lying next, Little Nell several lengths from Surrogate, and
The lifeless Brute a long way from Little Nell. Immediately
after rounding the turning flag Surrogate passed Cheviot,
and came on with the lead, Johnny, Brine, and Pantaloon
well together, some lengths from the leading pair, who
again changed places in the straight run up to the stand,
which Cheviot passed a couple of lengths in advance of
Surrogate, Brine third, Johnny and Pantaloon abreast nest,
whilst a long way from the latter followed The Useless
Brute, and Little Nell still farther in the rear to the fence
going out of the winning field, where she was pulled up
and walked back. The leading lot continued in pretty close
order over the remainder of the fences until reaching
the farm-house, where Cheviot increased her lead, and Pan-
taloon dropped back into the rear. After jumping the
second hurdle from home, the Useless Brute began to put
on the steam, and, coming on with a wet sail, passed his
horses in succession, until he came up to Cheviot, but being
nearly pumped out, Cheviot drew away from him after
clearing the last hurdle, and won easily by a couple of
lengths; Johnny a bad third; Brine was neat; and Pan-
taloon and Surrogate cantered in 100 yards in the rear of
Brine,

Ironsides with The Screw jumped off side by side, but
before reaching the first fence Ben Land's horse was steadied,
and The Screw went on with the lead, Miss Emma second
Ironsides third, the favourite bringing up the rear. This
order was maintained until nearing the enclosure the first
time round, where Miss Emma passed The Screw, and led
round the top turn, Ironsides and Light of Other Days
third and fourth, to the second fence out of the winning field,
which Light of Other Days refused. He had to be put at it a
second time, when he got safely over, but by his refusal lost
many lengths. Going along the backstretch Light of
Other Days again got on good terms with his horses, Iron.
sides dropping back, and when coming over the big meadow
past the farmhouse was at least 20 lengths from his horse,
The Screw still leading, Miss Emma and the favourite
well up. At the flight of hurdles entering the straight The
Screw blundered, and Light of Other Days joined Miss
Emma, but before reaching the last jump Ironsides had
joined them, and, quitting the pair half way up the straight,
won easily by four lengths. Light of Other Days was
eased opposite the stand, and Miss Emma obtained the
second place ; the favourite a good fourth. The Screw
cantered in last.

nell, 10 to 1 agst Bloodhound, 100 to 1 against any other.
Armless showed the way over the first fence, Rufus,
Bloodhound, Bracknell, and Heliopolis well up, the others,
headed by Forlorn Hope, going on in Indian file, Cyclops
whipping in, to the large meadow, where White Stockings
put on the steam, and soon heading the field, rounded
the turn for home (the first time) with a clear
lead. The favourite, Bloodhound, and Bracknell having
also passed Armless, came on past the stand second,
third, and fourth; Armless going on next, Forlorn
Hope well up, Heliopolis and Cyclops last. The latter on
reaching the top turn pulled up, and walked back into the
saddling enclosure. The others ran along the back-
stretch, where the pace began to tell upon the majority
of the field, as on coming over the big meadow four only
appeared in the race, namely, Bracknell, Übique, and Arm-
less well together, and Heliopolis a dozen lengths in their
rear. Before rounding the bottom turn Armless gave way,
and was soon passed by Heliopolis, who made his effort to

Narrative of the Cruise of the Alabama.

(BY ONE OF THE CREW.)
About the Bth or 10th August, 1862, I signed
articles at the Sailors' Home, Liverpool, to ship in
the British steamship Bahama, Capt. Tessier, for a
voyage to Nassau and back. The Bahama went out
of the Bramley Moore Dock the same night, about
12 o'clock, and went into the river, and lay to. Capt.
Semmes, Capt. James D. Bullock, and some other
officers came on board, and about half-past seven
o'clock, a.m., a tug boat came alongside with some
seamen on board ; the tug boat accompanied us out
about 10 miles. The tug then left us, and a tall
gentleman, with a reddish face, and pock-marked,
who came from Cunard, Wilson, and Company's
office in Liverpool, left us, and went into the tug.
As he left us he said, " I hope you will make a good
thing of it, and that you will stop where you are
going to." We then proceeded on our voyage, and
stood out some days, when we found we were going
to the Western Isles.

About the 17th or 18th August we arrived at
Terceira, and we there found the Alabama and the
barque Aggripin a, from London. Captain Butcher,*
an Englishman, of Liverpool, who took the Alabama
out from Liverpool, and who was on board, hailed
us, and told us to go round the island, and he would
be after us ; but it would take them three-quarters
of an hour to get steam up. We went on, and he
followed ns. The Alabama went under the lee of
the island, and a shot was fired across the Bahama't4
bows from a battery on shore. So we stopped out
until the morning. In the morning we went along-
side the Alabama, and some small cases and a safe
containing money, were passed into the Alabama
from our ship ; and we then parted and anchored
a little distance from her ; and the barque Aggri-
pina went and discharged the remainder of her
cargo into the Alabama. During this time, Captain
Semmes and Captain Bullock were going back-
wards and forwards to the Alabama, but would not
let any of the officers go. On Sunday, the 24th
August, Captain Semmes came on board the
Bahama, and called us under the bridge—he him-
self and the officers standing on the bridge. He
addressed us and said, "Now, my lads, there is the
ship" (pointing to the Alabama), " she is as fine a
vessel as ever floated ; there is a chance which
seldom offers itself to a British seaman—that is to
make a little money. lam not going to put you
alongside of a frigate at first, but after I hale got
you drilled a little, I will give you a nice little
fight." He said, " There are only six ships that I
am afraid of in the United States navy." He said,
" We are going to burn, sink, and destroy the com-
merce of the United States. Your prize money will
be divided proportionately, according to each man's
rank, something similar to the English navy."
Some of the men objected, being Naval Reserve men.
Captain Semmes said, "Never mind that—l will
make that all right. I will put you in English
porta, where you can get your book signed every
three months." He then said, "There is Mr. Kell on
the deck, and all those Who are desirous of going
d give Mr. Kell their
names." A great many went aft, but some refused.

men received either two months' pay in advance or
one month's wages and a half-pay note. I took a
month's wages and a half-pay note for three pounds
ten shillings a month in favour of my wife. The
note was drawn on Fraser, Trenholrn, and Co., of
Liverpool ; but it was paid at M. G. Klingender and
Co.'s office in Liverpool; the note was signed by
Captain Semmes, Clarence Randolph Yonge, who
was the paymaster, and Smith, the Captain's clerk.
I sent five pounds and this half-pay note ashore by
Captain Bullock, and he forwarded the note with a
letter to my wife. Fraser, Trenholm, and Co. paid
the five pounds to Thomas Winstanley, of Liverpool,
for my wife.
Captain Bullock on the Passage out, and after
we arrived at Terceira, used arguments to induce us
to join the Alabama. On several occasions he
advised us, and urged the men to join.
As soon as the men who consented to go had
all signed articles the English ensign which the
Alabama had been flying was pulled down, and the
Confederate flag hoisted, and a gun was fired. The
men who declined joining left the ship with Cap-
tains Bullock and Butcher for the Bahama, and we
proceeded under the command of Captain Semmes.
We proceeded on our voyage and cruised about
the Western Isles for some days, and on the follow.
ing Sunday we fell in with a whaler and burnt her,
and we then cruised about, and in about two days
we fell in with the schooner Starlight, from Boston.
We fired at her four times. The captain said, if I

* Sub-lieutenant, Royal Navy Reserve.

had but one gun on board I would fight you; he
tried to make the land, but:we overhauled him and
he brought to. We kept the crew of the schooner,
and the next day we landed them at the Western
Isles, and took the schooner in for the purpose of
decoying other vessels with the stars and stripes.
We succeeded in capturing several; amongst other
vessels we captured the Manchester, of Philadelphia
line of packets bound from New York to Liverpool.
We burnt this vessel, having first taken her crew,
and we put them on board the Tonawanda, which
we had previously captured and had them in tow.
Amongst the crew there was a man of the name of
George Forrest, who one of the midshipman recog-
nised as having been a seaman on board the Sum-
ter, and had deserted. He was brought on
board to Captain Semmes, who told him if he be-
haved well he should have his pay and prize money
as the other men, but that he had a right to detain
him throughout the war without paying him a cent.
Forrest was retained on board the Alabama, and
was frequently punished by having his hands and
legs fastened to the rigging, the punishment being
known as the spread eagle,' and he would be kept
in this position for four hours at a time, and this
was done at least 20 times. At last they ironed his
legs and arms, and sent him shore on a desolate
island called Blencoola, some 200 miles from the
mainland, and left him. The crew subscribed some
£l7 unknown to Captain Semmes, which we gave
him in the hopes of its being some inducement to a
vessel to take him off.

The English barque Aggripina, flying'. the Bri-
tish flag—the same vessel we found at Terceira with
the Alabama, and which brought out to her a part
of her armament from London, and which had re-
turned to Cardiff, Wales, for a load of coals for her
—was at Martinique when we arrived there, and
she went to sea, and whilst out she supplied us
with coal. After this we went to Arkaskees, where
we stopped and painted the ship, and then went
towards Galvestcn, and off that place we fell in with
the American ship Hatteras, which we sunk. We
got her crew on board, and proceeded toPort Royal,
Jamaica; there I ran away and left the Alabama.
Whilst there the Alabama enlisted two British
sailors who had deserted from her Majesty's ships
Jason and Steady. Thomas Potter, who was fire-
man, also ran away, but the men of the Alabama
came after him, and arrested him, and took him
back to the ship. Clarence R. Yonge, the purser,
also left the ship. I was also arrested at an hotel
in Jamaica by the Alabama's men.‘ !They wanted to
force me on board, but I refused to go until I had
seen the governor of the island, whose residence
was some 15 miles distance. I saw the superin-
tendent of police. On my producing a certificate
that I was Naval Coast Volunteer on board H.M.S.
Majestic, I was released.

My wife received my half-pay during my
cruise. She used to receive it by post-office order,
payable at Swansea, and to obtain this she used to
write to Messrs. Fraser, Trenholm, and Co., or M.
G. Klingender and Co., Liverpool, enclosing the
half-pay note, and the latter firm used to send her
post-office orders for the money: The following are
the letters written to her by M. G. Klingender and
Co.

" Liverpool, Sept. 30, 1862.—Messrs. M. 0, Klin-
gender and Co. must request Mrs. —, before pay-
ing her the £3 10s, to sign her name at the back
of the allotment note, and then return it to them,
when they will remit her a money-order for the
amount less cost of order. P.S.—Please note address.
No. 22, Water-street, Liverpool."
" Liverpool, Oct. 3, 1862. 22, Water-street.—
Madam,—Enclosetl, please find a money-order pay-
able at the post office of your town for £3 9s sd. In
future you must send us your allotment note signed
across a receipt stamp.—Returning you the note,
we are, yours, &c., per M. G. Klingender and Co.,
C. F. VON MELLE. Money. order, £3 9s scl ; cost
of order, 6d; receipt stamp, Id—total, £3 10s."
"Liverpool, Oct. 31, 1862. Madam,—We
enclose you a money-order for £3 9s 6d, payable
at the post-office of your town. Returning you
the note, we are, yours, &c., per M. G. Klin-
gender and Co., C. J. Vox MELLE. £3 94. 6d. ;
cost of order 6d.—total, £3 10s."

" Liverpool, 31st Dec., 1862—Messrs. Klin-
gender and Co. enclose Mrs. -- a post-office
order for L 3 93, 6d., deducting as usual 6d. for cost
of order."

In February or March she wrote as usual for the
half-pay note. They wrote in reply that they could
sand her no more money as I had left the ship, and
they did not return her the half-pay note. The
following is the letter written to her :
" Madam—We have this day received advices
per West India mail from St. Domingo stating that
--, with three other men, deserted the Alabama
on the 25th of January, at Kingston, Jamaica, and
of course their allotment notes must be stopped.—
We are, &c., per M. G. Klingender and Co., C. J.
VON MELLE."

On my return I called at Fraser, Trenholm,
aad Co.'s office for the benefit of my wages, but
they declined to pay me, and all knowledge of the
ship, but Mr. Cooper gave me the name of Mr. M.
G. Klingender, and told me to see him and see if
he could arrange it. I did so, but he told me he
could not do so, as they had received a note from
