THE YOUNG SKIPPER. "Is that tlie chup we shipped nnderP Why, he hn't grown a board yet?' "KuvertheluttR he in the tjkippor of this craft, and a right smart one, too, as yon '11 find out if yon cruise many months aboard of hur." "Tluit may be, tint I'd rather see a man on the quarter deck than a boy." "What's the difference, if the boy has a man's head on his shoulders? It isn't always those who have lived the longest in this world that know the most, as I have found out. Now here aro you and I; we have been following the sea these twenty years, and I'm not afraid to say that we could handle a vessel in any weather, but if we were asked to take a ship from New Uedford to Out Horn, do you suppose we could do it? 1 tell you, Tom, no. That's be cause when wo were young we wasted our tinic in skylarking instead of study. It was different with our skipper, as I know well, for he and I were ship mates together on the voyage that he jumped from before the mast to the quarter deck." "Don't see how he eonld do it," grum bled the one addressed as Tom. "Well, I'll tell you, mate, "when we got below," replied Bill Bucket, one of the bout stoorers of the whuling ship Grampus, which hud just left her home port for a three years' cruise in the Pa cific. "It was this way," began Bill that same evening in the "dog wateh" when he and his compunion Tom, who was aIbo a boat steercr, were leaning idly over the weather rail, gazing out on the vast expanse of waters over which their vessel was bounding before a fair wind. "It's little over four years now since J joined the Kace Horse down in one of the Kanaka islands. I bad run away from unoiher ship and hud 'beach combed' it (nautical parlance for tramp), until I got a chance in the Kace Horse. We were going north to cruise in the Ochotsk sea. The skipiwr was before the must then; he was a chap that didn't have to see a thing done more than twice before he could do it hiniBelf. "1 handled the harpoons in tho mate's boat, and little Blue Fin, us we called our cap'n that is now, pulled the bow oar in the same craft. One morning, just a little after daylight, the lookout in the crosstrees raised a school of sperm whulus. We had a pretty stiff breeze the night before and the sea was still running high. We lowered away, how over, our three boats mate's, second mate's and third's." " 'I'll take that follow up to wind'urd,' culled our officer, as he pointed to a big whale that was playing around on the outside of the school, as though he was placed there to protect the cows and calves that were huddled together in the middle from any danger, " 'Look out, Bill,' wiys the mate to me as he stood grasping the steering oar. 'Look out,, man, and don't miss him. There's a good hundred barrels there.' " 'Ay, ay, sir,' said 1. 'Lay me on close enough and I'll drive both "irons" into him clear to the buckets.' "There was no danger but what he'd do it, for the fellow didn't know what it was to be afraid of a whale. 1 warn't going to take any chances, so I waited till the boat almost touched the big brute, then 1 let fly both harpoons, one after another, and sung ont, '8teru all.' When the boys were backing so as to give the whale room to play, 1 went aft . to change places with the mate, and he (walked forward to his station in the bow to kill the Ball with a lance. "Now this whale was one of those kind of fellows that takes his medicine easy at first, but fights like fury before lie h ist his red nag. He uidu t 'sound, but lay and wallowed tor a minute or (two, then began to swing 'round so as to got sight of us. i 11 -He's going to give us a tussel,' call- Jed the mate, I " 'Ay, ay, he's a fighter,' says I. "Then i caught sight of Blue Fin's face. All the other chaps were glancing over their shoulders and beginning to get a little shaky, but he sat on his thwart with his hand grasping the oar, just as quiet and unconcerned as if he wire in a skiff on a mill pond, and not r ithin half a cable's length of a mad oil njarui that threatened to send him and bis shipmates to Davy Jones' locker t any minute. : " 'Stand by to jump,' called the mate. "He's coming for us.' ! "Now you know there's no boat quick enough to get out of the way of a whale when he makes a rush, so the only thing to do is to leave her. The other men oprang to their feet, but the boy still sat there and I began to think he was para lyzed with fright. j " 'Stand up to jump, Bine Fin,' 'I called. 'And when you go leap straight for the beggar, and not from liiui.' j i 'iThe bid suiilod and noddod his head1, and standing up, unshipped tils oar from the thole pin, held it ready and faced about. ' "Then the whale started. " 'Jump!' yelled the mate. "The next instant we were all floun dering around in the water, while the bull caught the boat in his mouth. crushed it to pieces and sounded. 'The third mate, who had lust killed one small chap, was not far away, so he came and picked ns np all but the mate; we never saw him afterward. He must have boon fouled in the lines and gone down. "We got two out of the school, but all hands felt, sod at the loss of the officer. ) couldn't help tolling our skippor how cool Bine Fin was through the whole thing, and when he shoved the officers ahead he rated his own boat steerer third mate and ordered Blue Fin to take charge of the irons in his craft. 1 tell you the boy was proud enough. but he had nerve and good luck, both of which are everything to a whaler. This was destined to bo an unfortunate voy age for the After Guards. The whales wore plenty in the Ochotsk sea, and there was hardly a day but what we were outing in or trying ont blubber. "One afternoon the cap'n lowered away for a 'right' whale. Our boat was close alongside, but the skipper sung out: 1 'Don't you meddle with him, he's my fish.' So of course we hung back, only standing by to lend a hand in case we were needed. Bine Fin made a pretty dart. He hurled his first iron about six feet aft the bow hole, and the other he planted in the belly as the fellow rolled. It was a death blow, but before the whale be gan to spout blood he brought his flukes around, caught the boat before tho boys could back out of the way and stove her to pieces. . We pulled in and picked up the crew. 1 grabbed the 'old man' just as he was going down, and when I hauled him up 1 saw that he was hurt badly and was unconscious. He was smashed np in a frightful manner and never recovered. "Next morning at eight bells we launched the dead body of the captain from the starb'd gangway, while the fish that had killed 'him was moored with chains to the Krt side of the ship. Poor Blue Fin felt awful bad, and he kept mounting as the mate read the burial service, saying: " 'Oh, if I hadn't struck the whale that last blow. 'Twos the second iron that touched his "life," and our cap tain's too.' " 'But, shipmate,' went on the boat steeror, 'it was to be. and it's the way of the world, 1 suppose. One man mounts to a position through the death of another, just as a new ship is built to take tho place of a craft that has found a bed on the rocks,' " 'Yes, there's a great deal of truth in what yoi suy. Bill. But how was it that your cap'u's loss rated Blue Fin skipper? " 'He wasn't skipper in every sense of the word, but 'twas this way: The offi cers that were left were the same as you and 1 good sailors and good whalers hut they knew nothing of navigation. Blue Fin, of all our company, was the ouly one who could handle a quadrant or "work up a sight." As 1 Baid, the whales were plenty, and we didn't want to leave the grounds till the ice drove us out, for we were making money, so we finished our cruise, and when we reached Honolulu were full to the hatches with oil and bone. "There was some talk of shipping another man lo take the vessel home, but the agent and the American consul said, 'If that young man knew enough to bring the craft safely out of the Ochotsk sea, he knows enough to find his way to New Bedford.' They jnst engaged another mate 'by the run' who was a navigator, and gave the boy charge of the ship. "We made a quick passage around the Horn, and the owners were so much pleased with Blue Fin that they gave him command of the Race Horse on the next voyage, and while away on that cruise they built him this one here, the Grampus, and that's how the lad be came skipper so young. It goes to prove the truth of what I said a few moments ago, that 'It's not always gray hairs which cover the wisest head.' A boy is sometimes more fit to command than a man who has seen twice or thrice his number of years." True Flog.
