half ago a British ship, the Helen DoleT
rode at anchor in a bay on the south
ern coast of Jamaica island. She had
come down through the Windward
passage bound for Kingston, but had
been blown by a hurricane past that
port and had drifted into the bay that
lies beyond for the wind had ceased
as suddenly as it bad come, and, being
disabled, the ship was uncontrollable.
Another vessel had met the same ex

a small schooner, the Pelican, under

TOSSED IT ON THE PIBATS'8 DECK.

' A third-ship of a very different shape
from the other two was standing east
ward before a very light breeze. She
was low on the water, and her masts
leaued astern. This and the abundance
of sail she carried indicated that she
bad been built for fast sailing. Sud
denly she veered to the northward and
stood directly in to the bay where the
two vessel were lying.
The crews of the anchored hips
could read only toe plainly what was
Id store for them. Durinj a Ions w
war between England and Spain Brit
ish privateers bad preyed on the Span
ish galleons carrying gold from the
Mexican mines to Spain. The war
had ceased, and privateering bad de
generated into piracy. Every one on
board the Dole and the Pelican knew
that the Incoming veaael bad sighted
them and was intending to destroy
them. They looked upon bur as flies
caught in a web would regard the spi
der advancing to devour them.
And that was the intention of Cap
tain Crocker of the pirate. But. un
fortunately for his purpose to carry out
his design at once, he could not get
near enough to either of them. . The
wind was so light that darkness fell
before he came within range of them,
and then it failed altogether. But
Crocker was not troubled: bis glass
had shown him that bofb ships were
disabled, and be saw no chance of their
escaping him during the night In
the first places there was no wind, and
even if a breeze should spring np and
they could take advantage of it be
could bear the raising of the anchors.
So he dropped bis own not far from
either of them to wait for morning.
On board the Dole was no such quies
cence as on the pirate. There were
men. women and children passengers
who bad come from England to settle
In Jamaica. For them as well as the
officers and crew was every prospect of
death as soon as day came. Men were
praying; women were bugging their
children to their breasts; the sailors
were standing about gloomily. There
was- not a cannon aboard. - They had
some muskets and cutlasses, but what
would these avail? At any show of re
sistance the pirate could stand off and
sink the ship by broadsides.
Nevertheless Captain Seymour of the
Dole ordered the men to bring up what
arms there were, with a view to repel
ling those who might attempt to board
him. bis object Iwsing to force the
pirate to sink the ship with her guns
and thus save the women from any
worse fate than death. He divided the
urnm among ihe men and assigned
each man to Ms station.
The night was still, and both the
pirates and those on the little Pelican
ould hear the sounds of distress that
came from the Dole. Now it would be
a prayer, now a wail, now the cry of
a child. None of these moved the pi
rates, who were hardened to them, but
they caused the crew of the Pelican
to forget their own coming death in
sympathy with these defenseless be
ings on the neighboring ship.
Spencer, who was but twenty-five
years old. beard the wails, and they in
cited his brain to action. But what
could he do to avert the calamity? He
bad some armament, but not enough to
protect his owu vessel, to say nothing
of the Dole. He had two six-pounder
guns, one on the port, the other on the
starboard bow, and be bad painted his
ship's side to represent openings for
ordnance, his object being to make it
appear tTiati'e was uruied with twen
ty gnus instead of two. But the pirate
would soon discover bis deficiency, and
with more uns than Spencer feigned
to have and of higher caliber be could
make short work of the Pelican.'
"We'll light him. boys." said Spencer
to his crew, "and we have one ad
vantagewe won't have to walk the
plank. As soon as one of ber shots
strikes our blasting powder we'll go to
Davy Jones' locker."
But bis active Yankee brain during
the whole of that fearful night never
ceased trying to find some way to cir
cumvent the pirate that be might save
ail the lives that were to be sacrificed
on the morrow. When daylight came
all of the crew of the Dole and many
of the passengers were on deck. There
was a ghost of a hope for them in the
Pelican, for they had been deceived
by ber painted ports. The first object
that stirred on the pirate was a man
walking to the stern. When he reach
ed it be hauled up a ball of bunting
and broke tbe skull and crossbones.
Those on the Dole shuddered. Then
men appeared here and there, some of
them carrying - arms from point to
point One of them, who appeared to
be the captain, stood on the poop deck
giving orders. V
The Pelican lay perfectly still, but
presently men were seen raising her
anchor. This evidently attracted the
pirates attention. Suddenly a puff of"
smoke broke from ber bow, and a shot
went skipping toward the schooner.- &.
gun boomed on tbe latter ship.. Excla
mations denoting hope came from those
on the Dole. Would there be a fight?
But no. The pirate fired several shots
and elicited no reply. The only com
fort for those on the Dole was that
the Pelican would be first destroyed.
The Pelican's single shot was in ac
cordance with a plan laid by Captain
Spencer after midnight a plan yet lit
tle more than a hope. His object in
firing at the pirate was simply to indi
cate that he had better dispose of the
Pelican before attending to the Dole.
Such was Captain Crocker's decision.
Having got up his anchor and having
failed to elicit any more firing from
the schooner, he prepared to go to her
and take possession.
Those on the Dole saw with agony
that the Pelican must soon be taken. All
on board would be dispatched or forced
to walk the plank, and then the pirate
would do tbe same by those on the
British ship. Some went below to tell
the others that there was no hope;
others remained to see a slaughter that
would soon be visited upon themselves.
The pirate hoisted a Jib and foretop
sail. which gave her headway enough
to take her to her victim. The latter
had raised her anchor, but did not
hoist a sail. The crew stood in a group,
apparently waiting to die without re
sistance. One man was in the rigging.
Had it not been for tbe hopelessness
of the situation perhaps ' bis being
there might have excited attention.
Captain Seymour noticed an arm ex
tending from where the man was lo
cated, from tbe outer end of whjch a
rope dropped to the deck, but so full
of anguish was be that it mads but
little impression upon him.
On went the pirate, like a great bird
on its way to pounce upon a fish. On
the doomed vessel not a man moved.
On the poop deck stood tbe captain,
now and again diverting his glance
from bis coming enemy to the man In
the rigging.
Suddenly Seymour gave an order,
and the crew ran to the halyards. Up
went the sails and tbe Pelican began
to move.
Then for a few minutes followed a
maneuvering, tbe pirate trying to get
near enough to bis enemy to beard
her, the Pelican aiming to keep her
off. Tbe latter had an advantage in
having np more sail. Tbe pirate, be
ing sure of its victim, did not add to
its own canvas. Presently, wbea the
two vessels were ""but half a dozen
yards apart, those on the Dole saw the
arm that has been mentioned by means
of tbe rope attached swung outward
by men on deck so that it was turned
toward the pirate. Then the man In
the rigging, holding something in his
hand that looked like a glass carboy,
climbed out on tbe arm and. swinging
what he held, tossed it on to the pi
rate's deck.
The passengers on the Dole saw a
sight that filled them with a delirium
of surprise and Joy. They flew to each
other's arms, laughing and weeping.
The pirate was blown to atoms!
A few minutes later she went down,
and from the deck of the Dole arose a
shout that was echoed from the Peli
can. The pirate had taken the place
of Its intended victims.
Captain Spencer bad laid bis plan
well, though there were many chances
against its success. Had be lain quiet
when his enemy came down on him.
Instead of maneuvering, he would prob
nbly have blown up his own ship as
well as the pirate. During the night
he had thrown overboard all his cargo
nf blasting powder except what he
needed for defense, and his own vessel
suffered but little from the explosion.
As for the crew of the Pelican, when
they saw the big bomb swing off every
man dropped to the deck.
FORUM OF THE PEOPLE
Councilman Beard's View.
Editor, The Enterprise:
Your report of Friday evening's
session of the city council contains
the following: "Councilman . Beard
turned the light on another angle. He
said that pe had not been in favor of
Seventh street, but believed that was
what the rest of the council wanted,
so had sided with the majority, etc."
Now, Mr. Editor, what I did say was
this: That I had always favored an
"incline"'' starting from the intersec
tion of Main street and Eighth, and
landing at or near the top of the stair
way on Seventh street, but finding
that that idea was not popular, I had
fixed upon the Seventh street site as
being the logical place for the lift,
and that I believed that the majority
of the people (not the city council)
wanted it at that point, but that re
cently the claims of Fourth street nad
been brought to my attention, and in
such a forcible manner t5iat I believ
ed they should be given uuc consider
ation. New this may appear to be a
small matter in your estimation, but
1 do not wish to s'and before the peo
ple of Oregon City as voting on as.
important a matter as the expenditure
of $12,000 to $15,000, just because the
restof the council wanted it so. As
stated before, I believe that Seventh
street is tb.9 logical place for the first
elevator, and I further believe that
within two years after its completion
there will be recognized tha necessity
for & second elevator, and possibly,
my dream of an incline may mater
ialize after a few more years.
Respectfully,
WM. BEARD,
Councilman 3rd Wrard.
