked boats drifted apart from
each other, and the next day there were
still three alive beside Anlonie upon the
one, while the other was not to be seen
wheu the fog cleared away. To add to
the agony of their situation they could
see the Bohemia not many miles distant
and still forging away from them. Some
unavailing attempts were made to roll
the boat up again, as they hoped to be
able to ball her out, but In their feeble
and exhausted state this was found im
possible, and they abandoned themselves
to despair.

Into Hie plug hole in the boat's bottom
and clung to his station mechanically
as by the mere Instinct of life, but his
mind had been nearly blanks and he
had little or no Idea of the lapse of
time.
In time this deposition of poor Anto
nle reached the United States, and was
published In the Journals of the day.
This was the key that uulocked the
mystery ; and the statement of the Por
tugese boy was doubtless true in all
essential particulars.
Defeated l)y His Own Witness.
A COMICAL event and one worth
relating occurred, not long Blnce,
before Trial Justice Bpoflbrd. A certain
physician, who shall be nameless,
brought sultagalnstu man who had been
his patient, for the recovery of the
amount of fees charged In his bill. The
patient pleaded, In defence, that the
doctor had visited him many times after
he was entirely well ; or, at least, that
he the patient had declared that he
did not need him. lie was willing to
pay for those visits which had been
made while he was really sick ; but not
for visits which had been persistently
made after1 he was Just the same as well.
He had been blessed with the attend
ance of a good and faithful nurse, who
could have carried him safely through
his convalescence ; and to whom, he
really believed he owed his recovery.
Upon this the doctor chuckled glee
fully. Bald he :
" Your Honor, I will prove by this
man's own nurse, oT whose faithfulness
he boasts, that she considered him not
entirely out of danger at the time of
which he speaks the time of the visits
for which he refuses to pay."
The nurse was summoned forthwith
and Bhe made her appearance and was
sworn. She was a good-looking kind
faced, intelligent woman a widow of
middle age, and of good standing in
society.
"Mrs. Blinker, you attended upon
the defendant in this case, during his
recent Illness V"
Bhe answered that she did.
Then the plaintiff's attorney took her
In hand.
" Mrs. Blinker, do you remember the
condition of the patient from the fif
teenth to the twenty-fifth day of April,
last past V"
" Yes, sir I remember very well."
" Aud do you not think that, during
that time, he required the attendance of
a physician V"
"I did not, sir."
" Now 1 Did you not say more

" Yes,Blr-I said that."
" And yet, you now tell us that he
required no physician V I don't quite
understand you."
" Well, Bir, said Mrs. Blenker, w ith
a firm, steadfast look, " I think I can
explain It. I said the man was In
danger, because I considered any man to
be in danger while that doctor was giv
ing him medicine 1"
Mrs. Blinker was allowed to step
down ; and in the end, the doctor was
induced to cut his bill down one-half.
He feared an appeal to the Supreme
Court, with a ventilation of Mrs. B.'s
testimony before a jury.

went to her from Edgefield to get a cure
for his rheumatism. She performed
some mummery over him, annointed
his rheumatic arm, and the pain ceased.
She assured him that he had been " con

he could not be permanently cured until
he shed some of that person's blood.
Her directions to Joe for dlscoverng the

his acquaintances, noting whose hand
he held when a twinge came into his
arm. Joe went to church, and did a
great amount of hand shaking before
the services began. His arm gave warn

Joe went home, procured a long knife,
hid it in his sleeve, returned to the
church, and plunged the weapon Into
Andy's heart. Whether this would
have brought about the cure promised
by Old Nell cannot be determined, for
the patient has been hanged.
