Whittier gave early indications of poetic
power Several of his juvenile poems, hav-
ing found their way into the newspapers and
magazines of the day, attracted the atten-
ton of some literary gentlemen, who appre-
clated the merits of his productions and re-
solved to make their author visit. to offer
their assistance in introducing the Quaker
poet to literary noteriety.
Accordingly, they took q conveyance that
soon set them down in the picturesque town
of Weare, New Hampshire, the residence of
the young poet. With some difficulty, they
found the dwelling of Whittier and they
were ushered into the best room of the house
by his mother, to whom they made known
their desire to see her SON.
All this time, young Whittier was work
ing away at the certainly unpoetical busi
ness of cleaning out the pig sty. He piled
his shovel with right good will, totally un-
conscious of the honor that awaited him.
Judge of his astonishment when Lizzy. his
sister, come, running from the house, and
Informed him "tbat it was full of very great
people who were waiting to see him.
"What shall 1 do ?" cried the poet in
agony. "Run, Lizzy, and get my boots,
while [ wash me in the brock"
The boots were brought, but the bare.
wet feet ef Whittier refused to enter. At
length, after deal of tugging, Que went
on; but, oh horrors the other would not
60 on, neither would the first come off.
GA pretty looking spectacle l shall pre-
sent for their inspection" murmured Whit
tier, as, with one boot in his hand and the
other on his foot, he entered the house.
But in short time, the fattering words of
his guests made him forget the awkward
ness of his attire.

The heat was intense, so much so that the
chief mate had told the boatswain to keep
the watch out Of the sun; but the watch
below found it too warm to sleep, and were
tormented with thirst which they could not
crafty till the water was served out. They
had drank all the previous days allowance;
and now that the scuttle butt was drv. there
was nothing left but endurance. Some of
the seamen were congregated on the top
gallant foresail and gazed on the blue clear
water with longing eyes.
How cool and clear it looks" said tall,

there are many sharks about-what do YOU
say for bath, lads?'
"That for shark" burst simultaneously
from the parched lips of the group: "Well
have jolly fine time of it when the the
second mate goes to dinner'
In about half an hour the dinner bell
rang. The boatswain now took charge of
the deck; some twenty sailors were now
stripped, except pair of light duck trow-
sers; among the rest was powerful coast
of-Africa negro, of the name of Leigh: we
used to joke and call him Sambo.
"fou no swim to-day, Ned?" said he,

1 was tempted, and like the rest was
soon ready.
In quick succession we jumped off the
spirit sail yard, the black leading. We had
scarcely been in the water five minutes
when some aboard cried out GA shark! a
shark % In an instant every one came
tumbling up the ships side; half mad with
fright, the gallant black among the rest.
1t was false alarm. We felt angry with
ourselves for being frightened, angry with
| those who frightened us, and furious with
those who laughed at us. In another mo-
ment we were all again in the water, the
black and myself swimming some dis
tance from the ship. For two successive
voyages there had been sort of rivalry
between US; each fancying that he was the
best swimmer, and We were now testing our
speed.
"Well done Ned" cried some of the SAL
lors from the forecastle. "Go it, Sam"
cried some others. We were both strainipg

spective partizans. Suddenly the voice of

distinctly on our ears. The race instantly
ceased. AS yet we only half believed what
we heard, our recent fright being still in
our memories.
"Swim, for Gods sake" cried the cap
tain, who was now on deck, "he has not
yet seen you. Strike out, for Gods sake!"
My heart stood still; I felt weaker than
child as gazed with horror at the dorsal
fin of large shark on the starboard quar-
ter. Though in the water, the perspiration
dropped from me like rain; the black was
striking out like mad for the ship.
