Jenny Ducks and his wife
MOggy.

l"Snarlyow; or the Dog Fiend;" by
Capt. Marryatt. Jenny Ducks, it
seems, had procured his discharge
from an English man-of-war, com
manded by Lieut.. yanslyperken--bit
the Lieutenant determined he should
have flogging before he left the YES
sci, tor offences previously committed
and therefore resolved not to APP
lprize him of his discharge. until he
could turn him up for punishment
The fortunate arrival Of Jemmy's wife,
Moggy, saved him from the revenge
of Vanslyperken, as will be seen.
'Where is that scoundrel Ducks
cried Vanslyperken.

ed Jenny.

tenant.

up the hatchway in pretended bus
tie.

Eyes SIR replied the corporal, going
forward with assumed eagerness.
Just at this moment loud female
voice was heard alongside.

Suiting the action to the word, for
the sailors had beckoned to Moggy to
come on board, she boldly pulled along
side, and skipping over, she went up
direct to Vanslyperken. I'll just trou-
BILE you for my husband, and no mis-
take cried Moggy.

ed Moggy, putting her nose so close
to that of MIR. Vanslyperken that they
nearly touched, and then after few
seconds pause, for Van.lyperken could
not speak for rage, she added, well,

Send for your marines, Corporal
Van Splitter

replied the corporal, standing erect,
and salutiag; and if you please, sir,

Vanslyperken was at a nonplus. The
crew were in state of mutiny, the
marines had joined them what could
he do? To appeal to the higher an
thorities would be committing himself,
for he knew he could not fog man
who no longer belonged to the vessel.

Moggy, putting her arms a-kimbo.
MIR. Vsnslyperken made no reply
The corporal waited for orders, and
Moggy waited for her husband.
