L i. 6ALt • CO„ WASROA, x. mL I T PAYS TO ADVEitTISE IN THE The brig Dolphin of Nantucket, owned and commanded by Captain Abner Bideford, with his wife Mary on board, was making a voyage from Boston to Cadiz. The year was 1784. There had been peace with England for a year, but in granting the colonies their independence the mother country bad insisted on the right to search any American vessel in any water and at any time. The pretense was that Eng- lish subjects were continually desert- ing his majesty's service and shipping cin American craft. It was therefore Captain Bideford's plan to keep clear of any armed vessel flying the British flag. He bad a crew of Nantucket men, every one of whom had served in the cause of liberty, and he began worrying about what might happen before he was 200 miles at sea, His wife saw that he was disturbed, and she said: "Abner, when we left home I do be- lieve that I forgot to fasten the wood shed door." "What's that to worry about?" he asked. "Jest as much as your fear that we may be overhauled. Let's wait until we seea Britisher bearin' down on us before we git dizzy headed." But Captain Abner had just made his noon observation when a sail was sighted to the eastward. There was a feeling from the first that she was a British man-of-war. Half an hour later all doubts were dispelled. The stranger was not only a man-of-war, but he had changed his course to meet that of the brig. "I told you so!" exclaimed Captain Abner to Mary as he pointed to the die - taut sail. "Yes, Abner; you did," she replied. "And now he'll board and press two or three of the men, even though we haven't got a half a one to spare." "Waal, it's no use to give up till we have to. I should keep right on and pay no 'tention to him." There had been a stiff breeze all the forenoon, and the few clouds driving overhead had a squally look to them. Captain Bideford's first idea bad been to run away; but, realizing this would provoke curiosity and pursuit, he de- cided to stand on. As the craft neared each other the man-of-war kept all fast and seemed about to pass on with- out notice. Of a sudden, however, he fired a solid shot across the brig's bows and hove into the wind. "That means heave to and be board- ed!" shouted Captain Abner as he pre- pared to give the necessary orders. "lint don't you do anything of the kind!" protested Mary. "IIe's no more right to stop you than you have to stop him." "By Josh, then, but he'll blow us out of water!" "Let him blow! Abner, you're no pan if you give up licked to a Brit- isher who has bin beaten in war!" The Dolphin held her course. The British captain brought his big craft around in pursuit and opened fire with his bow chasers. When his shot began falling about the brig, Captain Abner and the crew were for bringing her to, but Mary shut her teeth together and grimly said: "Abner, if you let that Britisher board you before he shoots away a mast I'll not go back home to hear you called a coward." So the Dolphin held on, though be- fore she got out of range the shot splashed water on her deck. She would have eventually made a clear escape but for loss of the breeze. When it died completely out, the two craft were three miles apart. The man-of- war promptly lowered a boat with an officer and six armed men to pay a visit. "Waal, you see that boat comin', I s'pose," said Captain Abner as Mary stood beside him. "If you hadn't inter- fered, I might have got off 'without anybody bein' taken." "If I hadn't interfered, you'd have gone back to Nantucket to be sneered at by everybody in town. Jest you watch and wait. It looks bad, but sunthin' may turn up." The boat came on with long, regular strokes and in half an hour was along- side the brig. The lieutenant in charge came over the rail, followed by three marines with loaded muskets. He had hardly touched the deck when ho sang out: "You impudent blackguard of a Yan- kee, but why didn't you heave to when we fired a gun?" "Because we didn't feel like it!" an- swered Captain Bideford, who had all his coolness now that the crisis was at band. "What! What! More impudences My turkeycock, but you need a lesson In manners. As a beginning I order you to douse that rag!" "I shall do nothin' of the kind. II you want to make a prize of this brig, go ahead and haul down her flag. If hot, then take yourself off:" "Oh, you won't muster your crew, eh?" sneered the lieutenant. "It is as we suspected—too many British de- serters aboard! Well, I'll soon weed them out without your help. Here, you Yankees, muster at the mast!" Had the crew been backed by the captain they would have refused to line up on the deck; hut, receiving he encouragement from him to resist, they shambled aft to the mainmast and got In line. They wire six able seamen, the mate and cook not being included In the miter. The lieutenant !m - Vested five out of the six. It Sams an outrage W mato his blocil boil yet ad 'e Captain Capt hi TIl(teford realized that be was huiplecs. 'There was force enough behind the officer to back him up in wbutev,rr he wished to do. The men looked appealingly at the captain, but he turned away in sorrow and de. spair, For the last ten minutes Mary Bide. ford• had been watching the sky and the British man-of-war and had been seemingly oblivious of what was going on beside her: She now turned to the captain and quietly said: "Jest sort of carelessly squint Into the southeast and tell me what you see." "By gosh, but it's an oxeye squall or I'm no sailor!" whispered Abner after a look. "That's what it is, and they see it aboard the frigate and have run up a flag of warlike. The men in the boat can't see it, as they are on the wrong side, slid the officer is too busy with his conceit. If we can hold our men ten minits, we can save them. You go and talk to the mate and post him up, and I'll have a few words with the of- ficer." The officer was not averse to an ar- gument While waiting, and Mary took care to keep him interested by allow- ing him to do most of the talking. She was seeking to gain nine or ten min- utes, and she succeeded. Then three things happened all at once—the im- pressed men appeared on deck with their bags, the frigate fired a gun, and the squall came roaring down like an angry lion. It was a miracle that the brig was not dismasted at once. She went over to leeward until her yardarms dipped, and only the loss of a portion of her sails saved her from foundering out of hand. In ten seconds daylight was turned into semidarkness, and there were shouts of terror and despair from every soul on deck. It seemed a long five minutes, before the Dolphin lifted herself out of the foam and went fly- ing away before the wind, and as she started the boat which had been along- side with the three marines and four sailors in it was seen floating bottom up. When the brig 'had been made snug. Captain Bideford coked about him. Mary was just freeing herself from the lashings which bad saved her from go- ing overboard, and not a man of the crew had been lost. What seemed like retribution had overtaken .the others, however. The three marines had dis- appeared, and the lieutenant lay among the spare spars in an unconscious con- dition. No one looked for the man-of- war. While the fury of the squall was spent after half an hour, It was followed by a breeze which ran the Dolphin below the horizon. "Weal, Alaner," said Mary when things had been straightened out and the unconscious officer had been re- moved to the cabin for treatment, "mebbe you'll believe in Providence after this." Early Prejudice ce A;ni oat Potatoes. The way of the potato was said to have been barred by the prejudice that it was never mentioned in the Bible. In the Lothians it came in about 1740, the year of the famine. from Ire- land, but was confined to gardens till about 1754, when it was planted in fields about Aberlady. By the close of tile century it was a general article of diet. Ramsay says that George Henderson went about 1750 for a bag of potatoes to Kilsyth, where the Irish method of field culture had lately been tried, and introduced the potato into Mentieth, where a few had been known, but only in kale yards. Tile old folks, however, did not take kindly to the new food. Old George Bachop, one of tire Ochter- tyre tenants, when told by his wife that she had potatoes for supper said: "Tattles! Tattles! I never supped on them a' my days and winna the nicht. Gie them to the herd and get me sowens." It is significant that Burns, who sang the praises of kale and por- ridge and haggis, should have nothing to say of the potato. — Blackwood's Magazine. Pantomime Performances, Most pantomine characters were originally borrowed from the Italians. The first real English pantomime was produced at a theater in Lincoln's Inn Fields in 1720. It was called "Harle- quin Executed," and its subtitle was "A New Italian Comic Scene Between a Scaramouche, a Harlequin, a Coun- try Farmer, His Wife and Others." The performance was very successful. About the middle of the eighteenth century the character of pantomime performances was completely altered, chiefly because of the genius of the famous Grimaldi, who made the clown the first figure in the pantomime. Gri- maldi first appeared at Sadler's Wells theater, where he played the part of a monkey. Ile was actively engaged on the stage for forty-nine years, and at the close of his career he took a bene- fit at Drury Lane theater, which real- ized nearly £000. He also received £100 from the Drury Lane fund. This was in June, 1828. He died in 1837 and was burled in the churchyard of St. James' chapel, Pentonville hill, A Sailor'. Compliment. Through all the years they were to- gether Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont lived for her husband, as before her marriage she had lived for her father. Her brilliant mind, her heart and her hands were constantly busy in her hum - band's service, and a gallant sailor's compliment shows that her devotion was widely recognized. During the civil war, when Admiral Porter had command Of the Federal fleet on the Mississippi, his flagship was the steamer Benton, named after Mrs. Fremnont's father. The admiral named the little tender of the flagship ressie Benton Fremont, and he wrote to Alrt.
