The day after the lllue H.a ket's crew had ola-red up after their t-ruiae ashore, the mate came forward ami shouted, "Man the hiii.II.ihV" I'lie lever were shipi-d, and at the top of hia voice the favorite chalityinan la-nan to lilt out that fallioua old sea melialy, "Hurrah, tny laiya, we're homewnnl Uniiid." After the anchor wa hove abort the blue a-ter wa boiated and Ihe fon-topaail .el, signifying that the ship was going lo put lo sea shortly. The captain came alamrd In his gig, pulled by four smart apprentices. The gig waa In i(rd up to the davit. The gang way ladder waa unhlpM-d ami the skipper waa jul alamt to give onli-ra to sheet home ami hoit the lopaaila when he 110 liced a auspicious l.aikiug craft making for the harbor. He took hi teleacoM, and after a brief oletcrvation, rxcl-.iiineil: "The Aluliaina, by thunder." The fainoua Confederate rruft hod been so atvurately dcacrili.il by her victiina thai there waa no aavubility of a miatake. "Haul ihm 11 that blue a-ter; furl the f.in-topuiil and pay out forty live fathoms uf chain. I gui-aa 1 won't go to sea today," continued the akipa-r. Of course the Alabama wouldn't dare to attack the lllue It. ki t or auyother north ern veaael in a llrilih airt, so the ahip waa a safe as though she was miaired lo her d.a k in the Kat river. New York. The Alabama anchored cloae alongaide the lllue U.a-kct, which wo the only American ship in Ihe harlair that had her sails bent, ll was evident thai the Ala bama had made up her iiiind to watch her cloaely. Captain St-mmcs hod his laiat lowered and went aahore. Captain Kandall fol lowed his example. The llritiah uierchuiits at Siugiiatre boil begun to "aour" ou the Confederate raiiae; they weru becoming convinced that the northerners wen sure of victory i a the end, so S-iiiine au.l hia olllccr were not tnatid aa they expected by the swell . n-ty of ,singaairv. Captain Italidall hapla-mtl to meet aahore the coxawaiu of Captain S'liuuea' gig. a ghsxled man with whom he had lieeu ship mate when a young man and who w la under coiiaiderablu obligation to hi 111. He took the coxawain to hi hotel and they had a long confabulation together. The skipper gave him Ut) rua-s ami told 111 ill that he expected lo rcaie from the Alalutina with hi aaaiatance. Captain Itan.lall knew what a lot of deapenuha-a the crew uf the AlaUima were, and he de vised one of the craftiest plot that ever came to tny knowledge. The Alabama's men were at that time ripe for desertion. or even mutiny. ( aptain Scininc and hi olllcers were at their wits' end to know how to deal with them. The ahip had put Into Sitigaion to coal and lay alamt a mile oil the ahora with lighter alongaide. The uld coxswain had a goal deal uf lull Hem e with the nu ll. He ajaike rliileutly of the sainahu, or Chinese brandy; he described the beauty of the native girls and expati ated ou the home comfort lo be found at All llamdugger's rum-hop. It nil ended as Captain Kandall hocd. The men went aft in a lly ami demundrd liberty. The sample keg of brandy had done it deadly work. The coxawaiu bad smuggled it alaainl at imminent nk. It created a thirst for mote. I.ilicrty was granted lo nearly all the ship's company. They rciaired ill a lly to All Harming ger's, at the sign of "The Jack Tar s De light," Hy an arrangement wall llam duggrr the moat liery brand of samaliu waa serve.1 out to the Alabama men. lu a little while they were all stupid. That night the lllue docket got under way a uoiaeleaaly aa Manible. Of course the Alabama was aware of it. but u u.a! all her crew were aahore she could do uoth- iug. The northraat miamaiain waa blowing briskly and the lllue It. kct left the har bor behind her In Hue slispe. At dawn a provoking calm came on. The saila slatted auain t the maata and the vessel roiled steadily tu the blue ocean swell. The pitch oated out of the deck Beams and the sun waa so hot that the men sought shelter from its burning rays. The calm continued for two days. Karly in the morning of tb third day the smoke of a steamer was seen In the lllue Koc krt's wake. The new siain spread, "Here come the Alabama!" tireat rxcitemeiit prevailed.
