THE ADVENTURES OF A MoKILLOP YOUNG MAN. (Written by Robert Govenlook, Seaforthe (Continued from last Week.) There were some Portugese sailors .who had peel their paeriage and they were very angry at the owner for the way Ite had cheated them'out of their money. They were very anxious to tdke a bend in the fray but we kept them back. There wan eine little fel- low who Jureped on him eeveral times ,but I caught him by the coat Odle ancl pulled him Off, but I must eay that when Taylar wee getting ahead of the• women I let go the -coat tails-. I elid not know' at the time that he was using his knife' an the owner. The Portuge all have a knife attached to a cord around their necks. Mrs. Rice was the first to say that he had had enough. '" Lethim go mow" she said. The captain came up then and took the owner away,, a pretty ilight I can tell you: •The three women were hauled up for assault but the magis- trate let them off very eaey, five dol- • lane each rend costs. The reit of the passengers went to the 'trial but I was left on the ' vessel to guard our luggage. So the captain and I were lett, alone. He was one of the most villiamous lookleg :rascals that you could ever Setyour yes on. He, had been tengaged esp telly te wreck the vessel an the 1a1and of Clete in order to get her insurance as she Wan insured for her full value. This; all came out in the trial afteywaede. Well be wee angry behause' Ihwas watching ,him, end he tried to pick a ;quarrel with me but hO soon fouod out bis mistake as I let him know he could net frighten Me. When the wom.en. came back from the trial a constable came with -them to get their fine, Mrs. Smith wetit Into her cab- in: and get her ten dollars, five for herself and five for her daughter, end gave h't teethe officer with this • trimark: n Give ellen that and tell him my money is not all do/ie.-yet and I will willingly go iit,her • ben dollars an him as soon is able Ao be out. again." She wee under the impression Itbat Taylor i' as getting this money. After this the Governrrlent had. the vessel taken neck to BookJyn Oar.- bor and there we lay fo some "time. We wets getting our boa, el so a good teeny of the passeng tuck to the veseel: They said there, was about eight hundrea doll ere worth 6f stores on board, The ag nt who sold vs our tickete sent a, lighter to take off these ,stores as he said Taylor owed him. But we would) not let him board our vessel as , we i were all armed and none' of the officials in- terfered with is. • , • We finally get a lawyer by the 'Mime of Moody, to take up our case. We -gave Oirie our tickets and he s'eiz- ed the stores for us, His costs wede to come first -of cour.st, and that ie where it all went to asit generally' doee in all such cases. A lawyer is a, refined gentleman who rescues :your property from your enemies and .keeps it himself. It was such het -weather while we were in Brooklyn: harbor. that, we were almost euffocated down, in our cabins ,at night.• One night the doc- tor sad erie of .the Englishmen,' giciti'up aoout midnight with nothing but their' nlght clothes on and got into a •ooat beion.ging to ithe vessel and rowed a- ped on the ha,rbor. The water was s .ocith ae • gia2s, 'but before they w re 'aware of it the tide carried them) o of sight of the. bettor. We did met miss them until breakfast time. when, I went to call them and found th th Ith .co in m gone. Their clothes were all re but on looking about we found t a boat was missing. We got a • pie oe, sailors tin o go after the ariether boat and they found them) ab ut five or six imile. away. Neither of them' could managea 'boat, so they had just drifted' out.. They got into the, harbor about ten o'- clock, pretty looking spectacles. We all scalter after this. I really didt trot know, what to do, but one thin•g I determined', that I would not turn beck. One day, as an English - make Caen I yea:re walking along the street we saw a 'big flaming advere tisement, offering big !inducements to go for a three -years' cruise* ant a whaling vessel. As we weep tooth nearly strapped, we went up into the effiee. The Englishman agreed to ice and when 'the. clerk was making out bis agreement' L went out on the lend- ing ito consider the matter. I had seen sorre who Oad ju.et returned, and they were all over scurvy. So 1 de- cided 'that I would not oind myself foe so long a, term. That was the last saw of the young Englishmen. I wandered around for some dahrs, with very little, money, but still with a 'brave hea.rt At levet 1 found a sail- ing *seen • bound for Galveston. in .Texas. She was not a 'passenger ves- sel, but I agreed with the Canteen' to take me for ten dollars and board -mnself.' ' The doctor and Mr. Bosley - also toek passage on this vessel. The voyage usually lasted sixteen or eigh- teen days,, but we met with such ter- rible stories in the Gulph of Mexico that we did not reach our destinatian .dor forty days. When we had been on the vessel a few days the Captain took quite a feney 'to me, and used to send the cabin 'boy every morning for Me to play checkers with him. He alwaye called tine Scottie. He was a zeal Southern ,gentlem'an, but not a Chris- tian man. The first end secondmates were white men, but all ,the sailors were derides, or What they called tree in•egroes. Sometimes we 'had ter- rible etorms, at other times we had a dead calm,. It was so very hot we could tot walk on' the, deck, as' the ter was just boiling, out of the seared of the vessel along the deck. So we used Ito get out on the bowof the vessel and Jump into the sea. We had been lying for two or three daywith Ina a breath et air. 1 go ti up very early one morning and jumped:over the he* of the vessel, not noticing that there *as a, light tree springing up, and that the eallaris were eetting.the MOO I Core to the top og the evaterti found the ves,sel just slipping past me., Luckily for me there wws a rope banging over the back of the vessel. I caught that, and the wateh on deck came ito my aesintance, and got me a- board egain. Tho.nt put a stop to my jumping into the Sea. I got quite ft fright one day. The Captain of the vessel sent for me to pley checker's on Sunday morning. No one on that ,eeesel seemed to know one day from another, but I sent word back that I could not play on Sunday. The Cap- tain was very much displeased. In fact,• he did 'not take any notice of me for eeveral, days, paseing 'me by with- ' out !speaking, but after a while he, ; get as friendly ao ever. He evenseern- ed to think more of me when) he new had some prineiple. My father told me before I lea home, that I was to be sure( and re- member the Sabbath day to keep it, -holy, for 'not to do this was the first downward 'step. The rest bone -se very' easy, when you began to disregard the Sabbath. They say after a calm comes a storm. We had some terrible storms which laSted about three weeks. Often and often we thought the veesel would go under. The hatchee were all bat- ted down and sometimes there were two or three feet of water en deck. The captain was lying very eIck and the first °Ulcer was not able to manage the vessel. In trying to keep off the rocks which were towering one Imindred teet high on our west we nearly went aehore on the island of Cuba. We could see the dirt be- hind the vessel as she Was just ly- ing an her old, and running through the water. All hands. thought we were loin. The doctor was what he called himselt a free thinker. He was the most pronounced infidel I had ever met but wheel he came face to face with death he was the Most frightened rnortal I had, ever eet eyes upon. He stood with lais long white hair hanging tease, holding on with both hands' to BOMe ropes. I had seen Caricatures of the damtneci, 'but the picture of that uran's face haunted me and I cried out in my ‚heart, "Let me die the death a the righteous and my lest end be like 'His, by God's grace:" .We were saved after being tossed about in the Gulf of Mexico fon 40 days and la.reded safely in Galveston,. I was in a ,strange land with just one dollar inmy pocket and out of thie I gave the doctor twenty-five cents to get his dinner as he had- not a bent. That -Was the lest I saw, og •thq, doc- tor.

When we got about half way we stopped at a • house and asked for a drink. TOe woman told us they had no water. All the water they ever bad was, rain water filtered -but she offered us a drink of thick milk. We took a think an debe charged us ten; cents each.
