THE ISLAND OF SILVERriTOR£

Birin, like the Kin* and tjaeen of a much greater

cumstance, in that jovial: i; made much separate
itnrireeeionon me. One tear thia A man ill oaf
draft of marine*, named Tom Packer, a wild nn
elearly youiur fellow, but the eon of a respectable
hiprri|rbt in Port,mouth Yard, and a ipiodscholar,
who had been weii brought up, comes to roc a.ter a
spell of danr :uu, and takes me aside by the elbow,
and says, swearing agnly :
“ Obi l>ari I hope I may not be the death of
Serjeant Oioooe one day l ‘
Now, 1 knew LLooce had always bore particu
ly hard on ting man, and I knew this man to be of
a veiv hot temper . o I **nid :
“ Tat ! nonsenae! don’t talk bo to me! If there a
a inan in the corpa who Brora* ibe name of an a*
anttm, tiiat man and Tom Packer are one.
Tom wipe* Lir. head, being in a mortal sweat, and
sayg he:
‘ I hope so, but I can t answer for myself when
be lords It over me. as he has ju-t now Cone before
a woman. I teU you what, G.i ! Mark my word*
It will go hard with Sergeant Drooce, if ever we
are in an engagement toge her, and he hafl to look
to me to wve him. I>et him Bay a prayer then, i.
tie kuown one, (> r it. ia aii over with him, and be ii

1 did mark his words, and very *x>n afterwards,
too, as will shortly he takeu down.
The other ciicumi-tunces that I noticed ut that
ball win the gaiety and attachment of Christian
George King. The inno-ent sp rite that Sambo
Pilot w> in. arid ti.e imp's -ibi.ity he found himseil
under of showing ah Ire little colony, but especially
the larliesand rtnUireu, how fond he was. of tb-in,
now devoted to them, and how faithful to them for
life and death, for present, future and everlasting,
made a great imp re: “ion on roe. It ever a man,
Sambo or no Sambo, was trustful Mid trusted, to
what may be called quit© an infantile and sweetly
beautiful extent,surety, I thought that morning when
f did at last lie down hi rest, It wa* that Sambo Pi
lot, Christian George King.
This may account for my dreaming of him % lie
cluck in my sleep, cornenv.se, and 1 cou.iin t get
l iiii out. He wae always Hitting about me, dancing
round me, and peeping in over my hammock, though
1 w.,ke and dozed off again fifty times. At lat,
when 1 Opened tny eyes, there he really was, look
mg m at the open aide of the litrte dark hut. which
was made of leaves, anil had Cbarker’s hammock
slung in it as well as mine.
‘ Si Jeer!” soys he, in a-art of low crooa —
“Yup!” ...
•'Hallo !” savs I, starting up. “What? Youare
there, are you ?”
• aaye he. “Christian George King got
news’’
What news has be got r”
“Pirates out I”
I was on uiy feet in a second. So was (marker.
We w.-re both a war - that Captain Carton, in com
mand of the boats, constantly watched the main
land for a secret signal, though, of course, it was
not known to such as us what the signal was.
Christian George King bad vanished btf ire we
touched the ground. Hat the word wts already
passing from hut to hut to turn out quietly, and we
knew that the nimble barbarian Lad got hold of the
truth, or something near it.
In a space among the trees, behind the encamp
ment of ua visitor.-, naval and mil tary.was a snug
ly screened ipot, where we kept the stores that
WBre in use, and did our r ookery. The word was
passed to assemble here. It was very quickly giv -
en and was given (so fur as we were concerned) by
Serjeant Drooce, who was as good in a soldier point
of view,as he was had in a tyrannical one. We
were ordered to drop into this -pace, quietly, be
hind the trees, one by one. As w e assembled here,
tljc seamen assembled too. \V ithin ten minutes, as
I should estimate, we were all here, except the usu
al guard upon the beach. Tiie beach (we could see
it through the wood) locked as it always had done
in the hottest time of the day. The guard were m
the shadow of the sloop’s hull, and nothing was
moving hut the sea, and that moved very taintiy.
Work had a!way been knocked off at that l our,
until the sun grew less fierce, and the sea-breeze
rose 1 so that its being holiday with us made no dif
fe'enec, just then, in the look of the place. Hut I
may mention that it was a holiday, and the first we
had Ic.d since uur hard work began. List night's
ball had becu given, on the leaks being repaired,
and tin; careei.ii g Cone. The worst of the work
wasover, and t 1-morrow we were to begin to get
the sloop afloat again.
VVmarines were now drawn up here, under
nuns Tin- >■’ ia e party were drawn up separate.
‘CI,,, men of the Columbus were drawn up separate.
Tt nicer., stepped cut. into the midst of the three
part ies and spoke so as all might hear. Captain
Carton was the officer in command, and he had a
Spy glass ID his hand, llis coxswain stood by him
with'anotherspy glass, it, h a state on which
lie -coined to have been taking down signals.
“Now, men!” pays Captain Carton, ‘T have to
let you know, for your satisfaction : Firstly, that
there ale ten pirate boats, strongly manned and
armed, lying hidden up a creek, yonder on tiro
coa.d under the over-hanging branches ot the dense
tree Secondly, that they will certainly come out
this night when the moon rises, on a pillaging and
murdering expedition, ot which some port of the
■ rutin land is the object. Thirdly—don’t cheer,
men '—that we will give chase, and, if we can get
at them, rid ‘he world of them, please Gwl I”
Nobody spoke thal I heard, and nobody moved,
that. l aw. Yet then* w. a a k’-iitf <>t riug, aa it
.•very man aiiHwered and approved with the bent
blood that wrb ineide ot him.
“‘Sir,” nays Captain Mai yon, ‘T beg to volunteer
on thw service with my boats. My people volun

when 1 saw them, then and there. The spirit in
those two gentlemen beat down their illness (and
very ill 1 knew them to be) like St. George beating
down the Dragon, l’ain anil weakic as, want ot

minds Ilian fear itself. Meauing now to express,
tor my lady to write down, exactly what 1 felt then

There was some debate about it. At last, it was
resolved to leave eight marines and lour seamen on
the Island, besides the eloop’s two boys. And be
cause it was oonstdci. and that the friendly Sambos
would only want to be i *mmauded in case ot any
danger (though none at all was i.ppiehended there,)
the officers were iff tavor ot leaving the two aon
conmiiMioned officers. Drooce and Clunker. It was
a heavy disappointment to them, just as my being
one of the left was a heavy disappointment to me—
then but not soon afterward. We men drew lo'B

So. ot course, did lour more of our lank and file
When this was settled, \ crbal instruct ions were
given te all hands to keep the intended expedition
secret, in order that the women and children might
not be alarmed, or the expedition put in difficulty
liy more volunteers. Tito assembly was to he on
that same spot, at sun ct. Kvery man was to keep
up an appearance, meanwhile, ot occupying him
self in Ins usual way. That is to say, every man
except four old trusiy seamen, who were appointed,
with an officer, to see to the arms and ammunition,
and to muffle the rullocks of the boats, and to make
everything as trim and swift and silent as it c ould
be made.
The Sambo Pilot had been present all the while,
iu east* of his being wanted, aud had said to the
officer in command, five hundred times over if he
had said it once, that Christian George King would
stay with the So .leers, and take care of the boolTer
ladles and the booffVr ehilds—boeffer being that na
five's expression for beautiful. He was now asked
a few cpti'sticms concerning the puling off ot the
floats, ami in particular whether there was any way
if embarking at the bai k of the Island ; which Cap
aitt l artoti would have half liked to do, and then
tave dropped round in its. shadow aud slanted across
co the main. But, “No. says Christian George
King. “No, no, no ‘1 old you so ten time No. no,
no ‘ All reef, all rock, all swim, all drown !’’ Strik
ing out as he said it, like a swimmer going mad,
aud turning over on his back ou dry land and splut
tering himself to death, in a manner that made him
quite an exhibition.
The sun went down, at.er appearing to be a long
tune about it. aud the assembly was called. Every
man answered to bis name, of course, and was at
his post. It was not yet black dark aud the roll was
only just gone through, when up corn’s Mr. Com
missioner Portage with hia Diplomatic coat on.

iirnorant, low-piaced, private soldier I was.
It was only lor La i a minute or eo. A man cant't
at all times be qnfee matter of himself, and it wii
only for half a mirate or l-o. Then I up and went
to my hat, and turned into my hammock, and fell

Just as I bad often and -r-e when I was a child and

might very sound, and yet very- re at heart all
through my sleep. I was awoke by the words—
'He it a deiermincrd man.’’ I had eprung cut of
my hammock, and had seized my fireiock, aud was
standing on the ground, saying the words myself
L* a determined man.’ But the cunostty of
my late was. tha‘ I sremed to he repeating them
aft- r Minebody. and to have been wonerfutly star
’ /cairie to myself I went out of the hat,

lenged, “Who goes there?” “A friend.’’ ‘Not
G.i?? ’ says he, as hs shouldered his piece. “Gill,”
6..’ I “Why, what the deuce do you do out of
your Hammock ?” says he. “Too hot for sleep,”
. . | “i- all right?” “liight? ‘ says Charker,
“y* : yes—all’s right enough here i what should be
wrong here ? It’s tLe bo-.U that we want to know
of. Except for fireflies twinki’ng about, and the
lonesome splashes of great creatures as they drop
into the water, there’s nothing going on here to
ease a man's mind from the boats.”
The moon was above the sea, and Lad risen, I
should say. some half an hour. As Charker spoke*,
with bis face towards the sea, I, looking landward
suddenly laid tr.y right band on his breast, and said,
“Don'tmove. Don’tturn. Don't raise your voice!
You never saw a Maltese lace l ere ?”
“No. What do you mean V’ he asks, staring at
, ... .
‘ Nor yet an Eng.;, n face, with one eye and a
patch across ‘he’ nose ?”
‘ “No. What ails you ? What do you mean ?”
I had seen both, looking at us round the stem of
a cocoa nut tree, where toe moon si ruck them. I
hod seen that Sambo Pilot, with one hand laid on
the of the tree, drawing them back into the
heavy hadow. I hail seen their naked cutlasses
twinkle and shine, ike bits of moomhine in the
wa'er that had got blown ashore among the trees
by ‘he light wind. I had Been it all in a moment.
And 1 saw in a moment (aa any man would,) that
‘he signalled move of the pirates on the main land
tea- apioi aud a feint that the leak had been made
to disable the sloop; that the boats had beentempt*
edawav, to leave the island unprotected; that the
pirates bad landed by some secreted way at the
bm k: ami that Christian George vu a dou
ble-dyed traitor, a most infernal vil ain.
I considered, still all in one aud the same moment,
that Charker wos a brave man, but not quick with
his head , and that Serjeant Drooce with a much
better head, was close by. Alii said to darker
ua.!, “ lam afraid wo are betrayed. Turn your
back full to the moonlight on the sea, and cover the
stem of the cocoa-nut nee which will then be right
before you, at the height of a man's heart. Are
you rignt V
■ I urn right,” says Charker, turning instantly,
and laiiing into the position with a nerve of iron ;
aud rigil ant left. IsitGiil?”
A few seconds brought, me to Serjeant Drooce’s
hut. lie wax fast asleep, and being a heavy sleep

Tee ii.'itant I touched ifiun tie came rolling out of his
hummo.k, aud upon me like a tiger. Aud a tiger
he was, except that he knew what he was up to, in
his utmost heat, as well a any man.
I Lad to struggle with him pretty hard to bring
him to his scti es, panting all the while (for lie gave
ins a breather.) “Sergeant, lam Gill Davis'—
Treachery ‘. Pirates on the Island I”
The la=t words brought him round, and he took
bis hands off “I have seen two of them within this
mmute.” aid I. Amd bo I toM him what I had told
Harry Charker.
His soldierly, though tyrannical head was elearin
an instaLt He didn’t waste one word, even of sur
pri'e. “Order the guard,” says lie, “to draw off
quietly into the Fort.” (Theycalied the enclosure
1 have beiore mentioned, the Fort, though it was
not much of that.) “Then get you to the Fort as
qu ck a-, you can. rou e up tvery soul there, and
fasten the gate. I will bring iu all those who are
up at the Sigual Hill. If we are surrouuded before
we can join you, you must make a sally aud cut us
out If you can. The word among our meu is, ‘Wo
men aud children!’ ”
He hurst away, like fire going before the wind
over dry reeds. He roused up the seven men who
were oil duty, and had them bursting away with
him, before they knew they were not asleep. Ire
ported orde s to Charker, and ran to the Fort, os 1
have never run at any olr.cr time in all my life: no
not even in a dream.
The gate was not fast, and had no good fastening:
only a double wooden bar, a poor chain, and a bid
lock. Those, I secured as well as they could be se
cured in a few seconds by one pair of hands, and eo
ran to that part of the building where Mias Maryon
lived. I called to her loudly by her name until ahe
answered. I then called loudiy all the names 1
knew—Mi l . Mac. y (Miss Maryou’s married sister,)
Mr. MMrs. Vt-oning,Mr. aud Mrs.Fisher,even
Mr. and Mrs, l’ordage. Then 1 called out, “All you
gentleman here, get up and defend the plane ! We
are caught in a trap. Pirates have landed. We
ure attacked I”
At the terrible word “ Prates” —for those villains
had done such deeds in Ihose seas as never can be
told in writing, and can scarcely bo eo much as
thought of—cries and sereama rose up from every
par! of the place. Quickly, fights moved about
from window to window, nnd the cries moved about
with them, and men, women and children came Hy
ing down into the square. 1 remarked to myself
even then, what a number of things I seemed to
..oat one- i noticed Mrs Macey comiug towards
me, carrying all her three children together. I no
ticed Sir. I'crdage, in greatest teiror, in vain trying
to get on his Diplomatic coat; and Sir. Kitten re
spectfully tying his pocket handkerchief ovet Sire.
Pondage's night cap. I noticed Mrs. Ilelltott turn
out screaming, and shrink upon the ground near me,
and cover her face in her hands, and lie, ail of a
bundle, shivering. Hut, what I noticed with the
greatest pleasure was, the determined ayes with
which those men of the Mine that I had thought
tine gentlemen, came around mo with what arms
they had ; to the full as cool and resolute as I could
be, for my life—aye, and for my soul, too, iuto the
bargain I
‘1 he chief person being Sir. Macey, I told him
how tbo three men of tho guard would be at the
gate directly, if they were nut already there, nnd
how Sergeant Drooce and the other seven were gone
to bring in the outlying part of the people of Silver
store I next urgtd him, for the love of all who
were deal’ to him, to trust no Sambo, and, above all,
if he c ai Id get any goodchauce at Christian George
King, not to lose it, but to put him nut. of the world.
‘ I u ill follow your advice to the letter, Davis,”
says lie; “ what uext f” My answer was, “I think,
sir, I would recommend you next, to order down
suoh heavy furniture and lumber as can he moved,
and make a barricade within the gate.'’ “That’s
good again,” es.ys he , “ will you see it done 7” “I’ll
willingly help to do it,” says I “ unless or until my
superior. Sergeant Drooce, gives me other orders.”
He shook me by the hand, and having told off some
of hia companions to help me, bestirred himself to
look to the arms and ammunition. A proper quick,
brave, steady, ready gentleman I
One of their three little children was deaf and
dumb. Miss Maryon had been from the first with
all the children, soothing them, and dressing them
(poor little things, they bad been brought out of
their beds.) and making them believe it wag a game
of play, so that some if them were now even laugh
ing. I had been working hard with the others at
the barricade, aud had get up a pretty good breast
work within the gate. Drooce and i lie seven had
come back, bringing in the people from the Signal
Hill, and had worked along with%s; but, 11 1 ad not
s > much as spoken a word to Drooce, nor had l)ro; oe
so much as spoken a word to mo, for we were both
too bogy. ‘I he breastwoik was now finished, and I
found Miss Maryon at my side, with a child in her
arms. Her dark’hair was faetened round her head
with a hand. She had a quantity of it, aud it look
ed even richer and more precious, put up hastily
out of tier way, than 1 had seen it look when it was
carefully arranged. She was very pale, but extra
ord tiarily quiet nnd still.
“Dear good Davis,” said she, “I have been wait
ing to speak one word to you.”
1 turned to her directly. If I had received a
musket ball in the heart, and she had stood there, I
almost believe I should have turned to hpr before I
dropped.
“This pretty little creature,” said she. kissingthe
child in her arms, who wins playing with her hair
aud trying to pull it down, “cannot hear what vre
*y —can hear nothing. 1 trust you so much, and
have such great confidence in you, that 1 want you
to make me a promise.”
“What is it, Miss?”
“That if we are defeated, and you are absolutely
sure of my being taken, you will kill me.”
“I shall not be alive to do it, Miss. I shall
have died iu your defence before it comes to that.
They, must step across my body, to lay a hand on
yon.”
“Hut, if you are alive, you brave soldier.” How
she looked at me I “Aud if you cannot save me
from the Pirates, living, you will save me, dead.—
Tell me so.”
Well I I told her I would do that, at the last, if all
else failed. She took my hand—my rough, coarse
hand—aud put it to her lips. She put it to herchild’s
lips, and the child kissed it. I believe 1 had the
strength of half a dozen men iu me, from that mo
ment, unti: the fight was over.
Ail this time. Mr. Commissioner Pordage had
been wanting to make a Proclamation to the Pi
rates, to lay down their arms and go away ; and
everybody had be >n hustling him about aud
tumbling over him, while he was calling for pen and
Ink to write ,t with. Mrs. Pordage, too, had some
curious ideas about the British respectability of her
nightcap (which had as many frills to it, growing in
layers one inside another, as if it was a white vege
table of the artichoke sort.) and she wou.da’t take
the night cap off, and would be angry when it got
crushed, bv the other ladies who were banding things
about, iu abort, she gave as much trouble as her
huso oidriid. Hut, as we were now forming for the
defence of thap ace. they were both poked out of the
way with no Weremcny. The children and ladies
w*-rc got into the little trench which sui rounded the
silver house (we were afraid ol leaving them in any
if the light buildings, lest they should be set ou
fire.! and we made the best disposition we could.—
There was a pretty good store, in point of amount,
of tolerable swords aud cutlasses. Those were is
sued. There were, also, a score or so of spare mus
kets Those u ere brought out. To my astonish
meut, l.ttie Mrs. Fisher that I had taken for a doll
ands baby, was not only very active in that service,
but volunteered to load tin spare arms.
“For I understand it well,” says she cheerfully,
without a shake in her voice.
“I am a soldier's daughter, and a sailor's sister,
and 1 understand it too.” .-ays Miss Maryon, ju3t iu
the same wav.
Steady anil busy behind where I stood, those two
beauiiiui and delicate young women fell to handling
the guns, hammering the flints, iockiag to the looks
and quietly- directing others to pass up powder and
bai t ts from hand to hand, as unflinching as the best
Sericant Drooce had brought in word that the pi

dred, was his estimate—a and that they were not,
even then, all lauded ; for he had seen them in a
vcry good position on the further side of the Signal
Hal. evidently waiting for the rest of their men to
come up. lu’the present pause, the iirst we had
since the alann, he was telling this over again to
Mr. M&cey, when Mr. Mat ey . uddeuily cried out:
“The signal! Nobody has thought of the signal !”
We knew of cO signal, so we could not have
thought of it. “What signal may you mean,tir?*’

’ Tutre is a pile of wocsi upon the Signal Hill. If

Cbarker cries, directly : “Serjeant Prooce. des

He made no complaint of pain, or of anything.—
“Good bye. oldchap,” was all he said, with a smile.
“I’ve got my death. And Death aint life. Is it
Gill?” . , ...
Having helped to lay his poor body on one side, I

“Close up here, gentlemen, ail!’’ said the Serjeant.
“A place too many, in the line.”
The pirates were so close upon us at this time,
that the foremost of them were already before the
gate. More and more came up with a great noise,
and shouting loudly. When we believed from the
sound that they were ail there, we gave three Eng
iieh cheers The poor little children joined, and
were so fully convinced of our being at play, that
they enjoyed the noise, and were heard clapping
their hands in the silence thal followed.

SAVANNAH, Feb s— Colton —Uur rejtortclosed
upon a quiet market- On Friday morning the Canada j

As this w as auric.pated, no decline took place here ; the
< emand, however, slacked off, the sales only reach ug j
49G bale'. On Saturday th’ receipts were 3,C07 bales,
being the nly day of the season wh ch they have ap
proximated to the quantity usually arriving. A goc.d
fi-macd existed, and with small offering stocks, t:e mar
ket grew fi-mer—footing 773 bales. On Monday
the market was animated and the competition amongst
buyers, combined with the indifference of sellers to
sales, forced prices tc higher—the sales reached 1 Gbu
bales. Tuesday ICI 5 bales changed hands, at another
advance of fc. Wednesday, several buyers withdrew
from the market, rendering the enquiry less brisk, and
limiting transactic ns to about 70U bales. From tho quan
tity arriving, it is fair to expect foil offenng stocks du
ring the coming week The receipts ot the present j
week, compared with the same week last year, snow an ;
increase of 2,811 bales. The decrease, during the en
tire season, is 103 529 bales. On Thursday, the v. either

-9 tion of their numerous customers aud the public

STOVES.
Onr assortment in this department is all that the most

latest designs. We think we hazard noth ng in saying
that we can offer a much greater variety in our line than
all other dealers in the city combined.
RANGES.
Having tested nearly all the different styles of Ranges
extant, we have for two years past sold Mott’s Patent
Invincible RANGE exclusively, believing the m to be
the very bast article offered. We have sold same twen
ty of these P-ang sin Augusta and vicinity, ad they
have never failed to give perfect satisfaction We will
sell to any customer with a full guarantee that those
Ranges are perfect ia their operation in every .particular
HOUSE FURNISHING GOODS.
In this department enumeration is out of the question.
Our assortment is, as usual, complete, and no effort will
be spared on our part to retain f r our house the j osit’oa
it has occupied for five years
that we keep more than dfcttMe the stock and variety of
any house in the city. anAours is, in fact, the place to
purchase House Furnishing Goods. The increase of our
business in this department has extirely exceeded our
expectations. Our efforts to establish a first-class Fcr-
.Store Lave been crowned with success Ly aa ap
preciating public, and our motto is “Upward and On
ward.'*
TINNERS GOODS.
We Lave in store aa nnosually heavy stock of Tin
Plate,
Pig and Bar Lead. Also, a large stock of Japanned
