DAILY ENQl'IKER - SUN: CO ELMIR'S. GEORGIA. SUNDAY MORMXG, MAY :n>. R^n. THE CHAMPION. It was during the time of powdered hair and cocked hats the year 1871. otf Philadelphia lay the 20-gun ship Ariel, just arrived under command of Com modore Paul Jones. Tin re was in the city many persons who had neVer seen that remarkable man, among them the subject of this sketch, Ren Wilson—a trim, powerful young Jack Tar of 25, who had lately married Susan | (tray, an humble but beautiful damsel of In. There had been another suitor, also a i sailor, named Thomas Wright, who hated j Wilson because Susan had preferred him. and who, being of a cruel, malicious dis position, longed to do him some injury. | Having finished his term aboard one of j the vessels in the harbor, Ben shipped aboard the Ariel, that he might serve un der the renowned hero, who, with his i craft, the Bon Homme Richard, had fought the English frigate Serapis. Learning that Ben had shipped; Wright | who like the former, had never.seen Jones, I also became one of the Ariel’s crew. Nei* j thcr, however, could yet get sight of the commodore, who was absent would not ! he back for a week. In a few days Wright was chosen to act I in the place of the boatswain's mute, who I was at time ill. His duties, besides blow- | ingonthe call, etc., now being to punish with the colt—a coil of rope from two to three feet h>ng and also with the catro- nine tails, usually termed the “eat,” such j of the sailors as ‘offended* against the rules of the ship, he ardently hoped that, j he might yet have a chance to flow with his cruel lash the man lie hated for win ning pretty Susan. One day somv of the crew were granted | liberty -that is to say. permission to go I ashore. They wen ordered to return to \ the ship at J o’clock. The boatswain’s j mate, Wright, and Ben Wilson were 1 among them, the former on the watch for the coveted chance which might favor his | « vil designs. Unfortunately, lien drank, and in a state of partial intoxication he visited, a few minutes before 9 o’clock, when he should have repaired to the boat, ! “The Dolphin" a tavern not twenty yards i from the landing. Here the landlord an- * eommodated him with a glass of brandy, , which the young man lifted high, saying , at the same time, in a loud voice : “A health to Commodore Paul Jones!” Then he left the place, not to go to the boat, hut intending to seek some other tavern. It was a dark night, hut by the bright light streaming through the windows of the house Ben could see a middle-sized, broad-shouldered man, enveloped in a shaggy overcoat, watching him with a mingled expression of stern disapproval and amusement on his broad, weather beaten face.” “Hold, there, my man,” said this nerson, laying a hand on his shoulder. “What’s vour name, and what ship do you belong to?” “My name? Why, now, my name is Ben Wilson, and my ship is the Ariel, but blast me, if 1 know what business it is of yours?” “It is time you went to the boat. You will get yourself into trouble if you don’t go in time. Bear a hand.” “Aye, aye, all very well; but I ain’t ready yet, do you see ?” “Come, you must go!” and the hand on Wiison’s shoulder pressed it heavily. “Let go of me!” cried Ben angrily ; but the other, half smiling; gripped him yet more firmly. Then Ben made a blow at him. which the man parried, when a struggle ensued. Ben fought his best, but the man at length succeeded in prnsping him around the arms from behind, in which position Wil son was literally carried to within a few fathoms of tlie boat, when, seeing a num ber of the sailors approaching^ the stranger released his hold, and, laughing, made off in the darkness. Ere Ben could pursue, the cox wain and several other seamen arrived on the spot and drew him to the boat. “It’s lucky you came when you did,” said the coxswain. “We couldn't have waited for you many seconds longer.” “I wouldn’t have been here if old Nick or somebody like him hadn't brought me,” was the lvpjy. “A citizen, probably,” said the other, laughing. “We all said that some one had hold of you, but couldn’t make out who il was in the darkness.” Just then the ontswain’s mate, Wright, who had been an unseen witness of the struggle toward its termination, but who, in tin* gloom, lmd not been able to obtain a good view of tin* stranger’s face, made his appearance, coming from tin* same direc tion in which the man had vanished. “It was 1," he whispered to tin* cox swain, who brought Wilson. “He attack ed me near the Dolphin, because I request ed him to go to tin* boat. I had to let him I loose when 1 got him most lu re, and run. as you saw, for 1 was afraid lie would stab j “Ha!" said the coxswain, “it will go i hard wit h Wilson for strikinga boatswain’s mate. lie will be court-martialed am! “I am afraid so.” said the hypocrite, | while in his heart lie congratulated him-! self on this occurrence, which so well fa- 1 v«tivd his evil designs. Tin* boat’s crew was soon aboard when ! Wright lost no time in reporting that lu ; h id neon attacked and struck by Wilson, i This the latter denied of course, saving il j was a citizen and stranger with whom he had his combat, but he was not believed , and was, i he re fore ironed and put into the brig to await the sentence of a court mar tial. The court martial was held the next day. w ln'ii Jones arrived on board. Wilson I being still kept in the brig whence he | could not see the commodore. There was i a singular expression in the face of Paul , Jones when the court-martial was ended, and the sentence of the prisoner a dozen j lashes on the bare hack with the cat was I pronounced. The next morning was ap- j nointed for the execution of the sentence. When the time came the boatswain gave a ! ioud blow on his cull and shouted: “All hands on deck to witness punish-j ment!" The master at arms brought up the pris oner and took off his irons. On one of the ; gratings, placed just forward of the gang- i way, he mas made to stand, his feet being I fastened with worming, and his hands se* j cured wide apart, to the bulwarks. Then* he stood, his back hared, his cheeks red with anger and shame, liis eyes Hashing 1 indignation at the unmerited punishment j he was about to suffer. Along came 1 Wright, scarcely able to conceal his exult ation as he drew the cat from its sheath j and lovingly stroked the strings. “Go on, boatswain's mate,” said the cap tain. Wright lifted the hush on high, hut at i that moment the voice of Paul Jones, who I now appeared, boomed like thunder on his startled ear: “Hold! Avast, you rascal!” And he stepped round, so that Wilson could see him. The young sailor looked ! up at him with a start, then colored, then turned pale. “Commodore,” he stammered, “I—I— my trod, sir!—I was a little in liquor on that night, but I recognize your face. It was you who took hold of nie there by the Dolnhhin talvern, and carried me almost to the boat. Aye, aye, sir. and God knows 1 would not hauve struck at you had 1 known who it was—that it was Commo dore Paul Jones.” “Enough,” said the latter, “I forgive you.” " Then he turned his eagle eyes ,, who turned deadly pale and‘cowered k "lne court-martial was a mere farce,” A continued Paul Jones. “I wanted Vj see if this rascally Wright would really have t e heart to cnrrv out this accursed falsehood, i Now cut loose that man Wilson and put | Wright in his place. Give him a round | dozen, then let him he broken and put in the after-guard. His chief punishment will he that of his having macle^an enemy bv his dastardly conduct, of every man alioard this ship.” Tile commodore’s orders were obeyed. Wright, with over.v man against him, af ter this, led such an unhappy life aboard the Ariel that he attempted one night to desert the ship. When in the water lie was seen by n murine on guard and order ed to come buck, but not obeying, he was shot through the head and killed. As to Wilson, the fact of his having struck, under the influence of liquor, a man who proved to be Commodore Paul Jones, had such an effect upon him, that, never after that, greatly to the joy of his pretty wife Susan, would he touch another drop of alcohol.
