Bwada ana tlM. wboBMiac *1 have never yet seen • ghoit, hot I think I have been taken foraghoet. auid nnliw I un ont of my reckaoiug thexe'e a man, U he is atill alive, who lias been haant- ])y me tbeae 30 yean." So aaid an intelli- gent lookms man who repres anted himaelf aa the Momid mate of an East- Indian clip- per one day recently in the office ot a South atreet chandler ahop. There was mnch in the rematk to excite cnrioaity, and the man who had undergone the straogs experience referred to was begged to spin his yam, which Le readily consented to do. 'AboQt thirty yers affo â€" ^perhapa more," he began. "I was in Ljndoii, where I land- ed a lad of 15 after my first voyage. It was the time of the gold fever oat in An trilia, but I wasn'taoxioos then to go to the diggings ao I shipped on a b uk of about 800 tons that was boond for S ngapore. The skipper was the greatest tyrant I have ever sailed under, and his mate was nearly as bai as him. Both w^re ifiogliahmen, I am sorry to say, because I'm-Eaglish myself. The se- cond mate was a decent enough fellow, I thought, but he didn't ssem to be of much account on board, Tbe skipper and the mate thrashed me every coir and then, but I was a hardy youngster, tni managed to stand it. Tbe cbap whb came in for the moat thrashings was a Spanish sailor we called Antone, He took tbe lickingg quiet- ly, but at times he looked mighty reveoge- niL There was a big, heavy-built sailor that we called Pete the Swede. S)meho«r neither the mate or captain ever tackled him. Early one afternoon, when we had got into the Straits of Malacci, and were, as we un- derstood, within leaa than a day's sail of Singapore. Antone dropped a bucket of alnah on the clean deck. The skipper and mate knocked him down and, springmg up- on him, and began to pound him. Sudden- ly the skipper aprang up and I saw blood {porting ont of a gash in his side.^ He stag- gered forward oh his knees, and, seizing hia own knife, planged it into Antcne. The latter was then struggling with the mate. Several of the watch ran up and pulled the two apart. Bat there was a wound near the heart of the mite which had been mace by the knife of Antone, The latter was stone dead, and the skipper and mate never spoke again. The mate did not live 10 minutes, N while the i kipper died within thirty min- utes. "The second mate was called on dack by one of the sailors, but he did not get up in time to see the stabbing. All hands, cf course, debated as to what we should do. The second mats was entitled to take com- mand, but he had little to say in the mat- ter. Pete the Swede did all the ordering, and every one obeyed him. We had been running close to the wind, but Pete had the yards squared and we stood in toward the shore. We all went aft i o that the man at the wheel could have his say in the coun- cil of war. The crew were divided, Pete and the majority wanted to Ecutfla the bark and to divide the money in the cabin, and to leave it to be supposed that the bark had been lost )n a storm. The second mite agreed with Pete. The caiptnter said that we ought to keep on our regular course rn- til we fell in with a pilot and to report the killing of the skipper and mate. Pete aaid our story would never be bslieve?. We i^uld probably all be arrested, and perhaps hanged on the charge of mutiny. The Citr- penter had only the steward, cook, one able seaman, and my si If to back him,^ while Pete and the second mate had eight men besides themselves ou their side. We were rapidly getting in toward the sbore, but we were leaving the track of other vessels and of the pilots. The carpenter protested against this, but Pete kept on jaat the same. Short- ly iifterwards soundingo showed about 10 fathoms of water, end Pets ordered one of the cnchors.to be l^t go. The sails was simply clewed up, and no attempt was made to furl them. Ihe matter w»a talked over again, but the carpenter's party still held ont. Pete went into the cabin and bant open the locker wheie the money wai kept. He said that there waii several thousand pounds, and tl at we had only got to divide it up evenly. Tbe carpenter called us that were backing h:m to one tide and told us that we bad better pietend to give in. I noticed at the time tbat Pete and some of his men were locking at us suspicioasly, "Wa agreed to tbe carpenter's pioposal with the understanding that as aeon as we got in to Singapore to report the matter to the proper ant: orities. Pete aaid that be- fore we divided the money we had batter lo«rer the long boat and drop it astern. Weights were then made fast to the holies of the three dead men and they were drop- ped ovei board, aad the deck where they did the killing was washed up. It was getting near dcrk, and Pete said tbat we could not very well scutile the bark btfore morn)ng, and pioposed that we should break into tbe stores and get a drink or two. Then I felt myself suddenly seized fron behind. I was overpowered and my handa tied. I looked around and saw that the carpenter and hia other three bickers were in the same fix. We were walked to the forward hatch, which was opened and ware puahed down into tbe hold. Pete the Swede said as he put down the hatch over us 'I don't want to kill you fellows., but I can't trust jou if we hit on a plan to night for saving you we'll give you a chance when we Ecattle the ba) k ' Then we found our- selves in the dark, Wa knew tbat we were in a tight fix. birt while there was life there waa hcpe. We turned to and helped one another until we got our hands free. Then we sat down on tbe boxes of car^o and talk ed our case over. We coald hear occasional yells, which s owed us that the mt n had got at the whisky and « ere making the most of it. The steward aaid there v as :» good deal of it in the cabin, and he waa afraid that the men wouldn't be apt to deal kindly with na while they were in li- quor. "The hold was filled with bales and boxea of cargo up to within a few feet of the for- ward end where a bulkhead of heavy boxes left a place where you could climb down in- to the fore peak. Here we suppose! was where they voald go to work to acnttle the baik. 'I wish I had my tools here,' said the Ciiirpenter. 'Wbat good would they do you â€"would yon acnttle the bark now ' aaked the cock, 'No,' aaya the cai^nter, ' but I could cut a hole thiough the p'anking hera for one of us to crawl through, and swim aft to the boat. Then he could bring her abound here, and we could all climb out into her and e8?ape.' The cook seized the carpenter and aaid, 'I taw them patting in the cargo at London, and they stowM right down hereaboat ttrenty ra-pmters' cheats.' In jaat one second we five wre groping around for that soirt of cargo. 1 1 aboiit two minntea the carpenter found a che»t nnder some balei. We got this ont and broke it ^en, and the oarpenter felt for the took' he waLtMl. 'We mast wait a bit.' said he •tfaeyllaU be dead drunk in a Uttle while, and n} one will be on tha lookoat.' The ahonts of Pete's gang toya stopped alto- gether. Tiien the carpenter slid down in- to the fore peak with his tools. He decid- ed on a spot widch he thought waa a little above watermark and went to work. It t03k him »ome time to start a place for hia aaw to b^gin work. In the meantime we listened, naiy to warn him In case any of Pete'a gang oame to the fore hatch- The carpenter'a aaw was music to na. Finally we saw a ray of what lookei like light, al- though it was long after dark. We all chmbiBd down into the fore peak, and the cook undreamed, and, putting a knife in his teath, got through the hole the car punter had made and dropped into the wat«r and 8 nam away. It seemed aa age while we listetel for the soncid of an oar. Frequent- ly water would dash through the ho!e on to us, but we paid no attention to it. Finally the sound of an oiu: reached ua, and the cook came round with the boa*;, into which we ail got. Ha told us tbat he had cut the painter close to the beat. Then we rjwed away. I'll never forget the black hull of that bark as it looked when we bej^an to draw away from it. "There vtas a little bread and water in the boat, bat no coroptss, and no one knew the coast. We soon reated on oar oars and drifted about. It waa probably then a little before midnight. It was clear, but no mcon was ont. Toward morning the sea grew rough and we bad to bail out the boit with oar hats several times. As aoon as day broke we began to look about for some paiaing vessel. The Lnd seemed to lay about aa it did the afterncoo before, and we steered toward it. In a moment one of na noticed two poles sticking out of the water. We got nearer to them and could make out the fore and main royal masts of the bark. We could tell t hem oy the gilt balls at the ends. The bark was scuttled and the hole we made had done done the business. *They might have done it themselves,' said the carpenter. 'Nob as long as the whisky lasted,' said the steward. WecoQcluded that the men bal lenained in a drunken stupor until the ship in sink ing, had heeled over to one side, and then water had filled the cabin, drowning every one there. We agraed that we did not in- tend to drown the fellows and oar coa- iciencea did njt trouble ua. The carpenter might have cut tl e hole a litt e higher up, but we all thought be ourht to be excused for his mistake. And we dicn't mourn much for Pete and his gani;. We got in close to the shoi e, but found no pk ce where we tbought it sale ti land. So we rowed akng beeping the land in sight, until it w£s nearly evening, when we fonnd our- selves apprcaching tie harbor of Singapore. "A sailing vessel came along and we bailed her. The C .ptain agreed \o tahe ua in tow, and aiked cv questions. He may have taken us lor a pleasure p^rty which we were nyr. The vessel dropped i nchor well in the harbor, but it was late at nght befcra we reiched the quay. We agnei to say nothing about the loas of the bark to any one until we had rtpiirted to tbe af ent, whose name the steward knew. We weie miking inquiries along a street fronting en the water when the carpie^ter t o'nted out a public house on the corner a little vay ahead and told me to ask the pt o pie there if they knew where our agent could be found. As I cune up to the pub- lic house I mistook the window oa the side street for the door. The latter was on the main street, But as tl e latter waa open I looked in. At the bar stood a large man drinkinK. I looked at him closely and saw that it waa Pate the Swede. He laid down h-'s glasa and glinced toward the window jutt cutjde of wiicn I so id. Wiien be aaw me his eyea te^mea to stick out of his head and hia hair teemed to itaud oa end while he al ook like a leaf. I stood lotkin, at him. I was frightened out of my acLses and I^muat h^ve stood like a b?o k of stone •raghoat. I didn't know whether to cry out or run. P^te looked at me for a few seconds i.nd then backed slowly away, keep- ing his eyes on me till he reastaed the door. Then I heard sti pj ai if some one was run n ng. I waitedf ora moment and then went in to the pnbl c house and aaked if any one knewjwnere our ageat stopped. No one there did.I we nt back to thecarpeuter and told hiui what I had seen. We coLcluded that the whole gang had escaped. We kt pt up our feirch until nearly morning before we coo Id find the agent. We told our story, and he tried to have Pate and his gang s r' rested. All the vessels bound for Australia were searched during the htxs d»y, but we aHerv arda fOond that Pete and his fellows paid their pissage oa a s'lip bound for E irope, whicb sailed early in the mirning alter I had appeared to Pete the Swede. That made it seem as if the fel oas had got away with the moaey in the cabin. The agent gave as our wa^es and shipped us on a bark bound to Melbourne, Where we separ- ated, all but the cock and I going to the diggings. We made up our minds that the fellows come to just b Jore the bark sunk, ana that they launched one of the other boats, ttinking that the piincer of the one lowered the day befoie bad parted. Ttey probably thought the ba k had in swinging struck a rock, and that we were still in the fore hold when the bark went c'own. They conk n't have dretmed of onr cutting our wiy out. They knew the coast better than we, so that a'HMnnted for their getting into Sing!p re before as. ' Pete must have taken me for a gl ost as I stood in the daik jaat cutaide the window of the lighted t p.-oom of the public house. Somehow the re J facts abeut the less of the vessel didn't get out. It waa generally believed that she was wrecked. And I believe that Pete and the fellows of his gang'took care afterwards to give a wide bertb to Singapore, and| rarely said anything to strangers about the voy^e that came so near winding up with the drowning of them. And I have no doubt, up to the present dsy, if he's alive, Pete tbe Swede oncema while sees jaat outside aome pub- lic house window the ghost of a lad in whose death he believes he bote a hand."

Many of you koow about optieal lUvsions and the carioui misthkes wbich the eye sometimes ii»iliea conoerning an object at which it if lioking; but few of us know how fn q J n ly we onrselvei are the victims of op icfcl illusions of one sort or snother. The fact is, we see neaily ai much with our experience ai we see with our eyes. We kcow an obj ct to be of a certain ferm in one position, and of a certain color in one light and we are too apt to fancy that we see it of that form and coW in all positions and lights regardless tf t'le fact that, seen from an- other stand point, t:)e contour ot it may ap- pear entirely diffatent, and that a differe'nt light may tot.^ Uy change the color of it. We all know that the actual color of claan boots is black, and a beginner in paintiiig almost always paints them perfectly black, wher-^- as the direct rays of the sun or of an artifi- cial light may make them appear nearly white in parts, while it they be placed near some bright substance, such as a pioce of nrange- peei, or a crimson sea f, tbey will n flact the ceilur of thit object, and so become orange or red in parts and ai expert painter would so represent them. We hear people speak of "the white of the eye," and beginners with the brash often gives very ghastly express ion to their attempts at portraiture by paint- ing the whits of tne eye pare white where- as owing to the prcjecton cf the brows, the lids, and the lashes, it ia often thrown into deep shade, and may be even darker than some o! the fleah tints. Now, if their ees were trained like those of a skilled art- ist, they would know the trun color of all o'jects they beheld. Bat this is the very hardest thing an artist has to leain, namely, to know really what he does see. In coloring almost everyth'ng depends upon the nature of tbe light. A white band- kerchief ia bl^k In a dark room. An e xcel- lent aid to the study of color is to take a white card, and with your paints try to match on it some tint in any oil-painting, chromo, or even colored fabric which you miy have. Then cut a small hole in tbe cird adjoining your tint, and place the card over the tint you have copied, so that you can see it through the hole, side by side with your own attempt. Ihen you will see at once how nearly you have matched the tint.
