A ROTHERHITIIE VENUS. HOW A MAN CAME NEAR LOSING HIS LIFE IN WHITECHAPEL. Barbarism in the East End of London —On the Thames atter Dart—A Trial of Wits with a River Rat. New York, Dec. 8. —That mysterious journalistophila, known in comtempora neous romance as “the Whitechapel Fiend,” has recently brought into renewed p>pular ity among sensation hunters, the district of London known somewhat indefinitely as the “Bast End.” Whitechapel stood in peril of oblivion, the literary men had cast his reportorial eyes, apparently, once and for all upon the gilded west, where, though it is true that many sons risen in the morning of life in the e :st end, have set in jeweled splendor. Whitechapel is as much a trav eler’s name and nothing else, as Timbuetoo, Palmyra, or Atlantis. Now, however, the picturesque and imposing words murder and outrage have attracted the attention of the world—and of its wives and daugh ters —to this unsavory locality, and a com plete literature of the district has been the result. The story lam about to tell, dramatic as its incidents are, does not, I regret to say, abound in what the English newsboy calls “the ’orrid details,” but it serves to show that the present series of crimes that are electrifying the world only stand out from a long calendar of such on account of the devilish ingenuity of their perpe trator. There may be among my readers, English and American, a few who have had the curiosity to go through experiences which have led to events such as lam about to relate, but the number will be few, for it is only one out of many hundreds of English men even, who ever brave the dangers of the remote east end of London. At the time of which my story speaks, George R. Sims had not brought “slum ming” into fashion; he had not, by his inti mate acquaintance with the lower forms of life in London, excited the interest in the cast end which was aroused a few years ago in the drawing rooms of the west, in a word, as I say, “slumming” had not “come into fashion.” The fact that it had not done so was perhaps the main inducement to me to become an inveterate “shimmer”, and, arrayed in the oldest and most terrible of clothes and fortified with a carefull v con cealed revolver of somewhat heavy caliber and about 5 shillings as a rule in my pockets in sixpences and coppers, I commenced a series of voyages of explora tion in the east end, where the dregs of the population assemble, and pickpockets con gregate. TO THE RESCUE. If you take the white omnibus which passes the American exchange at Charing Cross and cling to it until it reaches the end of its allotted route it will take you along the busy Strand and literary Fleet street, up classic Ludgate hill, past St. Paul’s, past the bank and by Corn Hill to London bridge, and there descending you will set your face eastward, and, pass ing the monument and tower, you will reach narrow and treacherous paths, ways that are dark and streets not always too clean, and you will find places with names like “Wapping Old Stairs,” “Shadweli,” “Ratcliff Highway” and “Tiger Bay;” places where a decent court would be the oriflamme of attack, and where they would sell your hair if they could get a penny a pound for it. Across the river lies Rotherhithe, pretty, fresh and smiling in the noon-day sun, looking as if it had suddenly been evolved out of the inner consciousness of some seven teenth or eighteenth century artist; rows of little white washed houses with bright pebbled walks, leading from the rustic portico to the brilliantly green-painted gate, where sweet peas straggle untidily at their own sweet will, and pots of gillyflowers mingle their hoavy sensuous perfume with the tarry and fish-like smells which an nounce the trade of the inhabitants. It is here that Walter Besant has laid the scene of the “Captain’s Room” and a more beautiful and interesting spot it would be'difficult to find; but scarcely anybody ever goes there because Rother hithe is, or was, almost impossible to get at. It was something of a romance that awoke in me an ambition to explore Roth erhithe. I had been in the habit of haunt ing Ratcliff Highway in the character of a defaulting tank clerk, and had fraternized with my companion outcasts on the strength of a certain skill in amateur legerdemain, which enabled me to amuse the occupants of bar-rooms, whilst I listened to their talk, with a few simple tricks performed with some ponnies, a handkerchief and a pack of cards. THE FAREWELL. I had been thus engaged one night, and was sitting at a dirty table conversing with two of the lowest specimens of tho popula tion, when suddenly, above the roar of the market outside, there ro6 from the mews, at the back of tho public house we had selected as a resting placo, a piercing shriek the cry of a woman—and of a young woman in mortal terror. Following the scream, rang forth the cry: “Oh Godl—help!” "Boys!” I exclaimed, jumping up, with a tightened, sickening sensation at my throat, "here’s some fun. Don’t let’s miss it! Come and rescue the gal.” "Go an’do it yerself f’ answered the ap parently elder or the blackguards, and be fore be had finished his reply, I was out in the back yard. A scoundrel who may have been a sailor, but. who was more pronably a dock-loafer, had evidently seized a girl, whose outline I fould barely distinguish in tho darkness, as ■ho passed the narrow passage that led from ‘ho street to the back of tho house, had dragged her into the yard for tl e purposes of robbery, or even worse. Such little things as this are of too ordinary occurrence in I tat elide Highway to excite any remark from the passers by. The assailant had fl -ng his victim to tho ground, and crouching ovor her was not aware of any approach from behind. I did not dare to shoot for fear of arousing tho neighborhood—a pistol shot would undoubt edly summon a policeman (though little short of it would—in Ratdiffe Highway,) and my identity would be revealed, — so I struck the cowardly ruffian a stun ning blow with a Smith & Wesson butt on tae back of the head. He rolled over without a groan—l think .fcis skull was smashed. Without bestowing upon him another look I turned my attention to the girl. She had fainted, but was apparently at that moment recovering consciousness. The moon that was full that night ran out from behind a bank of clouds and shone on as fair a face as I ever saw. The hair that framed it was of a rich, ruddy gold, and had escaped from its confine ment as the girl’s bonnet had fallen off; the eyes that opened and looked at me, were large and soft, and appeared a deep violet in the gloom, an exquisite little mouth opened as I bent over her, appar ently to cry out once more, when I whisp ered: “Be quiet; you are safe! Don’t utter a word—l’ll see you safely where you want to go. There’s the man who seized you—let’s go out of here.” Casting a frightened glance at the motion less prostrate figure by her side, the girl rose, and coming close to me she said in a low tone: “For God’s sake, don’t you hurt me too. You look like a swell—don’t let any of these beasts touch me.” I reassured her to the best of my ability as I led her down the passage to the street, and the next moment we were striding rap idly eastward along the highway. “Where are wa going to?” I asked after we had put a hundred yards between us and the scene of her late encounter. “To Wapping Old Stairs," she answered. I live across the river at Rotherhithe, with my uncle. I’ve never been over here be fore, but uncle was taken ill to-night, and I came over to find a doctor who saw after him when he was bad off once before, j found that he’d gone away from his old ad dress and I was hurrying home when that brute seized me as I passed the entry to that passage. ” “But, my child I” said I, “you can’t go back to Rotherhithe alone at this time of the night. How a beautiful thing like you ever got here safely at all, I can’t make out. Here! you’re safe with me anyhow—l’ll take you back to Rotherhithe.” The girl drew closer to me and looked up into my face: “Ah!” said she, “I thought you was a swell. Thank you kindly—l shant be afraid if you come with me.” And so, arm in arm we reached Wapping Old Stairs, she chattering about herself all the way. She was 17, but she looked 20; she had lived all her life, she said, as long as she could remember, with her uncle. We reached the ferry landing and found the ferryman making his last round trip for the night. “Last trip over,” shouted the ferryman. I looked from him to the girl—she laid her hands on my arm and looked up into my face. “Won’t you come and see uncle,” she repeated, “you’ll be able to get a ferryman to scull you across—there’s always lots of ’em about, looking for corpses,” she ex plained. I shuddered a little, but I couldn’t resist her appeal. I went with her to her uncie’s cottage. We found the old man sleeping peace fully—from her description of his illness I concluded that he had been suffering from an unwonted combination of annodomini and alcohol. We decided that it was best not to waken him, aud after remaining for a few minutes in conversation with this Rotherhithe Venus, I rose to take my departure. She accompanied me to the gate. As I held out my hand to 6ay “Good night” she put up her Ups, saying: “Are’nt you going to kiss me?” There was not a shade of coquetry in her voice now—she was merely making a simple in quiry. “You’ll come over again and see me, won’t you?” she said, as at last I announced my intention of really going away. “Certainly I will,” was ray answer as I held her hand over the garden gate,“as soon as I can—good night!" Aud retracing my steps along the way by which we had come, I reached the ferry stairs. It was a long while now since the ferry had made|its last trip, so, after looking around disconsolately for a few minutes, I hailed what I chink was the most repulsive looking specimen of humanity that I ever saw in my life, and after soma haggling, agreed that he should row me over to Wap ping in his dilapidated old wherry for the sum of sixpence. RIDDLING THE BOAT. You, oh, my gentle readers, who have never crossed the Thames, lower perhaps than VauxbuN or ttie Houses of Parlia ment, will perhaps think it is nothing to make this crossing of the river from Roth erhithe to Wapping, but allow mo to tell you that though I have walked the streets of Scutari and the blind alleys of Galatea, the passages of remoter Paris, and the de serted Piazzi of Rome at all hours of the night, I would infinitely rather patronize all those localities, dressed from head to foot in the gold embroidered gown of a Chinese mandarin with a sapphire button on the top of my hqad, than be rowed across the Thames at dead of night, “below bridges.” You shoot out from tho stairs where you have stepped into your boat between tho black undefined masses of shipping and from beneath the overhanging attics of the lower river side tenements, and excepting for tho dreadful, loneiy, “lap, lap. lap,” of the water and the greasy dip, dip, of tho dilapidated oars, everything is in pro found silence. The greasy stream runs past tho boat silently and swiftly, and brave man though you may bo, you dare not trad your fingers in the water, and you shudder involuntarily as you turn your eyes away from every dark mass which floats past the boat. On tho occasion of which I am speaking, we had got about three-quarters of the way over, when, in the brilliant moonlight, an idea suddenly seemed to strike my wherry man; possibly the light shining on my face made it look more than ordinarily pale and be thought I was frightened, anyhow be said: , “Here, you swell, pay me ray fere. I asked him what he meant, he replied: “I mean that lam going to be paid before you get out of this boat." I was wrapped in a large and rather shabby cloak an I sat in thestorn of the boat, my arms crossed upon my knees, and thus we sat looking at one auother, whilst, con THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1888. cealed by the folds of my cloak, my right h itid sought the revolver which lay upon my left hip. I said to him: “I shall pay you when 1 get out and not a moment before." And he slid to me: “I know this, t at unless you pay me half a sovereign right this minute, you will never get out of this boat at all, aud then what f” “And then this,” I said. “Now look here; you be reasonable. I’ve told you that lam a broken down ‘sport’ and that I haven’t got any money at all; I’ve only about S shillings in the world, aud you won’t be such a brute as to ta ite that away from me.” “Won’t I though?” be said. And then an other thought seemed to strike him, aud he added, "Is that all the money you have got on you i” And I said, “Yes.” A hideous grin displayed two broken ranks of blackened teeth, and with a chuck'e more awful than anything I ever heard be fore or since, intensified as it was by the surroundings, he said: “Very well then; that is 3 shillings that you have got, and o that I shall get for t aking your body to the river police, that will make 8.” “Good God!” I exclaimed, “what do you mean?” “Why this here,” said he, “I am going to chuck you out of this boat, and I am going to see that yoti' df'o*' l b and then I shall get 5 shillings for recovering your body and taking it to the police station, don’t you see?” I don’t think I was ever in such a fright ful situation in my life; but I knew per fectly well that if I -were to shoot the man there and then, T should 5 probably fall into worse hands when. ( I landed, heaven knows where, on the other side, so I said to him: “Now, see here, supposing I lied to you and that I have got* a watch on that is worth some money and that I would give you that, how long will it take you to reach the other side?” ~ ..... " By this time the moon had hidden herself behind acloudand the gloom was profound. He said: “About a mikute and a halt.” “Very well then,” said I, “if you throw me overboard, I shall swim ashore and then you will lose me.” “Oh! oh!” said he, “will you, you would no more get through the barges and ship ping alone, than you could get to heaven without I sent you there. (Heaven was not the word he used.)” All this time my brain was working pretty actively and I said to him:” “Now, see here is another scheme; admit ting that you will get 5 snillings for my dead body, you would get a sovereign for saving me alive according to the rules of the river police; now, if you throw me overboard (as I see by your size you are quite capable of doing) you shall jump over also and save me, and I give you my word of honor—stake my dying oath, that I won’t say you threw me overboard, only save me and put me safely into a police station.” “That would be very well,” said he, “and you speak fairly enough, but I can’t swim a stroke.” “Can’t you,” said I, “then by God! pull to save your life.” I had my hand on my revolver all this time, and drawing it suddenly, I fired two bullets through the bott im of the boat. The water began to gush in and the wherryma i seeing possible escape for me and cert in death before him, turued the boat’s nose to the shore and in less than two minutes we were safely on dry land with nearly a foot of water in the boat. Arrived on the other side, he disappeared, and as good luck would have it, at the top of the street in which I had been deposited, I found a stray policeman walking his solitary round. He told me where I was and how to get back to London bridge. I did not go to Rotherhithe again, accord ing to my promise; in fact, I have never been there at all since, and I think I am safe in saying, that I never shall. As for the fair one with golden locks who led me Into that scrape, I have never heard of her, or seen her since. I wonder what was her name, Edward Heron Allen. There will be but four farmers in the next Missouri state senate, and only one merchant, while the lawyers number twenty-two. CUTICURA REMEDIES.
