and It was most tastefully fitted up with
sails and rigging. On its illuminated

she sinks, we'll die at the pumps"
But what magnificent object is that
which suddenly comes into view on the
opposite side Of the street An illu-
minated ship, moving as grandly as If
sailing on the most propitious sea As
she moves nearer, we find she is about
eighteen feet long, and wide in proper
ton.
The hull il covered with canvass and
| lighted up with numberless candles; il is
provided with masts and sails, two Amer
lean Aags, and the American jack, while !
from the yards dangle twenty-five or
thirty Chinese lanterns.
This carries eighteen persons-two
men, and 10 boys-who are dressed in
sailor uniforms, their number represents
the number Of clubs in the county.
She is called "7he Doctor" and carries
seyenty-four guns.
On her sides are the words "Beaure-
gard club" As she moves up to the top
ofthe hill a red light is suddenly displayed
which throws lurid glare over the ship
and assembled multitude.
Finally she draws up near n platform
on the side Of the street, and when auiet
is obtained little boy, dressed in sailor
uniform, steps to the front and cries out
