RIVER PIRATES OF THE OLD DAYS A Thrilling Adventure of the Past Century. Uurlug the early part of the last ceil- wrjr many families were emigrating from Virginia to Kentuc ky. Their usu- ,u (.ou((; wug dowu tjJ ouo riT(jr by j rr,.ans of fiatboats. AmoMK tl)e emigrants of that day WIIH colonel Alan Mac.Miiin of Scotch- Irish descent. His flat boat load con sisted, besides stores, of his wife and daughter and three men and two wom en negro slaves. Tue colonel's right I hand man was an enormously strong uegro. whose strength had won him the name of Titan, though he wag fa miliarly called Tlte. The Ohio and Mississippi rivers were infested in those duys by some very rough people. Piracy was not uncom mon, and there was no government force to check it One day when the emigrant party were Hearing a settle ment which is now the city of Louis ville tbey saw a boat put off from the Uiore and head directly for them. As miiiii us it drew near it was plain its occupants were bent on no good. They were a hard featured lot. dressed in coon skin caps and buckskin clothes, and were all armed with rifles and pis tols. However, the settlers were often thus dressed, and Colonel MacMInn wns not sure of these men until tbey hud boarded his boat. Then they at once took possession and ordered him and his family below, where they were placed under guard. The negro men tbey required to work the boat. The slaves were all devoteS to their muster and his family, and went about their work with no cheerful disposi tion. Tlte declared that he was de lighted with the capture, since by serv ing the pirates be might earn his free dom. This surprised his fellow slaves, but us soon ns he was able be told them that this was to prevent suspicion, and he would watch for un opportunity to recapture the boat. The pirates, seven in number, soon lifter taking their prize found them selves In what nre called the falls of the Ohio, a port of the river where the current Is very rapid. It was night mill a very dark night. Their captain '.van somewhat anxious as to the safety of the property he had become possess ed of. though he cared nothing for hu man life. Among the stores on the lioat was a barrel of rum. which his men appropriated. Tlte watched them. Imping that they would get stupid, but they stood an enormous quantity of liquor mid were rather inclined to dunce and sing on deck. Their cap tain cursed them for Idiots, then Ignor ed them, trusting to Tlte and the two negroes to rmvlgnle the hunt. Tlte passed the word to bis fellow luves that he was about to attack l lie pirates, and they promised to help him Slnco the blacks were without nny ut'iiis wlmtever, the attempt was hazardous and If unsuccessful would result in their death and possibly that of the family When Tlte spoke the Idriites were separated, but before he could net two of them hud Joined the upturn. However, Tite made up bis mind to proceed. Approaching the captain as if to iiiiike a suggestion, be seized biro around the body. The other two men, quickly taking warning, sprung for Tite and endeavored to pull him off. One of them drew a pistol, but dropped It on the deck. While he was looking for It Tlte succeeded in kicking bin comrade ln Uie stomach, which para lyzed his efforts, and the negro, putting forth all his gigantic strength, raised the captain in his arms and threw httn Into the river. Then, taking up the man he bad kicked, he served him like wise. Hy this time the man looking for his pistol found it. but Tite seized it mid sliot him dead. Meanwhile the other two negroes, whose enemies were separated, ran to the neatest pirate, seized him and threw hi iii overboard The other two, seeing danger, got together and were attacked by the two blacks. One of the blacks was wounded by a shot, and the other was gettiug the worst of it when Tlte came up nd, seizing first one pirate, then the other, threw both overboard. At the moment the man on guard below, having heard the scuf fling, came out and was served ln the same manner All this haff scarcely been accom plished when the captain was discov ered climbing over the stem, but Tite pushed him back into the river. Two others of the pirates attempted to climb aboard, but they were served in Hie same maimer. The colonel, being left unguarded, now came up from below, expecting that the pirates had concluded to mur der the party and had commenced with the negroes. When he found that the boat was hi possession of bis faithful slaves, that the lives of himself and his family had been saved, his grati tude knew no bounds. He gave every one of them his freedom on the spot and promised n additional reward in the future. Tile and his assistants successfully navigated the boat to Louisville, and the colonel, who had had eliough of the river and Its dangers, coucluded to stop there. The family went ashore., the stores were unloaded aud the flat (Mint broken up and used to build a dwelling Colonel MacMInn had free pacr mad,, out for the negroes who had saved the party, but the slaves tor, ilicm i,ji Their master was an especially kind man. and they had known no other home than in tils fam ily, so they conclude", that freedom would be of no use to them. .
