cepted them with no less alaclity. In few
minutes, the irresistible drug worked lis ef
fects, and the deck was strewn with sleepinc
men.
Then Patterson seemed all of sudden
to 60 stark staring mad-he hugged Jack
he danced the Highland fling he shouted, be
screamed he ran little way up the rigging
and down again finally he ran to the aston
ished men at the wheel, and dragging then,
on their knees, cried {: Down with ye, John
son; down with ye Jarvis; down with We,
Jack, and thank God-who smote in the
night the whole camp of Assyria, who made
the earth TO open and swallow up Daihsm
and the whole company of Abiram-for de-
livering the gool ship Jamsetjee Jeejeebhoy
from the hands of the Philistines. Here,
let me take spell at the wheel, while turn
her head back to Singapore, and ye run and
take look at the God forsaken sons of Be-
lial, all lying like drugged fish down in the
state cabin-thanks to the essence of NOR
phine and the Pdparer dioscorides."
"But you don't mean that you really have
done this :" cried Johnson.
Sandy, you're mad,' exclaimed JAWS.
Come and see for yourselves returned
Jack. taking their hands, as if they were
children going walking. Come and see
what brave Sandy has been and done; and
call up the firemen too-all that can leave
the fres-and give hurra, for the ships our
own, and we've got rope round the black
guards necks.'
Well, they have got pluck, eh, Bill p said
Johnson to Jarvis.
It's the neatest 60 l ever see.' said Jarvis
to Johnson, as he rolled Baloo Singh under
his foot.
We'll, never said one of the fremen.
That chap1l be admiral some day, or nv
names not Jarvis said that worthy.
And when l am said Patterson, with a
grim smile, Jack here shall be post captain.
But quick, lads-I'm in command nov--to
business before pleasure. Get some three
quarter-inch rope, and tie these fellows hand
aud foot, and throw them in the hold. Re-
move all their knives and pistols, and search,
their pockets; then batten down the matches,
and and Jackll mount guard over them
and tell them our minds when they come
to-
My eyes, when they come to, old HULA
bsloo'l think he is dead again. said Jarvis.
And that ia, butcher of his, won't he cut
up rough?'
A murderous passion of revenge suddenly
.hene an Jehnse~'s ere-, he ----e a-oea
full cath, and slowly cooked revolver, and
bent over Hadji Hanna.
He spared none of our messmates,' he
said grinding his teeth; and now I'll settle
his account
Patterson leaped forward. seized the re-
volver, and threw it into a side-cabin.
Come; no mntiny, Jarvis he said; i
tell you III not have a hair of their heads
touched. They shall answer fo- these crimes
in another way. Wen not repay murder
with murder Remember the holy book:
Vengeance is mine; will repay it, saith
the Lord Touch these men, and l will
I shoot YOU down as | would a mad-dog, Jar
vis.'
We'll, I'll be hanged: if Sandy is not q
mixture of tie parson and the king of the
Sandwich Islands, grumbled Jarvis. But
suppose We must knock under, for be got Us
out Of the mess
! The sleeping men we're collected, and
thrown, not very gently Especially by Jar
vis), into the hold like so many cotton bales.
1t took two days to get back to Singapore
with that insufficient crew and the quantity
OF food given to the prisoners during that
time was hardly worth mentioning.
/ Small as the crew was, they we're sufficient,
thanks to Patterson's energy, to crowd up
every piece of colored bunting that was in
the vessel an hour before they entered Sin
gaPore.
1t was soon known that the Jamsegee Jee-
! jeebhoy had had mutiny on board; but,
thanks to the courage and prudence of two
boys-the cabin-boy and the doctors boy
the mutireers had been seized, and the ship
recovered.
An hour after the arrival of the Jamsetjee
Jeejeebhoy, Patterson and Davis stood blush
ing, and yet delighted, before the harbor'
master and several officers, who had come to
hear the convicts examined. Pale and scowl
ing, the Prophet and his followers stood in
the compound adjoining the harbor masters
house, guarded by detachment of English
soldiers.
And now, my brave boy said the harbor
master, tell US by what means you succeed
ed so admirably in contemplating these
numbering niggers.'
'Weel, it was just Pdpauer dioscorides,
replied Patterson, pulling at the tuft Of hi.

the Jamsetiee, and when was not reading
the Word of God or the Seamen's Manual
l was just studying the nature Of herbs
drugs, and minerals, little thinking what US.

sons of Belial.'
