cat all events, we'll take the chance.
So why not slip the cables and buoy the
endsf There's nobody here to steal the
wood"
"All right. I've no objection to that.
So slip and buoy, my lads"
Giving this direction, while walking
forward, Mr.. Hall remarked that the
larboard anchor, which lay in only three
fathoms water, was upside down. He
therefore ordered his people to slip the
starboard cable; and, as he came ait
again, observed TO the Captain:
"As you've SO little cable out on the
larboard anchor, we'll weigh that"
"Why so?" asked the other, uneasily.
"Because if the wind fails us, as.seems
likely, we may have to anchor outside.
Now bear a hand alott there with the
topsail; and jump up, one or two OF you,
and loose the sails on the mainmast."
Meanwhile the mate had run forward,
and was seen assisting to unspiice the
lower cable.
"Belay that" cried Hall. "Unsplice
the other, the starboard, cabler'
''The mate made an attempt to COM
plete the work, however, by attempting
to let slip the end through the hdwse-
hole. But he was again frustrated, for
some OF the Rosebud's men had stitfen-
ed the cable Defore%ll, and brought to
the messenger.
BY this time the sails were loosed, and
the men assembled at the capstan, be-
gan 70 heaye round.
The result must, think, have been
anticipated. Very few who have ac-
quainted themselves with the but too
authentic narratives OF the barbara
ties practiced by slave captains at this
period, will doubt the truth of this.

"Come back, you numbering scoun-
