With a smothered exclamation I shook myself and stared again. Surely not s boat) And yet such It was—a rude, native ca noe St the mercy of the waves without oo- >t or paddle. Than It rods right In the ' the reflected moon, peculating gen- on the swell. After the first moments of silent surprise I naturally cost about ms for some expla nation of the phenomenon. I scanned the waters in sll directions and tried to pierce the gloomy bleakness of the shore, but the deeper shadows moving there were the creatures of my own Imagination. No un usual object met my view, and when I ran my eyes over the deek I found It equally dwferted. However little credenoe I might put In the idea of ghosts and goblins, I thought It best to suppress the occurrence from my more superstitious metes, and the next morning the crew weighed anchor and trimmed the sails for home In happy igno- ranoe of the mysterious canoe. But the affair rankled In my memory, and I caught myeelf pondering on It by fits and starts In a way that annoyed my own good sense. Not that I was superstitious, for the same good sense assured me that spirits never made use of material objects in the exercise of their erratic capers, but I dread ed some mischief which I could sot define to myself. And I was soon to learn my fears were not without foundation. A gloomy day of gusty winds and lower ing clouds, rolled above each other like a scroll, had settled down upon the sea Damp, drizzling, penetrating, the very masts and rigging seemed to reek and shiv er under Its depressing influence, while the men huddled together in their storm ooata for the purely human desire of mutnsl com fort and support. I was pacing the quarter dock alone, wrapped In meditation, whan a touch upon my arm roused me. Old Jack Mar ley, my first mate, stood at my side, his pblagmatlo features Illumined by an unusual expres sion of animation. He had wen suffered his pipe to go out—a sure sign that some thing was amiss. “ Cap’n,” he said, ’’there’s foul work afoot here. I've jest been down in the hold an heard voices behind the false bulk- "Voiceaf” I exclaimed. “ Aye, aye, air!” he responded, nibbing hie nose with vexation. “ There’■ four of ’em, mutineers, air, aa waa aet ashore on the Guinea coast,” and then he went on deliberately to reveal a plot which he had overheard—a plot to seize tha brig—so dia bolical in its details aa to bar description. I listened in dumfounded amazement to his narration, while my mind flew back over the various auspicious circui of the case, now made clear, with contempt for my own lack of penetration. The mystery of the empty boat was ex plained—the convicts had stolen aboard and secreted themselves while I was asleep. When I roused myself and asked old Jack’s counsel, he was ready with it promptly. "You just let me apeak out, oap’n, and I’ll spin you a plan that’ ll fetch them out of there in a hurry. In the fust place, veer the vessel broadside to the wavwa and let the wind keel her over. Then let some one sing out for tha lifeboats, and, mark my words, they’ll scramble up quicker •• r they went down. We can meet ’em at the hatchway and bowl ’em over like so many ninepins.” No time wae lost in putting the plan Into execution. I celled the men to me one by one in order to avoid suspicion by any un usual movement and Informed them of the circumstances. They certainly brought the ship about with surprising rapidity, and aa she heaved over with a violent lurch we stationed our selves on each aide of the hatchway, armed with ropes and oluba. I had given strict orders that the rascals were to be no more than knocked over, and when all waa ready I directed old Jack, who had the most ter rific voioe among ua, to sing out, and, my conscience, he did! “ Breakers! Breakers! Breakers to the lee ward I” Then I gave the orders in e furious shout to lower away the boats, and while the helmsman plunged her nose into the waves my men raised an appalling yell that might well give those below the impression that pandemonium had broken loose. The effect wae magical. We heard a vio lent scrambling and cursing as of men in dire terror, and immediately after seveml dark forms appeared rushing for ths deck —ugly looking customers even by the dim light. Having seen my prisoners secured, I had the brig put about on her course again and then led them below, where I questioned them. But why attempt to depict their mad ravings, beginning with dire threats of vengeance and terminating in cowardly appeals for mercy? We could get little sat isfaction out of them and concluded, after a brief discussion, that out safest course would be to send them back whence they had come. , Our course lay in the track of vessel» en gaged in African traffic, aud we were so for tunate a few days later as to fall in with a •hip bound for the coast. Tbe captain will ingly agreed to take tbe prisoners tn hand, and the «ea being calm we lost no time In shifting their berths. Not until then did we sleep In peace. Well, the voyage terminated satisfactorily to all concerned, but you may rest assured that taught me the lesson never again to fall asleep whileon the watch.—C.
