The Captain’s Daughter.
For two years I had been mate of the
schooner Jessie, Capt. Martin, plying
regularly between Sydney, New South
Wales, and Hobartstown, Van Dieman’s
Land. We had a trim craft, easily han
dled, and our crew never exceeded six
men. There was no second mate, and
the Captain stood his own watch. A
year before I engaged with her she had
been captured by convicts from the penal
settlement, and when recovered, after
two or three days she had been supplied
with an arsenal,
The trip which gave rise to the inci»
dents Tam about to relate, brought the
Captain’s daughter on board for the first
time, she having been away to school for
a couple of years, The schooner was
named after her, and if a vessel could
feel proud of anything then the Jessie
would have been puffed up over the
good looks of the girl whose name she
bore. Miss Martin was a typical Eng
lish girl, and just as handsome as the
best of them. She was then 19 years
old, in the best of health and spirits
and it was as good as medicine for a
sick person to hear her sing and laugh.
As our voyages were short and safe we
had been able to keep the same crew for
a long time, but on this trip we were all
broken up. Two of the old men had
been taken ill while we were loading, a
a third had mysteriously absented him
self, and on the day we were to sail the
cook walked ashorein a huff. There
was no trouble, however, in filling the
four vacancies. Indeed, they were ap
plied for as soon as vacated. The cook
was another colored man with good re
commendation, while the three sail
ors were English-speaking and of Eng
lish nativity. They were hard
looking {fellows, and I would not
have trusted them not to rob me,
but I took them just the same. At
sea they .would have their stations and
Yheir orders, and the aiscipline of a ves
sel discourages all exhibitions of impu
dence towards officers. Our crew was
now composed of six sailors, Captain,
mate and cook, and the girl Jess brought
the number on board up to ten.
It is a run of over 500 miles almost
due south from Sydney to Hobartstown,
but until passing Cape Howe we had
the coast in view, and knew where shel
ter could be had in case of a storm.
Our crew went cheerfully to work, the
weather favored us, and for three days
.everything went as smoothly as you
please. Ihad two of the old men and
one of the new in my watch, and on the
fourth night, as we just held steerage
way during my watch, the man at the
wheel, whose name was Needham, and
who had been with us several voyages,
fussed around for a time, and finally
said:
«Mr, Loring, I'd like to speak with
you about a matter.”
¢«Very well; what is it?”
¢J don’t like them new men, sir.”
. “For what reason?”’
¢‘They’ve got their heads together too
often, sir, and they've talked to Bill and
Tom, my old mates, until they’ve upset
them.”
“About what?”
¢“Well, sir, about pirates and islands
and treasure, and such stuff. Tdidn’t
take tc ’em, and they didn’t take to me,
and so they don’t trust me, but I can’t
help but think there’s something wrong
in the wind.”
I wasn’t startled—not even worried.
‘Bailors are always talking such nonsense
“among themselves and aboard of every
craft there is always a tale bearer who
wants to curry favors. Needham was
distant and peculiar, as I had heard the
men say, and that was why the trio had
‘mot taken to him. I thought the matter
over for some time, and then thanked
the man for his information and asked
him to keep his eyes open. Wehada
‘light ~ breeze all = night, and. the
et Belas taé Rl > i the" Wil
s i e N os v
ly sinco Needham stated his suspicions,
but not a thing could I discover to con
firm his statements. They were cheer
ful, prompt and respectful, and I quite
dismissed any thought of conspiracy. If
‘Needham had heard or seen anything
further he had not reported it, 'although
invited to doso. = -
The captain’s trick that night was
from Bto 12. At 9 o’clock I was asleep
in my berth, the captain was lounging
and smoking, and Jess was in the cabin
after some article of clothing. There
was no wind yet, while the night was
soft and starlicht. There wasa man at
the wheel, but this was mere form’s
sake, he having nothing to do. All of
a sudden as the captain paced the quar
ter some one in the fo’castle shouted
“Murder!” There was a scramble and a
rush, followed by a splash, and a. chok
ing voice from the water gasped out:
¢lts mutiny, captain, look out!”
It was the voice of Needham who had
been stabbed and flung overboard.
Next moment the captain saw every
other man before the mast advancing aft
arined with capstan bars and belaying
pins. The cook was with them, and the
old man was not long in realizing that
something worse than jmutiny was on.
Instead of ordering, or#rguing, or wait
ing for explanations, he leaped down
into the cabin and bolted the heavy doors
behind him, Ihad heard the row, and
was now dressed, and so it came to pass
that the captain, Jess, and myself were to
gether aft, and all made prisoners at once.
“It's mutiny, Mr. Loring!” shouted the
captain as I entered .the main cabin.
“Arm yourself and we'll teach the ras
cals a lesson not to be forgotten!”
He had scarcely ceased speaking when
a bullet struck him in the right shoulder,
and a shot fired at me grazed my head.
One of the mutineers had fired through
the open skylight. The captain stag
gered to the sofa, and in a jiffy I had the
lights out. Then I pulled the heavy sash
down and secured it, and we were safe
for the moment. It needed no explana
tion to satisfyme of what had happened.
The crew had seized the schooner, and
Needham had been murdered because he
would not join the conspiracy. Ihad a
revolver, and I started for the deck, but
the captain stopped me:
¢Come back, Mr. Loring. You have
no show! They would kill you before
you got on deck!”
¢‘But we must get the schooner back!”
¥ said.
¢‘Certainly; but we can’t do it by
throwing our lives away. We are safe
for the precent. Help me off with my
coat and attend to this wound. Jess,
you take my revolver and stand in the
companionway to guard the doors.”
Igotat the wound as soon and as
carefully as I could, and was rejoiced to
find that the bullet had struck the bone
and glanced off. Indeed, it fell out of
the flesh as I washed away the blood. It
was thus a painful but not a.dangerous
wound. I soon had it attended to, and
the captain thought he would not be
prevented from handling a revolver. I
had just got him fixed up when some
one rapped at the doors, and a voice ex
claimed:
¢Below, there! I want a word with
youl” |
““What is it?’ demanded the Cap
tain.
““The schooner is ours, as you of
course know., We. don’t want your
lives. You can have a boat and start off
as soon as you please.”’
¢‘But we don’t propose to go!”
“Don’t get cantankerous, old man.
‘We’ve got the schooner, and we know
enough to keep her. We don’t want you
here. If you accept our offer, all right.
If you want to fight it out, then look
out for yourselves!” ,
““That’s what we propose to do,” re
plied the Captain, and then all was
quiet.
I crept to the head of the companion
stairs and heard the mutineers convers
ing in low tones, and while I sought to
catch what they said, a man ran aft to
the wheel and the others began to make
isail. The calm was broken. I knew
the course they would make without
seeking a sight of the cabin compass.
They would head to the west, probably
for King Island, and while between the
south coast of Australia and the north
coast of Van Dieman’s Land, a stretch of
over 200 miles, there would be no fear
of meeting with any craft larger than a
e A
Ty vyt ot
‘and perhaps not until morning,” said
W first made a barricade at the door
of the main cabin, using the sofa, = table
and chairs. Then we got out and load
ed five muskets, placed three cutlasses
handy, and, in addition, each had a re
‘volver. We worked in the dark, but
we knew where everything was to be
found. You might have looked for the
girl to break down, but there was never
a sign of it. :
The schooner reeléd off the miles at a
lively pace for the next four hours, and
morning came without our having been
disturbed. Then sail was shortened,
the craft laid to, and, as soon as the men
had had a bite to eat, the leader sum
moned us with: .
¢Below, there!”
¢Well,” answered the Captain.
‘“We will give you another chance to
leave. You can have a boat, oars, sail,
water, and grub, and no one shall hinder
your going.”
¢‘Suppose we refuse to go?”
¢‘Then your blood be upon your own
head! Rather than surrender the
schooner we'll burn her and you with
her! Tl give you half an hour to think
it over.”
We didn’t want two minutes. We
were determined not only not to leave
the schooner, but to recapture her.
We expected to be attacked first
by the skylight, but this was a
small affair, and did not command but
a portion of the cabin. And, as we
afterward ascertained, the only firearm
among the mutineers was a double-bar
relled pistol, which had already been
dischargel, and could not be reloaded
for want of ammunition. They would
also batterin the doors of the com
panion, but we hoped to hold them at
the barricade. ‘They could not come
at us by way of the hold, for that was
full.
We got a bite to eat from the pantry,
and by that time were hailed for our an
swer. The Captain replied that we would
not go, and defied them to do their
worst. 'We heard them moving softly
about, and at her own request Jess was
allowed to pull away a portion of the
barricade and creep up the stairs to lis
ten, while the Captain and I stood with
our guns ready to repulse any attack by
the skylight. Jess was returning when a
battering ram drove in the doors hardly
an arm’s length away, and the men who
had wielded the spar raised a yell at
sight of her. Not one person in ten
thousand, man or woman, would have
done as she did. Instead of springing
over the barricade,she levelled her revol
ver and shot one of the men,the leader of
the mutiny, through the head as he stood
above her. Ashe threw up his arms
and fell she shouted to us to come up,
rushed up the stairs and we heard her
fire twice more before we got over the
barricade. t
‘When we got on deck no one but Jess
was to be seen erect. Two dead men
and one wounded unto death were lying
on the deck, and the other three had fled
to the fo’castle. Two minutes later they
were begging for their lives, and they
crawled like curs as they came up to be
bound. Jess killed two of the new
men and mortally wounded the cook, and
the mutiny had been put down and the
craft retaken before you could count a
hundred. Her movements had been so
swift and her aim was so fortunate that
everything had to go before her.
It would have made your hair stand
up to listen to the confession of those
rascals. The seizure of the schooner
had long been contemplated, and a part
of the plan was to get hold of the girl.
Had we accepted the offer of the boat
we would have been killed as soon as we
reached the deck. The leader was an
ex-convict named Tke Reese, and he pro
posed to turn the craft into a regu
lar .pirate, strengthening his crew
from such small craft as he might over
haul. The cook died within an hour and
we hove the three bodies overboard with
out ceremony. During the forenoon we
worked the schooner to the east, and
about noon got a couple of hands from
an English merchantman and put into
Melbourne to report and to deliver up
our prisoners. One was hanged for the
crime, but one died before the trial and
the other escaped and was shot dead
by the officers in pursuit.—New York

The fact that Harding Post, G. A. R.,
Department of Missouri, did not attend
the funeral of Comrade Frank Runge,
has caused considerable comment in
North St. Louis. Had the remains been
interred in Calvary Cemetery, an expla
nation could have been found in the
well-known interdiction of secret socie
ties by some ecclesiastics of the Catholic
Church. But the body wss borne to a
Lutheran burying ground. Mr. Runge,
who had been a member of Harding Post
since its organization, died. The mem
bers of the post met and resolved to at
tend the funeral in a body. All ar
rangements were completed, and pall
bearers appointed to carry the dead com
rade to his last resting place, but when
the commander of the post and several
others called upon the family to inform
them of the arrangements that had been
made, they were informed that the post
could not carry out its plans. Relatives
of the deceased told them that the rules
and regulations of the Lutheran, or
Faxon Uemetery, would not allow secret
societies to enter, and that if they in
tended to attend the funeral, they should
discard their regulia. =~ The members
would not submit to this, but went
through their customary ceremony at the
residence, and allowed the funeral to
proceed without them. One of the di
rectors of the cemetery added: ‘49
would not consider the G. A. R. a secret
society, and cannot see why they shpald
not be permitted to enter with theiy re
galia to conduct the obsequies.”— (iobe
