especially a* he was desire jia *>f procuring some )
employment, to assist in y>hiljng away the hours
of his captivity. LieuUiiaot Dennis eagerly i
I caught at the proposition--;he conceived that his
services as an officer woul?{ i>c of great value—
% and thought that, of course, no danger would be
apprehended from investing I’in with the power
lor which he asked; he di|l not even require bis
parole. Turner was accordingly forthwith in
stalled in the office of secr’ad mate of the schoon
er—and pul in charge of i;he starboard watch.
Matters passed on smoothly enough for awhile
—the men soon got accittlionutl to receive orders
from Turner, and obeyed them with alacrity—
they found that he was an active officer and a |
thorough seaman, and ref lected him accordingly;
and under his management J tie schooner went
off like a witch on a orooriisrick.
In those days, “ Temperance ships” were not
so common as at the presa jit lime. There was a
good stock of “ old Jamuipa”, and “ London par
ticular Madeira” on and Dennis and
O'Brien were not, either Uy profession or prac- j
tice, friendly to the print; lies ot total abstinence
from intoxicating drinks. 1
Several days passed away—when an occur
rence took place which p-roduced quite a revolu
tion in the feelings of sfjil sn board. It was a
pleasant afternoon the schooner had approached 1
nearly to the chops of tt<‘ English Channel—the
wind blew a gentle breeif fiom the northwest—
and the Purse was si 1 early sliding through the
water, at the rate of thru-, or four knots. Lieu
tenant Dennis, after having sett ed his dinner
with half a bottle of Madeira and a tumbler of
atill half and half grog hjtd turned into his berth,
and was sleeping away i|t the rate of nine knots
and a hall an hour. Mr! O’Brien, who had been
rendering some assistance to his superior officer,
in diminishing the quiiltity of liquors on board,
had thrown himself <km ,i on a soft plank under
the quarter rail—and was emulating the example
of his commanding officer, in the most praise
worthy manner. The £arl oard watch and ihe
cook were below in the forecastle—the starboard i
watch were on deck, uqd employed about some I
triflingjobs. Mr. Turner thought that this was
a good lime to carry intf execution a daring de
sign which he had mutu;ed,for taking possession
of the schooner—and forthwith proceeded to put
it into execution.
In the fiot place he jlossiessed himself of his
pistols, and saw that thv?y were in good order—
then he unceremoniously entered the Lieuten
ant’s stale room—awaktned him from a sound
sleep, and rather uncoujrteously insisted on pin
ioning his arms, and Dishing lam to his berth
at the same time assuring him. in the most re
spectful language, that if he made any noise, or
called for assistance, would blow his brains
out without scruple, in * Duly scientific manner.
The Lieutenant, of caurrie, submitted to these
arbitrary exactions, tujbough not with a very
good grace, for he considered them unreasonable
—and then Turner, in prder to insure his silence,
inlruduced, as gently a-' possible, a plump-bolt in
to Ills mouth —secured it there by means of a
rope yarn, and left hiiri “alone in his glory,” to
“chew the cud of swciii: and bitter fancy.”
Mr. Turner then wanton deck—and ordered
the watch aioft to reeve the gear, rig out the
booms, and make the ijiecessary preparations for
setting the top-gallant luid royal studding sails—
and he soon found arj| excuse for relieving the
man at the helm, and lending him up to the fore
top mast cross-trees siilso. As soon as all the
creyv were off* deck, hi* approached O’Brien, the
mate, roused him with; a cturdy kick, judiciously
administered—and told him in a quiet and re
spective manner, that'ha was under the disagree
able necessity of tying him, neck and heels—and
ifhe made any resistance, or raised a single note
of alarm, he should be compelled, unwillingly,
to lodge a bullet in Lis head. His arguments
carried conviction to the mind of O’Brien—who
saw at once the reasonableness of the request,
and submitted to be tied—but bogged Turner
to tie him as asy ar possible—to which Turner,
with a bland smile, evented.
This proceeding wms not witnessed by any of
the crew, who were l?usiiy employed aloft. Tur
ner then went forward on the forecastle, and part
ly lowered down the square-sail, for the purpose
of still screening his operations from the sigiit of
the crew. He then «jbni over the lid of the fore
scutt’c, and placed upon it a kedge anchor, and
some other heavy articles—thus effectually pre
venting a sortie from any of the inmates of the
forecastle. Then stopping out on the main deck,
he called upon one cjf the men by name, and or
dered him to come doWn from aloft. He obeyed,
and as soon as he reached the deck, Turner ap
proached him and pitssed a lashing around his
arms, almost before the man was aware of what
he was about. The sailors aloft saw this move
ment on the part of Turner, and one or two of
them shrewdly suspected some foul play, commen
ced descending ihe rigging—but stopped on be
holding the young ejid resolute American stand
ing firmly on the maiii deck,with a cocked pistol in
his hand, pointing towards them, and three others
by his side. He told them in plain terms, that
he had bound the officers—that he intended no
injury to any man on| board—but that he was re
solved to rc-toke the* vessel—and that he would
kill the first man who stepped on deck without
his orders, or wlio «veu came below the cross
trees unlit he was qallcd. A man never argues
so forcibly as when Ins points a loaded pistol to
your bosom—his logfic fit unanswerable—and in
this instance these teamen found it so, and re
treated to the cross*-trees, agreeably to his sug
gestion, wilhout giving him farther trouble.
Turner then eWy went to woik to make pre
parations for securing that part of the crew com
posing the starboaid watch. He called them
down, one by one, jjiwl the men obeyed him with
great promptitude, ihough not without grumbling
a little, and exprewMng. rather freely, their opin
ion of the character of the Yankee trick. He
pinioned their arms snugly behind them, and
fastened them to r:ngboUaon the deck. Then he
went to the fore-scuttle, which, alter consioerahle
labor he disencumbered of the kedge anchor, &c.
The seven men in the forecastle had been a
ware that something stiange was going on above
—but their attempt* to get cut were unsuccess
ful and they awaited with some degree of anx
iety the result of;lh« singular and suspicious
movements on der’k. Their suspense was soon
at an end—for Tuitier, after be had cleared a
way the kedge, liftled the lid. and stood at the
scuttle, pistol in r.jnul, and ordered them to come
on deck, separately »-nd submit to be securely
bound as they patted the scuttle. They had no
alternative but to ijcbmit—and in leae than half
an hour after he ‘r ;i.l Commenced operations, this
voung man. by nri tnirena remarkable for physical
power, solely by-.»• jßxercise of energy, courage
and resolution. ?<1 bartered the whcle crew—
and thev lay before him, one and all, bound,
awaiting with no! lit tle anxiety, the next act of
“ . I
this singular panpmtme:
His object watiy.ow to get lid of his prisoners
and to procumqasi stance to manage the vessels.
Among the crew were three stout Iriah tars,
with whom prep rints to the criaia, he had occa
sionally converse^ — nnd he had satisfied himself
that these men hyltl a most unconquerable antip
athy to a British foan of war, and would reedily
assist in any fcai>,TU plan to free them from the
worse than Eg) juifeu bondage in which thoy
were held. He commenced with them on this
subject— and they eagerly acceded to bis propo
sitions to assist ijiiuv in getting rid of the other
prisoners, and in navigating the vessel to a French
port. ;
He trusted to jthrir honor, and they did not
deceive him. He removed the cords which con
fined their limb# — and with a good will these
four men set thciYsdves at work to hoist out the
lonir beat, which, alter a while, by the help of
the windlass an j eu-palain, they succeeded in do
ing. They put into it a supply of rail and o-re.

Political Ship News— The following is
from the marine report of the New Orleans Bee
of the Ist inst. It is worth something for its
novelty, as well as for the information which it
gives of the progress of the good cause among
the hardy boatmen of the west:—“ Steamboat
North Star, (from Cincinnati} passed 108 flat
boats and 21 rafts with Tippecanoe signals hoist
ed, and 2 flats and 1 raft fo;r Kinderhook sour
krout.”
A boy was lately asked by the catechist of the
school, “ who first bit the apple,” to which he
replied, don t know—but guess it was our Bets,
for she cats green apples hk« the devil.”
Addison considered woman as a beautiful ro
mantic animal that may be adorned with furs and
feathers, pearls and diamonds, ores and silks.
A Rumor.— We don't believe it. — lt is ru
