It often occurs that some will use the utmost industry and perseverance to gain an especial point, but fail in tlieir attempt, while others, who take little or no pains, meet with success. Thus it is with journeys by land and voyages at sea. Two vessels may leave the same port for a distant country, and although one may sail many days later than the other, yet it often occurs that the vessel which sailed last reaches iits destination first. So may it be said of Richard Swift, thenmsterof a trader between I London and Hamburg; who was so remark- able for making quick passages, thut he ob-1 tained tho cognomen of “ Dick Swift—the j ocean racer.” He was qllowed to be a caoi tal sailor, and when lie had become accustom-; ed to a vessel, never liked to part from her; | for lie would find out her trim to an inch of! canvass, and he was not a man to spare sail j or ship either ; let the wind blow how it would,; he despised to take in a reef. If such advice j was ever offered to him, his reply invariably \ was—“ It looses too much time”— or,“ What’s j the use of having canvass on board if you | don’t use it?” He never could bear the thoughts of reefing,and if it was said to him | that the wind did not serve, he would reply— “ Then it must blow us back again, that’s all. j If I promise to sail at a certain hour, I must | go.” During the short cessation of hostilities! between France nnd England, in 1802, sever al vessels were freighted for Hamburg, Am sterdam, and other eastern poits. One mor- j ning as the sky cleared, and rendered objects visible at a good distance, the “ Good Intent” (a trader) was going a good six knots an hour, with a fine breeze aft. Her captain was a careful man, and as the weather was rather squally, he did not care to carry too much sail. His general maxim being—- Better be a few hours later, than come into port with a shiv ered topsail. He had taken up his telescope, and was looking out astern to see what other vessels were on the same course, when he sud denly exclaimed; i “ Hey-day! who is this coming along in such haste, with sky-scrapers and every inch of canvass set, ns if ihere was not a capfull of wind stirring? I’ll be bound it is Dick Swift. See how he skims along, leaving every vessel astern of him. I suppose lie’ll be along side of us liefore long, notwithstanding we sailed a tide before him.” Captain Dixon was indeed a true prophet, the vessel which had at first appeared a mere speck on the ocean, gradually enlarged until it was close astern of him. “ How are you, Dixon ? How are you ?” said Dick Swift. “ Fine breeze this, eh ?” “ Why, where the (luce are you going in such haste?” inquired Dixon, “ for you carry canvass enough for a seventy-four.” “ I am on hasty business,” responded Swift. “ The owners desired me to be as speedy as 1 possible, and I always wish to act according to orders. I have been accustomed to do so ever since 1 was mate aboard a man of war, and as the resolution is both good nnd lawful, I don’t wish to break it. Bv-the-by, that’s a good craft of yours, Dixon, and she sails well; but mine sails better. There she goes like a beauty, cutting through the water like a shot. Good-bye, Dixon, 1 must get on ; my vessel’s impatient, you see, anti so am I, and can’t wait for you; good-bye; I shall sec you i.i Ham burg ; I’ll tell the agents you are coming.” Swift’s vessel had now shot ahead of Dixon, and in a few hours was nearly lost in dis tance. “ There he goes,” said Dixon. “ The fel low has the devil’s luck and his own too. 1 often wonder he doesn’t meet with some neci dent, for he flogs his ship most unmercifully. So, to, here’s a heavy squall coming; T see it running along the water’s edge. Make all snug there, and let '9 receive it as quietly as we can. Down with your royals. My word for it, Master Swift will have some of his tackle overboard if it catciies him.” . c The squall came quickly on: it w as a severe one ; hut the wise precaution of Dixon pre sented any mischief on board his ship., it 1 passed over quickly, and the weatlter becom ing more serene, Dixon hoisted his royals, ano', with a steady breeze aft, he cut through the water at eight knots an hour, which wasjoak ishlv termed one of Dixon’s gallops. “ Now I must have a look after my friend Swift," said Dixon, as he took up his glass. “ Ah, there he is; the squall has just got hold of him. Madcap! He’ll soon loose some of his canvass, or I’m mistaken. There; there goes his topsail. I expected ns much. He’s getting pretty close on Cuxhaven, though! Well, I shall not be many hours after him.” Dick Swift, who had made the best use of his time, was within ten leagues of Cuxhaven when the squall caught him. He was below at the time, and the mate, who was then ou deck, perceiving its approach, gave orders to strike the royals and reef the trysail. Butno sooner were the words given, than Swift came hurrying on deck, and, with stentorian voice, roared out— “ Hold, topman, let the sails alone. Who the devil to'd you to reef and strike ?” said he to the mate. “ A squall coming on, sir,” was the reply. “ What the devil has the squall to do with jus ?” replied Swift. « I don’t suppose it will blow us out of the water ; besides, it looses time to reef and shake out; and I hate your lazy snail’s gallop.” > “ Are we to hoist the royals again, sir?” | culled one of the topmen. “No, ne\9r m nd,” replied Swift, « since they ore down, let them remain so.” It was well for him that they were struck, for when the squall reached him, it was with such violence that, in spite of all his skillful manouvering, it carried away his topmast and tore his mainsail to ribbons. However, ho got lo Cuxhaven without any other damage, and soon reached tho Bourse at Hamburg, where he. did not forget to boast of his quick passage, and the number of vessels he had left behind him. Dixon came in the next morning, without a stitch of canvass being Injured.— Swift began to banter him. . “ Well, Dixon, how are you? You have arrived at last, eh ! Slow work, slow work, eh!” “If it’s slow, it’s sure,” replied Dixon. “ When I come into port I bring my vessel ia complete, with every stick standing; I don’t come towing into port without a topsail, or my mainsail cut to ribbons, like other people that I could name.” *• Oh, d—n the topmast,” retorted Swift ; “ It was old and good for nothing, and now I shall get anew ons ; so I gain by the loss; and as for the trysail being a little torn, it is but a few yards of canvass spoiled, and my owners don’t mind that now and then, provi ded I make a quick passage.” “ Well,” said Dixon, “ 1 see it is no use to argue with you, for you have an answer for every thing. But I must leave you, for my time is short here. I must get my cargo oa shore, and he off again in three days.” “ Why, what's all this bustle about?” in. NO. 36. quired Swift. “That’s more than I know,” said Dixon. “ All I can tell you is, that the ship is taken by the English families, who leave for London immediately; so lam bound lo sail with or without a cargo.” “ Well,” said Swift, “ I’ll walk with you tq the quay : but spite of all your bustle and haste, I wouldn’t mind laying a wager that I see the Thames as soon ns you.” “ Time will show, time will show,” said Dix on ; “ but don’t loom too large, lest you should" be mistaken.” Thus did the two sons of Neptune beard each other until they reached the quay. Swift had made so many remarkable voya ges that he was well known over the eastern coast, and whenever any ship owners wanted, to insure a quick passage, Dick Swift was sure to bo eagerly sought after. He was onco master of one of the Mull traders, and a fleet of thorn had dropped down to Grimsby,' and thence to Spurn, where, finding the wind ad verse und blowing stiff from tho soulh-ec'st and fearing to be blown out to the stony bank, they remained at anchor waiting for more fa vorable weather. The following day Dick Swift got his cargo on board and dropped down to Grimsby with tire tide, where he an chored and got every thing in sailing trim not meaning to bring up at Spurn light, if the tide would last him long enough. Next tide, away he went with all the sail he could muster, and when he arrived at Spurn he found all the others, thut had started two tides before him, lying at anchor. He lay to for a short time. “ Why, what do you all do here at anchsr ?” said he, “ when you ought to be out at sea ?” “ Why you wouldn’t have us go to sea in such a gale of wind as this ?” replied the mas ter of a vessel, who lay alongside. . “To-be sure I would,” replied Swift. “ T am not going to loose time here ; I am off to sea, blow high or blow low, the owner’s busi ness must not be delayed because the winds blow stifTer than usual. So good bye to you all; I mean to see London the day after to morrow.” Swift was as good as his word : he sailed immediately, and reached London safe and sound in forty hours. Many of the ship mas iters felt ashamed at being left behind,' and re-, i solved to sail after him ; but they had delayed so long that they lost their tide, aiul when it I ebbed again tho wind chopped riglit in their | teeth, so that they were detained a day longer in consequence ; and when they got to sea the yale had dropped into a calm, and they made but slow work of it. Dick Swift got his car uo landed, and was soon freighted and ready for sen again. Many inquiries were made re specting the other ships, tc all cf which he re-* plied, “he supposed they were at Spurn wait ing till he went hack to tell them what news was stirring in London.” Dick Swift, having got his clearance, set sni! i on his return to Hull. When he renchedthc. Nore, he found several of the HuH traJsrs at anehor, nnd he did not forget to congratulate them on the quick passage they had made. His jeers made them rather sore ; but there was no help. When Swift got into th 4 Swevn* lie found tho rest of them,and he saluted them all us he passed. There was one vessel com mnnded by Joseph r>eiiton, who had rm*
