The Cadiz Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1854-1864, 1859-06-29

"Not cloud. 1t is one of those balmy sep
tember days, when the South wind blowing
softly from warmer climes, ripping the blue
waves softly, sweetly, or heaying them in little
sparkling rolls along the vessels side, making
music sweet to the ear of the follower Of the
sea- To the east, right over the starboard IS
the shelving bank Of Sharp's island, the store
house for the plunder taken from time to time
how beautifully it is covered with the thick
masses Of foliage, decked in the particolored
hues Of the American Autumn. Anon the
sound Of voices on the shore, or the sghing OF
dancing waves to the vessel, mellowed down by
the distance. To the west is the rocky shore
of Maryland, rising up like huge grey wall a.
gainst the horizon, with here and there an open
ing through which flows some miniature stream
forming facilities for the fisherman along the
shore, as landing places for their boats. The
distance between the island and the shore is a.
bout mile and a half The suu's rays pour so
ardently down, that an awning has been hoisted
over the quarter deck. Some of the ships COM
psny having nothing to do, were carousing on
the shore; some were below mending their
clothes, and there are now but two persons on
deck, the second officer, was asleep under the
awning, and the other our Hibernian friend,
| Teddy Mahoney, who is lounging over the
yawl which had been slowed amidships on the
larboard. The pipe which he has been smok-
ing is now held listessly il his teeth unlit,-
| What his cogitation are, we shall not attempt
to divine.
See, he is leaning farther over the tadrail-
he has discerned some object on tho water
, What is it that has so rapt his attention, why,
a light skf had shot out from one ofthe little
coves OF the shore, containing two persons, and
was now dancing across the waves, propelled by
vigorous strokes on the oars.
Teddy watched the skiff few moments,
then scratching his head, and casting furtive
glance at the sleeping officer, stole softly to the
capstan, picking up the officers glass, he brought
it to bear upon the boat and contents Sudden
ly bringing down the glass, he muttered softly
"By the howly saint Patrick an it's mesell
that's KNOWN of that big buck nager, of the
ovid Majors, an who cud the ither be, but
pritty Misthress Fanney if she has got big
rag over her face; the prisoners has sumthin' to
do wild it, I'll be bound. I'll go down till Par
ker, mebby can save her the trouble Nv callin'
on him; but divll bit shill he know what I'm
afther knowin'." So replacing the glass upon
the capstan, he descended to the cabin, The
noise Of his entering reused Parker from light
doze which he was enjoying, when he looked
up and asked grufly;
"What now?"
"Shure yer honor, there's craft comm long
side, wild wimmin in it, an a big nager, black
as Tom O'Pagan's cat"
"a woman2" Es EIH

well take them aboard, and show the wo-
man down."
''Yis sur" touching his cap, and returning
along side, and Teddy throwing over rope
ladder assisted Fannie, (or it was indeed her
and Sanchez on deck He said a*
"Miss Fanny, I'm KNOWN ov ye."
"You do. 0, Terence, don't betray me-,
grasped the now frightened girl @
"Divil bit Nv it, me darlint, It's meself that
wud shivel the brogue for the ovid Major and
yerself my day" Il s.. -,
Terence, will you help me? asked the maid
now reassured. rasa
"To be sure wud, if yell only be good
enulF 20 tell me what ye'd have me doin,"
"Why came on board at my fathers wish
to ransom Mr.. O'Nel, and perhaps Lieutenant
Manton. Do you think will succeed?'
"Faix an Pm thinkin' hardly" answered
Teddy, shaking his head knowingly. "Mr
O'Neil an Parker had a rale tear up this NOR
MIN, an he knocked the darty villin right pur
ty, mind that now. But must be a takin' ye
down till him" # a0 ln
/ Whereupon she, still closely veiled, proceeded
by Teddy, descended to the cabin. Upon en-
: tering she found Parker still lounging upon the
: sofa, awaiting them . r. ..g ID. n
