••••••••••••.0•••••..
Some few years ago I was a resident in
Hong Kong, and there became acquaint-
ed with the following cirenmstances.
The story itself was related olie winter's
evening—for even in China there is a
winter ---around a glowing fire that put
one in mind of home. The conversation
during dinner had turned upcin dream,
and some very curious theories were ad-
vanced in support of the interpretation
of them. Our number consisted of eight
i
persons and after a protracted discus-
sion, in which the number for and against
there being any truth in dr ems stood
about ec ual, Capt. Topham lproposed to
settle the question by telling us a story
of what actually happened to himself a
few yea s previously. The eldth was re-
moved, and at the invitation Of our host

lit our cigar or pipe ; and after mixing

related he following tale as nearly as

I can remember :
It is now, gentlemen, some, ten, years
since I' Was first 'elate of the opium
schooner Wild Dayrell, We!lwere lying
in Hong Kong harbor at the time, pre-
paratory to sailing the next niorning for
Formosa. Then—and, for th matter of
that, DOW—there was a gre it deal of
smuggling done in that beautiful island.

830,000 in eyee, 150 chests of Patna,. and
200 chests of Alalwah opinion, besides a
few sundries, which could he bought
cheap enough in Hong Kongor Shanghai,
but upon which we turnedood :round

all know, gentlemen—commanded her,
and had made many a voyage and run
many a risk for his owners to the same
place. At about 4 in the afternoon the
Captain left me to go on shor, , but just
as he was stepping into the boat he cried
,
out: I

and as, in all ierobability, it will be a, noisy
party, I shall slip away early,so you can

"Very well, sir," I 3nswered ; and
then turned to see that everything - was
all right for the morning,

quite a confidential chat about ouri voy-,

mense risk that was run in net shipping
Englishmen, in place of the mongrel
crew we then had. Our crewleonsisted,
by the way, of 14 persons, inoiluding the
captain. The captain, myself, second

and two Chinamen, as seamen ; a Chi;

officer had retired for the night, and had
left me alone on the poop. I well re-
member how ray thoughts then ran. I
revolved in my mind the conversation
that I had had with Mr. Spencer, the
second officer, respecting the immense
value of our cargo, and the risk that_we
ran, both from our own crew, should
they turn traitors, and also from the
hordes of pirates that continually infest
the China seas, notwithstanding our
gun -boats, and the havoc that theyi
rn.ake of them whenever they come withl
in range. I
Well, gentlemen, upon that evenin,0
my thoughts were especially turned upon
home, and to a dear mother from whom!
I had received a letter by the ,last mail,
and who was then in a very delicate stat
of health. I had answered her letter onl
that morniag. .
1 must have been on the poop about
three-quarters of an hour after Mr.
Spencer had left me, and was thinking
of returning to the cabin to dor& over
some papers connected with the ship;
when 1 observed a sampan, or Chinese
boat, hovering round the stern; I called
out to the men in the boat, and inquired
what they wanted there; but their only
answer, when they found the were oh
served, was to pull away from the ship
in the direction of the mid le of the
harbor. Their movements 1 'd not a
all like, and leaning on the taffrail,
watched them until they were lost in the
darkness. I suppose I must have re-
mained in this poBition—that is, with
my arms on the taffrail—aboutten min-
utes, when, without warning I felt my-
self lifted off my legs, and sothe one be-
hind me endeavoring to throe) me over-
board. I am by no means a light *eight,
geatlemen, as you can see, weighing, I
should say, then sixteen stonel; but the
person evidently depended upoi the sud-
denness of the attack to accoiip1ish his
purpose. I struggled violently, holding
fly' right and left with my fee • and in
on by my hands to the rail, acd letting
the end I was successful. The plinaman
tripped, and lay upon the cleek in my
power. Without a thought, Without a
moment's hesitation, I laid held of him
by the trousers with one hand, and took
a couple of tarns of his pigtail by the
other, and threw him overboard. After
I had accomplished this I ma4le for the
cuddy. Arrived there, I at nce went
to Mr. Spencer's cabin; but u on trying
the door found it !pelted ! I givve one or
two good kicks, at the same time calling
, out to him to open the door.!Fe sprang
from his berth, and called out in reply
that it was locked from the outside. I
told him to stand clear, and with a good
one, two, three, from the shoulder, I
burst the door in. There is no doubt I ,
rnuet have looked very pale and
and very excited, as his first question to
me was:
"Why, Mr. Topham, what in the name'
of goodness is the matter? You look as
pale as death."
told him all that had happened, and
likewise my suspicions that we had not
seen the end of the affair, and that our
best plan would be at once to arm our-
selves. I told him to dress himself, while
I went on deck to rouse our two English
sailors, whom we could depend upon,
and bring theni aft to the abin. I had
Elanted one foot in the saloon, the other
eing still in Mr. Spencer's cabin, and
had my eyes directed to the stairs of tbe
companion, when, in the shade, I thought
I descried a Chinaman. Thinking that
it might be the steward, I called out to
him by name "A Tong," but no reply
came, when I felt pretty certain that it
was not the steward, in which belief I
was not left long in doubt. I had turn-
ed my head into Mr. Spencer's cabin, to
tell him of my suspicions, when I thonght
1 beards steps stealthily approaching me.
I gave a rapid glance; and there, not
four feet from where I stood, were some
five or six as villainous looking Chinamen
as I had ever beheld, armed, some with
bamboos about ten feet long, and others
with swords. In an instant, I had
sprung into the cabin, and closed and
bolted the door. With a yell, the whele
of the gang made one simultaneous rush
tolward the d4or ; but they had miss d
their mark 14 a second. I had plan d

tios an. careful attendance, I was soon
ab e to eave my room, and then, -and
no before, I gathered from my old friend
arles Lawrence, one quiet afternoon,
th foliowing rather rambling account of
th affair:
'I Lave no occaeion," said Charley,
ask you to remember the Sth of
ft
M rch, for that you will do to the end of
yo r days; but I have also reason to re-
member it; for on that day,fas I learned
by a letterfrom home by the last mail,
an only brother was killed on the Great
\Vestern Railway, in the collision that
occurred near Reading. 'Well, if you re-
member that evening, we were to have a
great spread at Douglas's. Thompson,
Wilkinsim and some twenty others were
invited, ' including Capt. Wilkes. Of
course, you know what a jovial fellow
,ghis part in an arument with
Wilkes ' , good for a story or song, and
can take
the best of them. Everything went off
very well during dinner; and after the
cloth had been removed, and one or two
songs had been given, the call was for
Wilkes, I He, however, who is usually
so ready and willing to - oblige, made
some excuse about hoarseness; which,
however) was so palpably fictitious, that
we all burst out laughing; and upon be-
ing pressed again by some of us, includ-
ing old Douglas, he positively refused,
and intirinated his intention of going on
board at once. We could see that scme-
thing had occurred to irritate him, but
for the life of us none of us could guess.
1;Sefore leaving the room, however.Dong-
las (Ailed ,hin2 toione side, and asked him
the cause of his going away so early.
1 -
owever, with a good constitu-
THE HURON EXPOSITOR.
He replied that he was uneasy in his
mind; that a depression of spirits inch
as he had never felt before, had come
over him within the last half hour, but
for which he could not account; and
asked Douglas kindly not to detain hint,
as he wanted to go on board to see that
everything was all right; and if he felt
better, they might expect to see him in
the course of an hour or so. And in an
hour's time he did return, not to join our
party, but to horrify us with the details
of what had occurred on board the Wild
Dayrell. Dr, Anderson, who was one
of our party, went on board immediate-
ly, to attend to you; and Capt. Wilkes
and two or three of us proceeded to the
police station to report the matter. The
police took the matter up vigoronsly,
and thanks to a large reward offered by
the owners, one of the gang turned
Queen's evidence; and in the course of
three cr four days the whole gang was
safely lodged in Victoria jail: They
(were, brought up before the magistrate,
and remanded until you are able to ap-
pear against them."
"But I asked: 'What time did Capt.
Wilkes arrive on hoard the Wild Day-
rell; it was some time after 10 o'clock—
of that I am sure.'
, "Yes," he replied • "I believe it was
just half -past ten when he pulled along-
side, for five bells were struck from all
the other ships lying alongside of him,
,but none from his own, which at the
time he noticed as very singular. As he
approached the ship he saw two boats
'coming from the direction of her, but at
the time he took no notice of them but
there is no doubt, he thinks, that these
very boats contained the gang."
"But did they succeed in obtaining
any of the treasure ?" I again asked.
"No; not a cent of it, thanks to
chubb. They had tried to pick the
lock ; and when they found that they
could not succeed in that, they tried gun-
powder, but with the same result. The
1 two English seamen were found tied in
( their bunks, and quite drunk. They
acknowledged that the steward had given
hem three bottles of brandy early in the
evening, as a present; and they made
goodsuse of it, for they were half drunk
the next morning. The rest of the crew
were toe much afraid of their own necks
to offer anyerevistance or give tbe alarm.
The Wild Dayrell sailed a couple of days
afterward, but:with a fresh crew." And
so ended CharleY's accounts
• About a week after this conversation
continued the narrator, 'I appeared at
the police court, and swpre to every one
of the 'gang, eight in namber. They
were sent for trial to the High Court,
and were all found guilty of mutiny and
conspiracy, and sentenced, fotnapf them
to penal servitude for life, two • for 14
years, and the remaining two for seven
• years each.'
Amongst my letters from home I • was
not long in noticing one in the hand-
writing of my mother; this, singular
though it may appear, I kept until the
last, and toyed and played with it for a
minute or two before I opened it. In
that letter, gentlemen, occurs the fol-
lowiiig passage:
hat were you doing, dear John, pn
the night of the Sth of March, at about
10 o'clock, from that to hall past? I
will tell you my reasons for asking. I
had been very poorly during the whole
of the day; so much so, that after a cup
of tea, about 6 o'clock, I retired for the
night. I fell asleep very soon, but it
was a disturbed sleep, and I woke two
or three times. At about 8 o'clock Jane
brought me a cup of cocoa, and very
soon afterward I again fell asleep and
did not wake until about half past ten,
when I awoke with a fright. I dreamed
' that I had seen you walking along some
strange, street, and following you were
three er four Chinamen. All at once
they rushed toward you, at which you
ran, but they ran faster than you did,
and were rapidly gaining on you, when
you at once made for the river, which
was some hundred yards distance. You
had gone about half way when you slip-
ped and fell down ; immediately the
Cainemen were upon you, and one I saw
with a ong knife ready to strike yon,
but with that I awoke with a scream."
Now, gentlemen. I wish to draw your
attention to the faca, that the 8th of
March, as mentioned, in my mother's
letter, was the same day that the Wild
Dayrell affair happened, and also that
the time from 10 o'clock to half past was
the exact time that we were placed iu
the most imminent peril by the smashing
in of the door panel. You can call it
what you like—a singularcoincidence,
or anything else you please; but the
fact: remains that, while on the very day
And hour I was placed in great danger of
my life, my mother, 14,000 miles away,
in dear old England, had a dream in
which I figured conspicuously; and, al-
though the incidents of the dream did
pot exactly tally with the actual facts of
the case, yet they were so near the troth
that I t ink you will bear me out, gentle-
men, w en I state that it was a most ex-
traordi ary and remarkable dream.

asked.

'Oh, you be. Well, then, I'm from

come down here just to put ray hands

- Th Cunard. Service.
They are a steady -going, conservative
lot the old Cunarders, and never do their
business with a flourish or spasm—neith-
er the owners nor the officers., The -line,
which includes over fifty large steamers,
remains exclusively in the hands of the
firm that started it. The men employed
are selected for their worth, and not at
the instigation of any meddlesome direc-
tor. The chief consideration in building
the ships is strength, and the second
consideration is speed; but strength is
never sacrificed to speed or appearances.
The manager in Liverpool is Mr. Charles
Maclver, one of the founders—whose
son is one of the Members of Parliament
for the town—a straight, shrewd, prac-
tical man with a personal knowledge of
nearly all his officers, and a still more
intimate knowledge of his ships. Fie
exacts the strictest attention to duty,
and never pardons in error in this direc-
tion. He often drives down to the docks
and inspects the steamers in port from
the stoke -hole to the wheel -house. The
hour of his coming is never knowu, and
if any man is found away from his post
that man might as well resign. An
officer (Mr. G—) died in Liverpool re-
cently who had for nineteen years held
the same position in the service, while
others had been promoted over his head.
He was a sober man, an experienced
sailor, and a skilful navigator. Many
wondered why he aever rose, and some
tell this anecdote in explanation. One
night old Mr. McIver drove down to
Huskisson Dock, and asked, on one' of
the steamers, for the officer in charge.
The watchman stated that he had gone on
shore, but would. be back in an hour or
two, ,
'Who is it?' asked Mr. MacIver.
'Mr. G—, sir.'
'Very well; when Mr. G— comes on
board tell him to take my carriage and
drive to my home.'
When Mr. G — reached the house he
found Mr. MacIver seated in his library.
'You were absent from your post to-
night, sir; I wanted to see you, sir;
that's all.' 1 And M. G— was boweclout
by the iniplacable old Scotchman, in
whose eyes a neglect of duty Was the
worst possible offence, and never Them
that night to the day of his death was
he promoted to a more responsible posi-
tion.
On 'another occasion Mr. MacIver was
on board one of the steamers, as she was
passing from the river into dock, and
stood watching some sailors hauling a
rope under the, direction of a mate in
uniform who Was helping themwith a
will. it.. MaciVer was secretly( pleased
with his zeal, but, tbuching him on the
shoulder, said, with'affected 'seierity,
'We do not engage on \ for that kind of
service, sir!' The ate relinquished the
rope at once, expecting a further reproof;
but during the next week hewas pro-
moted from the third to the second rank.

Transcendentalism Defined.
Transcendental is a long word, and
those who use, it most can't give any
• very precise defmition of it. Twenty-
• five years ago it canine into great vogue
under the lead of a [great thinker, now
famous (Mi. Emerson), and got into the
language of young women and of yotuag
students, sad the clergymen talked about
it; but still the question was, what
transcendental meant. Well, on one of
the Mississippi River steamboats, when
a party of eminent divines were return-
ing from a general convention of the
Presbyterian Church, they were in high
diseussion about orthodoxy and the old
faith and transcendentalism ; and a lay-
man who iv ed their conversation—
one of the I y delegates, reffirning with
themi—still felt a little puzzled about
what trans endent al and transcendental-
ism meant. So he ventured to ask the
divine in whom he had the greatest con-
fidenee :
'I1ear y a use this word transcenden-
id the doctor of divinity,
;
tal aid tr nscendentalism, Now what
does it mea
'Wall,' s
'that is a question that is more easily
askecl than answered..' They were pass-
ing by a bluff on the river. Said he :
'Da you seethat bluff on the side here of
the river ?' i
'Y ' s.'
'Do you pee how pierced it is with
swallows' holes?'
'Yes, I see, that.'
ell, no*,' says he, 'you take away
all that bluff, and leave nothing but the
swallows' laplese and that is transcenden-
talism.'
