A YARN IN THE HALF-DECK.
‘Did you sav you served your ap
prenlircsliip in the Aiethusa ? ’
‘ Yes; 1 served my time in the
Arethusa.’
* What age were you when you
went to sea ? *
‘ I was sixteen.’
‘ Put down sixteen, Bill.’
The scene of the present dialogue
was the fore-castle of a collier brig
at anchor in the Thames; the
speakers an old seaman, and three
others scarcely arrived at middle
age, one of whom, behind the old
man, acted as clerk, with a piece of
chalk on the lid of his own chest.
‘Putdown sixteen, Bill,’ whis
dered one ; and the number was
put down.
‘ Then how long were you in the
Arethusa ? ’
‘ 1 served five years,’ said the old
man ; ‘then t stopped by her other
three ; I was eight years in her al
together. I liked the ship very
well, but I did not like the owner.’
Bid, who was all attention, put
down an eight below the sixteen.
‘ But you would be a young fel
low then ; I should think you would
not be long out of a ship ! *
‘ I got a ship directly, and sailed
for North America. Well, as it hap
pened, we were water-logged as
we were on our passage home ; all
hands took the rigging, where we
were three without a bite of
anything, or as much as a drink.—
On the fourth day got hold of a dead
bird of some kind that was floating
past —ate it, feathers and all. Well,
I did not tell you all hands died but
invself, and the only way I could
keep myself alive was by sucking
the grease out of the ropes. 1
knocked about upon the rigging for
a month. At last I was picked up
by an American vessel, and taken
to America. The Americans used
me very well ; so I traded back and
forward among the American ports
for a long time.’
O
‘How long do you suppose you
were in America altogether ‘? ’
‘ I was away ten years from leav
ing home.’
‘Did’ntyougo into tie Green
land trade after that ? ’
‘ No, it was not till some lime af
ter. I was on board of a man-of
war before I was in the Greenland
trade. Somehow or other the press
gang got scent of me ; a good run
we had ; I was nimble on my feet
then ; if I had not slipped and fal
len souse into an asb-inidden, I be
lieve they never would have taken
me, but take me they did. Well, I
was seven years in his majesty’s ser
vice, and I liked the service very
well; but one day the captain and
I had a few words, and said I to
myself, ‘the sooner we part com
pany, the better, old fellow.’ So 1
ran away. It was in the West In
dies. I know they would be after
me, so I got myself stowed into a
hogshead of sugar, and sent aboard
of a merchantman, and got clear
oil that way.’
‘ Bill, who was listening in si
lence, put down, ‘Onboard man
of-war seven years.’
4 Then did you get home all
right'? ’
4 Yes, and then I went to Green
land. INI y eyes ! what sport we
hail the first ten years I was in the
trade! I was there that year when
there wasn’t a whale to be seen, and
we loaded the ship with seals. A
weary job we had ; the ice was
short and hanmnocky, and the stals
as shy as foxes. Somehow we al
ways found one or two fellows, who
had been fuddled may be the night
before, that forgot the way into the
water. When the brutes make a
dive, they are out of sight in a mi
nute.’
‘ How long were you in the
Greenland trade ? ’
4 1 was nineteen years altogether.
Then 1 fancied I would like to be
in a warmer climate, so I got into an
East Indiaman, and traded to the
East for a long lime.’
4 How long do you suppose V ’
‘ About thirteen years. At last
the ship w ? as taken by the pirates,
and the most of the crew had to
walk the plank ; only three cf us
saved our lives by consenting to be
pirates wdth the rest. I never fan
cied a pirate’s life; so one day
when w r e were ashore on a large
island watering, I took leg-bail and
ran away. I’d been with them
three years,which was quite enough.
Well, I got among the natives of
the place, w T ho w r ere mighty kind in
their way ; and as I w T as a brisk
young fellow, I wasn’t long in find
ing a wife among them ; so I lived
there just like a savage for sixteen
years, for there was no chance ol
getting away, and it was just as
well to make myself happy. But
at last an English ship put in for
water, and the longing came over
me to go back to my native land ;
so I smuggled myself on board just
as she was ready for sea, and glad I
was that my wife didn’t follow me.’
4 Did you get home all right and
tight V
4 All right and tight, boh ! ’
‘ Then I suppose you would not
lie up any time at home ? ’
4 Didn’t lie up at all. When I
got home I found my brother had
gone to America ; so nothing w r ould
serve me but I would go to seek
him,as I had not seen him fora long
time. So I got a ship, and ofi’ I
went; but 1 have never seen him
from that day to this, although 1
wandered through America for live
years seeking him. I turned tired
of wandering, and got into a little
vessel trading between Prince Ed
ward’s Island and the mainland ;
and I traded in her for ten long
years —ten long years I can assure
you.’
4 Haven’t you been along time in
the coal trade V
‘ I w r as thirty years in the coal
trade before I went to China.’
4 How did you like the China
trade V
‘ I liked it very well. I was only
in it about five years. After that
I got into the Baltic trade. I w r as
seven years in it; but I tired of it,
so I got a ship and went off’ to the
West Indies, where I was put
ashore sick, and lay in the hospital
for three years. When I did get
better I was a better man than ever,
so I started negro-driver in a plan
tation, where I whipped the poor
fellow’s on for nine years, till at last
the old fit came on me, and 1 would
be off’ to sea again.
4 Was that before you were cap
tain of the old Clinker . ’
‘Yes; that was just before I got
to he captain of the Clinker.’
‘ Werent’ you a long time captain
of the Clinker?’
‘ I w’as captain of the Clinker for
nineteen years. I was captain of
of her till she was lost on the Gun
lleet Sands: it w’as as much as w r e
could do to save our lives that
time. ’
‘ What ship w’as it you lost in the
Swinver ?’
‘ That w’as the Peggy. I was a
long time in her both mate and
master. I was four years mate and
eight years master.’
4 How long is it since the Peggy
was lost ?’
4 Let me see : it will be fourteen
years this next month : just fourteen
exactly.’
4 Then you must be a good old
fellow now ?’
‘Ay: I’m a good age now, you
may depend on’t.’
‘ See what age he is there, Bill,
will you ?’
Bill who had been listenin y in
O
the background, and taking notes
on the lid of his chest, proceeded
to read off the following items :
Went to see in the Areihusa, 16
years old ; in the Arethusaß years ;
in America 10 ; on board man-of
war, 7; in Greenland trade 19, in
East India trade,l3 ; among pirates
3 ;among savages, 16; travelled in
America, 5 ; traded to Prince Ed
wards Island, 10; in the Coal trade
30 ; in the China trade, 5 ; in the
Baltic trade 7 ; in the hospital, 3 ;
negro driver, 9 ; Captain of the
Clinker, 19; in the Peggy, 12
since the Peggy was lost, 14 : total
206 years.
‘Then you’ll be two hundred and
six vears old!’ said Bill with a
chuckle.
* Bravo!’ said Tom ; ‘ there’s not
a man like him in the fleet!’

BLAKE’S
PATENT FIRE PROOF PAINT, FROM OHIO,
THIS SINGULAR and valuable Substance is
sold in fine powder, then mixed with linseed
oil to the consistency of thick paint, and applied
with a brush, and after an exposure of a few
months to the atmosphere, this coating becomes
a perfect slate or coat of mail protecting what
ever is covered from the action of the weather
and fioin tire.
It is a mineral substance, and has been found
upon analyzation by Dr. Chilton, of the city ot
New Yoik.to consist ot larger proportions of
Silicia Alumine, Prot. Oxide of lion and Mag
nesia, with lesser of Lirne and Carbon. It is
used extensively for covering roofs of either
shingles, matched boards, tin, zinc, sheet iron
or thick paper, if yourshinglcs have beon on for
years, you have only to sweep oft'the rnoss and
lint, with a stiff’ bloom, and cover with two or
three good coats, and in a few months you have a
perfect slate roof, impervious to the action of
the weather and fire. There is nothing equal
to it for steamboats and cat-decks, for all kinds of
iron it forms a coating nearly as hard as the iron
itself, and never cleavesoft'. It should be used
for everything that you wish to piotect lrom fire
andvveathei.
In some places a spurious article has been sold
as the genuine, therefore purchasers should be
careful to buy ofauthorized Agents. Every Bbl.
is marked BLAKE’S FIREPROOF PAINT.
The above Paint is for sale by

AYER’S CHERRY PECTORAL.
FOP. THE CURE OF
Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, Bronchitis, Whoa
joing Cough, Asthma and Consumption, ‘l’tie
uniform success which lias attended the use
of this preparation-its salutary efiect-its pow
er to relieve and cure affections of the Lungs,
have gained for it a celebrity equalled by no
other medicine. We oiler it to the afflicted
with entire confidence in its virtues, and the
full belief that it will subdue and remove the
severest attacks of disease upon the throat
and Lungs. These results, as they become
publicly known, very naturally attract the at
tention of medical men and philanthropists
everywhere. What is their opinion ot CHER
RY PECTORAL may be seen in the follow*
ing:—
VALENTINE MOTT, M. D,
Prof. Surgery Med. College, Nav York', says:
“ It gives me plcasure-to certify the value
and efficacy of Ayer’s CHERRY PECTO
RAL, which 1 consider peculiarly adapled|to
cure diseases of the Throat anil Lungs.”
THE 111'. REV. BISHOP FIELD
writes in a letter to his friend, who was fast
sinking under an affection of the Lungs:—
“Try the CHERRY PECTORAL, and it any
medicine can give you relief, with the bles
sing ot God that will.”
° CHIEF JUSTICE EUSTIS,
of Louisiana, writes “ That a young daughter
of his was cured of several severe attacks of
Croup by the ‘ CHERRY PECTORAL.”
ASTHMA AND BRONCHITIS.
The Canadian Journal of Medical Science
states, “That Asthma and Bronchitis soprev
alent in this inclement climate, has yielded
with surprising rapidity to Ayer's CHERRY
PECTORAL, and we cannot too strongly re
commend this skilful preparation to the Pro
fession and Public generally.”
READ THE EVIDENCE.
Albany, N. Y., April 17, 1843.
Dr. Ayer, Lowell Dear Sir:—l have for
years been afflicted with Asthma in llie worst
lorm ; so that I have been obliged to sleep in
my chair for a larger part of the time, being
unable to breathe on my bed. I had tried a
great many medicines to no purpose, until my
Physician proscribed, as an experiment, your
CHERRY PECTORAL.
At first it seemed to make me worse, but in
less Ilian a week 1 began to experience the
most gratify ing relieff rom its use ; and now,
in four weeks the disease is entirely removed.
1 can sleep on my bed with comfort, and en
joy a slate ot health which I had never ex
edeted to enjoy.
