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* THE MORNING NE\S: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1887. 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.” MEDICAL. r SIMMONsI J THE gentle yet effectual action of that good old remedy, Simmons Ijver Regulator, and its intrinsic merits, have placed it at the head of all family medicines.
