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.
