den giktmatios of peen frws the a.percar-
go, .ad as tarsals they saw he had drop-
ped bis bosh, and set with bulb bags press-
ed yea bis stomach, while his features had
assumed a laid bee, expressive of the Moet
sesta suffering. The captain sprang
quickly from the table, sad laying his hand
upon the sufferer's shoulder, be exclaimee:
' What is the matter, Mr. Russell!'
' O, God" 1 •1ou't kuow. Here it is l I

his hands harder upon hie stomach.
• What have you been Nims 1 What
have you heel' drinking!' asked Wallach is
a fiery of anxiety.
Nothing, nothing. Ob• oh!' groned the
poor fellow.
Wallack east a trembling glees at he
second mate, and for a inort.est they both
remained silent.
1t', strange,' at length uttered Faulk-
ner,' poor Gwynn was taken in exactly the
same way.'
The captain made no reply, but his coun-
tenance wore a strange shade of doubt mad
suspicion, as be gazed upon the tortured
features of the supercargo.
That night the broad Atlantic rolled its
ceaseless waves over another of the ships
company. Mr. Russell bed breathed his
last. Cap( Wallack and Nal Faulkner had
the last deg watch. Roland had gone
down into the cabin, "while the foremast
band+, with the exception of the man at the
wheel, were forward. The captain paced
the quarter deck in a thoughtful, troubled
mood, ever and eros casting his eye to-
ward the cabin companion way, where his
first mate had dissappeared a short time be-
fore, and then turned his gaze W the fore-
castle where the men were congregated. -
Faulkner was by the wheel and several
times as the captain approaebed him in his
walks, did he start to join him, but a tearful
suspicion kept him back, and until the watch
was changed neither be nor Wallack spoke
a word, save such as related to the mar
agement of tbe ship. At 8 o'clock Roland
came on deck for the first watch. Tbe ship
was upon the starboard tack, close hauled
upon the wind, and joist able to stand upon
her course.
As capt. \Wallack gave up the deck, be
requested the male, if the wind should hired
round to the eastward any, to call him. -
Roland replied kindly that be would, bet
beneath the half -curling smile that rested
upon his features, the captain thought be
could detect a lurking spirit of evil. tiro het
not a hsadow of his doubt manifest itself up-
on his countenance, but with a bland frank-
ness he wished his mate a pleasant watch,
and then went below.
'
Faulkner,' said the captain, as he tore -
ed a furtive glance at the bead of the lad-
der,let not a word escape you, unless it
be of common place affairs. until we have
tamed into our berths; but keep your wea-
ther eye open and follow my mo,mrurts.'
Faulkner dud not mart at this req.eet, Pa-
the same thoughts seemed to be passing in
his own mind.
' Let's see,' said the captaia ia a tone
loud enough to he beard on deck, ' I mast
run over my reckoning before I tura in,
Mt. Faulkner just hand see that chart, if
you please.'
As Wallaek spoke he reached aver into
his berth and took out his pistols, which be
proceeded carefully to load, taking care the
while that ba back was turned towerde the
companion -way. Fadkner followed lou
example, and ere long the e.aodles were et-
tingslished, and the two men retired, but
not however, to sleep.
'Faulkner•; whispered the eapte°,'we're
in a anugtt, for I have rears 1% believe
that there is mutiny on board. Gwynn sed
Russell have both been poisoned.'
' So I believe,' returned Faulkner, in the
same low tone, ' and if I'm not 'mistaken,
there'll bit poison in our coffee-e.p to -mor-
row mors,eg."

`rave of the blue Atlantic.
Tbii untimely event left Captain Wal -
lack in a critical situation. Nat Faulkner,
his second mate, was by no means u galified
for the office, nor would be have taken
the retponsibdity had the Captain desired
it- There was but one man in the slip
who possessed sufficient knowledge of
seamanship for the mate's berth, and though
Wallach found that to him he must give the
office, yet be did so with many misgivings.
This man's name was Tom Roland, haughty
and overbearing in Lis disposition, seeming
by his general conduct to hare been in the
habit of commanding, rather than obeying,
on shipboard, and who had already begun
to eternise a sort of cootrel over the crew.

Roland was entailed into the office of first
