The story must be familiar to the ma
iorIty of our readers, Of the Yankee pri-
yateersman, who, on being chased by an
English frigate in the latitude but not the
longitude OF Nantucket shoals, got out his
setting poles, and began to shove with
such apparent earnestnesS, that he per-
suaded the enemy ne run great hazard OF
grounding; on which the frlgate tackled
ABOUT and left Jonathan in water one hum
dred and hfty fathoms deep, TO pursue
what course ne pleased. 4,
the story, whether true or false, is 4
good one.
The following. from the German Of
Kotze5ue. is of the same Character
IL the year 1850, a ship loaded with
silk and GOTTA. which sailed from Smyr-
ns to Marseilles, had the misfortune,
when the voyage was part performed, to
tai, IN with al English priyateer. from
which it was impossible to escape, with
out a stratagem. The captain, a cool and
collected man, whose presence OF mind
never forsook him, no sooner saw that all
attempts at flight were useless, than he
ordered the crew into the cabin, suffering
No one 70 remain on deck excepting a
cunning Ragussn, who was well instruct
Ell IN the part ne was TO act.
The priyateer approached. and fired a
gun as al invitation to the ship to surren-
Ger. The Ragusan displayed white flag
asa signal OF distress. The priVsteer
drew nearer and called upon him to strike
his cOlors. "Ah! good Lord! my dear
Sir," said the crafty Italian, Il have not
strength enough lett for that. Come take
she shiP, | am only a poor passenger. We
are from Smyrna. The captain and half
Of the crew have died with the plague. A
hw moments ego there were six sick per
SONS in the cabin; God only knows wheth-
er they are set alive. | myself, am far
from being very well, and beseech you,
Tor Gods sake, To save me-
Go to the Dewitt :" said the privateers-
Nan, Il would not come a yards length
bearer your snip, if she was freighted
with all the wealth of Peru But | am
your friend" whinpered the Italian. 1.-The
French are all dead, or at least in the ag-
enies OF death. Do not leave me entirely
helpless"
The privatecr let down his boat, and at
the end OF a long pole, n of the crew
handed the pretended sick man a small
bottle Of vinegar. This done they sailed
away in all haste. Theaext day the ship
arrived at Marseilles in good order.
