especiall) as he was desirous of procuring some employment, to assist in whiling away ihe hours of his captivity. lieutenant Dennis eagerly i esught at the proposition—he conceiv'd that hi* services as an officer would be of great value— and thought that, of course, no danger would be apprehended from investing him with the power for which he asked; he did not even require bis parole. Turner was accordingly forthwith in stalled in the office of second mate of the schoon- ; er—and put in charge of the starboard watch. Matters passed on smoothly enough for awhile | .—the men soon got accustomed to receive orders from Turner, and obeyed them wi’h alacrity— they found that he was an active officer and a | thorough seaman, and respected him accordingly; and under his management the schooner went off like a witch on a broomstick. In those day*, “ Temperance ships” were not go common as at the present lime. There was a good stock of “ old Jamaica” and “ London par ticular Madeira” on board, and Dennis and O’Brien were not, either l»y profession or prac tice, friendly to the principles of total abstinence from intoxicating drinks. Several days passed away—when an occur rence took place which produced quite a revolu tion in the feelings of all an board. It was a pleasant afternoon the schooner had approached nearly to the chop* of the English Channel—the wind blew a gentle breeze from the northwest— and the Purse was silently sliding through the water, at the rale of three or four knots. Lieu tenant Dennis, after having sett ed his dinner with half a bottle of Madeira and a tumbler of still half and half grog, had turner! into his berth, and was sleeping away at the rate of nine knots and a hah an hour. Mr. O’Brien, who had been rendering some assistance to his superior officer, in diminishing the quantity of liquors on board, had thrown himself down on a soft plank under the quarter rail—and was emulating the example of his commanding officer, in the most praise worthy manner. The larboard watch and the caok were below in the forecastle—the starboard watch were on deck, and employed about some triflingjobs. Mr. Turner thought that this was a good time to carry into execution a daring de sign which he had matured, for taking possession of the schooner—and forthwith proceeded to put it into execution. In the first place he possessed himself of his pistols, and saw that they were in good order— then he unceremoniously entered the Lieuten ant’s state room—awakened him from a sound sleep, and rather uncourteously insisted on pin ioning his arms, and lashing him 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, he would blow his brains out without scruple, in a truly scientific manner. The Lieutenant, of course, submitted to these arbitrary exactions, although not with a very' good grace, for he considered them unreasonable —and then Turner, in order to insure his silence, introduced, as gently as possible, a plump-bolt in to his mouth—secured it there by means of a rope yarn, and left him “alone in his glory,” to “chew the cud of sweet and bitter fancy.” Mr. Turner then went on deck—and ordered the watch aloft to reeve the gear, rig out the booms, and make the necessary preparations for setting the top-gallant and royal studding sails— and he soon found an excuse for relieving the man at the helm, and sending him up to the fore top mast cross-trees also. As soon as all the crew were off deck, he approached O’Brien, the mate, roused him with a sturdy kick, judiciously administered —and told him in a quiet and re spective manner, that he 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 his 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 begged Turner to tie him as asy as possible—to which Turner, with a bland smile, assented. This proceeding was not witnessed by any of the crew, who were busily 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 sight of the crew. He then shut over the lid of the fore scult’c, and placed upon it a kedge anchor, and some other heavy articles—thus effectually pre 'lenting a aortic from any of the inmates of the forecastle. Then stepping out on the main deck, he called upon one of 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 passed 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 the rigging—but stopped on be holding the young and resolute American stand ing firmly on the main 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 re-take the vessel—and that he would kill the first man who stepped on deck without his orders, or w’.io even came below the cross trees until he was called. A man never argues so forcibly as when he points a loaded pistol to your bosom —his logic is unanswerable—and in this instance these seamen found it so, and re treated to the cross-trees, agreeably to his sug gestion, without giving him farther trouble. Turner then coo’y went to work to make pre parations for securing that part of the crew com posing the starboard watch. He called them down, one by one, and the men obeyed him with great promptitude, though not without grumbling a little, and expressing, rather freely, their opin ion of the character of the Yankee trick. He pinioned their arms snugly behind them, and fastened them to ringbolt* on the deck. Then be went to the fore-scuttle, which, after considerable 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 out were unsuccess ful and they awaited with some degree of anx iety the result of the singular and suspicious movements on deck. Their suspense was soon at an end—for Turner, after he had cleared a way the kedge, lifted the lid. and stood at the scuttle, pistol in ordered them to come on deck, separately-and submit to be securely bound as they passed the scuttle. They had no alternative but to submit—and in less than half , an hour after he had commenced operations, this voung man, by no means remarkable for physical power, solely by the exercise of energy, courage and resolution, had mastered the whole crew— and they lay before him, one and all, bound, awaiting with no little anxiety, the next act of this singular pantomine! His object was now to get lid of his prisoners and to procure assistance to manage the vessels. Among the crew were three stout Irish tars, with whom previous to the cri»i«, he had occa sionally conversed —and he had satisfied himself that these men had a most unconquerable antip athy to a British man of war, and would readily assist in any feasible plan to free them from the worse than Egyptian bondage in which they were held. He commenced with them on this subject—and they eagerly acceded to bis propo sitions to assist him in getting rid of the ether prisoners, and in navigating the vessel to a French port. He trusted to their honor, and they did not deceive him. He removed the cords which con fined their limbs—and with a good will these four men set themselves at work to boi*t out the long boat, which after a while, by the help of the windlass and cupstain, they succeeded in do ing. They pul into it a supply of sail and O-ra. a quadrant, compass, charts clothing, provisions, and water—and then bundled the Lieutenant, mate and men into the boat—cut the bonds of the last man whom ihty threw m, and the boat’s painter at the same time; shoved her off; wish ed them a pleasant voyage; filled away the yards; and night corning on they soon lost sight of the long boat and the wonder stricken crew who made the best of their way for the channel, and were afterwards picked up by an English man-01-war while Turner shaped his course for the coast of France, and by dint of good management, he passed the British ships of war on that station, and in a few days arrived safe in Nantz. Turner feared that he might fare hard ; if the Purse, with him on board, should fail into the hands of the British after the caper which he had cut —especially as he did not know the fate of the men he had set actift in the long boat—and there fore he returned to the United States in the American sloop of war John Adams. The Purse arrived in safety, and the owners very pro perly gave the command of her to Mr. Turner— who performed several voyages successfully to France after this occurrence look place. 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 for 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 Bela, fer she cats green apples lika 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.
