T R U M PET CALLS.
for The Term of His Natural Life

In the prison of the ’tween-decks
reigned a darkness pregnant with mur
murs. The sentry at the entrance to
the hatchway was supposed to "prevent
the prisoners from making a noise,” but
he put a very liberal interpretation upon
the clause, anil so long the the prison
ers refrained from shouting, yelling and
fighting he did not disturb them.
To one coming in from the upper air,
the place would hare seemed in pitchy
darkness; but the convict eye, accus
tomed to the sinister twilight, was en
abled to discern surrounding
objects
with tolerable distinctness. The prison
was about fifty feet long and fifty feet
wide, and ran the full height of the
’tween-decks. The barricade was loop-
holed here and there, and the planks
i
were in some places wide enough to ad
mit a musket barrel. On the aft side,
next the soldiers' berths, was a trap
door, like the stoke-hole of a furnace.
A t first sight this appeared to be con
trived for the humane purpose of ven
tilation, but a second glance dispelled
this weak conclusion. The opening was
just large enough to admit the muzzle
o f a small howitzer, secured on the deck
below. In case of a mutiny, the sol
diers could sweep the prison from end
to end with grapeshot. Such fresh air
as there was, filtered through the loop-
boles, and came, in somewhat larger
quantity, through a wind-sail passed in
to the prison from the hatchway. Rut
I
the wind-sail being necessarily at one
end only of the place, the nir it brought
was pretty well absorbed by the twenty
or thirty lucky fellows near it, and the
other hundred and fifty did not come so
well off .The scuttles were open, but
as the row of bunks had been built
v '
against them, the air they brought was
the peculiar property of such men as
; -
occupied the berths into which they pen
etrated.
These berths were twenty-
eight In number, each containing six
men. They ran in a double tier round
• j i .
three sides of the prison, twenty at each
Hide, and eight affixed to that portion
Iifi:
of the forward barricade opposite the
I* * door. Each berth was presumed to be
five feet six Inches square, but the ne
I cessities of stowage had deprived them
of six Inches, and even under that pres
sure twelve men were compelled to sleep
on deck.

When Frere had come down, an hour
before, the prisoners were all snugly
between their blankets. They were not
so now; though, at the first clink of the
H
bolts, they would be back again In their
i 'i Ì
old positions, to all appearances sound
asleep. Groups of men, in all imagin
able attitudes, were lying, standing, sit
ting or pacing up and down.
Old men, young men and boys, stal
wart burglars and highway robbers, slept
side by side with wizened pickpockets

or cunning-featured area sneaks. The
forger occupied the same berth with the
body snatcher. The man of education

falling fragments awoke them from their
stupor, and then the blue light of the
Malabar struck out a bright pathway
across the sea, and they kuew that they
were safe.
On hoard the Malabar two men paced
the deck, waiting for the dawn. It came
at last. The sky lightened, the mist
melted away, and then a long, low, far-
off streak of pale yellow light floated
on the eastern horizon. By and by the
water sparkled, and the sea changed
color, turning from black to yellow, and
from yellow to lucid green. The man
at the mainmast hailed the deck. The
boats were in sight, and as they came
toward the ship, the bright water flash
ing from the laboring oars, a crowd of
spectators hanging over the bulwarks
cheered and wared their hats.
"Not a soul!” cried Blunt. “ No one
but themselves. Well, I’m glad they're
safe auyway.”
The boats drew alongside, and in a
few seconds Frere was upon deck.
"N o use,” cried Frere, shivering. “ W e
only just had time to get away. The
nearest thing in the world, sir. They
must have taken to the boats.”
"Then they can’ t be far off,” cried
Blunt, sweeping the horizon with his
glass. “ They must have pulled ail the
way, for there hasn't been enough wind
to fill a hollow tooth with.”
“ Perhaps they pulled in the wrong di
rection,” Baid Frere. "They had a good
four hours’ start of us, you know.”
Then Best came up and told the story
to a crowd of eager listeners. The sail
ors having hoisted and secured the boats
were hurried off to the forecastle, and
the four convicts were taken in charge
and locked below again.
“ You had better go and turn in,
Frere,” said Pine, gruffly. “ It’s no use
whistling for a wind here all day.”
Pine took a couple of turus up and
down the deck, and
then, catching
Blunt’s eye, stopped iu front of Vickers.
“ You may think it a hard thing to
say, Captain Vickers, hut it’s just as
well if we don't find these poor fellows.
We have quite enough on our hands as
it is. The fever has broken out.”
Vickers raised his brows. He had no
experience of such tilings; ami though
the intelligence was startling, the crowd
ed condition of the prison rendered it
easy to be understood, and he appre
hended no danger to himself.
“ It is only in the prison, as yet.” says
Pine, with a grim emphasis on the word;
"but there is no saying how long It
may stop there. 1 have got three men
down as it is.”
"W ell, sir, all authority in the matter
is in your hands. Any suggestions you
make I will, of course, do my best to
carry out.”
"Thank ye. I must have more room
in the hospital, to begin with. The sol
diers must lie a little closer. And you
had better keep your wife and the little
girl ns much on deck as possible.”
Vickers turned pale at the mention
of his child. “ Do you thiuk there is
any danger?”
“ There is, of course, danger to all of
us; but with care we may escape it.
There’s that maid, too. Tell her to keep
to herself a little more. She has a trick
of roamiug about the ship I don’ t like.
Infection is easily spread, and children
always sicken sootier than grown-up
people.”
Blunt, hitherto silently listening, put
in a word for the defense of the absent
woman. "She Is right enough, Pine,”
said he. “ What’s the matter with her?”
"Yes, she’s all right, I’ve no doubt.
She’s less likely to take it than any of
us. You can see her vitality in her face
— as many lives as a cat. But she’d
bring infection quicker than anybody.”
"I'll— I'll go nt once,” cried poor Vick
ers, turning round.
(To l «1 continued.)
he said; “ and, Jenkins, if there are any
more men taken sick, let them pass the
word for me at once. I shall be on
deck.”
The guards stared In each other’ s
faces with soma alarm, bat said noth
ing, thinking more of the burning ship,
which now flamed furiously across the
placid water, than of peril nearer home;
but as Pine went up the hatchway he
met Blunt.
“ W e’ ve got the fever aboard! Head
like a fire-ball, and tongue like a strip
of leather. Don't I know It?” and Pine
grinned, mournfully.
“ I’ ve got him
moved Into the hospital. Hospital! As
dark as a wolf’ s mouth. I've seen dog-
kennels I liked better.”
Blunt nodded toward the volume of
lurid smoke that rolled up out of the
glow.
“ Suppose there Is a shipload
there? I can't refuse to take ’ em in.”
“ No,” says Pine, gloomily. “ I sup
pose you can't. If they come, I must
stow ’em somewhere. W e'll have to run
for the Cape, with the first breeze, if
they do come; that is all I can see for
it.” And he turned awajr to watch the
burning vessel.
In the meanwhile the two boats made
straight for the red column that uprose
like a gigantic torch over the silent sea.
The pull was a long and a weary one.
Once fairly away from the protecting
sides of the vessel that had borne them
thus far on their dismal journey, the
adventurers seemed to have come Into
a new atmosphWe. The immensity of
the ocean over which they slowly moved
revealed itself for the first time.
The great sky uprose from this silent
sea without a cloud. The stars hung
low in its expanse, burning in a violet
mist of lower ether. The heavens were
emptied of sound, and each dip of the
oars was re echoed in space by a suc
cession of subtle harmonies.
As the
blades struck the dark water, it flashed
fire, and the tracks of the boats resem
bled two sea snakes writhing with silent
undulations through a lake of quicksil
ver. At last the foremost boat came to
a sudden pause.
Best gave a cheery
shout and passed her, steering straight
into the broad track of crimson that al
ready reeked on the sea ahead.
“ What is it?” he cried.
But he heard only a smothered growl
from Frere. It was. in fact, nothing of
consequence— only a prisoner “ giving
In.”
"W hat’s the matter with you?” says
Frere. “ Oh. you, is It?— Dawes!
Of
course, Dawes. I never expected any
thing better from such a skulking honnd.
Come, this sort of nonsense won’ t do
with me. It isn’t as nice as lolloping
about the hatchways, I dare say, but
you’ ll have to go on, my fine fellow.”
“ He seems sick, sir,” said a compas
sionate bow.
“ Sick! Not lie. Shamming. Come,
give way, now! Put your hacks into it!”
And the convict having picked up bis
oar, the boat shot forward again. But.
for all Mr. Frere’s urging, he eouid not
recover the way he had lost, and Best
was the first to run in under the black
cloud that hung over the crimsoned
water.
“ Keep wide,” he said. “ If there are
many fellows yet aboard, they’ ll swamp
us; and I think there must be, as we
haven’ t met the boats,” and then rnising
his voice, as the exhausted crew lay on
their oars, he hailed the burning ship.
