} THE LAST CRUISE.
I • ________________
I On the day when Ilanded at Annobon,
L o f the natives particularly attracted
■ v attention. He was a man past mid
age, his woolly iliair sprinkled witk
■Ly," lie was of ‘Commanding stature
Ij ver v erect. He spoke excellent Eng-
K, and liis conversation showed that
rv'.KS.-ssed some advantages of educa
ted which placed him far above the plane
E)j s semi barbarous fellow islanders.
■ p history had been an eventful one.
■bee he was 1G years old the captaimo?
(British vessel had taken him to Lon

He hesitated a moment, asid then mo

■ich served the purpose of a bench in
■it of his hut. He seated ‘himself by
B side, lighted his pipe and told me
§ story:
■‘One morning, just after sunrise, in
Bober, 1847, about a year after ray re
■: from England, a sail was seen
Baling in toward the island from the
Bt'vard. Soon afterward one of our
Bple, who had climbed to the top of a
■oanut tree to have a look, sung out
B>s that it was a topsail schooner. The
B<l was fair and she came along at a
■ely rate until she was. quite close,
■hi she clewed up her topgallant and
topsail, threw her topsail aback and
B to not alxive four cable lengths from

■A Iteautiful craft she was; her long,
hull lay low in the water; her

Biiey wanted to tumble over the bow,

B as trim as any man-of-war’s, and
■re was a crowd of men on her deck.
■ ‘A slaver,’ said I.
■ ‘Yes,’ said my father, who stood at
I side, ‘and she’s got her cargo aboard,

■ers.
■ ‘We have no king in Annobon,’ said
II father; ‘what do you want?’
■ I ‘Ha!’ and he ripped out a big oath.
; |e heard of you Annobon niggers,’ he

pß'Yes, passengers; we have a lot of

father hesitated, and then said,
sAgo on board and see the captain. I
y ? ou ain’t him?*
vJo,’ was the reply, ‘l’m seoond
gB of the craft.’
TMy father stepped into a canoe, beck

f..—
IBP 1 me starboard gangway stood a
slender built man whom we found
) a y captain. He wasn't more than
Sjfret and a half high, and his face
"■as smooth as a woman's; he had a
nose and light gray eyes. Dressed
k. B^ ne cloth jacket with white duck
■■scrs, and a jaunty little cap on the
rB of head, he looked more like a
i young naval officer than the cap-
IHof a slaver.
|Hts we drew alongside he sung out to

Phe decisive manner in which the
g captain spoke made it clear that he
' have his way. and my father
>3 jCd to help till the water casks. But
rewsked how it was that the vessel on
way across the Atlantic came to
•"B without a supply of water.
, a f he captain then told us that as his
JJ e * had lain in a lagoon near the
jjpth of the river Lage, with only part
of-war Wa n er 01 ! ‘T rd ’ au Enlish uian
’ a t* n S. had been sighted, and he
tod Wn obliged to shjp the‘catt-l^’^
led l ! 1e b KKjr creatures in the hold,
f .° r , lt ’ behind over a
hundred °f the ‘cattle' in the barracoon.
S i I PP? out of the lagoon at night.
■nd Just before the day broke there fell
‘ WUh the ‘ infernal ’ brig, as he
•called her. not more than four miles
•away. lie expected that she wou.u at
tempt to capture him with lier boats, but
wffh the sunrise a light breeze came off
the land, and the brig being to leeward
he managed to crawl off, keeping a wav
to .Sf nrth " ard as the breeze increased.
Ihe brig stood after him with all the
canvas she could swing, and she sailed
eo fast as to worry the captain of the
Clelise, who had never before met any
thing he couldn’t run out of sight in four
or five hours. But when the sun went
down a fresh topgallant breeze was
blowing from the southeast, and the brig
was seen from the masthead just a speck
on the horizon,
“He stood on his course until mid
night, then kept dead before the wind
two hours, an* ‘hen hauled away on the
other tack to the south’ard alld west'ard.
At daylight nothing was to be seen of
the brig, and lie shaped his course for
the island.
“The schooner had been drifting a lit
tle since she first hove to, and my father
told the captain that he was in as good a
place to anchor as he could find. The
captain then gave the order to clew up
the topsail, the anchor was let go, and
the craft swung with the tide very handy
to the watering place.
“ ‘Send two men aloft, Mv. Silva,’ we
heard the captain say to the first mate',
‘and mind they keep a good lookout to
seaward.'
“My father having agreed to help with
our canoes to tow the water casks from
the beach, hoisting tackle was got out, a
raft of six casks was dropped over the
side and, towed by two of the slaver's
boats, was soon making good headway
toward the mouth of the fresh water
creek.
“The party was in charge of the sec
ond mate, and hearing him speak to one
of the crew in English, I addressed him
in the same language, which seemed to
surprise him. He told me he was born
in America, in Maine, 1 think he called
the place. He talked a good deal, and
from him I learned much about the
schooner and her people.
“lie said she was of 170 tons burden,
had been built only about a year and a
half, and had just got back from a run to
Cuba, where she had landed nearly 400
slaves in good condition. They now had
300 slaves on board, and had intended to
take on a hundred more, but the English
brig had scared them off.
“One hundred and seventy of these
slaves were men, and the rest were wo
men. with the exception of two boys,
five or six Years old. One woman, lie
told me, bad u young baby.
“The crew numbered forty-two, all
told. The captain, he said, was a French
man from Marseilles, named Glanvil,
the smartest sailor and the most daring
fellow he had ever been shipmates with.
All these particulars turned out to be
important.
“My father told me he should like to
have the slaves detained as long as pos
sible, as it might happen that the Eng
lish brig or some other man-of-war
would come along. He had sent one of
our people part way up the mountain
above the town to keep a lookout, and
let him know if he saw a sail.
“It was past 9 o’clock before the first
raft of filled water casks was alongside
the schooner. The water was pumped
from them into empty casks in the lower
hold.
“The poor black people between decks
kept up their cries, praying to be let out.
None of us were allowed on the schoon
er’s deck, but 1 could see from the canoe
that a sentinel with a musket on hie
shoulder, and a cutlass stuck in his belt,
stood all the time by each of the hatch
ways ready to shoot down any slave wlio
should succeed in reaching the deck.
“The heat was oppressive; the wind
had died away and the air was heavy. A
little after noon a light breeze sprang up
from seaward, and with it came a heavy
swell that made it difficult to tow the
casks filled with water from the beach
to the slaver.
“It was perhaps 2 o’clock when, just
as we were about to push off from the
watering place, the man whom my fa
ther had sent up on the mountain side to
keep a lookout came running along the
beach and spoke to him. My father, who
was with our people helping the slaver’s
men to fill the casks from the creek, said
to me, in our language, ‘He says there is
a sail iu sight.'
“ We had got within about three ships’
lengths of the slaver when we heard the
voice of the captain singing out to Mr.
Smith, the second mate, to let go the
casks and hurry on board. 1 looked
aloft and saw tiiat the recall signal was
hoisted, and when I turned my head over
my shoulder toward the shore I could
see the men getting into the boat and
starting to pull off. Two bands ran
aloft on the delise forward, and soon
loosened the top-gallant sail and topsail,
which had been furled when she dropped
anchor.
“As the mate let go the casks he cast
off the line by which our two canoes
were towing, and the one I was in pad
died alongside the schooner.
“The vessel's crew were working
livelv, I can tell you. There was a gang
at the windlass and the anchor had al
ready broken ground; the topsail was
hoisted and ready to be sheeted home.
The schooner swung with the wind, and
a man took the wheel just as we got
abreast of the gangway.
“The little Frenchman was walking
the poop furiously, looking toward the
shore from which the boat was coming,
then out to sea. When he saw our canoe
he took hold of the main rigging with
one hand and leaning over the rail said,
in a low voice, like a hiss: ‘How close in
can I go to there?’ pointing to the large,
high rocks that we call the sail rocks, at
the northeast end of the island.
“ ‘With a steady breeze you can run in
so you can throw a biscuit ashore,' said
L ‘There is plenty of water there, but
;he tide is running you want to
allow lor it,’
“Then he asked, very sharply, if I was
a pilot.
No, I replied; ‘but why so much
haste, captain?
“He cursed me and yelled; ‘You ask
why I hurry—look yonderf
“As he spoke he pointed seaward.
Coming down before the wind, with
royals and stuns'ls set, was a vessel.
Shfc was not more than six miles away,
and was no doubt the English man-of
war brig. It was the sail my father had
told me of as I was leaving the beach.
“The second mate’s boat was hoisted,
and when the flying jib was set the top
sail and- topgallant sail were sheeted
home, and the schooner began to move
slowly through the water, but not so fast
but that the other boat, which was now
alongside, was hooked on and hoisted up,
the crew clambering out by the main
chains and on to the deck.
Capt. Glanvil had got somewhat
cooled down, and was giving his orders
in a clear and quiet tone. The fore and
main sheets were slacked off, the gaff
topsail get, ami the slaver headed a little
West of nortii, \7“h the wind abeam, a
course that took her along the
of the island and at a right angle to the
course steered bv the brig.
- we paddled to the shore as fast as we
could., and had just reached the beat'll
and turned to have a look at
when what should \ ve see but the bng'
which had now come quite near, headed
up into the wind.
“Her yards were alive with men, and
what but a moment before had been a
beautiful, trim pile of canvas from deck
to trucks was now a mass of flapping
sails and flying cordage. Everthing had
been clewed up and let go, and the crew
were trying to hand the sails, though
they flopped so loud that they sounded
like a volley of muskets to us on shore.
“I looked over to the schooner, but she
was holding on to everything, though
she keeled over so far that her lee rail
was under water, and her crew were
hanging on the weather rigging and fife
rails like so many flies on a ceiling.
“The wind now began to come in gusts
and the air grew cold, and it chilled me
as the fog used to do in London. There
was a dash of rain, and it got so thick
that we could not see either vessel.
“There was a flash, then a crash of
thunder, and it lightened for a moment.
Then we saw that the slaver had taken
in his flying jib, his topgallant sail, and
his gaff topsail and was settling away
his topsail, and a crowd of men were
crawling up the ratlines to reef it, though
how they could expect to hand the sail
in such a gale I could not understand.
“The brig, under close reef topsails,
was standing away from the island and
steering nearly south. Her yards were
squared, and then 1 saw that the wind
had shifted round to the nortivard and
that the slaver was close hauled and dip
ping her bow under so that it seemed as
if she must be buried every plunge she
made.
“Then came another squall of wind and
rain, and the air grew almost as black as
night.
“ ‘The wind is heading him off,’ my
father cried, placing his voice close to my
ear. ‘He will never get past the rocks.’
“Again there was a flash that almost
blinded us, a crash that seemed as if the
world had come to an end. Then the
air lighted up so that we could see the
poor Clelise. Her mainmast was gone
and had carried with it the foretopmnst.
I thought I could see the men that had
been on the topsail yard struggling with
the wreckage to leeward, but there was
little time to think of them. The craft
was not a ship’s length from the sail
rocks, and headed right between them.
“A great sea came rushing toward her.
Oh! I shut my eyes. There was a crash
that we heard above tbe roar cf the
storm.
“There was another volley of wind, of
rain, of light, of thunder. Then it cleared
again. The wind blew a steady gale,
and the rain fell more regularly. We
could see the rocks and the ocean, but
that was all. The slaver had disappeared
and the brig was not in sight.
“The gale continued until the sun
went down, but with the rising of the
moon, which was at its full, it subsided,
and by 8 o'clock in the evening the 6ky
was as clear and tiie stars shone out a*
steady and bright as if all the world wae
at peace and all its people happy.
“The storm had done much damage
on the island. More than half our huts
liad been blown down, a number of the
canoes bad been dashed to pieces on the
beach, and many of our finest ooooanut
trees were lying upon the ground.
“All that night our people spent in go
ing back and forth upon the beach, and
many a terrible sight they saw. With
the flood tide, which began to turn a lit
tle before midnight, the bodies of the
black people and of the slaver’s crew
came floating in with the wreckage of
the vessel. We looked for some signs of
life among them, but all In vain.
“About 8 o'clock in the morning one of
our people found the body of tle cap
tain. His heart still beat and be breath
ed faintly, but he died before we got
him upon the beach. He had a fright
ful gash in his forehead and both legs
were broken.
“Just after tbe finding of the captain
I came across tbe body of a woman with
a baby in her arms. The little tiling had
its face against her breast, and when I
felt it 1 found that it was warm. I took
it up and gave it to my wife, who car
ried it to our hut. She rubbed it and
held it by the fire and in a few moments
it gave a low moan, then opened its eyes
ana began to cry.
“My wife and I took good care of the
little thing; it was a boy, and we brought
it up. You saw him on board your snip
this morning. Surf Johnson, for so 1
christened him, and that figure-head you
see in there, are all that is left to remind
us of the Clelise, of Bordeaux.
“The next day we buried the bodies of
ninety-eight persons, black and white,
that were washed ashore. The rest were
swallowed up by great Father Ocean,
and, as the Good Book says, we shall
never see them till the judgment day.
“We heart aftei ward that the brig
rode out the storm and reached Sierra
Leone in safety." —W. A. Boyce in

A SONG OF HOPE.
Sunny days are fleeting.
Happy hearts are beating.
Smiling lips repeating:
“How cheerful is this earth."
Fearing not the morrow.
Seeking not to borrow
Fro-a another's 6orrow
A tamper for their mirth.
But other hopes are dying.
And other heurts nre sighing,
And other lips are crying:
“Oh, welcome, tardy Death!
Our life is but a bubble;
Our lot is pain and trouble;
We’ve gathered only stubble.
And felt the tempest's breath."
Alas! some lives are tearful.
And others bright and cheerful.
But be not sad nor fearful.
For heaven is just and fair.
The miser dies for treasure,
Tlie monarch sees no leisure,
And they who seek but pleasure
Soon And that castle air.
And they whom life oppresses
Find heaven doubly blesses
And soothes their sad distresses.
And all will rightly prove.
For heaven's smile is o'er us
And heaven's bow before us,
6o join the. mighty chorus
Of praise. For God is love,
—C. K. Stewart
THE OFFICE BOY.
How He 2' u , ” "
May Get 1 Other Tiling.
Are office boys never promoted, then?
Certainly, I have known several cases,
and will give a free translation of three.
I wrote a note to a book house that ran
after this fashion:
I want you to try as n boy Fred . He is
plucky, means business, will not whine üboirt pro
motion, will work as early amt late as you wish,
will hold tiis tongue, and will earn $- for every
one you pay him. He will be content with a
week.
I received this reply in substance:
I have no vacancy among the Ixiys. but such a
boy us you mention will always pay twice over.
It was a loud commendation you gave him If
you dare stand by it, send him nlong I shall
keep your indorsement for ready reference.
Fred reported for work the next morn
ings He began at the bottom, sweeping,
dusting, clearing up. taking away books,
carrying off waste paper, etc. In a
short time the store looked as it never
did before. He was the first there in
the morning and the last at night. He
never asked what to do next, but found
something to do until new work was
assigned. lie kept his .mouth shut., his
eyes and ears open, and his feet and
thoughts active. The fifth week they
raised him to §5 and gave him work
above four other youths whom he found
there. At the end of four months he
was raised to §l2 a week without ask
ing it.
Ben went from the high school into
an office at S3 a week. They told him
plainly that there was no probability of
promotion, as no boy had been promoted
for twelve years, but there was a possi
bility. There was nothing about him
that was promising. He bail not stood
high in school, was not a good penman,
was not strong physically; but he went
to work with the full determination that
he would “get there."
A few days after the senior member of
the firm saw him going to the postoffice,
and was so delighted with his evident
intent to boom the mail business that he
said to his associates: “I wish there was
some way to label Ben ‘This boy is from
the house of & It is worth
something to have such an exhibition of
busfness on the street.”
In the course of a few months another
boy was secured, and Ben was given §6,
until, in less than three years, he was
having §2O a week, making a place for
himself by the way he did everything.
In those three years a thousand other
boys in Boston had changed from place
to place, and were still working for §3
or §4 a week.
The boy who is merely an office boy
will never be promoted, neither will he
who is above being an office boy; who is
lazy, indifferent, talkative, sulky, moody,
meddlesome, envious, jealous, afraid of
doing more than his share, and bound
not to earn more than he is paid for. He
will be promoted who makes himself
equal to every emergency; who loves
work, learns bow to work, bow to be
cheerful and loyal, lending a hand every
where; who puts brains into liis work;
who lets his "bead save his heels;’’ who
will work anywhere, at any time, at any
thing, without complaint.—A. E. Win
ship in tiolueu Rule.
The Endurance of the Catuel.
Admiral D. D. Porter, who once went
to North Africa to secure camels for in
troduction into America, said in a
recent interviews “In their campaigns
against Algiers, the French were
surprised to see their camels, al
though reduced to skeletons, making
forced inarches with their loads. Mules
in their condition could not have carried
even their saddles. A camel's flesh is
as good as lieef. You can hardly tell one
meat from tire other. Camel’s milk is
very good, oh I can testify, because I
used it in my coffee. A camel generally
drinks once in three days, and besides
his four stomachs lie carries a sort of
reservoir in which Ire stores water. 1
have been told tiiat even ten days after
the death of a camel this reservoir can be
opened and ten or fifteen pints of clear
drinkable water taken from H
"On one occasion six camels carried
2.648 pounds of oats and made the jour
ney in much quicker time than two wag
ons, each drawn by six mules, and to
gether carrying aliout the same weight
of load. Ou a very heavy rood a caravan
of our camels carried from Ban Antonio
nearly two tons of outs, making about
twenty miles, a day. Tbe rohds were
such that wagons could not have been
used at aIL I believe this is an exj>eri
ment worth trying again. The camel
would not only make a valuable adjunct
to our army in the northwest and west,
but I believe the day is coming in which
he will be domesticated as a beast of
burden all through the southern and
middle regions of this country."
Not Much of g/glght. After All.
