He soon lound the ‘tavem,’ the ‘deacon’ and ordered aecom-‘ modntions, liberally ‘darning thel ‘expense.’ Having ‘ slicked up’ a little, he witnessed the operations of a servant on the gong simply re- markingr that. ‘ he Imow'd what1 sheet lightnin’ was. but this was the lust time he‘d ever heerd of sheet thunder.’ He followed the crowd into the dining-hall, and was ushered to a seat where he @30- sconeed himself. tucking his towel under his chin with a sort of des- peration as if he was going to, be shaved or scalped.

[ heard that as soon as he came to the island he was to have the business.’ " ‘ Indeed !’ cried the captain. ‘But you know sir,’ answered the mate, ' that these youngsters are never so strict as the old ones ’ ‘ What’s that to me ?’ interrupted lhe caplain, in so captions a man- ner lhal the male looked up as it he lhought it was a great deal‘ to the passionate man. ' The male knew that Captain Johnson had got the ship with the utmost difï¬culty. There had been such reports about his cruelly and violent temper, that it was not eaay to ship crews for the vessel whlch he commanded. But the owner of our ship was an easy old man dis- posed lobe lenient, t0 the captain‘s faults, and the latter had. after re- peated efforts, succeeded in getting command of the shi-p. IL is difï¬cult,llle1‘efore, to com- prehend the state of the captain’s mind, when he ‘co'nte'mplaled Ihe substitution of the son for the fth- er. The son might discharge him immediately on the return of the ship to Nantucket. There was nothing agreeable, therefore, to Captain Johnson, in change ofown- ers. The mate well understood that he had disturbed the captain's mind by speaking of the old man's withdrawal from business, and hastened to change the subject. ‘ There must be discipline on board ihe vessel,’ said he; " and i‘m thinking we have some prelly tough slicks to handle.â€" There's that Alpheous Bailvy has a lurkng devil in Ihe corner of his eye ' A muliuous (10g, Mr. Barney-L a mulinous dog!

It was not so difï¬cult, however to account for the fact, that the crew-generally looked with an evil eye upon that young n0vice: for he was not'only ignorant of scaman- ship but was also disinclined to work, and took matte-rs very easy. He had little to say to an} of us. and yet he seemed to see and hear evurything that passed on board. Evary movement, whether of the crew or of the ofï¬cers was watched with the closest scrutiny. ‘7, Take the slush bucket up and slush down all masl,’ said the male to one morning, just as we sight ofJuan Fernandez. spark is sufï¬ce‘nt 10 kindle a great ï¬re. ‘Alpheus look the bucket and proceeded 10 work in the most leisurally manner. It was night be~ fore he ï¬nished _lhe job. Alpheus said nothing. though several of the crew grinned at him as iflhey coincided entirely with Ihc’ mate. Before he had reached the Sandâ€" wicl: Islands, however, the continu- ed illâ€"usage on board the ship had served '10 combine the crew more closely together; and even the hauleur and laziness ofAIpheus were forgotten. Yet a hearty laugh was raised at the expense of lhe young man; when one of their numberexpeclcd punishment,Alphâ€" 6115 had promised to usehis influ' ehce in favour of his downeast Ship-male. ‘Now ain’t you a skquâ€"a lub; bery hound!‘ said the ofï¬cer, as Alpheus came do .vn from aloft. We were lying at Honolulu ; the sailor had run away, and had burn caught and brought on board the ship by several natives employ- ed to ferret out deserlers from among the mountains. The poor fellow was in irons, and as the captain had promised to (log him within an inch at his life, the prospect was not as ambrosial as lhe poet’s dream. ' Never mind, Bob I willdo what I can for you,’ sald Aiphcus, con- solingiy. There was a general roar, and even poor Bob could not help smil- ing. as he knew {hat Alphens was the last man in the ship whose word would have any influence wnh the captain or indeed be 01' any value lo-anv one else on board. Alpheus showed no more emo- tion than a porpoise at. a camp meeting. Nobody was surprised at that. We had become acquaintâ€" ed with his peculiarities ; but when, on the next morning, captain came on boad, in a towering pus- sion and roared like a mad butt for the offending Bob, and ordered him to be seized up in the riggings and flogged, we all turned our eyes up- pon Atpheus, and wondered what his tcxzierity might attempt. Bob Was stripped to the buff, and seized up in the main riggings by me males. . - The captain stepped forward, with a piece of rattling in his hand, to commence the flogging. To our utter amazement, Alpheus walked boldly up to the captain, snatched the rope from his hand. and draw- ing out his sheath knife. began to cut the mailings by which Bob’s limbs were bound. Captain Johnson stepped back one pace, and fairly frolhed at the moulh. whiie the males ran up lo coilar the audacious youth. ‘ Lay a ï¬nger on me ifvou dare,’ cried Alpheus to the ofï¬cers, in a tone of haughty deï¬ance, and as- suming an altitude that would have done credit to Forrest Mac-ready in their favorite Carolinas. The mates hesitated. ‘ Seize the mulmous scoundrel 3’ shouted Captain Johnson. ‘ Knock him down with a cleaver! Break his skull !’ I and go the top Alpheus have in As I had overheard 'Ihe, gpnversa- tion between the captain and the male in lhe’Gulf, I found liitlle;di'f-'- ï¬culty in recognizing in Aliyiheus the young collegianâ€"lhe son ot the ownerâ€"u ho had 121an a; -._r0mantio notion to ship as a cornmon sailor, and see for himself hng the men were treated by Ca'ï¬tain Johnson.
