to bring tho IRONS INTO the cabin. He replied
that he would DO so, but eventually brought only the
lock and key. When the two hours allowed for cx-
ercse had elapsed, the second mate was directed to
confne Tigno, bat he replied with remarkable cool
ness that Iignoli had, with the cabin boys asss
lance thrown the irons over the side; at the
time Tirnoh coming mp with his rcdoubtable knife,

Of resistance Under these eircumsta nces there was
no resource because the conduct Of the second mate
\ plainly demonstrated that dependence could be

dreaded what the consequences Of such an act would
be- among such crew, who would misrepresent
and falsfy everything. The only alternative, there
fore. was 10 remain quiet. At about eight o'clock
be was relieved from his state OF inquietude by the
arrival Of the captain who, learning how things
STOOD and seeing by the actions of the men, and the
repetitions Of the threats and abuse of Tgnoli that
any attempt to reestabsh order would be met with
determined resistance, returned Immediately TO the
king and requested him Immediately TO send one Of
the high chiefs and fifty men to assist in combining
Tgnoli, and overawe the crew-a disagreeable alter
native though not dangerous, SO long they could
keep the chief within range OF their pistols. The
king gave the necessary orders, and soon after fol-
lowed his people on board. Tiguo made some
hostile demonstrations but finding that the orders of
the king were positive and would be enforced, he
the tutility of resistance and once again
dered himself prisoner. Now, what was to be done
with man Of such dabolical temperament? To
| keep him aboard was eminently dangerous, and TO
| send him among the natives would be, TO say the
least of it. highly impotic The latter course, how
ever, selected by the captain, the kings pro-
mise to have Tignoli Immediately on his landing

Of tie chiefs or people having any communication

(Which had been replaced, and We're to remain on
him till the ship should leave the sland), the men
returned to their duty. and order was again estab
lished on board the turbulent Enterprise.
In the afternoon # the day, Tignols clothes
and other necessares sent to him at his request

the king son. who soon became corrupted by the
presents that Tignoh was able TO make from his
trunks. This chiefs araricc enlisted him in favor of
Tigno and he permitted Elliott to take the irons of
his feet These three, Tigno Elliott, and the king s
son, formed new conspiracy, in which the specious

lariy Of the prince the other, with the thirst for
blood and booty to cement these two influences soon
enlisted all the chiefs, and even the king; and.
