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. Tax Collector’s Sale.
