ANOTHER PERIL PASSED.
"Some months afterward, when the
Gazelle touched at Roderique, an En-
glish island in the Indian Ocean, the
Governor came aboard searching for an
escaped convict from Australia black
haired man. was standing with Mr..
Hussey the mate when the Governor
made the demand. NJ. Hussey said
that no such person was on board. The
Governor answered that he had inform
alton that n man had escaped on the
Gazelle. MIR. Hussey feared they might
seize the ship, 81 he said that a man Of
that description who had come or board
off the coast of Australia might be the
person. He called Bowman, whom
every one on board detested, and he was
put in irons and taken on shore. We knew
that he would tell the whole story (the
wonder is that he did not do it then;
but he wished to make terms for his own
release). That night the officers Of the
Gazelle threw the grindsione, with my
hat overheard, while l lag in the Cap
tain's cabin. A cry of sMan overboard!'
was raised, a boat lowered and the hat
picked up. There were on board some
English ex~-convicts, who had shipped
in Australia, and these only waited for
q chance to get me retaken. But one
of them, utterly deceived by the officers
strategy, declared that he saw me sink
where the hat was picked up. When
the Governor of the island came on
board next day to demand his prisoners
the flag was at half-mast, and the officers
sorrOwfully told him that the man he
probably wanted had jumped overheard
in the night and was drowned. His po-
licenen went among the crew and
learned the same news, being psrticu-
larry impressed by the Englishmsn's
story. Two days later the Gszelle sail
ed from Roderique, and l came on deck,
much to the establishment of the crew"
The narrative closes with the story on
the transfer to the Sapphire of Boston,
on which the narrator reached Liver
pool, and from that to the Bombay, on
which the passage was made to Phils-
delphia, as previously stated.
