first night out
was fine. The W iz-
atd slightly bowed to
the ocean, and the
sails seemed great
black patches, war¬
ing to and fro against
the sky. The six boys,
so soon to be misera¬
ble, gathered in a cluster on deck. Jed
Coles proposed that we “spin yarns.” It
was the nautjcally correct way of pass-
for the occasion. He sat on a tub, put
an enormous chew, of tobacco in his
mouth, hitched up his trousers and felt
every inch a sailor. - I noticed the Beoond
mate, that incarnation of evil and bru¬
tality, hovering about us, dark as it was.
I saw his fiendish grin and the glare of
his greenish eye. A precious lot of
young fools we must haVe seemed to
him. A little after our yam spinning
was interrupted by shrieks and cries of
distress proceeding from the forward
part of the ship. We had then our first
exhibition of the manner of enforcing
American merchant service discipline.
The second mate was beating Cum¬
mings, a simple being, who, having
sailed only in and tyff}*'
vessels, had made the mistake of ship¬
ping as an ordinary seaman on a much square
rigged craft, and was almost as at
sea in his knowledge of the ropes as the
‘•‘boys." This officer had singled out
Cummings for his awkwardness as the
proper man to “haze.” He was shower¬
ing upon him blows, thick and fast, with
the end of one of thofprebraces. It was
the first time I had ever seen ft man
beaten by one in authority. The cring¬
ing attitude, the cries, sobs and suppli¬
cations of a tall grown man, and the
oaths and terrible ferocity of his casti-
gator, were inexpressibly shocking to
me. The incident, which was often re¬
peated during the voyage,' broke np our
amateur yarning and made us very
thoughtful naufcical-
Jedediah Coles was not at all
ly loquacious the next sight. Then the
Gulf Stream gave us a touch of its tan¬
trums. All during the afternoon'the
sky grew more and more threatening.
By dark it was blowing hard. The
lighter sails one by one were stowed.
Then it blew harder- The mate swore
the harder. The captain came on deck
and swore at everybody. One of would the
“boys” asked him if he thought it
be stormy. He considered himself prm
ileged to ask the captain that question.
He was a native of the same village.
His father and the captain were friends,
and his mother and the captain’s deemed wife it
visited each other. So lie
advisable to establish himself on a socia¬
ble footing with the captain at the com¬
mencement of the voyage. Poor boy!
Never again during the trip did he con¬
sult the captain meteorologically. which He
learned speedily the great gulf
yawns between the cabin ana the fore¬
castle.
It grew dark, the waves became big¬
ger and bigger, and the ship seemed
taxed to her utmost trying to clamber
them one after another «s they presen ted
themselves. The mates came out in
their oilskins.
When the order came to reef, and I
saw toe men clambering up toe tore and
main rigging, I added myself should to their
number, though I felt I never
come down again—at least in one piece.
It was my debut aloft off soundings.
Many a time had I clambered about toe
rigging of the old whalers as they lay at
the village wharf, but they were not
roaring, kicking and {dunging like this
vessel Heavy seamen’s boots kicked
me in the face as I followed their wear¬
ers np this awful ascent; other heavy
boots trod on my fingers; they shook toe
ratlines, too, in a most uncomfortable,
manner. The mast strained and groaned
fearfully. Somehow, after climbing
over some awful chasms, I got on the
yard with the men. I dared not go out
ft;r. The foot rope wobbled, jerked and
gave way under me at times with the
weight and motion of the men upon it
The great sail seemed in no humor to be
furled. It hauled away from us, bellied,
puffed and kept up a gigantic series of
thundering flaps. Laying over on the
yard the men would gather in as much
of the hard, wet, wirelike canvas as
stole and then together haul bock on it

I found myself between two old sail¬
ors, who lost no time in convincing me
of my complete and utter worthlessness
aloft. I concurred.' They bade me clear
out and get down on deck. I was glad
to do so Reefing topsails in reality was
very different from reefing them in
books or in imagination. On reaching
the deck I concluded to lie down: Ail
through the evening I had experienced
an uneasy sensation in toe stomach. I
argued with myself it was not seasick¬
ness-something did not agree with me.
But when I lay down in the scuppers I
admitted being seasick. Then I only
cared to lie there, life was too miser¬
able even to hope in. The tumult went
On as ever. The sailors trampled over
me. Being In the way, they dragged me
aside. I cared not. Finally some one
bawled in toy ear, “Sick! go below.” 1
went. The five other boys, all similarly
affected, all caring naught for life or
living, lay in their bunks.
The boys’ house was about the size of
a respectable pigpen—a single pigpen.
There-was room in it for two boys to
tarn at once, providing they turned
slowly and carefully. On going on board
we had bestowed such of our outfit as
could be brought into this pen in the
manner In which boys of 16 bestow
things generally on first commencing to
“keep house.” Everything was arranged
on a terra firma basis. We made no cal¬
culation for the ship's deviating from an
even keeL When she did commence to
pitch everything fell down. Clothing fell
on toe floor; plates, knives, forks,cups and
bottles rolled from shelf and bunk; bread,
meat, and the molasses pie kegs fell; plum
and sponge cake, and sweetmeats
fell; for each boy had a space in his sea
chest filled with these articles, placed
there by kind, dear relatives at home. It
was intended that we should not refer to
them her until tb® ship was far advanced on
voyage.
But we never had such large supplies
of cake and sweetmeats at hand-before;
so we went for these things immediate¬
ly. The house abounded with them the
first night out. The roof leaked. We
left our sliding door carelessly open, and
■agate-ba rr e l s of the eeean slopped, ova*
toe bulwarks into the apartment. Al
midnight our combined clothing, plates,
mugs, knives, forks, bottles, water kegs,
combs, hair brushes, hats, pants, emits,
meat, bread, pie, cake, sweetmeats, mo¬
lasses, salt water, and an occasional sea-
rick and despairing boy, united to form
a wet, sodden mass on the floor two feet
in depth. Above, the storm howled and
swept through the rigging, with little
sail to interrupt it. Six sick and
wretched boys in their berths lay “beads
and pints,” as they pack herring—that
is, toe toe of one rested on the pillow of
the other, for it was not possible to lie
otherwise in those narrow receptacles
for the living. But toe horrors of that
second night aro not to be related.
No solicitous stewards with basins and
tenders of broth and champagne attend¬
ed »s. Wo were not cabin passengers on
an ocean steamer. Barely had the next
morning’s dawn appeared when our door
was flung open. In it stood that dread¬
ful second mate of toe greenish eyes,
hard, brick red complexion, horny fists
and raspy voice—a hard, rough, rude,
unfeeling man, who cried: “Come out of
that! 0b, you’to youqg bears—; -your
troubles ain’t commenced yet!” Then
his long, bony arm gripped us, one after
another, and tore us from our bunks.
Out this dreadful morning we tumbled,
in the wet clothes wherein we had tain
all night, weak, rick, staggering, giddy.
A long iron hook was put in my hand
and I was desired to go forward and as¬
sist in hauling along length after length
of the cable, preparatory to stowing it
away. Sky and sea were all of dull,
monotonous gray; the ship was still
clambering one great wave after an¬
other with tiresome Mid laborious mo¬
notony. All toe canvas of $he preced¬
ing day had disappeared, save a much
diminished foretopsail and storm stay¬
sail. The mates on duty were alert and

Philadelphia, Dec. 17.—If news had
been received here that President Har¬
rison had committed suicide it would
not have created any greater horriflei
surprise m this city than the telegrams
announcing that Franklin B. Gowen had
shot himself in Wormley’s hotel in
Washington. A man of the most daunt¬

His. Perceptions Weakening.
gesting This may that be perceptions taken perhaps as begin¬ sug¬
his were
ning to grow teas keen mid as support¬
ing the theory that the suicide was due
to aberration of toe mind.
It is said that Mrs. Gowen told a close
friend of the family husband's that for ten visit days
previous to her last to
Washington she had noticed something
strange in bis conduct.
It is thought by many here that Mr.
Gowen’s mind became unbalanced
through too close application to busi¬
ness and that toe suicide was due to this
cause.
