BACKWOODSMAN AT SEA.
ny ROBERT srARpucK.

Among the crew Of the Maxwell a
merchant ship bound TO San Francisco
and the Sandwich Islands, there vas one
Of those tall. quSiht'looking, raw.boned
individuals who generally come under
the denomination oil backYwoodsman.
Here, then, on shipboard, Bill Sings
was decidedly oat Of his proper element.
Il seemed as though he world never
learn The ropes, blocks, and the many
little inuicucies that pertain 10 full
rugged merchantmen. Hence the many
and seriops biandets he made. both be-
low and aloh, TO the great Indignation
Of Captain Blake, and the amusement Of
the fore mast hands.
oh you Internal lubbCrp the skipper
would roar out, shaking his fist at him.
