A iijingr Sitin'*, Mint or ; the
SSaiay Pirates.
BY ROGKR STARBCCK.
A lii'hl breeze from the Souib wrink
led the sea, gently wafting the brig-
I Centurion upon her course. Sbe was
j standing along about forty miles to the
1 uor'ili-eust of the beautiful Use us Ota
herre, in ibe Pacific Ocean.
A mail in the foretop, coding ? rope,
chanced to glance ahead, where, about
a mile distant. In- beheld a canoe con
taining one occupant. The latter, by
her dress, lie concluded was a female.
She stood upright, waving a white
cloth, as if to signal the brig.
The naan gave notice, and, using bis
glass, the captain discovered that the
woman was an Islander.
Wondering why she signaled him.
lie lowered a boat and was soon along
side of the canoe. Its occupant was a
beautiful creatine. Per eyes were
large and dark, her black lo ir hung
I below Iter waist, her naked feet were
no larger than pearl shells. Her garb
was a loose robe of purple cloth, trim
med with red ; she wore a wreath of
her native flowers, and a string of beau
tiful beads around her neck.
ler voice was charmingly musical,
it sounded like the silver tinkle of wa
ter in some coral cave.
1 “Well, my beauty,” said the cap
tain. smiling, “tvliat do you want of
me ?**
“ Want to go aboard,’ she answered,
directing a terrified glance behind her—
“ Malay pirate anchor off island, and
de captain want to carry poor Sibylla
away !”
“The duse ! Sibylla—is that your
name ?”
“Yes, O, pleaso takee me aboard
your vessel. No want to go with Ma
lay bad man ; ’fraul he sometimes get
knife and quick kill me.”
“You speak good. English for an in
lander,” said the captain.
“Yes. Long time ago Englishman
come ashore here and leach me how to
speak, and a little how write.”
“Why are you afraid of the Malay ?
There are plenty of vour own people
ashore to protect you.”
The girl shook her head.
“Father, mother, brother, all gone,”
she said, and a cotlple of tears rolled
from her eyes. Then she raised her
beautiful orbs heavenward, and with a
look of touching sorrow, crosssu her
hands on her bosom.
The captain was much affected, as
also the seamen.
Such child like simplicity, such
charming navette 1
The skipper helped her into the
boat and took her aboard.
“I will carry her 1 1 New York with
me,” said he to his mate, “and she
shall have home with my mother.”
At this Sibvila pressed her cheek to
the captain’s shoulder, and then kissed
his hand, to show her gratitude.
“God bless,” she ejaculated fer
vently. Meanwhile a long, sloop rigr
ged boat, with lateen sail, and evident
ly filled with men, rouned the north
point of the Island and stood along on
the starboard lack at right angles with
the brig.
“Suspicious/” ejaculated the mate,
while Sibylla clasped her hands.
“The Maylays !’ she exclaimed,
“the pirates coming now ; lookout!”
“They cannot fetch us,” said tiie
captain, “unless we should have a
change of wind.”
Soon a fog rose, screening the Ma
lav craft from sight. When it cleared,
three hours later ; the lateen sail bore
far away, appaaerTtly no bigger than a
sappling.
Sibylla now came on deck, and
threw herself upon her knees before
the’skipper, with the moonlight falling
upon her lovely countenance.
“Ah, caotain,” she murmured, “we
must go back to island. We leave
lappa (cloth) ashore ; forget to bring
away.”
“Never mind,” said the captain.”
“I will give you some cloth. I have
some aboard as good, I doubt not, as
that which you left.”
' Sibylla colored and after a moment’s
hesitation, replied :
“Me want my cloth, because it was
present from my brother —r.o other
cloth so good as that. Please let me
go in canoe.”
•‘No, no, if you must go, why I will
wear ship and stand in close to the
island.”
The girl thanked him, and with
slanging eves watched the l>r:g as it
came round. The breeze was blow
ing fresli, and in the course of a few
hours, the Centurion was witnin a mile
of the island.
Meanwnile the lateen sail of the pi
rate vessel was now visiblo a league
the windward.
“Lookout for pirate.” said Sibylla
anxiously, “heller go into bay behind
those rocks”—pointing directly ahead
—and pirate not *ee.”
“A good plan.” said the captain—
“but is the water deep enough there to
float us ?”
“Yes. plenty deep,” answered Si
bylla, coloring.
The skipper braced forward, and
the vessel soon was dashing along to
ward the bay the at a rate of len knots.
“Now, me will go !” exclaimed the
girl : and gliding over the side, she
descended in her rmue.
To the surprise of all hands, how
ever, instead of directing her liyht ves
sel shoreward, she began pad'Hing out
to sea. In fact, idle was going siaiglil
lor the pirate vessel, and must soon
meet it!
“What can that mean ?” eritd the
first mate to the captain.
“1 don’t know, unless slip wants to
fetch the further point of the Island,”
replied the s.kipper.
As he spoke a sudden grinding noise
was heard along the brig’s keel !
“My God, we are grounding.” roar
ed the mate.
“Hard down with that wheel !”
shouted ttie captain to the helsmm.
Before the order could be obeyed
the crushing of the keel against sunk
en rocks was heard, down went the
foremast bv the board, and over went
the poor brig noon her beams ends with
the water bubbling and boiling over
her bows.
Instantly the captain had bis boats
lowered, and endeavored to low the
brig clear, but in vain.
“Catch me trusting so a woman
about nautical matters again !” lie ex
claimed. “M V craft 's a gone case, all
from mv taking that island girl’s ad
vice.”
“In mv opinion she knew all about
the shallowness of the bay !” cried
the mate, “and did this to betray us ■
Sec there !”
He pointed seaward, glancing in
which dircctoin the skipper now saw
Sibylla being helped aboard the pi
rate vessel from her canoe !
“All, betrayed we are, sure enough !”
cried the skipper ; that girl was evi
dently in league with the pirates, and
was sent to lure us here.”
He boarded bis vessel, and armed
his crew of twenty men with hand
spikes. crow bars, revelers, whaling
spades, and other implements.
Then he walked forward and load
ed an old ten pounder just abaft the
windlass.
The pirate was now within a mile
of the brig, and the dark forms of her
savage crew upon the knightheads, in
llie foreriggin and about the rails, were
distinctly visible ir. the moonlight.—
Watching them with bis nighiglass.
the captain estimated their nuinher at
one hundred or more, and perceived
that they were all armed to the teeth.
Now God help us. if those rascals
get afoul of us. “he said to his mate.
We cannot resist so many.”
He looked at the ten pounder re p
flecli vely.
“Everything depends upon that.”
said lie. “One shot from this gun. if
directed right, will sink the Malay’s
pena and save us. I have a wife and
child at home, and do not care to have
my throat cut by yon ler rascals.
“So have Ia wiie and child,” said
the mate, and my life is of great value
to them.”
There were many other married
men aboard who had left’ families at
home, and the closed teeth and flash
ing eves of these brave fellows pro
claimed a resolute purpose to fight to
the last.
The captain glanced around him
and tears can.e lo his eyes. Then he
again looked at his single gun and
sighed heavily.
“If there was only somebody aboard
used to handling guns,” said he, “there
might be some hope for us.”
“Tom Chucks,” said the mate; “I
have heard said that served in a man
o* war and that there never was a bet
ter gunner than lie ; what a pity that
he is below in the forecastle, sick and j
dying with rheumatism.”
“Not so.” answered a feeble voice.
“I’ve come up sir,to pint that gun !”
All turned in the direction of the
voice, and saw crawling slowly along
on his hands and knees, the invalid
Tom Chuck.
“It’s no use Tom ; there isn’t the
strength of a flea, in your arm,” said
the mate —“you can do nothing!”
Even as he spoke, Tom fell upon his
side, writhing with his rheumatic pains,
and 100 feeble to rise.
“Here she comes, the peoa ?” was
now echoed on all sides, as the pirate,
with her dark skinned crew, came
dashing on toward the brig.

“Ih- isdsing,” said a number of the

Tom—“not until I’ve pinted that
piece !"
He staggered to his feet, but unable
to stand, he (el! to the deck. His jaws
trembled his eyes were becoming glaz
ed.
Now, however, with a superhuman
eff irt he raised himself on his knees,
and in a deeply solemn voice that thrill
ed to the hearts of all, he exclaimed :
• •Now. God help me point that pun
before I die. and save my shipmates !" |
As he spoke his eves lighted up, and
a sudden wonderful strength seemed
to revive his drooping frame. With
glowing cheek and compressed lips, he
sprung up staggered forward to the
gun, and wuh steady hands depressed
it.
“QuicK ! the mateh !” he exclaim
ed ; and ihe lighted insrtument was no
sooner in his hand than he applied it.
The thunder of the piece reverbera

cleared where was the peoa ?
Her hull was no longi r visible—
nothing remained above water except
one of her masts, to which many of,
her dark-skinned crew clung, shriek- j
ing and yelling like fends- The shot
had told well—and crashed through
the pirate’s bottom and sunk her !
Put even with the discharge of the
gun the spirit ot Tom Chuck had flown
from ns shell ! The corpse of the old .
seaman whs stretched stifHv upon the j
deck, his glazed eves turned up to the ■
blue heavens in which Almighty God |
had heard ar and granted his last request.
I have only to add that such of the
pirate crew as were not drowned made
their wav to the shore, where they
were subsequently attacked and taken
prisoners bv the islanders. The brig
was got ofi the rocks at high v/ater in
the morning without damage, when
the captain set sail with a lair wind. —
lie had not proceeded far when he pick
ed up a floating body-that of the beauti
ful. but false-hearted Sibylla, who he
subsequent!v learned, had been the
wife of the Malay pirate captain.
ISo ratio Seymour.
The national Democratic nominee
for the Presidency,is fifty-seven years
of aye, having 1 been born in Onondngo
county, New York, in 1811. He was
educated in the law, but relinquished
it early to attend to his large patrimo
nial estote.
In 1841 he was elected member of
the General Assembly of New \ork,
and took a prominent position in that
body at once. In 1845 lie was elected
Speaker of the House of Representa
tives. In 1850 tie was nominated for
Governor by the Democracy of New
York, and was defeated bv Washington
Hunt, by a majority of less than three
hundred. In 1852 lie was again nom
inated for Governor and defeated Mr,
W. Hunt, bv a majority of 24.000. —
In 1862, lie was again nominated and
elected to the same office by 10,752
majority.
His position during the war, while
conciliatory towards the South, was
nevertheless inflexible lor the mainte
nance, o! the Union and the support of
the national authority.
Horatio Seymour, ever since his ad
vent to public life, has universally been
considered one of the leading minds of
the nation. Anmngallthe candidates
before the National Convention lie was
unquestionably a head and shoulders
tallest in intellectual stature. He has
often been talked of as a candidate so.
the Presidency*-olten been pressed for
the position by representatives of New
York Democracy; abd this time would
undoubtedly have been prominent at
the start, had he not resolutely and
presistently refused live position. We
suppose he is placed there now with
out his consent or concurrence.
Seymour is not a politician —he is a
statesman in every sense of the word.
A man of broad, liberal and capacious
views —a man incapable of the littleness
of the party hack— a man of fine pres
ence —commanding talents—pure mor
als and unbounded patriotism —a man
of the highest intellectual and social
elevation.
He is as much of a State rights, and
strict construction Democrat as the lat
tit ude produces, and the whole series
of Reconctruction outrages have en
countered his indignant protest. Asa
public speaker bis efforts have produc
ed an effect in \cw York unrivaled
«iure il e days of Silas Wright; and

the city of Si Louis in the Congress of
the l'itited States, and at (he outbreak

Generals of Corps in his campaign u>
Atlanta, and from Atlanta to the Sea.
He was a gallant soldier and a red-hot
Union man of course.
Alter the sin render, he early took
issue with the Radicals on tlo ir treat
ment of the South, and lias been very
unsparing in ius denunciations of the
illiberal and unconslitntinn al course of
that party. A few days ago we pub
lished a letter from Gen. Blair taking
strong constitutional and Southern
ground in regard to the forthcoming
platform of the New York National
Convention, which letter our readers
will no doubt remember for its •evvrtt
denunciations of the whole Reconstruc

God, we are bound to do.
