from THE I.ONUON V. SERVICE JOURNAL TOR NOVEMBER.
her Vick afloat nruixu ii.o late aa ah.
Being the Personal Narrative, of a Nat al Officer.
In the month of December we repaired to
English Harbour to refit. On tin's occasion I
had an adventure which had well nigh proved
a tragical one. Among the crew before the
mast, was one Jonathan Williams, a stout ath
letic fellow, measuring about six feet two in
height, with an outline and proportion- evincing
corresponding muscular powers. i’ftis man,
Hhortly after the commissioning of the K ,
had, in spite of his pica of American citizenship,
corroborated, as 1 believe, by a certificate of
naturalization, been impressed from an Lnglish
merchant ship. This was an occurrence by no
means rare ; especially as the similarity of lan
guage and national traits between individuals of
the two nations, left no leading marks whereby
to discriminate between the two; moreover,
these protections were easily counterfeited, and
therefore little regarded. Indeed, the* fact was
notorious, that spurious documents, (an ordinary
article of traffic among the crimps in the Arne
rican sea-ports,) could at any time he procured
by our seamen for a few dollars. A reason
aide apology was thus offered for the frequent
repetition of an act which had no small share in
exciting a hostile feeling against us in all parts
of the Union, and which otherwise might cer
tainly have been deemed indefensible. In this
instance, however, there were some colla
teral circumstances, which, with the consisten
cy and engergy so characteristic of truth, dis
played in his unceasing remonstrances againgst
the injustice ol his detention, allorded a strong
presumption favorable to U illiams’ chains.
Some months having elapsed, and the little at
tention paid to his case affording but a faint pros
pect of emancipation, he determined on closer
tion. Accordingly, seizing the opportunity
while the vessel was alongside the wharf in En
glish II; irbor, he with two or three others effect
ed their escape*. Ihe only channel by which
they could finally leave the island being by the
merchant ships in the harbor ol St. John s, dis
tant about twelve miles, it was naturally con
jectured that their flight lay in that direction,
and with a view to intercept them 1 was sent
round to that place. At the end of a week,
spent in fruitless inquiries and vain attempt to
trace them, 1 was on the eve of returning from
my unsuccessful misssion, when accident cl
fectcd that which my endeavours had failed in.
I had taken up my lodgings at a tavern in the
town, kept by a French woman, among the
numerous inmates of which, principally masters
of ships, was a merchant, a resident of the place,
with whom 1 had previously been acquainted.
This man having occasion to visit a brig, of
which lie was the owner, and which was loading
in the harbour, proposed to me to accompany
him. It happened to be a boisterous day; but
the wind being fair; and the vessel lying well
up the harbour, a canoe manned by two ne
groes, which wo hired, soon wafted us along
side. 1 had been but an instant on board when
the principal object of my search, the fugitive
Williams, little expecting such a visiter, unex
pectedly popped his head up the fore hatchway.
The sudden appearance of some terrific spectre
would not have caused a greater revulsion of
feeling and consequent expression of counte
nance, than that which the sight ot so unwel
come a visiter produced at this moment. The
poor fellow, pale, paralyzed, and dumb from the
surprise, for a few moments uttered not a word.
But gradually recovering his self-possession, he
seemed quietly to resign himself to his fate, and
without offering the smallest resistance, walked
aft to the quarter deck as desired. More taking
up a large tin pot lying by the side of a cask of
what appeared from the color ot its contents to
be water, he drew olf a considerable quantity
which he drank oft". This turned out to be white
rum—the effects of such a stimulant may be
readily imagined. They were neither slow in
their development nor disproportioned to the
potency of their influence. Such a dose as he
had imbibed was more than sufficient to screw
the moral energies, already in a state of strong
excitation, to a higher pitch than was necessary
for a much greater enterprise than that which he
suddenly conceived and as promptly executed.
Having from his assumed quiet demeanour no
suspicion of what he meditated, 1 had gone for a
moment to the opposite side of thedcck, and was
looking in another direction, when turning round
I gmy prisoner had disappeared. W atch
,a B'. he had leaped into the canoe,
dcaiUg the gunwale at a bound. And wdien I
looked over the side had already her clear
of the vessel. 1 now beheld him in the attitude
s>f menacing the two boatmen, who after a
•light and ineffectual resistance, were retreating
tp the bow of the bout. It was a scene lor the
pone.’a .In his red woollen shirt, without a hat,
his dart shaggy hair closely matted over his
bronzed forehead, with a hoard unshaven, per
haps, from the moment ofhis quitting the K 1
resolution, anxiety, hope, and fear, all blended in
liis agitated countenance —there he stood, or
rather stooped in the boat, a marine Goliah, —in
one hand brandishing the formidable clasp knife
usually suspended round the necks of seamen
td the two sable boatmen, comparatively pig
mies, and who had now fairly surrendered and
were crouching with every sign of astonishment
and pusillanimity in the how of the canoe; while
with the other he was endeavouring to retain
the mast in its erect position, the sail having
partly blown loose and luffed her broadside to.
In this dilemma, no boat being alongside, I
was for a moment at a loss what to do ; how
ever, having no time for deliberation, I sprang
into a small punt lying under the counter, the
only one belonging to the vessel, and followed
by my friend the merchant, who, in defiance of
the gale, readily undertook to render assistance,
we shoved off from the vessel ; and the canoe
having been delayed by the causes already stat
ed, we succeeded in getting up with her, just as
Williams, having got her once more before the
wind, was setting the sail, and she was acquir
ing rapid way. Unluckily, in my eagerness to
board, I jumped into her stern ; and my com
panion, whose motions were not sufficiently a
gile to follow or lay hold of the canoe, was left
fairly in the lurch, and got adrift. Thus I re
mained solus to grapple with my formidable ad
versary, who now, wrought up to frenzy by the
effects of the potation from the rum cask, and
the probable frustration of his hopes, looked
scarcely human. Having summoned him to
submit, and pointed out to him the consequences
of aggravating his crime by resistance, he once
more drew forth his knife, and glaring wildly
on me with eyes inflamed with liquor and ex
citement, he in a broken and sepulchral tone
thus addressed me. “ Mr. ,lam a native
American born; I am determined to have my
liberty, whatever may he the consequences, and
you had better not attempt to prevent me.” The
only weapon I had about me was a small uni
form dirk, four or five inches long, and made
more for ornament than service. This 1 had
drawn forth, and standing over him, was menac
ing him wi ll it, when suddenly with one hand
seizing my wrist, with the oilier he wrenched
the weapon from me, and closing upon me got
mo down in the bottom of the boat. The bre
vity of this conflict, if any tiling had before been
wanting, effectually demonstrated the odds to
which I was opposed, i was like an infant in
his powerful grasp. In a moment 1 found my
self transferred to the other element, with as
much apparent ease as one might fling overboard
a spaniel. Whatever might have been his mo
live, after a few seconds, during which I found
myself retained under the sides of the boat,
which by her heeling nearly level with the wa
ter 1 contrived to cling to, he suddenly relin
quished his iron grasp, and I, like a drowned
rat, crawled once more into the boat. For this,
perhaps, I was indebted to the appearance of a
large boat, manned with six or eight men, which,
pulling up the harbour, and passing at the dis
tance of half a cable length, was no sooner
perceived by my adversary, than he jumped o
verhoard and swam towards her ; and J, with
out reflecting on the rashness of a further pur
suit of such an adversary, threw myself after
him, and with no small difficulty reached the
pinnace just after he had been taken on board.
The crew naturally sympathising with him, e
vinced no great alacrity in picking mo up, arid
but for a circumstance or two, I might have far
ed but badly : moreover, it was only by dint of
the threat to make them responsible for the pri
soners evasion, that, after a considerable par
ley, they were prevailed on to put us on board
the nearest merchant vessel. Here again J had
to encounter the same difficulty. The master,
under the plea of not being able to spare an on
ly boat, absolutely refused to accede to my de
sire of being conveyed on board the Guachapin
guard ship, which was lying at some distance
round a point in that part of the harbor called
the Uarcuago. In this dilemma, an occurrence
suddenly gave a new turn to the affair, and de
cided the skipper to comply with my washes.
All at once the prisoner, making a last desper
ate effort, sprang over the gunwale, and threw
himself at the risk o r his neck into the boat, &
endeavoured to cut her adrift. It was almost
ludicrous to observe the change which this sud
den proceeding w rought in the tone and bearing
of the skipper. He now flow into a violent rage,
and showed himself ready, by any means in Id's
power, to ritl himself of so troublesome a guest.
He was my prisoner, was accordingly secured,
and finally lodged in safe custody on board the
guard vessel. In this almost mortal struggle,
I found that I had received a wound in the hand,
cither bv my own dirk or the knife of my ad
versary, w hich I had remained unconscious of
until advertised by the blood which streamed
from it.
This man, on his return to the ship, under
circumstances that might have shaken the con
stancy of the firmest, displayed a fortitude and
equanimity which astonished every one on board.
This was more particularly shown on the follow
ing occasion. Being short of complement, the
service of an able bodied individual could not
well be dispensed with, particularly in action.
On getting to sea, therefore, it was proposed to
liberate him at the hour of mustering to quarters.
—This would probably have led to his further
enlargement, and in the end might have averted
the fate which in the opinion of all awaited him
under the aggravated circumstances ofhis case,
and in the absence of sufficient proof ofhis na
turalization as an American. This, however,
he refused to accede to. On the first occasion
of his being brought on deck, he refused to take
a share in any part of the duty; nor could the
remonstrances of the officers, the heavy denim
ciation of vengeance, or the menaces of instant
death from the captain, make him swerve
his resolution- The latter, wound up to the high
est pitch of anger by such n pertinacious ex
ample of disobedience in the face of the whole
shin’s company, at lenght ordered his pistols to
be brought, and threatened to blow his brains
out for mutiny, if he continued any longer re
fractory ; this, however, produced as little effect.
While the Captain was actually stamping with
rage, and alternately threateding to hang or to
shoot him, the prisoner with the most imperturb
able coolness and self possession addressed him
thus : “ Capt. I am an American citizen ;
vou have no right to detain me. lam in your
power, it is true, and you may shoot or do what
else vou please with me ; but 1 am determined
never more to touch a rope or do a stroke of duty
—a——gas—r.B
in your ship.” I have never seen an instance of
greater determination than this man exhibited.
Though fully alive to his critical situation, he
remained firm and unshaken as a rock, till at
length he was once more ordered below. Here,
before the gun room bulk head, immediately
under the main hatchway ladder, lie remained
several months in double irons. Our distance
from head quarters, constantly cruising, prevent
ed an opportunity fur bis trial. This delay
proved fortunate for W . Time at length
brought a termination to his sufferings. The
promotion and appointment of the captain some
months after to a frigate, caused a relaxation in
his rigorous treatment, and finally led to his re
lease and discharge from the service.
Knitting Work. —The ladies of Xew-Eng
land have, from time immemorial, been distin
guished for their industry. That no time may be
lost, they take their knitting when they go a vi
siting, and both talk and knit at the same time.
This industrious disposition was, last winter,
manifested at a grammar school, taught by an
acquaintance of ours. The ycung ladies bro’t
their knitting, their fingers flew, and the needles
clicked incessantly, while the teacher was lee
tuning.
This industry was considered by the master
as a little out of place, and as interferring some
what with the progress of his fair pupils in know
ledge. Indeed, he suspected they advanced
more rapidly with their stockings than with their
grammar. Ho washed to hit upon some mode
of suppressing this vexatious industry. He was
somewhat of a wag, and he choose a waggish
expedient. He turned the- tables upon the knit
ters —not, indeed, by actually bringing his knit
ting work, but what was equivalent thereto—
namely, an apparatus and materials for shaving
shingles.
He arrived at the school-room betimes, took
his seat at his shaving horse, and was busily en
gaged in shaving shingles when the young la
dies arrived. They were quite surprised nt this
new movement, and knew* not whether they
should retreat, or take their seats.
“ Don’t ho alarmed, young ladies.” said the
teacher, who kept plying the drawing knife;
“you see I’m an apt scholar myself, and have
merely caught a little of your spirit ot industry.
It is a pity that any time should be lost; and as
you have set the example of learning grammar
and knitting at the same time, I have resolved to
emulate your industry by teaching grammar and
shaving shingles at the same operation.”
He then began to lecture very eloquently up
on nouns, pronouns, conjugations, declensions,
and the like—stopping every now and then to
take a squint at his shingles to see if they were
properly jointed. The ladies felt the retort :
they blushed and tittered, while he lectured and
made shingles.
“ Confound the grammar !” said he ; “ while
1 was talking about the vile objective case, I’ve
spoilt as fine a shingle as ever was shaved.”
He then went on teaching again : “ All verbs,
as I have already explained to you, are either
active, passive, or neuter. A verb is said to be
active when—by George ! there’s another shin
gle spoilt !—the action passes from the agent to
the object as thus —Edward cuts a figure—faith i
I’ve cut that shingle the wrong way !—Ladies,
you’ll excuse me, if 1 do make more than com
mon use of the interjection to-day. The fact
is, I’m not used to work and teach at the same
time. But I beg you would not suspend your
knitting on account of rny ill luck. I shall
doubtless improve in a few days, so as to do two
tilings at once with very decided advantage.”
The young ladies, however, knit very little
during the lecture ; and what they did was so
badly done, that they were obliged to unravel it
after returning home. The master’s expedient
had the desired effect, and the knitting work was
seen in school no more.— N. Y. Constellation.

JE. White & William Uapr,
ISTy- ESPECTFULLY inform the Printers of the
j 8 fe. United States, to whom they have long been in
dividually known as established Letter Founder?, that
they have now formed a co-partnership in said busi
ness, and hope from their united skill, and extensive
experience, to be able to give full satisfaction to all
who may favor them with orders.
The introduction of machinery, in place of the tedious
and unhealthy process of casting type by hand, long h
desideratum by the European and American Founders,
was, by American ingenuity, and a heavy expenditure
of time and money on the part of our senior partner, first
successfully accomplished. Extensive use ol the ma
chine cast letter, has fully tested and established its
superiority, in every particular, over that cast by the
old process.
The Letter Foundry business will hereafter be car
ried on by the parties before named, under the firm of
WHITE, HAGAR and Co. Their specimen exhibits
a complete scries from diamond to 11 lines Pica. The
book and news type being in the most modem light and
style.
WHITE, HAGAR and Co. are agents for the sale of
the Smith and Rust Printing Presses, which thev can
furnish to their customers at the manufacturers’ prices.
Chases, Cases, Composing Sticks, Ink, aud every ar
ticle used in the Priming Business, kept on sale, and
furnished on short notice. Old Type taken in exchange,
for new at 9 cents per pound.
