A SHIP OF ’49. ByJJBET HARTE. [Copyrighted by Houghton, Mifflin Si Co., and published by arrangement w ith them.] (CONTI SUED.] CHAPTER II. The day following “steamer night” was usually stale and flat at San Francisco. The reaction from the feverish exaltation of the previous twenty-four hours was acen in the listless faces and lounging fret of promenaiiers, and was notable in the deserted offices and warehouses still redo¬ lent of last night’s gas, and strewn the dead ashes of last night’s fires. There was a brief pause before the busy life wlildi ran its course from “steamer day ” to steamer day was once more taken tip. In that interval a few anxious speculators and investors breathed freely, some criti¬ cal situation was relieved, or some im¬ pending catastiophe momentarily averted. In particular, a singular stroke of good fortune that morning befell Air. Nott. He not only secured o. new tenant, but, at he sagaciously believed 'Introduced inti tho Pontiac a counteracting influence to the subtle fascinations of do Ferrieres. The new tenant apparently possessed a combination of business shrewdness and brusque frankness that strongly impressed his landlord. “You see, Kosey,” said Nott, complacently describing the inter¬ view to his daughter, “when I sorter in¬ timated in a keerless kind o’ way that sugar kettles and hair dye was about played out ez securities, he just planked down the money for two mouths in ad¬ vance. ‘There,’ sez he, ‘that’s your se¬ curity—now where’s mine?’ ‘I reckon I don’t hitch on, pardner,’sez I; ‘security what"for?’ ‘ ’Spose you sell the ship?’ sez he, ‘afore the two months is up. I’ve heard that old Sleight wants to buy her. ’ ‘Then you gets back your money, ’ sez I. ‘And lose my room,’ sez he; ‘net much, old man. You sign a paper that whoever buys the ship inside o’ two months hez to buy me cz a tenant with it; ( l1rat's on the square.’ So I sign the paper. It was mighty cute in the young feller, wasn’t it?” he said, scanning his daughter’s pretty, puzzled face a little anxiously; “and don’t you see ez I ain’t goin’ to sell the Pontiac, it’s jest about ez cute in me, eh? He’s a contrac¬ tor somewhere around yer, and wants to be near his work. So he takes the room next to the Frenchman, that that ship captain quit for tlic mines, and succeeds miterally to his chest and things. He’s mighty peart looking, that young feller, Rosey—long black mustaches, all his own color, Rosey—and lie’s a regular high- stepper, you bet. I reckon he’s not only been a gentleman, but ez now. Some o’ them contractors are very high toned!” “I don’t think we have any right to give him tho captain’s chest, father,” said Rosey; “there may be some private things in it. There were some letters and pho¬ tographs in the hairdye man’s trunk that you gave the photographer.” “That’s just it, Rosey,” returned Ab¬ ner Nott, with sublime unconsciousness, “photographs and love letters you can’t sell for cash, and I don’t mind givin’ ’em away if they kin make a feller creature happy.” “But, father, have we the right to give ’em away?” “They’re collateral security, Rosey,” said her father, grimly. “Co-la-te-ral,” he continued, emphasizing each syllable by tapping the fist of one hand in the open palm of the other. “Co-la-te-ral is the word the big business sharps yer about call ’em. You can’t get round that.” He paused a moment, and then, ns a new idea seemed to he painfully borne in his round eyes, continued cautiously: “Was that the reason why you wouldn’t touch any of them dresses from the trunks of that opery gal ez skedaddled for Sacra¬ mento? And yet them trunks I regularly bought at auction—Rosey—-at auction, on spec—and they didn’t realize the cost of dray age.” A slight color mounted to Rosey’s face., “No,” she said, hastily, “not that.” Hesi¬ tating, a moment. she then drew softly to his side, and, placing her arms around his neck, turned his broad, foolish face towards her own. “Father,” she began, “when mother died, would you have liked anybody to take her trunks and paw aiound her things and wear them?” “When your mother died, just this side o’ Sweetwater, Rosey,” said Mr. Nott, with beaming unconsciousness, “she hadn’t any trunks. I reckon she hadn’t even an extra gown hanging up in the wagin, ’cept the petticoat ez she had wrapped around yer. It was about ez much ez we could do to skirmish round with Injins, alkali and cold, and wo sorter forgot to" dress for dinner. She never thought, Rosey, that you and mo would live to be inhabitin’ a paliss of a real ship. Ef she had she would have died a proud woman.” He turned his small, loving, boar like eyes upon her as a preternaturally inno¬ cent and- trusting companion of Ulysses might have regarded the transforming Circe. Rosey turned away with the faintest sigh. The habitual look of ab¬ straction returned to her eyes as if she had once more taken refuge in her own ideal world. Unfortunately the change did not escape either the sensitive obser¬ vation or the fatuous misconception of the sagacious parent. "Ye'll be mountin’ a few furbelows and lixins, Rosey, I reckon, ez only natural. Mebbee ye’ll have to priuk up a little now that we’ve got a gentleman contractor in the shin. I’ll see what I kiD pick up in Montgomery street.” And indeed he succeeded a few hours later in accomplishing with equal infelicity his generous design. When she returned from her household tasks she found on her berth a purple velvet bonnet of extraordinary make, and a pair of white satin slippers. “They'll do for a start off, Rosey,” he explained, “and I got ’em at my Aggers.” “But I go ont so seldom, father, and a bonnet”- “That’s so,” interrupted Mr. Nott, complacently, “it might bo jest ez well for a young gal like yer to appear ez if she did go out, or would go out if she watted to. Bo you kin be wearin’ that ar headstall kinder like this evening when the contractor’s here, ez if you’d jest come in from a pasear.” Miss Rosey did not, however, imme¬ diately avail herself of her fall: ~’e pur¬ chase, but contented herself with the usual scarlet ribbon that like a snood con¬ fined her brown hair, when she returned to her tasks. The space between the gal¬ ley and the bulwarks had been her favor¬ ite resort in summer when not actually engaged in household work. It was now lightly roofed over with boards and tar¬ paulin against the winter rain, but still afforded her a veranda like space liefore the galley door, where she could read or sew, looking over the bow of the Pontiac to the tossing bay or the further range of the Contra Costa hills. Hither Miss Rosey brought the purple prodigy, partly to please her father, partly with a view of subjecting it to violent rad¬ ical changes. But after trying it on lie- fore the tiny mirror in tho galley once or tw ice, her thoughts wandered away, and she f 11 into one of her habitual reveries sealed on a little stool before the galley door. She was aroused from it by tho slight shaking and rattling of tho doors of a email hatch on the deck, not a dozen yards from where sho sat. It had been evidently fastened from below during tin wet weather, but as she gazed, the fasten¬ ings were removed, the doors were sud¬ denly lifted, and the head and shoulders of a young man emerged from the deck. Partly from her father’s description, and partly from the impossibility of Its being anybody else, she at once conceived it to be the new lodger. She had time to note that he was young and good looking, graver perhaps than became his sudden pantomimic appearance, but before she could observe him closely he had turned, closed the hatch with a certain familiar dexterity, and walked slowly towards tho bows. Even in her slight bewilderment she observed that his step upon the deck seemed different to her father’s or the photographer’s, and that he laid his hand on various objects with a half ease and habit. Presently lie paused and turned back, and glancing at the galley door for tho first time encountered her wondering eyes. It seemed so evident that she had been curious spectator of his abrupt on deck that he was at first disconcerted and confused. But after a second glance at her lie appeared to resume his compos¬ ure, and advanced a little defiantly wards the galley. “I. suppose I frightened you, up the fore hatch just now?” “The what?” asked Rosey. “The fore hatch,” he repeated impa¬ tiently, indicating it with a gesture. “And that’s the fore hatch?” she said abstractedly. ‘ ‘You seem to know ships. ’ “Yes—a little," ho said quietly. - “I was below, and unfastened the hatch come up the quickest way and take a round. I’ve just hired a room here,” added explanatorily. “I thought so,” said Rosey “you’re the contractor?” “The contractor!—oh, yes! You to know it alh” “Father’s told me.” “Oh, he’s your father—Nott? Cer¬ tainly. I sec now,” he continued, at her with a half repressed smile. tainly, Miss Nott, good morning,” added and walked toward tho way. Something in the direction of eyes as he turned away made Rosey her hands to her head. She had to remove her father’s baleful gift. She snatched It off and ran quickly the companion way. “Sir!” she called. The young man turned half way down the steps and looked up. There was faint color in her cheeks and her pretty brown hair was slightly disheveled from the. hasty removal of the bonnet. “Father’s very particular about stran¬ gers being on this deck,” she said, a little sharply. “Oh—ah—I’m sorry I intruded.” “I—I—thought I’d tell you,” said Rosey, frightened by her boldness into a feeble anti-climax. “Thank you.” She came back slowly to the galley and picked up tho unfortunate bonnet with a slight sense of remorse. Why should she feel angry with her poor father’s unhappy offering? And what business had this strange young man to use tho ship so familiarly? Yet she was vaguely con¬ scious that she and her father, with all their love and their domestic experience of it, lacked a certain instinctive ease in its possession that the half Indifferent stranger had shown on first treading its deck. She walked to the hatchway and examined it with a new interest. Suc¬ ceeding in lifting the hatch, she gazed at the lower deck. As^she already knew the ladder had long since been removed to make room for one of the partitions, the only way the stranger could have reached it was by leaping to one of the rings. To make sure of this she let herself down, holding on to the rings, and dropped a couple of feet to the deck below. She was iu the narrow.passage her father had pene¬ trated the previous night. Before her was the door leading to de Ferrieres’ loft, al¬ ways locked. It was silent within; it was the hour when the old French¬ man made his habitual promennde in the city. But the light from the newly opened Latch allowed her to see more the mysterious recesses of the forward bulkhead than she had known before, and she was startled by observing another yawning hatchway at her feet from which the closely fitting door had been lifted and which the new lodger had forgotten to close again. The young girl stooped down and peered cautiously the black abyss. Nothing was to be seen, nothing heard but the distant gurgle and click of water in some remoter depth. She replaced the hatch and returned by of the passage to the cabin. When her father came home that she briefly recounted the interview with the new lodger and her discovery of curiosity. She did this with a possible in¬ crease of her usual shyness and abstrac¬ tion, and apparently more as a duty than a colloquial recreation. But It pleased Mr. Nott also to give it more than his usual misconception. “Looking round the ship, was he—eh. Rosey?" he said with in¬ finite archness. “In course, kinder sweep- y— ' la’ round tho gaaey and Attend to r«ca you woodruff water, eh?" Even when the young girl had picked up *ber book . with the usual faint smile of affectionate tolerance ard then drifted away In it« pages, Mr. Nott chuckled audibly. “I reckon old French)* didn’t come by when tho young one was bedevilin' you there." “What, father?” said Rosey, lifting her abstracted eyes to his face. At the moment it seonud >ssible that any human IhtclUge’ . -id have suspected deceit or duplicity in Rosey’s clear gaze. But Mr. Nott’s intelligence was superhuman. “I was sayin' that Mr. Ferrieres didn't happen in while the young feller was there—eh?” “No, father,” answered Ros< . with an effort to follow him out of tL pages of her book. “Why?” But Mr. Nott did not reply, Later in the evening he awkwardly waylaid the new lodger liefore the cabin door as that gentleman would have to pass on to his room. “I’m afraid,” said the young man, glancing at Rosey, “that I intruded upon your daughter today. I was a little cu¬ rious to sec the old ship, and I didn’t know what part of it was private.” “There ain't no private part to this yer ship—that cz, ’cepting tho rooms and lofts,” said Mr. Nott, authoritatively. Then, subjecting the anxious look of hia daughter to his usual faculty for miscon¬ ception, ho added: “Tli&r ain’t no place wliar yon haven’t as much right to go cz any other man; thar ain’t any man, fur- riuer or Ainerykan, young or old, dyed or undyed, ez hev got any better rights. You hear me, young fellow. Mr. Ilen- shaw—my darter. My darter—Mr. Ren* shaw. Rosey, give the gentleman a chair. She’s only jest come in from a promey- nade, and hez jest taken off her bonnet,” ho added, with an arch look at Rosey and a hurried look around tho cabin, as if ho hoped to sec tho missing gift visible to tho general eye. “So take a seat a minlt, won’t ye?” J/. \ / u Mr. Iienshaw—my darter." But Mr. Renshaw, after an observant glance at the young girl’s abstracted face, brusquely excused himself. “I’ve got a letter to write,” he said, with a half bow to Rosey. “Goodnight.” lie crossed the pass;, js to the room that had been assigned to him, and, closing tho door, gave way to some irritability ot temper in his efforts to light the lamp and adjust his writing materials. For his excuse to Mr. Nott was more truth¬ ful than mo3t polite pretexts. ’lie hail, indeed, a letter to write, and one that, be¬ ing yet young in duplicity, the near pres¬ ence of his host rendered difficult. For it ran as follows: Duut Sleight: As I found I couldn’t get a chance to make any examination of the ship except as occasion of¬ fered, I just went in to rent lodgings in her from the God forsaken old ass who owns her, and here I am a tenant for two months. I contracted for that time In case the old fool should sell out to some one else before. Except that she’s cut up a little between decks by tho partitions for lofts that that Pike county idiot has put into her, she looks but little changed, and her forehold, as far as I can judge, is intact. It seems that Nott bought her just as she stands, with her cargo half out, but he wasn't here when she broke cargo. If anybody else bad bought her but this cursed Missourian, who hasn't got the hayseed out of hts hair, I might have found out something from him, and saved myself this kind of fooling, which isn't in my line. If I could get possession of a loft on the main deck, well forward, just over the forehold, I could satisfy myself iu a few hours, but the loft is rented by that crazy French¬ man who parades Montgomery street every after ooon, and though old Pike County wants to turn him out, I’m afraid I can't get it for a week to come. If anything should happen to me, just you waltz down heve and corral my things at on for this old frontier pirate has a way of confiscat¬ ing his lodgers’ trunks.

Man is not usually a cleanly animal, jM clo udiness is sometimes attained l>| him as an exceptional state, and th* modern English believe themselves to bt a much cleaner people than tho French. Tho claim is founded on the habits of tbs English upper class and tho richer middle class, hi .-hich, no (loubt, greater perfec¬ tion of tally and hourly cleanliness is maintained than it common among French people. Hut hero again tho ques¬ tion of chronology recurs. Flow long have the English upper classes been to perfectly aud continuously clean as the* aro to-day? Observe that it is tho con¬ tinuity of the cleanliness that makes afi the difference. Tho skin of a Frenchman is clean after ho has taken his warm bath, but he doc3 not take one every morning. Tho Englishman, unless hia health is toe delicate to bear it, sponges himself all over every morning in his own dressing room. This custom began to be prevalent amongst young men in England when I was a boy. The men of Frenchmen tho po coding do generation did exactly as to-day; they took a warm bath occasion¬ ally for cleanliness, and they took shower baths when they wore prescribed by the physician for health, and they Lathed in summer cess for pleasure, but they did not wash themselves all over every morn big. I remember an old gentleman, oi good family and estate, arguing against this strange, new-fangled custom, and maintaining that it was quit© unneces¬ sary to wash tho skin in modem times, as the impurities wore removed by linen. However, the new custom took deep, root in England, because it became ono of tho signs of class. It was adopted as one of tho liabits of a gentleman, and afterward spread rather lower, though it, is not yet by any means universal. It is English chiefly upon this liabit that the present claim to superior cleanliness is founded. In former times tho English were proud of using more water titan the French for ordinary ablutions, and they pretended to believe that tho French were unac¬ quainted with tho use of soap, because they did not provide public pieces of soap ip the bed chambers of their hotels. Tho English have now a clean upper class, but not yet a clean people, at least according to the evidence of physicians who write on health. Tho same physi¬ cians are still more severe on the con¬ cealed dirtiness of many people in the middle classes, a subject that is pleasanter not to dwell upon. The English upper classes aro, by their good example and by their habit of trav¬ eling, tho great teachers of cleanliness in western Europe. Their baths, ewers, water basins and other complicated toilet arrangements aro coppied very extensive¬ ly in France. If you visit a pot sb'p in a small provincial town, quito remoto from tho channel, you will find English wash stand services of full size, or goo<l French copies of them; and if j*ou go to tho irun- tnonger’s you will find all kinds of baths for domestic use, including EnglisVi sponge, baths. In French houses, where the old, small ewera and basins aro re¬ tained, they aro now almost invariably supplemented by a captioio'm tin water jug on the floor. In fact, tho French ar* becoming a cleaner people, an improve¬ ment in which the English have taken the lead, being about forty yean’, in ad¬ vance.—Philip Gilbert Ilaroerton in The Atlantic.
