A VISION OF LI CIFEK. “ On my return from my first voyage I had no inclination to live ashore, for I had quarrelled with every body in London, and near it. and 1 gladly accepted an offer made me by the captain of an Last Indian free-tra der, lying in the river, to sleep in his ship, and take charge of her. This, you know, is a practice with ship owners when in port; and the captain being proprietor of tVjje Mar vel hid me live at his expense, although I would have willingly been content with the lodging. One reason for his liberality was his wish to retain me as his watchman ; for. from a story having got afloat that the Mar vel was haunted, it would have been difficult to procure a trusty fellow to look after her; ard even then he might run away, in ease any rogue should personate a ghost to a- larm him. i: I was aware of the report gone abroad about the spirit of the mate, who hanged himself in a fit of phrenzy. appearing to those who slept on board ; but I was not in the humour tb care about goblins nor even Beelzebub himself: at least so 1 thought, accordingly took possession of the ship, and established myself in the cabin, where 1 lived like a hermit, upon what 1 found in the store room. I was. indeed, some such Fecluse as the rat who retired into a hollow cheese, to avoid the temptations of the world, for 1 had wherewith, in a fluid as well as a solid shape, to content any lover of good things; but I should have been satisfied with a biscuit and a slice of bacon, had not these luxuries offered themselves to my hand. “ For the first week of nty residence in the Marvel, no signs of supernatural visi tors were given, although I once or twice fancied I heard footsteps, or something like them, traversing betwixt decks ; but then I was satisfied, that if any feet caused these sounds, they could not be the feet of ghosts who walk not, but glide along without noise, and I always ‘convinced myself that it was nothing real, by going towards the place whenever my fancy startled my ears. Re sides I always took such care 'to fasten down the hatches and the companion door that 1 was certain no one could get down fce- .low, without giving me sufficient notice of ‘Jus intentions. The middle of the second week arrived, and found me laughing at the /ears of others, and free from any of my own, When one night I was awakened by a strange sensation, as if a cold hand laid upon my face ; and as my consciousness increased, | was almost certain l icit it distinctly with drawn. I fancied, too, that I heard a ein«r resolved neither to nsidions suggestions ofsu- which occasionally crept into mv mipd nor to endure the repeated breaking o!' my rest, the only comfort 1 at that time en joyed, I conceived several plans for l he de tection of the intruder, and the first I put in practice was this. “In order to render myself watchful, T spent the whole of one afternoon in trying to sleep and by means of darkening the cabin, I did sleep for several hours. At bed time I placed a candle in a dark lan thorn whi< h I concealed by my bed-side so that not one ray of light emanated from it: and I turned in determined to lie awake all night. However, in si ite of my resolu tion. I dropped into a doze a little before midnight, so strong is the force of habit, as well of the body as of the mind. I did not. however, sleep as soundly as if I had not reposed in the evening, and l was aroused by an indistinct sound, which came from some part of the ship, close to the cabin. Those who have set up late, and .-dept in their chair, and awoke suddenly in the dead of the night, may have occasionally experi enced a confused depressed, half super- stitous state of ideas, upon first breaking from their slumber, and finding themselves left in the dark by their expended lamp— cold, cheerless, and scarcely conscious of their exact situation. Such were my feel ings upon being disturbed from my sleep, heightened by various attendant circumstan ces. such as the expected 'visit of a ghost and the bentingofthe rising t deat the sides of the ship, which ro ked and pitched slight ly under the influence of a high wind. It was a cold November’s night, and 1 had not yet got warm in bed. I had retrained from taking my evening’s glass of grog, that 1 might lie awake, and a thousand nameless uncomfortable feelings harrassed me, with out any specific distress, or pain, or assign able cause. In fact, to use a common phrase, 1 aw oke in ‘ the horrors,’ and the certainty of having heard an unaccountable sound near me did not dispel them. I re solved. however, neither to move nor to draw breath audibly, that I might run the better chance of entrapping the. troublesome spirit, and indeed 1 felt a disposition to breathe short and lie still, which was very favourable to my purpose. In spite of one’s reason, there is a tendency in the human mind to foster and encourage fancies of su- pernatnrn! agency, and 1 perceived it in mine. 1 felt chilled throughout, and timid, though determined not to be so, and 1 was holding my teeth close, that they might not chatter, when suddenly the cold damp heavy touch of something like a naked arm was placed across my open eyes, which, upon my shrinking involuntarily, was as suddenly withdrawn. Summoning my courage, I shook off* a tremor that seized mv frame, and bolting upright in bed, laid hoid of my dark lanthorn, and turned it so as to throw a blaze of light over the state-room ; and you may judge of my terror when I beheld, not a ghost, nor a thief, but a tall, dark coloured serpent standing nearly erect by my bed side, with its eyes brightly gleaming from a head, frightful and appalling beyond descrip tion. Neyer in my life had 1 seen such a fearful object, for to the usual hideous and bolical spirit, for I knew that no animals but insects have more than a pair of visual or gans. In a state of mingled awe, doubt, and utter dismay, I remained holding my lanthorn. and staring at the dire counte nance of the serpent, which all the while stood erect, waving its body in the manner of a rope shaken at one end, while its tongue played around its lips, its eyes glit ter'd, and its scales gleamed. 1 felt, or fancied that I felt, as if fascinated by its glance, and began to give myself up for lost; for I had hoard of the power of fascination possessed by snakes, which deprives the victim of the energy to escape or defend itself. Besides, this creature, serpent, or devil, was not a small enemy of the kind, for it stood nearly four feet from the floor, which, as my bed was fixed dow ? n low, brought its head nearly level with my face; and my fear of moving, lest I should pro voke it to dart upon me, held me in a state of stillness complete as if I hud been riveted by the hateful influence of which 1 was so much afraid. Had it not beon for an nnnte disbelief of the existence of goblins, I should probably have spoken to the dragon who kept me thus at bay, for it had all the charac teristics of a (|omon, as far as the imagina tion cuulfl 'Wray an evil spir t in a visible form ; hui either scepticism or terror kept .my tong/ie quiet, and, while neither of us seemed disposed to do otherwise than stare at each other, my candle, which was nearly burnt out, sunk into the socket, and the flame expired. “ All my horrors before this moment were nothing to what seized me when I found myself exposed, in darkness, to the veno mous fury of an unknown, though undoubt edly a dangerous serpent. A long hiss, which it uttered, and which I deemed pre paratory to its springing at me, wound up mv feelings to a pitch of desperation, and, having nothing else at hand, I dashed my dark lanthorn to the place where it had stood when the light was extinguished. Whether my mis.- ile struck the reptile or fiend. 1 know nor, but a horrible his-ing filled the state room. and a rattling groping noise succeed ed, and in a sho^t time 1 heard my enemy behind the bulkhead, retreating swiftly, as its repeated sibilations indicated by their growing less audible. “ Bathed in a cold sweat, andygtiffened with fear as I was, I leaped out of bed as soon as I w r as assured that the devil was at some distance, and I ran stumbling upon deck as fast as I could, where I re mained till daylight. I then called a boat and went ashore, to relate my adventure to the captain. “(’apt. Y beard nty relation with jrreat attention, and with a little indication gliding sound rus^fe across the state-room. J disgusting aspect of a snake, were added who were vociferating the wild song by which they drive on the mules, and the dan gerous path they had to cross, formed alto gether a very interesting scene. As soon as the lead ug mule came to the commencement of the pass, lie stopped, evidently unwilling to proceed, and of course all the rest stopped also. 4 He was the finest mule we had, and on that account had twice as much to carry as any of the others ; his load had never been relieved, and it consisted of four portman teaus, two of which belonged to me, and which contained not only a very heavy bag of dollars, but also papers which were of such consequence, tViat 1 could hardly have continued my journey without them. The peons no’.v redoubled their cries, and leaning over the sides of their mules, and picking up stones, they threw them at the leading mule, who now commenced his journey over the >ath. With his noso to (he ground, literal- y smelling his way, he walked gently on, after changing the position of his feet, if he found the ground would not bear, until he came to the bad part of the pass, where he again stopped, and then I certainly began to loakwith great anxiety at my portmanteaus; but the peons again threw stones at him, and he continued his path, and reached me in safety ; several others followed. At last a young mule, carrying a portmanteau with two large sacks of provisions, and many other things, in passing the bad point, struck his load against the rock, which knocked his two hind legs over the precipice, and the loose stones immediately began to roll away front under them; however, his* fore legs were still upon the narrow path ; he had no room to nut his head there, out he placed his nose on the path on his left, and appear ed to hold on by his mouth. Jlis perilous fate was soon decided by a loose mule which came, and in walking along after him, knocked h*s comrade’s nose-off tiie path, destroyed his balance, and head over heels the poor creature instantly commenced a fall, which was really quite terrific. With ail his baggage firmly las'ned to him, he roll ed down the steep slope, unt i he came to the part which was.perpendicular, and then seeming to bound off, and turning round in the air, fell into the deep torrent on his back, and upon his baggage, and instantly disappeared. I thought of course that he was killed, but he rose, looking wild and scared, and immediately endeavoured to stem the torrent which was foaming about him. For a moment he seemed to succeed, hut the eddy suddenly caught the great load on his back, and turned him completely over ; down went his head with all the bag gage, and he was carried down the stream. As suddenly, however, up his head came again ; but he was now weak, and went down the stream, tmrned round and round by the eddy, until passing the corner ot the rock, I lost sight of him. I saw, however, the peons \v,th their lasos in their hands run down the side o.f the torrent for some little distance; but they soon stopped, and after of doubt, till I was nearly ended ; but when I came to describe the visage of the appari tion, he fell into such a choking fit of laugh ter, that"! (envied he would have expired in an agony of mirth. At length, he became calmer, and, while he wiped tears of merri ment from his eyes, he told me he believed my vision of Lucifer was nothing else than a large Cobra de Capello. which had belong ed to the mate who killed himself aboard the ship. * The mate,’ added he, ‘ was the last person who occupied the state-room, for, being disposed to be solitary, he volun teered to reside in the Marvel, as you have done. This serpent he bought qf some jugglers in India, who used to exhibit seve ral of the kind to the sailors, and it became his favourite pet, as he was always inclined to singularity of habits and likings. Its visits to you, I dare say, were only the con tinuance of a custom he had taught it of warming itself in his bed, when it was chilly; and had you received it kindly, instead of staring it/ out of countenance, you would have foui/d it a very amusing companion ‘ But,'cried I, in astonishment, k the Co bra de Capello is a most poisonous serpent!’ * So iris,’ replied my friend ; ‘ but the In dian sna^e-eharmers take out their fangs before they teach them to dance, and this had doubtlessly undergone that operation What you took for rage and menace, was only one of the tricks of dancing it had been taught by its first masters, and it was ex hibiting its accomplishments before you, to induce you to take it into bed, when you threwthe lanthorn at it.
