GOOD STORIES OF PRESENT DAY.
How We Stopped the Great Mutiny
Aboard the Packet Ship Queen Bess.
From the Few York sun.
Many years ago, l>efore the English gave
up Tasmania os a penal colony, I was a
cabin boy on the Australian packet Queen
Bess. In Jhose (lays every packet to Aus
tralia was -t- wded with emigrants, soldiers
and adventurers, and on this occasion our
passenger list had a great many of the lat
ter. There seemed to be a regular hegira
of bad men from Liverpool and London
about that date, and I'll venture to say we
had fifty aboard who bad no respect for the
laws of the land or the higtoseas. They
were fighting among themselves before we
were out of sight of land, and I heard the
Captain saying to the first mate that the
handcuffs and shackles should be made
ready and the brig overhauled, for it was
likely that some of the gentry must soon be
taken care of. The brig is the lockup on
board of a ship, and in those days every
packet had one provided, and on long voy
ages the brigs were much used.
I was 13 years old the day we left Liver
pool, and I had already made one voyage to
Australia and return with Capt. Flemming.
While we carried three cabin boys, I was
engaged to wait on the Captain alone. Ho
was very kind and fatherly to me from the
first dav I set foot on his ship, and I had a
much pleasanter lot than usually falls to the
bov who takes to the sea for a living. I
don’t say that I was any keener than the
average boy of my age, but somehow when
I came to look over our crowd as we were
about ready to sail, I saw troublo ahead.
Two or three trifling incidents helped me to
make up my mind to this. Most of the sail
ors who’ had been the other voyage had re
shipped for this one. There was one whom
I positively bated—a tall, evil-eyed, hang
dog fellow —and on the night liefore sailing,
as 1 was doing an errand for the first mate,
Mr. Cotton, at a public bouse near the dock,
T saw this sailor and two evil-looking lands
men in close conversation over their ale. It
so happened that I stood near them while
■waiting, and I heal'd one of the men address
the sailor with:
“Now. Bill, it is all understood.”
“Yes.”
“If they come aboard we are to help ’em
take the ship?”
“We are.”
“The women and children and such others
as don’t care to join us are to be landed
somewhere, and then for a free-and-easy
life.”
“That’s the talk, mate,” exclaimed Bill.
“And it is to be an even divide of cash
all around?” put in the second landsman.
“It is. We shall have to have officers, of
course, but one man will be as good as an
other, and it shall be share and share alike.”
“Andhow many men hve you sounded?”
Bill spread his greuA, hairy hand on the
table and counted off on his fingers:
“There’s Jack—and Tom—and Robbins--
and Whistler —and —but I guess that’s all.
It’s too early yet. When you want a man
for desperate work don’t give him too long
to think of it.” '
At this point I was called away, and when
I returned to the ship I went directly to the
Captain’s cabin and related all I had heard.
Some sea Captains, in their arrogance and
conceit, would have covered me with con
tempt. Capt. Flemming listened atten
tively until I had finished, and then he sent
me to call Mr. Cotton and Mr. Johnson, the
latter being the seeo -ri mate. I had to re
peat the conversation err their benefit.
“What do you know about Bill, the sail
or?” asked the Captain.
“He was in my watch on the voyage
home,” answered the second mate, “and I
put him down for a vicious, mutinous dog.
Nothing but a blow from a belaying pin
will help him along when he is in one of his
moods.”
Mr. Cotton didn’t take much stock in my
story. He was one of those opinionated
men who never take kindly to anything
coming second hand. Mr. Robinson believed
1 had overheard all I said, but scouted the
idea that there was any plan against the
ship. They were ordered to keep their eyes
open in every direction from the hour we
sailed, and when they had gone the Captain
turned to me with:
“Now, Albert, I am satisfied in my own
mind, from the character of some of the
passengers going out with us, that a plot of
some sort is hatching. You can come and
go without suspicion. Beginning to-mor
row, I want you to keep circulating through
the ship. Keep your eyes and ears open
day and night and you need do no other
work. Whenever you hear or see anything
suspicious let me know.”
Most of the roughs and toughs came
aboard at the last hour. They had lots of
friends to take a parting drink with, and
four fifths of them were the worse for liquor.
I stood at the gangway aud .sized each one
up as they came aboard and I wondered
meatlv that the officers didn’t seem to no
nce what a rough crowd they were. The
fact that nearly all of them seemed to know
each other waS in itself a suspicious inci
dent, at least to my mind. I noted, also,
that in the first hour of sailing many of the
toughs seemed to be acquainted with a
round dozen of our men before the mast.
From the hour of sailing I was the ghost
of the ship. I was engaged in a work which
interested my whole nature, and I was too
excited to sleep more than an hour at a
time, While I had access to every part of
the ship, I spent most of my time either
with the sailors in the forecastle or the pas
sengers in the steerage. I remembered the
faces of the two men I had seen with Bill
in the public house, and realizing that they
would be at the head of any plot, I hung
around them like a coast fever. We had
been out thirteen days before I picked up a
single word, and by that time I had almost
made myself believe that I had brought the
Captain a cock-and-bull story. Indeed,
there were hours when I doubted if 1 had
heard the conveisation in the public house
which I reported. In going among the
steerage passengers I put on an old suit,
and those people supposed I had parents
aboard and wn going to the new land. I
also assumed a trifling way, and it was com
mon euougli to hear them say to each other
that I was light in the upper story. I bung
about the two men a great deal, and as 1
made them presents of tobacco and ran er
rands for them, they never drove me aw ay.
It was on the afternoon of the thirteenth
day that the men were sitting on their chests
and I pretended to be asleep on a bundle of
Stuff near them, that they were joined by
three other men. The five were quite by
themselves, and they had no sooner come
together than Bill said:
“I have good news for you. We have
twelve sailors won over, and there are men
among the passengers flt to command a frig
ate who will gladly join with us when the
time comes. How many names have you
got down Dick ?”
"Thirty-eight,” replied a gruff voice,
which I knew to belong to a short, broad
backed man with red hail' and the look of a
prize fighter. “Since we started out some
of the men have turned chicken hearted and
are afraid of the noose, but as soon as we
strike a blow there are six or eight more
who will be with us.”
“Thirtv-eightand twelve are fifty,” mused
Dick, “that’s crowd enough if we move
together and move right, to capture a man
of-war. It’s too early to plan yet. We’ll
just keep our minds made up, watch the
officers and passengers, and four weeks from
now will be time to settle the details.”
There was lots more talked, and when I
could get away and have an interview with
the Captain in his cabin I told him some
things which made liis eyes flash. He fully
realized that a plot to capture the .ship was
hatching, but he had several weeks in which
to prepare to checkmate it and was not in
the least rattled. He cautioned me to say
nothing to the mates or to any of the pas
sengers, and ordered me to continue my
espionage of the suspected passengers. We
had on Txiard, if I remember aright, about
150 soldiers and citizens as first-class passen
fers. The soldiers numbered about thirty.
here were perhaps twenty young men who
were going out to take government posts.
The rest of the first-class passengers were
tourists, speculators, ranchmen and women
and children. I looked the lot over very
thoroughly, and made up uiv miud that we
| had from sixty to seventy men among the
first-class who could be depended on to stand
j by the Captain.
The emigrants counted up fully 250, but
there were not over fifty men. A good thirty
of the lot were single women going out to
take service, and the rest wore wives and
children. I figured that there were only
seven men in the steerage who would fight
for the ship. They could uot well be counted
on, however, for a couple of the ruffians,
armed with pistols, could hold them in check
when the hour came. We had some twenty
six sailors, a carpenter, a boatswain, a doc
tor, a steward, four cooks and two mates.
If all were loyal and the ship was not taken
by surprise, there were men enough to put
the mutineers down pretty quick. But all
were not loyal. Twelve of the sailors had
already been won over, and when the hour
came to strike it was likely the number
would be increased to twenty. 1 figured,
and I think the Captain did too, that it
would be about an even thing in numbers.
After I made my second report to him he
gave me orders to clean up all the firearms
and load them afresh. These were all kept
in his cabin, together with a lot of cutlasses
and boarding pikes, and I spent two days on
the weapons without any one being the
wiser. The ship had twenty muskets and
as many cutlasses and pikes. The muskets
were of old pattern, purchased at a sale of
condemned stores, aud I couldn’t say any
better of the cutlasses and pikes. The ship
did not pretend to be armed for either war
or pirates. I got all the weapons in the
best shape aud then returned to my former
duties.
What bothered the Captain was to know
when the attack was to be made, and he
could hardly seo the object of one. No sane
man, no matter how tough he was, could
think of capturing the ship and playing pi
rate with her. She had no cannon, and in a
few days at most would be hunted down by
some war vessel. Mr. Cotton believed there
was some plot to which the capture of the
ship was only a part, but, try as hard as I
could, I could not get at the secret until
long weeks had passed, and the remainder
of our voyage was only a question of days.
Then, one day, I got it quite by accident. I
had gone into the foreoastie at noon to see
what I could pick up among the sailors. I
crept into one of the bunks and pulled a
blanket over me, and in about an hour, or
after the watch below had eaten their din
ner, the ruffian who had done most of the
talking with our Bill in the public house
came down among the men. It was against
orders, but he had somehow slipped past the
mates. I now heard him called Sam. It
seemed that all the watch below, as well as
a part of that on duty, were in the plot and
they made no bones of speaking. My pres
ence was, of course, unsuspected.
Then came to light what was afterward
known throughout England as the “Winston
Conspiracy,” of which the papers were full
for months. John Winston, a noted and
wealthy sporting man, was convicted of
robbery and sentenced to penal servitude.
He had a brother James, who interested
friends in an effort to rescue him. Some
were in for money and some for the love of
adventure. It took them a year or more to
lay their plans, and the money used up
amounted to over £15,000. Three or four
of the conspirators secured places as guards
in the penal colony, a sloop was purchased
of a coast trader, and when the Queen Bess
sailed she took with her as passeugers the
rest of the gang. It was to be calculated in
Australia when she would appear off the
coast. Winston and other hard characters
were to make a break, secure the sloop and
stand out to sea. When they met the ship
they were to run her aboard and, with the
help of the gang in the steerage, capture
her. Women and children and such as
would not join them were to be put ashore
on some island and the ship headed for
America. It was confidently expected she
would reach that country in safety, and
there was no law which would give the pi
rates up to justice. The Queen Bess was
now within five days’ sail of the coast and
Sam had come down to arrange the par
ticulars. He believed the officers in total
ignorance of the plot and had no doubt of
success. All were to be on the watch for
the sloop and as soon as she was sighted
every mutineer was to appeal - on deck. If
the sloop showed signals of distress and a
boat was sent off, then the ship was to be
taken while the boat was gone. If the sloop
ran the ship aboard, as if by accident, the
fight was to begin the moment the manoeu
vre was put into execution.
Everything was given away and I lay
there and heard every word, and afterward
got out of the forecastle without being no
ticed and reported to the Captain. His first
move was to call the mates down, and after
ward such passengers as he felt certain of.
Very luckily for us, there was a trader
,aboard who was taking a lot of revolvers
out to Australia, with other traps. They
were the American Colt and were a novelty
then. He had twenty-four of them in his
trunk, and when they had been taken into
the cabin and loaded we felt certain what
the outcome of the mutiny would be. The
conspirators were no doubt supplied with
pistols and knives, but we had six shots tc
their one. Nearly every male passenger
was taken into the Captain’s confidence,
and it spoke well for their discretion that
not one single hint of what was taking place
reached the ears of the fellows impatiently
biding their time in the steerage. There
were no loopholes left for accident. Capt.
Flemming carried such a look in his eyes as
I never saw before or after, and he had
firmly made up his mind that not one of the
conspirators wfio raised a hand against the
ship should live to bo tried for piracy.
At 10 o’clock in the forenoon, when we
were about a hundred miles off the coast, a
trusty sailor who had been sent into the
forerigging, ostensibly to make repairs, but
in reality to watch for the sloop, came
slowly down and reported her in sight from
his elevation. In half an hour more she
would be visible from the decks, and the
conspirators would then make ready. Dur
ing this half hour the revolvers were dis
tributed, the loyal passengers placed at
advantageous points, and the sailors who
were in the plot were sent aloft on one pre
text and another. They had no other wea
pons but their sheath knives, and one man
with a revolver could hold four or five of
them in the rigging.
When the sloop was at last reported wo
saw a movement among the conspirators and
knew that they were making ready. They
were sharp fellows, and I am free to say
that had we not known what they were up
to none of their actions would have aroused
suspicion. The sloop was coming down wit h
the wind, while we wore making long tacks
to starboard and port. Under these cir
cumstances she could not well lay us aboard.
Up went a signal of distress as soon as she
thought we could see it, and she was brought
into the wind to wait for us. We made a
reach to the north, and then as we came
back on the other tack we swung into the
wind not a cable's length from the sloop.
She was a small craft, her decks not more
than two feet above water, and there were
seven men to be seen above her- rail. Our
Captain nicked up his trumpet and shouted:
“Sloop, ahoy! What sloop is that?”
One of the men made a trumpet of hi*
hands and shouted back:
“The Annie of Syduey.”
“What’s your trouble?’
“Sprung aleak and going dowD. Send a
boat aboard and take us off.”
The Captain had planned for this and the
boat was all ready. There were irons and
muskets under the seats, and the third mate
and two of the disloyal sailors and five true
men were told off to go in her. No sooner
had they left the ship than the muskets were
produced, the mate informed the two sailors
that their plot was discovered and the boat
pulled straight for the sloop. When she got |
alongside the five armed men clambered up
and, aftera brief conflict, in which Winston
was killed, the other six surrendered.
Meanwhile we had our hands full aboard
the ship. As soon as the boat pulled away
Sam gave the signal for the uprising and
inside of a minute the conflict was raging
from forecastle to cabin doors. The orders
to passengers were to shoot to kill, and they
obeved. It is due to the conspirators to say
tliev made a brave flight. Had we not been
fully prepared for them they would have
taken the ship in five minutes. As it was,
they killed two men, wounded five and kept
the fight going for ten nuautcs. Then it wo*

devil take the hindmost while they sought
hiding places. Only two sailors actually
participated in the attack on the ship.
These two and twenty-three of the con
spirators were shot dead, and of the seven
others wounded five died before we got in.
The rest of the gang were hunted up one by
one and clapped in irons, and were tried and
hanged on laud. Three sailorssuffered with
them and the rest were let off. There was
a great overhauling of officials at Tasmania,
a rigorous punishment was meted out to the
recaptured convicts, and for the next five
years Capt. Flemming and his good ship
were the talk of the land and sea. He gave
me due credit for my share of tho work, as
also did the public and the owners of the
Queen Bess, and the voyage home was my
last. I left the ship’s cabin for a scholar
ship at Eton.
MOST, SAUSAGES AND BEER.
A Description of the Anarchist as He is
Seen in Ilis Office.
From the Few York Evening World.
Anew “No Reporters Admitted” sign,
much larger than the old one, was pasted
on the door of Johann Most’s office this
morning. After the word “admitted” ap
peared in parentheses the word “Schreib-
Knechte”—slaves of the pen.
This new feature seemed to indicate in
tense hatred on the part of the fiery Anar
chist. Nevertheless, a reporter of the World
pushed open the door of the Anarchist’s den
at 10:20 this morning, and not without an
inward tremor, entered.
It is passing strange that one cannot find
Most in his office at a time when he is not
engaged in the wholesale consumption of
sausage and beer. It reads like an inven
tion of the enemy, but it is the simple fact.
At the hour mentioned two men sat at a
round table in the front end of the room.
One was Editor Most and tho other was
Julius Schnltz, assistant editor of the Frei-t
heit. The table was littered with docu-i
ments and Schultz was writing rapidly, pre- !
sumably working on a red-hot diatribe for
to-day’s issue of the Anarchist sheet.
Most had a pen behind his ear, hut there
was no other sign of his editorial labors.
He was eating, or more correctly speaking,
feeding. Before him was a huge pile ol
sausages, resting on coarse yellow-browi
paper, evidently just brought from a Ger
man pork-butcher’s. They were of the fa
and indigestible variety known as “libei
wurst.” The reporter tried to count thei
and got as far as eleven. The others woi
hidden from view by those on the top. Ner
by, but necessarily some distance from tl
sitting Anarchist, were a huge brown pric
er of beer and a glass full of the froth oo
ered liquid.
The reporter spoke to Most for sever 4
minutes, but the Anarchist’s eyes were fix',
on the sausages and beer. Every moment
hand holding a murderous clasp-knife ci
off a few inches of the thick sausage, an
another hand clutched first the pitcher an
then the glass. Both the sausage and tb
beer were quickly conveyed to Most’s mrmtl
The rapidity of the movement of Most’
hand and jaw was bewildering.
Between the gulp* sounds came fron
Most’s hard-worked jaws, in reply to ques
f ions, to the effect that Mr. Howe would de
fend him on Tuesday and that he would b
acquitted unless justice were flagrantly vio
lated to his oppression Also that he felt
quite well, being too much used to prisons to
allow confinement, recent or prospective, to
prey on bis mind.
The reporter backed out, his eyes still
fixed by a strange fascination on the fast
declining heap of sausages and the dimin
ishing stock of beer. As the door closed
Most tackled a fresh sausage.
Bixby was Calm.
From Tid-Bits.
One of the Bixbv children was seized witl
a fit of croup the other night. Bixby heart i
the little fellow's labored breathing, and
bounding clear over the footboard of the
bed, yelled “Croup!” in about the saiuej
voice that the escaped idiot yells “Fire!” at'
the theatre.
Then he tried to put his trousers cn over
his head, but finally got them on wrong side
out, and tore into his shirt with it wrong side
in front.
“Jump!” he screamed to his wife, “there
isn’t a second to lose! Get the syrup of
squills! Put on a tub of hot water! Give
him something to think! Get hot flan
nels on his chest instantly! Hurry!
hurry! Don’t lie there doing nothing
while the child is choking to death? Fly
around!”
Mrs. Bixby is one of those meek but emi
nently sensible and practical little women
who never get a tenth part of the credit
for the good they do in this world. While
Bixby was racing up and down stairs, de
claring that nobody was doing anything but
himself, Mrs. Bixby quietly took the little
sufferer in hand.
“Do something quiok!” screeched Bixby,
as he upset a pan of hot water on the bed
and turned a saucer of melted lard over on
the dressing-case. “Here, somebody, quick!”
ne yelled. “Can’t anybody do a thing but
me? Run for the doctor, some of
you. Give the child some more squills. Is
there anything hot at his feet? Give him
aconite. He ought to have a spoon of oil.
If he don’t get relief instantly he’ll die, and
here there's nobody trying to do a thing
but me! Bring him some warm water with
a little soda in it. He ought to have been
put into a hot bath an hour ago. Heat
up the bathroom! What’s on nis chest!
Great heavens! has the child got to die
because no one will do a thing for him?”
Mrs. Bixby quietly and unaided brings
the child around all right and sits with him
until daylight, after she has quieted Bixby
down and got him to bed.
And next morning he has the gall to say
at the office:
“One of my little chaps nearly died with
croup last night, and I had mighty hard
work bringing him around all right, but I
did, after working like a Trojan all night.
It’s a terrible disease and scares women
nearly to death. They fly all to pieces right
off. A person wants their wits about them.
You want to keep perfectly cool and not
fool away a second in hysterics. That’s
where a man has the advantage over a wom
an in managing a case of croup. It’s mighty
lucky I was at home to take my little chap
in hand.”
