It seems that Peter, whow name Is
not Peter at all. hot aome thing in
which aU tho loiters of the alphabet
aro combined, was horn in a little
hamlet in Sweden. Ever since he
first rpod a translation of "Robinson
Crusoo," at the age of 10, Peter had a
violent mission for the sea. One day
& heard of America. He asked how
off this great land might bo, and
his father replied that it was on the
other tide of -the great Irish sea and
across the Atlantto. The next day
Peter niado up a little bundle of neces
saries and stoned off to find this glori
ous Eldorado. He reached Lets, a
small fishing port on the coast of Swe
den.
• Walking along the wharves he saw
a bark of about BOO tons that was ad*
vertised to start for New York on that
very day. He had never heard of
New York, but as ho clambered over
the port rail of the little ship he blind] -
hoped that it was somewhere near hL

Hy accident Peter stumbled into tho
hold of the ship. Ho secreted himself
among a number of barrels, and, os he

‘^that I went on deck. Iw
sick collooso, I can tell you. But
wasn’t too sick to see that something
horible had happened. The cap’n
stood near the wheel looking hope
lessly toward shore and didn’t even
notice me.' Tho sea was runnin’ high.
A heavy galo had caught hb to lee
ward and wo had sprung a leak. Our
ship was pretty fast ana wo were out
of sight or land. The leak was a bii:
one and our ship was fillin’ fast. Ai
the men wero nt work at tho pumps,
but the water was gainin’ on ’em and
they wero losin’ heart and hope.
Whon tho cap’ll saw me ho did didn't

“Tnen ho hurried mo down into tho

Tho man wont away, but’he soon come
back on’ told tho Cap that all was
right
“‘Then tho Cap’n ho took mo down 1
into the bow of tho old hulk. That’s
wher’ she’d sprung a leak. Thor’ was

Tho bit Cargo of Slaves.
Probably the most interesting char
acter hereabouts, says Tho Augusta
(Go.) Chronicle, is a negro man who
was ono of tho cargo of tho Wanderer,
the lost slavo'sliip to bring to this
country a load of captives from Africa.
Lucius. Williams, as ho was christened
by ono of tho young ladies of tho fam
ily into which ho was sold, or “Urn-
walla," ns ho was colled ip Africa, lives
in a small hut on tho outskirts of
Hamburg, across tho river from hero.
Sinco freedom ho has earned a liveli
hood working gardens, sawing wood
and whitewashing. Ho was a little
surprised when asked about his early
life, but talks • well qnco ho has
begun, requiring to bo questioned fre
quently, however. Uinwolld was born
m Guinea, according to his story, not
Liberia. Ono day when- bo was about
10 years of ago ho wns sout to his aunt
to carry 1 hor some piudors to plant
When ho wns going through tho
woods two strango black men seized,
him und bound liis hands. Ho cried
terribly and they soon gagged him.,
They sold him too native, who took
him to Liberia. Tbcro, for- tho first
time in his life, he saw a white man,
and lie wns terribly frightened nt
him.
Urn walla was then taken to tho
Wanderer, where a largo number of
captives hadalready been stored away
in tho hold.
Whon tho Wanderer approached tho
South Carolina coadt sbo was sighted
by a government boat and given
cnaso. During.tho night sho dropped
anchor off 1’ocotaligo and tho cargo of

Oinwalla, or, as ho was soon after
ward caliru. Lucius, was taken to a
Carolina plantation near Beach island
and put to work there.
