Very good, but very harmless"
"Aye, bat a little more powder will send it

"She bears it beautifully, Mr.. Hardin" said
the captain rubbing his hands in great gee, 'if
the Englishman yaws again we are SAFE"
"And there she goes" true enough the frigate
again brought her bow chaser to bear. "Bang"
went the gun, and "thud" went the ball harm
lessly through the sail That maneuver saved
the sloop, for in the instant, she shot across the
frigate's bows leaving her far astern. In a
dead run the sloop was much the superior Of
her opponent in sailing. In the evening the
Englishman was hull down, and in the morn
ing was not to be seen.
Nothing more ofnote happened. They were
delayed by contrary winds in the Gulf to such
degree, that they did not arrive at the mouth
Of the Mississippi until about the first of Janu.
ary. Here Captain Manton learned from some
fishermen that the British force had ascended
the river, and that there was brig among them
answering to description given of the Argen-
tine. s
"What now is to be done? Mr.. Hardin?" asked
George, of his first Lieutenant, as they were
walking the deck of the soop, as she was stand
ing "olf and on" about thirty miles from the
shore, "What do you think of following
them?'
"Why, sir, think it is almost too hazard
Gus, in the present circumstances"
"But we can be of service to the American
forces?"
"Aye, sir, provided we can pass sixty Brit
ish sail in the narrow channel Of the river, and
act in concert with our troops"

means"

from the mast head Officers and men looked

"What do you make her out, Mr.. Hardin"
asked George Of that officer who was looking
through glass.
II make her out British brig, and I'll bet

Fanny Hanchett was sitting in the parlor at
home. She could see from the window the
Argentine standing into the shore. She had
seen the brig before when she went on her mis-

knew that George commanded her. George

Der the maid of Havre- Grace who watched
over him while languishing with pain from his
wound, which but for her might have proved
fatal, the maid who had visited him in chains,
who had learned to love HIM with the whole
ardor of her generous soul? These were ques-
tions she dared not trust herself to answer
She gazed upon the tall ship, until the boat
was lowered from the side, when her father
came into the room saying: t@t18

ceiling was too deep for any outburst. But

taken in as they ncared the shore. Crowds 0
| the men of Havre de Grace lined the landing
for "grim visaged war had smoothed his wrin-

before, far away in the offng, and by the aid o.
glass, O'Neil knew it was Mantcn's brig for
the news Of her capture had long preceded her;
and as the word was passed from mouth to
mouth, the citizens repaired to the whar, and
there they stood with expectation and joy to
receive their brave countrymen, of whose ex-
plots they had heard. Above the rest was the
tall form of John O'Nd1, whose iron grey locks
fiuttered in the cold breeze, as with an impa-
tient eye he watched the advancing brig. They
rounded to before the town, and after salute
Of thirteen guns, her anchor was cast, the re-
naming sails, as if by magic, were quickly
furled, and trinity clewed to the yards, and all
was made tam for the night.
The gig was lowered away, and Captain Man,
ton with strangely beating heart stepped in
to it, and was quickly pulled to the shore
When the light craft touched the sands, a loud
shout rose up from thesaSsembled citizens and
was answered by the "three times three" of the
overjoyed crew. George leaped upon the beach,
and his hand was warmly grasped by O'Neil,
and told we'll their friendship. Then several1y

And frightened waves rush wildly back

the Bay and touching the heavy swells Of the
Atlantic, bounded like a seagull over its blue
waves. Nobly the crew have labored to make
all aboard taut and trim. Calamity, graceful
! ly, beautifully the "stars and stripes" foated
from the peak; and oft did the commander and
crew gaze alolt with noble pride upon their col
ors, for which twas glory to isht-glory to
die.
Everything was passing off favorably, until
the sloop was struck by squall off Cape Hat
teras. And they were forced to run into port
to reft; here they heard that Cockburn was
carrying on his predatory excursions along the
coast of Georgia and the Carolina burning and
stealing as their wont. Anxious as they were
to get to sea again, and punish the depredators,
they were delayed by several untoward circum-
stances, so that they were not ready for sailing
before the middle of October, when they put
out.
The Vixen cruised up and down the coast for
many days. but could not descry an enemy's
sail; then thanking that they had sailed for New
Orleans, Captain Manton resolved to follow
them. One morning while running down the
coast, Sail ho!" was hailed from the mast
head.
"Where away?' asked the captain.
"Dead ahead-bearin' uorth'ard by west
ard"
"What is she?"
"a heavy armed frigate, think; with main
top 81, top gallants and jib set"
George brought the glass to his eye-gazing
moment at the approaching vessel, jerked it
down, and biting his lip, turned to the helms
man:
"Put her hard lee,--so, so. Let go and
haul! Mr.. Hardin, | take her for an English
figate, and is going to give US chase; but think
the little Vixen can show her clean pair OF
heels.
The large heavy mansail tapped moml n
to the mast as the sloop's head veered round
the larboard tack, and then again catching tn
breeze sprang away to the eastward. The men
were beat to quarters, and the guns were run
through the ports, and then all eyes were turned
upon the advancing foe, who finding her signals
unheeded, also tackled and stood after them
The two ships were now describing nearly par
allel lines, the frigate fast shortening the dist
ance between them. 1t was indeed moment
of suspense to the young commander Of the
sloop, as he with Hardin stood gazing at the
huge black side looming down upon them
The frigate yawed, and bright flash burst from
her bow chaser while the ball came richotting
