THE YARN.

II was much such another night as
this. We had the middle watch, and
had just relieved the deck our old ship
was walking off before it to breeze
that wanted no more canvass, than a
close reefed nam topsail and reefed
fore-course. Now she was as ungainly
cotton drogher as man might put his
foot aboard, and when il came to steer
ing her running large, it was for all the
world like driving Bantry Bay pig;
for it seemed as though she would 60
just where she had q mind. never
knew rightly how to dance binnacle
hornpipe, till | took her helm-and
she'd give you more insight into it in
one trick, than most crafts would in a
whole voyage. l,... -,
There was nothing new in the gale
we were, running afore, except that
Boreas seemed to have put fresh hand
at the bellows. II was the same gale
and more Of it, and as for the fog, it had
been thick enough to cut all along till

couldn't have found any thing that
would have held an edge against it,
My eyes but it was uncomfortable! as
n The word had been passed for a
bright look ont, as our reckoning said
we were close aboard Fair Island, but
the idea ofa look out was all in my eye.
We were all standing about Oh the
forecastle, trying to keep warm, with
as little noise as we could, ON account Of
the watch below. Some Of our chaps
got twisters underweigh, FIRST one, and
then another; one told about getting
run into, and the next about getting
ashore, and such like. Well, you see
these yarns made one feel bad, judging
where we were like 10 be, aAd running

From the Philadelphia Saturday Post
T H E NORTH BOU T
OR, THE WOMAN's TRICK.
BY EDWARD F. WELD.

Dense as are the fogs upon our own
shores, they are surpassed as to dreari-
ness and duration in and about the
north of Scotland--the track Of our
outward bound merchantmen, whose
ultimate destination is the north of Eu-
rope. The chronometer and sextant
become useless, while the running by
dead reckoning requires an untiring
watchfulness upon the part of the mari
ner, as he judges of his near approach
to danger, and every eye in the ship
is held in rsquisition to .'keep bright
look out" While SO engaged, the hours
Of the watch are beguiled Of their tedi-
BUSINESS by the tale telling propensity
ofJack. Of the many yarns it has been
my fortune to hear, will endeavor to
make twice told tale of one to which
| listened, upon as dreary night as
ever experienced, when going the
"North About" as the passage round
the north of Scotland is termed. To
alter the style, or strip it altogether OF
its nautical phraseology, would so ma
terially effect the story itself, that it
would become but miserable transla-
tion--a deed of injustice to author and
reader. Enough stand ready to wrong
the sailor on all tacks. Even Imay do
