Esoch broashl q siih him . copy 81 the

the escape frum the city jail Of four de-

Ne Of the efforts which were being made
by the police for their recspture.
I hal seen the scamps in court. and re-
membered them as hard, tough, and
ugly looking crew; and Is l folded the
paper I expressed the hope that they
might be caught, and properly punished.
After this l turned my attention to
getting under way, and the subject for u
tme passed my mind.
Upon getting outside, . north.westerly
."eeze gave us the wind upon our quar-
ter. and having arranged the watches, l
h0peI I might lie back for an easy trip.
At noon the wind chopped around to
the nortL ard and BASTARD, and looked
for blow, though did not fear anything
serious.
1t was late in the afternoon that our
boy, Frank Willis, lost bucket over
board.
Our spare buckets had been slowed in
the hold, en- the top Of the shocks, and
having told Frank to be more careful
next time, sent him down after one.
The main hatch Was kept closed, but
not in any way fastened, as we had often
occasion to 60 down after things, like
this bucket, for instance.
Frank went down, and was gone some
little time, and when he came back his
eyes were open with that wild stare
which betokens alarm.
"Captain," said he, "there's somebody
slowed away in the hold"
He repeated the assertion, and said he
had heard the voices of two or three men.
"They seemed to be wondering" he add
ed, "whether there was going to be a
storm; and one of them said if there was,
they'd be uncomfortable down there"
My first thought was of the poor
wretches who might have sought thus to
steal q passage; but another thought
came very quickly. 1t was of the four
burglars who had escaped from Jail.
Jack Smith had been in charge of the
brig during our last night in Portland
harbor; l called him, and told him what
Frank had heard, and then asked him if
he could account for it.
He shut his eyes, and scratched his
head, and reflected. Atlengthhe looked
up with light upon his face.
"Csp'n," said he, "you know we'd been
at work hard, and l was tired. Afore
midnight l laid down in the bunt
of the mans1 and went to sleep.
know l was woke up by a noise
of some sort, and 1 shook my.
self and looked around. By'm by I went
and looked over the stern, and there l
cav q boat just driftin' away into the
darkness. She had no sail, and was
pullin' no oars, and I could see nobody
10 her: 20 thought it was only boot
adrift, that had struck the brig in passin',
and Is couldn't we'll 60 after her alone,
let her Glide"
enjoiaed strict silence upon him, and
then called Mr.. Crockett, my mate.
Crockett vas Q kennebec man, strong,
true, and reliable. I told him what
