M. QUAD’S-STORY.
ROBBED AT SEA.
(Copyright, 1813. by Charles B. Lewis.]
The English trading firm of Parshall,
White & Enderby at Yokohama, with a
branch hou.se at Kelung, in the island of
Formosa, owned a fleet of small coast
ing vessels, ahd upon a certain' date,
when it was desired to transfer $20,000
■in silver from the former to the latter
port, the brig Dolphin was selected. The
money could have been sent by steamer,
but the brig was bound down and con
sidered just as safe, and there would be
no charges to pgy. The money was put
jjp in boxes. SI,OOO to a bos. and each
rbox was then headed up in a barrel of
J flour. This was of course done in the
warehouse and very secretly, as that
sum of money would have tempted the
most honest trader to turn pirate.
The crew of the Dolphin consisted of
captain, mate, cook, four able aeaifieiT
ahd an apprentice. Mr. Hope, 7 the cap
tain: Mr. Williams, the mate, and. the
apprentice boy who tells you the story
were English, while the cook and fo’mast
hands were Japs. While they understood
orders given in English, the mate alone
understood bheir language. This man

produced an unfavorable impression on
*■ all hands except the captain, who seemed
to be attracted to him from the first
glance.
A sailor instinctively feels that there
is something wrong with an officer who
doesn’t do more or less cursing and
growling, and when we were three days
out of Kelungand Mr. Williamshad not
uttered an oath nor threatened a man
with a belaying pin, it was the general
verdict *of the fo’castle that he was a
queer man and probably a bad one. We
f hoped he would leave us at Yokohama,
' but if he had any such idea the captain
persuaded him to remain. When the2o
barrels of flour came down with the oth
er cargo, they created no suspicion
among the hands, although we

and two night/in
We left Yokohama one morning with
a fair wind for a direct run to Kelung,
and for four days all went well. Every
body aboard the brig had noticed a Chi
nese lorcha hanging in our wake, but she
might be as honest a trader as the Dol
phin, and no particular interest was tak
en in her except by myself. There were
several reasons for this. The Dolphin
was a slow sailer, and the lorcha ought
to have come up hand over hand. She
was not a pleasure craft taking things
easy, and after she had hung to us for
three or four days I began to wonder at
heractions. Lwasin Mr. Williams’watch.
He had to make one of the working force
and take his trick at the wheel. On the
third watch, when he took his trick from
10 so 12 o'clock, I accidentally discovered
that he had hung a lantern on the stern
as if for a beacon. 1 relieved him at mid
night. apd the light was still there.
Just before 2 o’clock he took the wheel
and sent me forward, and when we
turned in the lantern had disappeared.
On the fourth day the sight of the lorcha
astern, following us like a hungry wolf,
excited considerable comment forward,
but our captain seemed to give her PQ
attention. The mate was nervous and
jjneasy all day, and when night came on
cloudy and dark, but with no increase of
wind. I was almost determined to go to
the captain and state my suspicions,
Had 1 done so 1 should have been kicked

assured of this. 1 prepared for what I
inspected would happen,

few minutes the mate relieved him. 1

»nd could see aft. but neverthe
less I felt sure "that the lantern went
over the stern within a short time after
the n_jte took the wheel. We were
loiaiug our course ana jogging along at
she rate of five or six miles an bom - , and
a couple of hours had passed since
camo on deck, when I suddenly hear
the flap of canvas, followed by a shock
I had no need to run aft to know wha
had happened. Guided by the lantern
the lorcha had crept up and run along
side of ns, and the first thing I saw wa;
men working to make her fast. to us.
She was Hot as long as the brig, and
grapnels were thrown from her rail to
make her fast to onr main shrouds.
She came alongside with only a liglr
shock, and I hadn't fairly made up
mind what was going on when half r.
dozen men sprang over our starboard
rail. There was no shooting, shouting
or knocking down. Williams called to
me to relieve hin at the wheel, and as 1
took his place he shook hands with the
men, jabbered away for a minute, and
then all went into the cabin. The cap
tain had been asleep, but aroused by the
shock was preparing to go on deck when
confronted by his mate and the stran
gers. When he demanded’to knowwhal
was going on, Williams answered him in
a civil way:
••Captain Hope. I and my friends have
taken possession of the brig and that
$20,000, but no one has been hurt or wil.
be unless we are driven to it. You an
perfectly helpless in the matter, and the
best thing you can do is to keep quiet.’’
Thereupon the captain of course pro
-ceeded to raise a row and was knocket
senseless for his foolishness. The stran
gers were Chinese and a hard lookini
lot, but they had no desire to shed blood
They left a guard over the captain and
came on deck and threw the brig up inti'
the wind, and then proceeded to break
out the barrels of flour and transfer
them to their own craft.
While I believe the plot was unknown
to any of the crew, they were only tern
porarily surprised at the capture of oui
craft. When told that there was a thou
sand dollars in each barrel, they begged
permission to join the pirates, and ah
but the cook were accepted. He had
sailed with Capttiin Hope for several
years and was not to be tempted from
duty. When the fellows began break
ing our cargo, the mate ordered me to
put a bag of biscuits and a breaker ol
fresh water into the yawl. As soon a
the last barrel was over the rail the mate
and one of the crew went below and
bored boles in the brig’s bottom! When
they returned to the deck, Mr. Williams
said to the captain, who was on his feet
again:
“Captain Hope, I have scuttled the
Dolphin. My idea was to leave you and
the boy aboard to go down with her. bu;
as we have got the money so easily, and
as there is no possible show of onr being

wind and sea had drifted us out of sight
' into the darkness, and we never saw the
, brig again. The lorcha probably remain
ed near until it was certain she would go
down.
i For about half an hour after we were
set afloat the captain hadn’t a word to
say, appearing to be stunned by the dis
aster which had overtaken him. Then
Wsy

TH$ CAPTAIN WAS KNOCKED SENSELESS,
he began cursing anu raving ana Kept 11
up for a long hour. He blamed the mat<
every one of us, though his own ini
prudence had caused all the trouble
When he had disgusted himself with hi
ravings, he began to figure on pur posi
tion. The noon observation had put u
to the west of the Bonin islands by 20
miles. Wt were now drifting before :

morning by the captain's watch befor
auv one oneued his eves.
•inewma naa then named into tne
west and was stronger, and we were
obliged to make a drag and bring the
boat head to the Sea to prevent disaster.
Lying thus, she drifted along at the rate
of four or five miles an hour. The cap
tain was silent and sulky, and during
the entire day scarcely uttered a word.
We sighted several sails, but they were
too distant to observe a signal. The
breeze increased at night, but all of us
slept as before. On this second morn
ing tne captain was m better spirits,
telling ns that if the breeze held on we
should make one of the Bonin group by
night. He also had great hope of being
picked up during the day, and the cook
and I took kurus acting as lookout.
Twice that day we were within three
miles of sailing vessels which did not see
us, ami a uig treigui .steamer piowea
along considerably nearer than that
Without paying any attention to our sig
nal of distress. It was about 4 o’clock
in the afternoon when we sighted Sun
flower island, the southernmost of the
group and one of three lying about five
miles apart. We should have been driven
ashoj<i~uTrrtNx>bal>lv drowned in the'surf
tut for our paddles. We finally got a
anding on the south side of the island
and had scarcely set foot on shore when
we heard the report of firearms.
Knowing the island to be uninhabited,
we at first thought a trading craft or a
whaler might be anchored in the bay on
the east side. Captain Hope ordered the
two of us to remain by the boat while he
entered the woods to investigate. This
was about sundown. In the course of
an hour he returned and reported that
the lorcha of the piratical gang was
anchored in the bay and the crew mak
ing merry ashore. He could not sei
Williams, and two of our sailors who
had joined were also missing. Every
thing went to show that the men ashor
meant to stop there all night. Then
were nine of them, and they were feast
ing and drinking by the light of a bip
fire.
1 had not yet told Captain Hope of the
weapons I had stowed away in the yawl
When he observed that if he had a couple
of men with him he would try to capture
tbe lorcha, I brought out the weapons
and offered my assistifhee. The cook also
volunteered, and within 15 minutes*&
had determined on a plan. We launchW
our boat and paddled her around to til
bay, which was about three miles dil
tant. The bay extended inland for ir
mile, and we found the lorcha anchored
within 200 feet of the beach. It was 10
o'clock when we sighted her, and the men
ashore were still awake. We hung ofa
and on for them to get quiet, and it was
after midnight before we moved. They
had gone ashore in a boat, and our first
move was to secure it.
We landed the cook half a mile away,
and he crept along the beach to the boat
and set her afloat just as the tide turned.
When we had picked him up again, we
headed for the lorcha and made fast to
her bows without being challenged. Re
moving our shoes and the captain lead
ing, we boarded her, to find she was tak
ing care of herself. There was no one
in the fo'castle, but lying fast asleep on
the floor of the cabin were two men who
had been left as anchor watch. They
were not made prisoners, butai ere killed
by the captain and cook

an English man-of-war on
from Formosa, and in her companyT®
ran back to the bay.
A landing was made, but only one of
the gang was captured. He stated that
Williams and two of our sailors had
been murdered before the lorcha entered
the bay, tne object being to make a
larger divide with the rest of the gang.
They also intended to kill two others.
They intended to land and bury the
money next day, and remain on the
island for several weeks before making
any further move. The fellow went up
to the yardarm as soon as his story was
finished, and the island being covered
with a dense growth of 'forest, which at
that season wgs dry as tinder, the cap
tain of the man-of-war contented him
self with starting a conflagration, which
swept the island as bare as a rock.
The flames must have driven every
man of the gang into the sea and to his
death. We got two men from the naval
vessel to make up otircrew, and the spe
cie was safely landed at Kelung. The
firm lost about $3,000 on tho difference
between the value of the brig and the
lorcha, but there tyore no complaints.
Captain Hope was made a hero of for a
year or two subsequently, and though I
heard him relate the story twice and have
read portions of it a dozen time? in the
papers, I never could hear pr find any
Uamo but his own. Tho cook and 1
shared his misfortunes, but when it
camo to the glory we were referred to a

Atlanta, Dec. 11 —The bond qnes

by tbe senate vot’ng against reconsidera

to reconsider failed a passage and all is
d-ad. There is a very general sentiment
m the senate and the house and those
W io have studied this question, that a
grave mistake has been made and one
'hat will iejiire the credit of Georgia. A
tn «j irity of the house voted for the pay

ful study that they are valid, unpaid
outstanding obligations of the state and
tnat they should be paid. There is no
question whatever about the Hays bonds
aud the question tbat has been, not

the Scott bonds does not seem tenable.
