Agnes in her ear She became frantic
The captain braced the tiller and looked
to see if there was steady breeze, and
then leaped forward. The three set upon
him with great violence. He gave tre-
mendous Halo 70 to the other yacht, and
Miss Agnes sprang to turn her American
flag bottom up.
Thus she had signal of distress. But
there was glorious fight going on. One
man seemed to be Frustrated, and the rest
were in the full vigor of their contest. 1t
was mutiny, clear and simple.
In moment there was little noise
from the other yacht She was close un-
der the lee. They pushed off a boat from
her deck and four men clambered into it.
Agnes rejoiced to watch her maid tremble
with terror.
"What frightful story she'll tell pa,
to be sure p reflected that young lady.
But in two minutes the assistance arriv-
ed. The four men leaped on the deck,
three of them deeply in earnest, and the
quarreling sailors were soon separated,
and the captain of the party ordered them,
in ringing voice, to be put into irons.
1t is needless to mention that this was Win
full of ardor.
He ordered the captain, who seemed ex-
hausted and half dead to be carried below,
and he sent thither the maid to nurse
him. He then took command of the
~ o,,I 4,,rn ol, xxy;t IA ic
men forward he ran for shore again.
"Deuced well managed y whispered he
to Agnes.
"You looked exactly like a hero. WILL"
she said.
"Did 1 ?' rejoined he complacently.
But, alas they were not quite through
yet. Will had just said to himself; " He
can't refuse me now. Think it: daughter
at sea bloody mutiny on board death
lurking everywhere; captain disabled ;
brave rescue; nothing to do but to shake
hands and give up the daughter at once"
He had no sooner fancied this line of
reasoning than kissing noise, mingled
with roar, came to his ears. .
The sailors shouted. He looked under
the main boom, and his blood froze with
horror; for there, close upon him, was the
but-end of white-squall. He showed the
helm hard, hauled in his sheets taut, and
then shut his eyes for one second. Then
he braced himself, and held Agnes like
grim death.
The tempest seized upon the boat as il
it were straw, and it went flying through
the mist and foam like race-horse. The
sailors took in double reefs. The compan-
ion way was shut and fastened. Miss
Agnes first being sent below. For half an
hour there was considerable danger. The
water burst over the quarters and swept
the deck repeatedly. Will began to think
this looked like earning wife. All al
once Will heard something give way and
felt tremendous rush and savage blow
upon the side of his head, and then he saw
the sailors rush toward him and then he
felt himself slide down. ' 'f
| When he came to again, he was in his
own room. On either hand was doctor
before him was the white and terrified
Miss Agnes and her grateful looking
father.
"What is the matter?" whispered Will
"Why you're half dead don't you know
it ?'' said one of the doctors. 1t seemed
that savage wave had twisted the raj
from off the stern of the yacht had hurled
it forward and precipitated it upon Win
The blow had been severe and bis righ
arm was badly fractured.
"Pa says / may nurse you, Will" mur
INJURED Miss Agnes, coming forward hal
scared
"Of course she can, my poor fellow
Who has better right than she? No on
that know of! Good gracious, my boy
/ didn't know you were such brave man
Subdue mutiny !. Save yacht Encounte
great danger Bless me ~
The old gentleman was overcome.
1t was pretty lucky on the whole tina
the maids story was not called for
though she told it below stairs with sucl
great assiduity, that Will has not ye
ceased to be regarded with deep respec
by all those who ever saw him. He fairl
achieved his honorable scars, and tn
father, whom he took to his bosom
has not regretted of the gift of his daugl

If this is a true story which the Bracke
county, KY, Chronicle tells, it certainly
singular;
