A THRILLING SEA ETORY. | In the Month of June, 1869, the ship, | Bea Foam, to which I belonged lay at an- | chor at the harbour at M----. ONTARIO, FRIDAY, OCTOB the cabin where Captain Fraser and Ned Hawkins, the Mate, sat laughing at the trouble the steward had caused me. We had a large amount of treasure con- signed to a banking house in Londen. And had taken the precaution of keoping the whole affair a secret from the crew. After dinner we shut and secured the cabin doors, to prevent intrusion, and then proceeded to dispose of the money where it would be safe, ; Directly beneath the table, and ingeni- ously concealed in the deck, was a secret pannel, that concealed the safe, and open- ing this, we dropped the treasure in, and pulled the table back to ite original posi- tion, Hardly had we finished when the stew- ard knocked for admission. His eyes wore a strange, baffled look ; and seemed to be wondering why the door had-been locked upon him. The next day we were headed about W. N. W,, with hardly wind enough for steer- age-way, and I seated myself idly upon the stern taffrail, and indulged in a pleasant reveri about home. Suddenly I received a powerful blow in the face, and I fell back in the boat which hung on our stern-davits and at the ssme time I heard a shout from our crew that fairly made my heart leap to my throat. The crew had mutinied and seized the boat! , : Quickly recovering my presence'of mind and knowing that I should surely meet death in their hands if successful in their attempt, I drew my revolver, jumping over the rail I singled out a man and fired. With a yell of agony he threw up his arms, then fell back a bleeding corpse shot through the heart. At the same moment, the steward, who I now saw was leader, raised a revolver and fired at me. I felt a tinge of pain in my right-arm as if « red hot iron had touched it, and then it fell useless by my side. Lifting the revolver with my left hand, I was about to fire when I received a blow from behind that felled me to the deck. 'When I recovered consciousness, I found myself securely bound and lying on the cabin floor. Opposite to me, lay Captain Frazer, similary bound, and perceiving that I open- ed my eyes, he said, while he made a faint attempt at a smile: "Well Jack what de you think of this business" Everything about our decks d to Dress Goods, HE SUBSCRIBER BEGS TO ANNOUNCE TO THE INHABITANTS OF 1872.

As sedond Mate of the vessel, I was | busily employed in attending to the ancher | | which had already been hove short. My attention had been already distract- ed from my duties for a moment, by noticing two men in a boat pull along side, one of them sprang lightly on board, and the boat was pulled rapidly away. I gave little heed to the circumstance a at the time, thinking it was a passtnger and resumed my duties. In a few minutes our yards were bra- ced to catch the breeze, and with the an- chor securely catted, we were soon leaving the small town M---- far astern. After seeing everthing snug for'ard, I walked aft, and casually asked the captain who the new comer was. He replied he was a fellow who wished to work his way back to London, where we were then bound, and being unable to per- | form sailor's duties he had placed him in the cabin as steward. Just then the stranger approached us and I had abundant time to study him. His form was bent somewhat with age and his hair already mixed with grey. From his build I should judge that he must have been very powerful in his youth. His eyes,--set back and underneath a pair of bushy eyebrows--were black as night and very restless, and their expres- sion made me feel uneasy, but why I can- not tell. ' He gave me a quick scrutinizing glance, as he passed, and then with a feeble, un- steady step of age, he tottered to the rail gazed over into the sea. A moment after I heard a splash, and looking over the side, I saw a bottle dan- NEW SPRIN AT § G GOOD WM. WILLARD §, TAUNTON. t 'of Incr fully to announce that on iy cing in our wake. 'Some sailor has emptied it of its con- tents, and then thrown it over," was my inward comment, as 1 passed down into the cabin. Little did I imagine at the time what an important part that bottle was to play in the drama which was short- ly to be enacted. in the same position charges it contained, preparity to reload- firing at them as they fell. and seating himself on a coil of rope, he Five minutes afterwards I came on deck again, and found the steward still sitting Wishing to empty my revolver of the ing it, 1 threw some chips over the side "You've but poor luck in shooting," re- { Ireplied that I thought it was a pretty | be in a state of confusion, for we were | bad scrape, and looking round I enquired | where Ned Hawkins was. | "Poor fellow, he has gone to Davy Jones's locker." ""When we were suprised he was stand- ing about ten feet from me, and seeing | their intentions, as they approached, seized a east iron bar, and laid two of them out, but 'they overpowered him at last and threw him overboard." = At the same moment the captain was seized and bound. | Three of the crew was also missing--men who had been with us for five successive voyages, and the captain feared they had met with the same awful fate as our first mate had. Meanwhile everything on deck seemed to be in a state of confusion. There were sounds of feet hurrying to and fro, while' above all I could hear the voice of the steward giving orders in rapid succession, which showed him to be a man used to the sea and tomed to d | Presently I heard him say: "There's that confounded British crui- ser that left the same day as we did, and she heads directly for us. I mustdodge her by all means." . Then his voice rang out quick and sharp; the yards were braced around and we could feel the vessel gaining speed. "We must run for the shore, boys," he said, "lucky that we are in sight of it. That fellow has changed its course ; we must leave the craft, for the cruiser sails two knots to our one,and it will not do for us to be caught you know; keep her as she is," said he, to the man at the wheel; it will be some time yet befere she'll be near =" Calling two of his men he descended to the cabin and stood before us. " You still living," he demanded, turn. ing to me. "1 thought you would have been dead, before this, now tell me where the treasure is, or «lise I'll send a streak of day-light through you," he ssid, drawing out a re- volver from his belt. Exasperated beyond measure at his words 1 replied: "shoot, you coward, I'll tell you i Seeing that I was not to be bullied, he turned to the Captain, but he had again fainted from loss of blood. He could afford to loose no more time in parleying, so they immediateiy began to search the cabin for the treasure, but without success. Turning to me he said: "I will give you your life on condition that you'll tell us ER 18, 1872. "It's no use, boy#" I heard the Pirate Captain say, *' we'll hiave to fight for it."

I then rolled over to where Captain Fra- ger ley, I untied his hands with the aid of my teeth, though it wasa long and tedious operation. * This done he performed the samo office for me, and springing to my feet I picked up my revolver, with my left hand; resolved to kill the pirate, if I could. At that moment he dashed dewn the his revolver and quick e . " A i "You shall die anyhow. The bullet struck my uplifted I again fainted. When I awoke, I found the vessel in the hands of the man-of-wer crew, and beside me on the floor lay the fofm of the pirate captain with the blood streaming from a wound in his breast. -Becing that he had not long to live, he confessed that he was John Battell, or com- monly known as *' Daring Jack," and the leader ofa large and powerful gang of pirates. While ashore he had heard the treasure wasto be conveyed in our vessel, and form- ed his plans .accordingly. He had told the crew of the presence of the tremsure, and induced them to mutiny, And the bottle that was thrown overboard contain- ed his orders to his vessel where to meet him. "It seems that his vessel had desert- od him, after seeing the masi-of-war, and 80 Daring Jack had been left to 'fight his own battle, and had received his death wound from the lieutenant of the man-of- war just at the moment that he fired at It seemes the crusier had noticed the strange way our vessel was acting, and re- solved to follow her up, with what success, the reader has already seen. The mutineers were securely bound, and placed upon the man-of-war, and with a fresh crew from her decks, we proceed- ed on our way happy to think we had so fortunately escaped the " Pirate's Strata- gem." . res @ A WORD TO YOUNG MEN. Somebody once said, "Our Government land cost one dollar an' acre, and good whiskey two dollars a bottle, How many 'men die landless, who, during their lives, have swallowed whole townships--trees and all I" There is food for reflection in this little paragraph. Every day of our lives, and almost every hour of each day, we meet individuals not merely landless, but houselees, homeless, pennyless, who in the course of their lives have swallowed ardent spirits enough to pay for land and house, and have pennies and dollars for their pockets besides. But it is not the drinker of ardent spirits alone who thys deprives himself of the comforts of a home--the to- bacco-chewer, the cigar-smoker, the young man who spends precious hours of each day and evening in worse than listless idleness. How rarely such persons reflect upon the folly of their course. The young man who smokes three five-cent cigars a day--and many of them double the quan- tity at double the price-- puffs away enough in the course of ten years to give a hand- some start in business, or to provide for himself and family a comfortable home. How frequently we hear such persons com- plain of their inability to take a newspaper or a literary magazine, or purchase snin- teresting book. They will tell you they are too poor for that, and yet the next brandy, or for a cigar, a sum sufficient to pay for two papers. And this folly is re- peated perhaps a dozen times in the course of twenty-four hours. Young man, give this subject a moment's reflection. Sit down and calmly think it over, and if, when you have fairly done #80, you conclude that it is better to drink and smoke, go on!
