THE INSA NE CAPTAIN.
A PERILOUS ADVENTURE.
nv itiN.u.io.
The beautiful river steamer Alliance
did not reach Hrockvillc until nearly
dark on account of an accident which
happened soon after her departure from
Hamilton; and hence the Commander,
Captain Marks felt olili, e 1 to remain in
that queer old town until morning, as
no boat dare attempt the descent of the
rapid" at night. He had stepped ashore
a Wilson’s Hotel, where lie met a party
“good fellows,” and was engaged in
j tr and drinking with them in the
disengaged and Warty mv-Uicr when a
p,.|. 8 0a whom lie greeted as his council
Pick, canrn into the hotel an I whispered
a few words in his ear, and thereafter
departed with a manner savoring much
ol mjstery and excitement.
“Gentlemen” said Captain Marks as
soon as his friend was gone, “I have
just received news which obliges me to
leave yon. May we see each other next
trip, until when believe me to be as ev
er devotedly yours.”
The Captain then turned away, while
his red features became redder with a
burning linsli of excitement and he hur
ried to his boat The instant lie was
a!) >atd he called the ordinaric (pilot to
his side and said :
“Mr. Hays, we are going down the
river a short distance on special business
mid shall cast off this moment 1” imme
diately after giving orders to that effect
to the mate.
“But wo have never dune so before,"
leplied the ordinaric. "Where is the
government pilot?”
“In the wheel house, where you can
join him, while I sec to casting off.”
“Very well,” rejoined the ordinaric pi
1 it, but there was a troubled expression
o i bis face as he went forward and as
cended to his rtarion.
Tile Alliance was soon relieved of her
fastenings and proceeded out into the
stream, much to the surprise of the
Brockvillc people, and more especially
t i tl e custom bouse officers, one of
whom hailed her for an explanation but
without receiving any response. Til*
C .plain had taken up h is station on the
bn rricane deck in the rear or the wheel
house where he soon received a message
from the ordinarie pilot to die effect that
be was desirous of seeing him a moment.
“What do you want ?” demanded Cap
tain Marks, as lie proceeded to the wheel
house, and looked in at th© window be
side the door.
“I thought you said the government
pilot was here ?” said tlie ordinaric, giv
ing the wheel a turn of several spokes.
“Where is he!”
"Is he gone ? ’ Down below, eli taking
a driuk? Well do not be alarmed, he
will give you assistance by the time
you require it.”
The Captain then walked back te* his
previous position with a still deeper
flush on bis featores. His eyes gleamed
like two coals of fire, his hand trembled
in fact his whole body, aud he kept
changing his position every moment, as
if laboring under the most intense ex
citement. Ere long he went below and
ordered on more steam-—continually re
peating “more steam 1 more steam 1”
until the engineer and fireman regarded
him with looks of profound astonish-
I ttlt'lit not knowing what to thick.
tfor several hours ti e boat continued
I oh its way, but tlie ordinarie Sawjnoth
| ing of the government pilot. The flight
i was Vc:y dark, but had been growing
liglitt'f ever since the rising of the-moon
1 and all on board began to have less an
| ° *
prelicnsmti at the codtinuation of the
voyage. Several times had the engineer
remonstrated against carrying so much
steal In ami he seemed to have some sus
picion that all w’as not exactly right,
but a few remarks from Capt- Marks a
bout “meeting the agent," “government
business," and other suggestive terms
, finally lhtled his unquiet feelings, and
! he continued to steam up satisfying his
nervousness by a continual watch of
the index.
lii the meanwhile, .a number of pas
sengers had opened a conversation and
fully discussed thfl perils ol descending
the rapids in the dark. As the cotnman
dor gave no signs of stopping at any of
the way landing's a deputation of pas
| sengers were sent to him, with a request
that he would no longer expose the lives
of all on board by continuing the voy
age, but that he would lay up for tho
1 night.
‘ I'll seCj” was all the response they
receivedi
The pilot again sent for the commau-:
! dor who kept nmrtcring as he went to
: the whocl house in answer to the sum
mons:
“On—on!”
, “But wheie itre Vou going, Captain
Marks ?” and the pilot looked more anx
ious and tumbled than ever.
“Going ? ila ha ! to li—ll !” and tit
tering alow, hollow laugh,? the Captain
turned away
“lie must he tnad,” muttered the pilot,'
“and I must see after the government!
pitot, to sec what he thinks of the pro-!
ccedings."
Ho called a eoiing g_^crew from
file tortVard dfck and gave thorn dircc.
| tions tor the next five minutes and left
them, going in search of Iris aid. A care
ful inquiry and search convinced him
that the government pilot was not aboard
of the vessel, and had not been when lie
li ft Rockville. The ordinary returning to
his post with a face expressive of actual
terror, and again sent for the Captain.
“We are now close noon the cascade,"
said the ordinarie,” and it is time for us
to lay up f r tho night.”
Tho Captain made no reply, but turn- '
ed impatiently away.
“There is no doubt but that the Cap
tain is out of his head. But who will
take the responsibility of interfering with
his commands ? The government pilot
coutd cio so if he were here but l must
take that liberty at my peril. Ncvcr
, thelcss 1 can ring for the boat to stop,
and will instantly do so, especially as
wo are now at the entrance of the cas
\ cade, and cannot stop after wo once get
into the rapids.”
lie tang fot'the engineer to stop the
; engines, bat no notice was taken of the
fact. Again and again was tho intima
tion repeated and still the boat sped on,
already entering the shntc. Filled with
astonishment and excitement, the pilot
dispatched several passengers nearly as
excited as himself to the engine room j
to see why the boat was not stopped. !
A fearful sight was that presented to;
their gaze.
The Captain was standing over the
engineer and fireman holding a loaded
pistol in cacti hand, and threatening to
shoot them dead at tho sdightest pause
in the progress of the boat. With eyes
, gleaming as brightly as the tuniace fires j
and with a frame trembling with excite
ment the commander was incoherently
exclaiming:
“My cousin tells me that rny wife has
been false to me in my absence and run ;
away with Bill Cary, after being his par
amour unknown to me for years. But I
: will follow them 1 l will head them off
i in tlioir flight! I will have their lives for
ibis damning infamy ha, ha! They shall
not escape me —my wrongs are crying
! for blood 1”
i “Down with him,” cried a score of the
; terribly excited passengers in concert;
j “he will carry all of us to destruction if
i not iw«<'aiitly secured.”
A dozen of tho lhtenrs advanced, but
; the Captain branished his weapons firing
at the foremost of the assailants and
causing khem to tall back, when he broke
away and bounded up like a wounded
tiger to file hurricane deck,
j Close upon tho heels of (he madman
| followed the most energetic of the pas
' sengers, fearful that he contemplated

QUITMAN, GKO., NOVEMBER 20, 1868.
some fearful deed ; but they were too
late to prevent its c nisnmmation. Pre
cipitating himself on tho pilot all of
whose energies were now required at
the wheel the captain dragged him from
the wheelhoii.se, encircling him in his
strong arms at t e same time corking'
; and swearing with all the fury of a man
who is wildly and hopelessly insane.—
Alter one brief and terrib c season of
1 sufjifln.se and more than mortal agony ;
those two stout men were locked in a
mortal embrace ; and then the mailman ,
sucoeded in his design of throwing the \
\ pilot overboard but not without aec.mi
panying his victim himself. A wild cry
arose as their entwined forms struck tlie
water, and then they disappeared be- i
; ncutli the surface, the rapid closing over
them forever.
A stilt wilder cry succeeded the con
sumation of the fearful tragedy ; for of
all those three hundred passengers not
one had any knowledge -of the passage
down Ihe rapids. The engineer had cut j
off steam and two of the crew had seiz
ed the wheel but all felt that speedy des
truction was before them as the Alliance i
was still dashing madly down the chan
nel by her own momentum and the force
of the current.
The hail of a musical voice suddenly
resounded over the water and a small j
boa t was seen stretching out from the I
shore, in such a direction as to come [
alongside of the steamer. Managing
the little skiff and repeating her hail to i
the Allianei was a young and beautiful
girl vvlios ■ hold and fearless management j
of her craft at once excited universal a*. ;
tention from the crew and passengers ol j
the
“By heavens!” exclaimed one
crew, as the little boat and its occupant j
uearered the channel, “it is Mary Marks
the daughter oi the poor Captain. Stand
by to receive her rope, and assist her on i
The intention of the girl to board to
Alliance was already indicated by her dis
position of the sails and the coil of rope ;
she had held in her hand ready to throw j
to tlie mini whf/ihad spoken. On sped
the steamer and on came the little skiff j
dashing up alongside of the huge hull j
just abaft the wheels. The boat was i
soon in tow and the maiden was assis- j
ted to the deck when she recoiled at the
despairing faces presented to her view l
and the cries of anguish which saluted j
l>< r ears.
“Mv God!” she exclaimed, what means
this singular situation of affairs! The
night voyage of the steamer —these wild
and feverish looks 1 What can it all
mean 1 Where is my father?”
“Alas 1 Miss Marks, your father is not
here ; the pilot has gone overboard and
we are ignorant of the channel. W c
| cannot stop nor can we prevent the
boat from running sooner or later upon
j the rocks which so closely hem in tlie
| narrow passage We are lost Iwe are
lost r
! “Leave all to me, and I will endeavor
to save you. I have olten been up and
| down the rapids with my father and !
; know the way well. Come with me
two or three of yon who are the stoutest, I
j and assist me at the wee!.”
| She bounded away to the pilot house,
! seized the spokes of the wheel and calmly j
| rang the Ibfcil for the boaL to proceed, j
A wild rumor of Miss Marks’ arrival had
1 already reached the ears of the engineer
and he did not hesitate to obey the com
mand. The boa! was soon again dash
ing down the rapids with a speed which
sent a thrill to the bravest heart.
The form of the maiden seemed to
swell with excitement as she listened
to these words, andX'rieh ff l<lW swept
! over her features, and then she cried in
| a voice which resounded far and near
! ever the river, louder and clearer even ;
than tho shrill roar .of the escaping
steam:
“It is our only course,” said Miss ;
Marks to her assistant. “Steady—so— 1
that is right. I do not know that a
boat of this size was ever piloted down j
ihe rapids at night, and God knows
there is not more than on c chance in a
dozen to save her from destruction, but
let us hope for the best The swifter wo
go the less will the current swerve ns j
from our track,” and again she rang the
bell as a signal for more speed.
Faster and faster sped the boat soeni-
Aig like a monster of excitement, and
fury, designed to wake the sleeping ocli-;
r«?,s of the night. 'Tlie lurid glare of the
furnace fires cast a brigfet streak far a
wa -on the waters at each side of tt.c
SU nnier, tile smoky ,11 lines ascended in
tall pillars from the chimney:'.; the puff
i ing and snorting blasts of the blowers,
the crackling of the pine knots in the
fitruace, and dashing of the wheels, and
the clank o! the walking beam, all gave
a wild aud exciting aspect to tho scene.
For three hours the Alliance sped on
her way like an arrowy messenger of
evil, and during this time Mai ks had not
left her post, nor inquired after her pa-!
rert, nor paid any attention to those a-1
, round her save the two men she hm!!
chosen to assist her in her task. The I
last of the rapids was now near, the most t
dangerous in all the liver, that ol Luch
ino.
“God only knows what is to be the
result of this last peril,” she murmured,
as her eyes swept tlnj filitining and ed
dy ing sin lace of the river below. “I
would have stopped between tho rapids,
hut I am not familiar with any of tire
intermediate landings this having been
a ‘ilmuigh’ boat. I feel obliged to hold
on although 1 am almost certain that il l
is death to proceed.”
With hair dishevelled and tossing I
wildly in the breeze, with a night glaSs |
in one hand and thii other resting on the j
wheel the bum; pilot of rapids again
rang for more speed.
Away sped the steamer, and slid was
soon at the entrance of Rachino Rapids, j
The channel of river is here very nar
row, and the rocks are piled one above
another on each siiie, in many places
rearing their heads above the water, and
ex'ending sharp, jagged points so near
to the track of the Steamers that a very
few yards variance of the vessel from
be quite stlfli-
On sped the Alliance, dashing furious
ly down the rapids, whose roaring and
leaping around her scorned more threat
ening than ever
On, until the most dangerous part of j
the channel was close under her bow, |
and then as a cry of anguish escaped j
the lips of the fair pilot, it was seen that j
a ship of some kind had been hurled a-j
gainst the projecting rocks, in tin's most j
difficult spot which was now blocking j
up a part of the channel.
| “Heaven help us!” exclaimed Miss
Marks, in accent of despair, as the steam
er went plunging madly down, like an
| affrighted monster, towards the lodged
j and shivered wreck, and then tlieic went
I up a wind and agonizing cry from the
lips of all on board such a cry as could
j only have been occasioned by a convic
tion that a speedy and terrible death
| was at lifted.
Down dashed tho quivering vessel,
j drivsng nor bows madly over the ruins
of her unfotunalcpredecessor, while a
hind and startling crash was heard, and
the steamer trembed and groaned from
stem to stern. But not the sligtest
cheek was given to her process, as she
went dashing like ail arrow through the
fragments of the wrecked vessel, scat
toring the lodged timbers right and left,
and curying away a large piece of the
strongcr's hull on her bows.
Still another moment of anxious sus
pense, and the fair pilot and her assis
tants, exerting all their strength, suc
ceeded in restoring tliff steamer to the
channel, ami then, after another moment
of progress, there lose an exclamation
of joy from the lips of M'ss Marks, which
was echoed throughout the steamer. She j
had safely pfftsed the dangers of the j
shutcr-Alicy were safe!
Five niiunfes tnwc, aud the steamer!
was alongside of her whuff in Lachi-ne.
not a little astonishing the good folks of
that town by her midnight arrival. It
was then that Miss Marks learned her
father’s sad fate, and explained that the'
flight of her guilty mother, as mentioned j
by Capt. M. in bis frensy, bad caused
her to go cp‘ river that night to meet
h'm.
Many were the kind w nds of gratitude j
and admirations expressed to Mary
Marks, to make her forget the sad af
| diction of her family, and not in vain, as j
she has long and happily; but none ol :
those who made that perilous passage j
could ever forgot their nights descent of j
the Rapids of Laehinc.
